Stampin’ Up! ‘Pinched Paper’ Fun Fold with Lovely & Beautiful SDSP

Posted on January 16, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! It’s 18 degrees this morning but nice & brightly sunny 😀 My inspiration came from one of my card class students who passed along info about making this cute fun fold. That led me to watch a video by Rachel Tessman. Let’s look at my creation.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful fun fold card front

This begins with a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and adhering a strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 to the center of the panel. Now cut two more strips from the same pattern 1 3/4 x 5 1/4. Adhere those strips in this fashion: the left strip – add adhesive only to the left edge & attach; the right strip – add adhesive to the right edge and attach.

Folding: fold back the top right side of the left strip to approximately the center of the card, but the fold should not allow any of the Basic White to show. Turn the card upside down and do the same for that same panel to create the bottom fold. Now, do the same for the right strip; fold back the top left side of the right strip just to the edge of the center strip pattern to a center point. Turn the card upside down again and do the same on the bottom right side. Burnish those folded back sections.

TIP: this folding back does not necessarily have to be to the center; it could be more toward the top or toward the bottom, but both sides do need to be uniform – to the same point.

Create the center pieces to cover where the papers come together. I pulled out my Beautifully Celebrated Dies, Fresh Freesia card stock and Basic White, die cut the two pieces and adhered them together. ( I used the smallest & next size up). I then stamped this sweet leaf image in Old Olive ink from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set and colored it with Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I die cut it with coordinating dies (Beautifully Celebrated) and set it aside. I used the Simply Beautiful stamp set and Old Olive ink for the sentiment and fussy cut it, adhered the leaf to the back of the sentiment then attached the sentiment with mini dimentionals to the two die cut banners. W
ith the Simply Beautiful stamp set, I stamped the small flower in VersaMark ink (twice) on a Basic White piece, sprinkled those with WOW? Metallic Gold embossing Powder & heat set them. I colored both with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends for the flowers and Daffodil Delight for the center of the flowers. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Simply Beautiful Dies and adhered them to the same banner: one adhered directly to the and one on dimensionals (yes, it slightly covers some of the sentiment) I attached the banners to the front of the card with dimensionals and added three Pearlized Faceted Circles.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the same small flower from Simply Beautiful stamp set in VersaMark ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set it. Again I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Fresh Freesia and Daffodil Delight. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a nother piece of Basic White and die cut it with Words of Beauty Dies. I adhered this just beneath the flower – and finis! This could easily be a sympathy card or get well card or simply ‘hello friend’ kind of card. But I love the simplicity of the fun fold and the extra charm it creates. Hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Brushed with Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 15, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the weekly Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and if you have come from Tara or just hopped right in here – glad you stopped by! You will get some fun ideas today so let’s begin…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty for sketch challenge

I began with Very Vanilla A2 size card. The floral pattern of the Brushed with Beauty is 2 x 4 and I adhered a thin strip (!/2 x 4) of another pattern from this package of DSP to the left side of the floral piece and adhered it to the card base – a 1/4″ edge on three sides. I then cut a piece of Crumb Cake 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 and stamped it with this fun pattern using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set and Crumb Cake ink. I then adhered a strip of Mossy Meadow 1/2 x 5 1/2 to create the same edge as the upper panel & adhered it in place. I die cut the leaf from Mossy Meadow and set it aside while I made the sCake ink on a Very Vanilla strip 1/2 x 3 3/4. The leaf was added to the back of the stripn with liquid glue, then the strip added to the card front with dimensionals. As a final touch – three Pressed Flower Motifs were attached to bring it all together. These embellishments are an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE item from the Beautiful Gallery Suite.

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card inside

For the inside… Crumb Cake ink and items in the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set were stamped on the Very Vanilla insert (4 x 5 1/4)

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Brushed with. Beauty DSP was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the envelope front, the same leaf as on the inside of the card was stamped on the front – also in Crumb Cake ink. And there you have it – finis!

Stampin’ Up! New Covered in Flowers Accents Cards

Posted on January 12, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good, good morning. It was rainy here Saturday and I was able to play in my craft room. I had such fun playing with a new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product released Jan 6. It’s called Covered in Flowers Accents. They are a laser cut sheet of flowers and leaves, cut from something other than paper, yet very thin and not as fragile as paper. They are stunningly gorgeous. Here are my four cards.

Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers Accents, card 1

Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers Accents, card 2

Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers Accents, card 4

You can see that I stuck with a certain color theme for all four cards, Timid Tiger and Cloud Cover. I used the same embellishments on each card, varying the color per the need: 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls, again in Timid tiger and Cloud Cover. On the first card I used Secret Sea. On the very last card I chose to use a Blending Brush to color the floral accent: Timid Tiger & Pumpkin Pie, the Granny Apple Green & Garden Green.

