Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

Posted on May 1, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning – May 1, the start of the NEW 2024-2025 ANNUAL CATALOG. Yeeha – it goes live today! I have a couple of new team members I want to welcome so created a card with the Thoughtful Journey DSP. This is such pretty paper and I chose this pattern to showcase today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

I cut the DSP 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 then on the short side cut it in half again, creating two strips. The strip on the left I cut 1 3/4 off the top. The remaining strip I cut 1 3/4 off the bottom. Laying them on a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock 4 x 5 1/4 created this pretty scene. I adhered the pieces in place, keeping the spaces even all around then added that to a Thick Basic White card base. The stamped sentiment is done in Mossy Meadow ink using the Unbounded Love stamp set. I cut it with a banner die in the Unbounded Love dies. I took a length of Linen thread and wrapped it around a bit, then added it to the back of the sentiment die cut, adhering it in place first with Stampin’ Seal+, then added a couple of dimensionals. After attaching it to the card, I trimmed the one end. I added three Purple Shimmer Gems as a final touch

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes, inside card

For the inside, I pulled out Thoughtful wishes stamp set and with Markers, inked the stamp: Blackberry Bliss for the flower part and Mossy Meadow for the stem/ leaves. I gave it a good haw with my breath to add a bit of moisture and stamped it on a piece of Basic White. I die cut it with the coordinating die in Thoughtful Wishes Dies and added it to a 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White and Mossy Meadow 4 x 5 1/4 for the inside of the card. Welcome, welcome!

For the envelope, I pulled another of the beautiful DSP from Thoughtful Journey pack and added it to the envelope flap and to the bottom of the envelope front. This paper looks like watercolor images and are just stunning.

Stampin’ Up! Retiring DSP Thank You Cards

Posted on April 30, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

HelIo again – it is April 30 – the final day of two catalogs: the Jan-Apr 2024 catalog and the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. decided to share one more card – or 3 – of the same layout, but in retiring papers… These cards use Forever Love 12×12 SDSP and Poetic Expressions DSP. + the Color & Contour bundle. Here they are…

Stampin' Up! Forever Love SDSP Thank you card front — Card 1 w/ Forever Love SDSP

Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions DSP Thank You card front — Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP

Card 1 uses Pretty Peacock card base and is layered with Forever Love SDSP and Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, Pretty Peacock Foil Gems and Gold ribbon. I used Stitched Shapes Dies to create the sentiment .

Card 2 uses Thick Basic White for the card base, a layer of Wild Wheat embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder, then the layers of Poetic Expressions DSP. This card uses the Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat, the Color & Contour stamp set for the sentiment, die cut with the same Stitched Shapes Dies circle. This was embellished with the 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in pink.

Card 3 is so similar… the difference is Wild Wheat card base and embellishments of 23-25 In Color Dots in Wild Wheat. Everything else is the same as card 2.

Stampin' Up! Forever Love & Pretty Peacock thank you card, inside — Card 1, inside

Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions Thank You Card, inside — Cards 2 & 3 same inside

The inside of the cards are similar as well… a flower stamped then stamped again with a filler stamp w/ second generation ink. On the Pretty Peacock card, I added a layer of the Forever Love SDSP before adhering the inner panel – and of course the flower is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. The other two cards have no DSP layer for the inside, just the stamped panel in Wild Wheat and second generation ink for the flower ‘filler’.

Poetic Expressions DSP Thank You Card — Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP

The envelopes… Pretty Peacock ink was used to stamp the flower on both the envelope flap and the envelope front. On the other two cards I adhered Poetic Expressions DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit and stampoed the flower image in Wild Wheat ink. Finis.

Stampin' Up! Diagonal Split Fun Fold w/ Daisies

Isn’t this pretty? I’m heading to a convention on Thursday and the ‘logo’ is daisies – so what better use of this Delightfully Eclectic DSP and Scalloped Contour Dies? and this fun fold is so quick & easy.