The sentiments on the card fronts : card 1 is from Fragrant Flowers stamp set, stamped in Secret Sea & punched out with the Three Banner Punch; card 3 sentiment is from Prayers & Promises stamped in Cloud Cover & die cut with Beautifully Celebrated Dies the inked the edges with Cloud Cover; card 4 front sentiment is from Banner Sayings stamp set in Cloud Cover ink and punched with the coordinating Three Banner Punch.

And here are each of the cards on the inside.

Stampin' Up! Covered in Flowers Accents card 1 inside

Stampin' Up! Prayers and Promises, card 2 inside

Stampin' Up! Prayers & Promises sentiment card 3

Stampin' Up! Prayers & Promises inside card 4

On each of the cards inside, I used a Blending Brush prior to stamping the sentiment. On the first card I used the punched out ‘frame’ as the template from the flower on the front and stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink using the Fragrant Layers stamp set. For the remaining three cards I stamped in Cloud Cover ink using various sentiments from Prayers & Promises stamp set.

Other products used to make these cards: Stripes Embossing Folder on card 1 and the Stone & Vine Embossing Folder on card 2. On card 3 I added Nature Walk 12×12 DSP to the full card front. All the cards use 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP: card 1 – (3) panels cut 1 x 3 & layered to Timid Tiger 3 1/8 x 3 1/4; card 2 – 1 x 3 & 2 x 3 layered on Timid Tiger1 3/8 x 4 32/8 & 2 3/8 x 3 3/8; card 3 – 1 x 4 & 1/2 x 4; card 4 – 1/2 x 4 & 1 1/4 x 4. Each of the Basic White layers are 3 3/4 x 5. On card 4 there is an additional layer 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. Card bases are either 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, making all card fronts 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. The inside layer is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4.

And here are the coordinating envelopes with the cards.

Stampin’ Up! Diamond Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 8, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our 2nd hop of 2026! If you came from the fabulous Tara or just popped right in here, we’re glad you stopped in. We have a fun color challenge today and I have chosen Strawberry Slush, Bubble Bath & Real Red for my colors with a new fun fold. Let’s take a look.

Fun Folds can sometimes be difficult or time consuming – this one is not. It begins with a card base 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 scored on the long side @ 2, 4, 4 1/4, 6 1.4, 8 1/4 & 8 1/2 (Strawberry Slush card stock). In the last 2″ section, add adhesive and adhere to the first section, securing just to the score line. This will now be the back of the card. Add your contrasting layer(Bubble Bath) to each panel (4 panels 1 7/8 x 5 3/8). Add your Designer Series Paper (2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP) to three panels & Basic White to the last panel – which is the back. (3 panels of DSP 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 & 1 panel of Basic White same size.) Add sentiments and stamping to the Basic White panel. Decorate front with a sentiment (Hearts of Elegance stamp set) stamping in Bubble Bath and die cutting with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Stamp the heart in Real Red, fussy cut and adhere it with a single dimensionals to the die cut sentiment. Add the sentiment with liquid adhesive to the double scored section on the front. Add lots of embellishments for glam… Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems (from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.) Here’s how it looks from the top down and a photo of the completed back.

Stampin' Up! Diamond Fun Fold from the top

diamond Fun Fold back of cardStampin' Up!

This card folds flat to go into a regular A2 envelope :O) Speaking of the envelope, stamp the sentiment on the front using Real Red ink and the Hearts of Elegance stamp set. Add the same 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP to the flap (Strawberry Slush) – and finis! This is such a quick & easy fun fold and yet it is new and different.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 18, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the week before Christmas – and this fun blog hop with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today… I’ve chosen to use the Simply Beautiful bundle & other products in the Lovely & Beautiful Suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful Bundle card front

I began with a Fresh Freesia card base and added two layers of the Lovely & Beautiful Special DSP, off-setting them for the challenge and attached them with dimensionals. I then pulled out Petal Pink to die cut the two flower pieces and Gold Foil for the stems & leaves. I used a sponge dauber & Calypso Coral ink to add dimension to the flower centers. Using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies, I also die cut the sweet label under the flower from Basic White and used the same sponge dauber to sponge the edges. I stamped the sentiment in Petal Pink ink and fussy cut along the bottom. This was attached with dimesnionals. Final touch… the awesome Pearlized Faceted Circles. Let me explain the flower layers a bit more… I added the two petal layers with a single cut in half mini dimensional, but it didn’t quite ‘sit’ the way I wanted, so I rolled a glue dot and attached that to one of the petals and it did the trick. The gold foil stamen is added with a glue dot.