Directions
- * Cut card base – here it is Thick Basic White – 4 1/4 x 10 1/4, score at 5 1/2
- * Cut Designer Series Paper – Delightfully Eclectic DSP – 4 1/4 x 4 34 and adhere to card front
- * While this is drying, cut additional pieces of DSP 2 5/8 x 3 15/16 + 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope flap)
- * Place card front in Paper Trimmer and cut on the diagonal. For my measurements I used 1 1/4 on left upper corner and about 1 1/2 on right lower corner.
- * Using Basic White card stock and the 2nd largest of the Scalloped Contour Dies, create the scalloped piece. Adhere the small panel(2 5/8 x 3 15/16) of DSP to it’s center. Add dimensionals to the back of this panel, both top & bottom.
- * Add this panel to the closed card front – top portion only! Remember the cut diagonal removed the bottom :O) It will be about 1/2″ from top of fold and about 5/8″ from each side.
- * With the card closed, slip the bottom diagonal piece under the scalloped die cut, making it even with the inside of the card bottom & sides. Remove backing on remaining dimensionals and close card.
- * Using the Sweetly scripted stamp set, Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a 4 1/4 x 1″ strip of Basic White, stamp the preferred sentiment. Add dimensionals to each end and adhere over the die cut panel

On the inside of the card… on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel and using the daisy outline stamp from Color & Contour stamp set, stamp in Petal Pink both in the upper right corner and lower left. Now stamp the ‘fill’ image of the flower in stamped off Petal Pink – this is called second generation stamping. Add the panel to the inside of the card – and done! I created at least 3 of these, just like this, then did two others using the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink to cover the card front, yet continued with the Delightfully Eclectic Daisy DSP on the Scalloped Contour Die.

Stampin' Up! Diagonal Split Front Fold w/ Scalloped Contour Dies

For the envelope, I used another piece of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to cover the envelope flap and trimmed it to fit. On the envelope front, I did the same daisy stamp from Color & Contour stamp set with Petal Pink ink. I did the same for all five cards.

Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper Gatefold Card

Posted on April 26, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning.! I’ve been on a ‘kick’ lately about using more of my retiring Designer Series Paper – and I’m happy to say I’m making progress. Of course, in doing that I haven’t been showcasing new items as much as perhaps I should. Having said that, know you can use current DSP & die cuts to your hearts delight -:O)

This card uses Masterfully Made DSP, which is very colorful and abstract -gives the idea of torn edges. This particular paper has Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry – at least on this card. Here are the deets…

The card base is 4 x 5 1/2 and I used Berry Burst as there is so much of this wonderful color in this particular portion of the DSP. I cut the Designer Series Paper 5 1/4 x 12 and scored it @ 2, 4, 8 & 10. On each short end mark the center (2 5/8) and trim from the score line to the mark, saving that piece to adhere to the front. Fold along score lines mountain, valley, valley, mountain. Adhere this to the card base.

Now it’s time to decorate… I used the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut a circle from Basic White, then pulled out the Gorgeously Made stamp set (retiring April 30) and stamped images on the circle: the wording in stamped off once Crushed Curry and the lines in Pumpkin Pie, full strength.While this stamp set was on my table, I stamped the same lines image on a piece of Basic White 43 3/4 x 5 across the bottom in Pumpkin Pie ink. I die cut this stunning open leaf from Basic White using the Artistic Dies (also retiring April 30. And now, ready to put together… I closed the card with folds intact and noted where to place the circle so it would be centered on the card front. NOTE>>> when attaching with dimensionals, it’s only on the one side. Remove backing on the dimensionals and add. With the card in the closed position again, add the large leaf die cut with dabs of liquid glue along the stem and tips of leaves – just where it will attach to the circle.Add three Berry Burst dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment – carrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog! Now add the Basic White stamped panel to the inside of the card – and ready!

Envelope.. Cut another piece of DSP 2 1/4 x 6 and adhere to the envelope flap, trim to fit. Across the front of the envelope, stamp the lines image along the bottom. With no sentiments on this card, it can be sent for just about any reason at all… to a man or a woman. Perfect for your stash! and you can add a sentiment to the inside if you need to, when the time comes.

Stampin' Up! DSP Gatefold card & envelope

A couple of things to remember: this DSP, the Gorgeously Made Bundle and the Artistic Dies are all retiring end of day April 30 – so if you want to get them, do so ASAP in the Last Chance Products.

Stampin’ Up! New Leaf Collection Stamp and Citrus Blooms Dies for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog Hop

Posted on April 25, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome! It’s Thursday and we have a sketch challenge for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. I’ve pulled a new stamp from the 24-25 Annual Catalog (goes live to customers May 1) called Leaf Collection and love it! It’s big – a single stamp. I used two colors on this – Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry and added Citrus Blooms Dies as well on the card front.