For the inside… The leaf is stamped with Memento ink – my ink pad is way juicy and the image is quite strong 😦 But I colored the leaf with Stampin’ Blends in Old Olive. I added the Basic White panel to another piece of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP and attached them to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card & envelope

For the envelope… another stamped image in Memento ink Simply Beautiful stamp set & colored with Stampin’ Blends Petal Pink & Old Olive. The flap has the same Fresh Freesia Lovely & Beautiful SDSP trimmed to fit. For information about shopping with me or joining my team, see below.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on December 9, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Our theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that any needed way. I have chosen to use the brand new products in the Lovely & Beautiful suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 23-29. This is an absolutely gorgeous suite & I’m highlighting only a small bit of it.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog hop Group

The background is this fun checkered pattern & I’ve stamped this sentiment from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral. I then die cut from the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper the flower & leaves using the Simply Beautiful Dies. The leaves & tiny pieces are adhered directly to the card front while the flower is on dimensionals as is the stamen (it’s on a mini dimensional cut in half!) I then added these gorgeous Pearlized Faceted Circles that are also a part of the suite. The Specialty DSP was added to a Basic panel slightly larger then attached to the Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals. I made a small Linen Thread bow and tucked it under the flower, adhering with a dab of glue.

For the inside of the card, I used yet another of the Simply Beautiful Dies to die cut this flower from the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP. Before attaching it in place I stamped this decorative design using a stamp from Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. I adhered the flower then stamped the sentiment – again in Calypso Coral ink – then adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful Suite card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front is this leaf, stamped in Old Olive ink using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set. While this is very springy in color, I’m using this as a birthday card for my friends birthday in December – something non traditional ‘Decemberish’ 😀 For information on how to get the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, see below.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 4, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday – Dec 4 – and the super fun blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today that is just perfect to show off a new January-April 2026 Mini Catalog product – some of the Cute As A Bug Suite. Just super, super cute! Thanks for joining me today.

This super cute ‘bug’ is a die cut (from Sweet Bugs Dies) using the Designer Series Paper called Cute As A Bug 12×12. It may be found in the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 42-44. I added a Basic White backing for strength. The sentiment comes from the Sweet Bug stamp set. and the DSP these sit on is more of the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. It was added to a Mossy Meadow panel just slightly larger. The embossing folder is also brand new – it’s called Lovely Stripes and is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE coming in January. It was dry embossed on Crushed Curry card stock and added to as Crushed Curry card base.The embellishments I used are Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow.

For the inside of the card I die cut another cute ‘fellow’ from the Cute As A Bug DSP and adhered it to a Basic White panel. I also stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Bug stamp set in Mossdy Meadow ink. This panel is attached to Mossy Meadow & both added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card & envelope front

A super cute stamp of these ants mar ching along… from the Sweet Bug stamp set. I stamped in Pecan Pie ink – should have usede Memento Black ink. I colored with Stampin’ Blends Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight & Real Red.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs Card & envelope back

For the envelope back I attached more of the same design from the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. Tuesday, the day I made this card ,was a dismal, dreary day outside – rained all day – 2 1/2″ plus – and making this card made me smile. Hope it makes you smile too. If you do not have a copy of the new January to April 2026 Mini Catalog, please reach out to me – I can fix that!

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines & Snowflakes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 27, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning sweet friends – HAPPY THANKSGIVING! My prayer for you is that you are able to be thankful & grateful for your life and those in your life. Life is short – love fully & completely. Our life changes when we support one another & give back. Special blessings!

It’s hop time in the Inkin’ Krew world… and our theme is winter/ snow I had all kinds of ideas going through my head and ended with doing something quite traditional.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines & Snowflakes

The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Elegant Pines DSP covering the front of the card base. I then pulled out Lost Lagoon card stock & removed any particles with my embossing buddy and proceeded to stamp several snowflake images in VersaMark ink. I sprinkled these with WOW! White Embossing Powder & heat set it with my heat tool. I let that cool and stamped the pine needles in Lost Lagoon ink. I roughed the edges of the Lost Lagoon with my scissors and bent & curled some edges & attached it to the card front with dimensionals. I also stamped a Basic White strip with a sentiment from Delicate Pines in Lost Lagoon ink & snowflake & pine needles in Lost Lagoon and Old Olive inks. I added this fun Bordered Ribbon to the b ack of the sentiment strip & attached it to the Lost Lagoon front with dimesnionals. As a final touch I added these embellishments to the centers of several snowflakes.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines inside of card

For the inside… I fussy cut this snowflake from the Elegant Pines DSP and adhered it with liquid glue to a Basic White panel then stamped the sentiment from Delicate Pines stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines & snowflakes card & envelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful pine branch in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with WOW! White embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool. When dry I used my Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend to color the area over the snowflake for an emboss resist look. :O) I buffed it gently to remove ink from the embossing.