Stampin' Up! Leaf Collection for blog hop, card front

Here’s what I did.. I used the Stampin’ Up! Glass Mat & placed the stamp leaf side up, inked a portion with the Pumpkin Pie ink pad, then right away inked the other portion with Crushed Curry ink pad. I then used the SU! Brayer to roll over it, blending the colors. I did NOT go back & forth, one direction only from light to dark, then placed my Basic White card stock on top of the inked stamp and pressed with a cardboard piece to make certain the ink transferred evenly. I removed the cardboard and lifted the card stock panel straight up, turned it over and left it alone for a bit to make certain it was good and dry. I then cut it down to size (3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I added this to a Pumpkin Pie cut 4 x 5 1/4, added dimensionals and adhered to a Crushed Curry card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I cut a piece of Basic White 2 3/8x 2 3/8 and adhered it to a Pumpkin Pie 2 1/2 x 2 3/8. I cut a piece of Inked Botanicals DSP (retiring Apr 30) 1 x 2 3/8 and adhered it to Crushed Curry 1 1/8 x 2 3/8. Both were added to the card front with dimensionals. I die cut leaves using the Citrus Blooms Dies as they look similar to the leaves of the stamp :O) – in Pumpkin Pie & Crushed Curry. Two were added with dabs of Liquid glue, the other with trimmed dimensionals. As a final touch I added three Glossy Dots.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms stamp set, inside card

For the inside of the card I kept it really simple… I stamped the word happy in Pumpkin Pie ink, then the rest of the sentiment in Crushed Curry ink – both from the Citrus Blooms stamp set. I added this Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie piece then both to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Leaf Collection stamp and Inked & Tiled DSP card & envelope

For the envelope, I used another stamp in the Citrus Blooms stamp set and Crushed Curry ink to stamp the envelope front, then added the same Inked Botanicals DSP as on the card front to the envelope flap. This is such a simple, easy card – and could easily be used as a masculine card, which I sometimes struggle making. Such fun working with the Leaf Collection stamp and the Brayer to create this!

Stampin’ Up! April Paper Pumpkin

Posted on April 20, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning – Paper Pumpkin is a monthly creative & inspirational fun box that comes in the mail. This month it is titled Delicate Wings and has all the makings for nine (9) cards with decorated envelopes. The cards are stunning & I made them according to directions – lots of opportunities to use these! Nine cards ready to send in just over an hour – can’t beat that!

Here they are all complete. Now let’s look at each one.

Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumkin, card 1April — Card 1

This is my favorite card – and the butterfly is just stunning set on a champagne background piece before attaching to the card front. There is a coordinating die set for this month’s PP and will coordinate with the next two months of Paper Pumpkins as well – so this card gives me inspiration of ways to use one of the dies. :O) The second image above is the inside of the card – a punch-out included in this months PP used on another card – this was a leftover .

Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumpkin, card 2 — Card 2

This is also very pretty and each of the butterflies on this card front was a punch-out provided in the kit. I did add Festive Pearls – a retired item – to the body of each butterfly. On the inside of the card is the stamped image in Basic Gray (provided as an inkspot in the kit) and another extra butterfly punch-out.

Here, card 3, you see the butterfly punch-outs and how they were to be used. Love this! And of course, I added Festive Pearls (retired) to each of the punch-outs. The sentiment panel is stamped with a stamp from the kit – again in Basic Gray, and attached with dimensionals. And on each envelope front is a butterfly stamped image from the stamps included in the kit. The envelope flap in each case is embossed with gold butterflies!

If you so desired, color coordination for these are: Basic Beige, Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Champagne.

As mentioned earlier, there is a coordinating die set – called Thanks & Beyond. If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can purchase this die set for $12. Want to learn more about being a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – click here!

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 18, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a challenge today for the blog hop – flowers… and I just HAD to pull out the Magnolia Mood bundle from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. I’ve had it for a while and it was/ is time to put it to use – it is just so beautiful. And here in NJ we have several magnolias in bloom!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood, ONLINE Exclusive

This card is soft and understated with a Thick Basic White card base, then Petal Pink covered with Vellum Basics Specialty DSP – a retiring item. I stamped the magnolia from the Magnolia Mood stamp set in Basic Gray ink and used the Dark Petal Pink Blend to color the flowers. I used Light Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend to color the center., then die cut it with the coordinating Magnolia Mood Dies. I die cut a few extra leaves using the Magnolia Mood Dies and Basic White card stock and attached them with Stampin’ Seal+, then the entire die cut was added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Magnolia Mood stamp set in Basic Gray ink on Basic White then die cut it with a die from the Autumn Leaves Dies and attached it with Stampin’ Seal+. As a final touch I added three pearls from the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog – Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood bundle, card inside

For the inside… I stamped this very sweet image of a magnolia bud with leaves in Petal Pink ink, then die cut it with the Magnolia Mood coordinating die, & attached it to the Basic White insert with liquid glue. This was added to the inside of the card with liquid glue again.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Bundle card & envelope

For the envelope, I kept it simple again… and stamped this sweet floral image in Basic Gray ink on the envelope front and that was it. As I said – understated but lovely.

Please check my information below the blog hop list to order this beauty. And if you have questions, just let me know. Now… on with the hop. Carol always has a fun project – and she’s next nf the hop. Enjoy visiting everyones creations!

Stampin’ Up! JuniorLegal Pad Notebook w/ Masterfully Made DSP & Thoughtful Expressions Bundle

Posted on April 17, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Yesterday was a very successful working outside kind of day! 77 degrees and dry leaves that could easily picked up, some Easter bulbs planted and yard furniture taken out from shed. Whew! To say the least, just a bit sore today :O)

I like notebooks and have a few notepads on shelves and in convenient places – and decided to make some fun covers for them – they are nice notepads – and give as gifts. Here’s my first.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP & Thoughtful Expressions bundle, notepad cover

This is such pretty Designer Series paper! I love the colors, wonderfully paired Lost Lagoon, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist. Yummy. And the belly band is made with Pretty Peacock. The base of the notebook is the white backing for the DSP – you know the one with name of DSP and color coordinations. It is cut 10 3/4 x 8 1/4 scored at 5 1/4 & 5 1/2. I rounded the corners but you wouldn’t have to do that. The front DSP mat is 5 1/8 x I 8 1/8.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP, notepad cover w/o belly band

And here are inside and back photos.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made DSP
notebook, back side.

Just to explain the inside a bit: in photo with the butterfly (butterfly is a Paper Pumpkin add-on called Thanks & Beyond Dies) – that is a pocket for extraneous notes (3 7/8 x 5) with a full liner of Pretty Peacock 5 1/8 x 8 1/8. The second photo above shows another ‘liner’ of Pretty Peacock 5 1/8 x 8 1/8 and the ‘holder’ for the notepad 1 1/4 x 12 – also from the backing of the DSP. I wrapped it around the heavy piece of the back of the notepad, adhered the ends together, removed it from the notepad and adhered it to the notebook with the smooth side up. This allows for replacement of a Junior Legal notepad at any time. The last photo is another panel of Masterfully Made DSP 5 1/8 x 8 1/8 adhered to the notepad base.

The belly band… 1 1/4 x 12 Pretty Peacock covered with a strip of Masterfully Made DSP 1 1/8 x 12. Wrap loosely around closed notepad and adhere ends together in front with Tear n’ Tape. Decorate: Using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies, I die cut two pieces for the label – Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lime Twist and adhered together with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink and added several dimensionals to the back. With the belly band in place on the notebook I attached the die cuts to the belly band.With the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set I stamped the floral image on a Basic White piece in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Berry Burst, Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lime Twist. I die cut the image with the appropriate die from the Thoughtful expressions dies and adhered in place with dimensionals. As a final touch, I added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Berry Burst – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

The Masterfully Made DSP retires at the end of April as the 23-24 annual catalog sadly ends. It is still available, but not for long! Click the Last Chance photo to take you directly to the shop!

Stampin’ Up! Notecards & Earthen Elegance DSP

Good morn ing! Oh my goodness, we have had a stunningly gorgeous weekend – well, mostly on Sunday. We had sprinkles on Sat & overcast skies. But Sunday was glorious!!! I’ve been working on using my retiring DSP and started with a pack that was nearly gone – Earthen Elegance DSP. I paired it with the beautiful Thoughtful Expressions bundle and some other items. I have six cards to share – some just the card fronts.

Stampin' Up! Notecards & Earthen Elegance DSP — #1

I added Granny Apple Green die cuts & Blends for card #6 & two small leaf dies in Pretty Peacock – also Countryside Corners Dies in two layers. Thoughtful Expressions stamp set & Dies were the foundation and the Earthen Elegance DSP.

My idea is to use as much of the retiring DSP as I can over the next days as they retire April 30. It’s much more fun to use the new supplies, but I want to USE the retiring DSP – bottom line!!! I have more new supplies arriving soon that are in the 24-25 Annual Catalog & can’t wait to share those as well.As with any new catalog, I am offering Designer Series Paper Share & this year, also ribbon shares. Here is a link to see all the details for ordering those shares through me. The new catalog goes live to customers May 1. If yoou do not have a demonstrator, I would be happy to send a catalog.
