About TL's Bright Spot

I love to be creative - in the garden, crafting, and in leadership roles. There is something wonderful that happens when we design something new and share it with others. It's fun and makes everyone happy.

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP with Frame

It’s Christmas Eve morning and excitement is in the air! Before I get too far into my post and the card of the day, let me say thank you to those who follow my blog, post comments, purchase from me, are on my team – all that. Stampin’ Up! has afforded me the opportunity to share my creativity in a whole new way and I so appreciate all of you for sharing in my journey. So, thank you.

Family arrives later today for several days and I will be taking a bit of a break while they are here. I want my focus to be on them and not running to my computer to check for messages concerning this paper crafting business. Yes, each of you is important but family is a priority while they are here – thank you for understanding.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows Bundle

I had this Meandering Meadows DSP on my desk still and couldn’t help but continue playing with it. This time I added this wonderful ‘frame’ that is part of the Garden Meadows Dies. It is die cut from Very Vanilla card stock and added to the DSP with dimensionals. The DSP is adhered to Melon Mambo card stock just slightly larger and that is attached to a Blueberry Bushel card base with dimensionals. I added three Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies buzzing around the flowers for a bit of ‘meadow feeling’.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink on a Very Vanilla panel, then the flowers at the bottom in Garden Green ink. This is a precious stamp! The Very Vanilla panel is added to another Melon Mambo piece just slightly larger then into the inside of the card base – and done!

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows card & envelope

On the envelope I adhered the remaining piece of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 piece, just turned it to the other side. Then stamped that same sweet flower bunch in Garden Green ink on the front.

This set can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES of the Stampin’ Up! store – which you may find right here: Garden Meadows stamp set & dies, Meandering Meadows DSP AND the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds elements. The card stock, envelopes and inks are all part of the Annual catalog which may be found here.

Coming soon is the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog and with that, it means some products from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog will be retiring.

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP Simple Card

Good morning! Today’s card is super simple – intentionally. I’m interested in making several of these to use as a quick notice of thinking of you, or concern, or birthday, or just a note, whether it be of appreciation or thanks or hello friend. I love the color contrasts in this DSP and for the simple layers. Behold… Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP, hello

Blueberry Bushel is one of the coordinating colors for this DSP and I used it for my card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I trimmed the Meandering Meadows DSP to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and adhered it to Petal Pink just slightly larger. These two panels were added to the card base with dimensionals. As a final touch, three birds were added from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds. They show beautifully because they are brass!

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP hello, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink onto a Basic White panel, and it comes from the Garden Meadow stamp set, then added a strip of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the bottom (a continuation of the pattern from the card front). This was added to another panel of Petal Pink just slightly larger, then into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP card & envelope

The envelope flap got more of the same panel of Meandering Meadow DSP, just the other side of that 6×6 piece to create the card front! On the front of the envelope, I stamped the floral image in Basic Gray ink as it simulates the flowers in the scene on the card front. :O) Stampin’ Up! is really clever in the way they pair the DSP with stamp bundles – and actually, these are all a part of a suite of products in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. You may find that link here.

Stampin’ Up! Bee Mine Valentine for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

IT’S THURSDAY – time for another HAPPY INKIN’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and you can see that below. I’ve taken some liberties with the sketch :O).

Stampin' Up!  Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Thursday hop 12/21

I began with Pool Party card stock for my card base, then ran a slightly smaller piece through the Basics 3D embossing folder. This is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE set of three embossing folders and I use them a LOT! I then cut a piece of Basic Black card stock and the super fun Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP at an angle: 3/4″ down on right side and 2 1/2″ down on left side for the top panel. The bottom panel is 1″ up from the bottom on the left side and 3″ up from bottom on the right side. These were adhered directly to the 3 1/2 x 4 3/8 Basic Black piece, leaving the apace in between. I attached this with dimensionals to the card front.

I stamped the bee from Bee My Valentine stamp set in Memento ink of scraps of Basic White: Memento ink, Crushed Curry for the body, Petal Pink stamped off once was added to the wings. These were punched out with the Bee Builder Punch and attached together as needed with glue dots. I put dimensionals on the back of the bee and placed it on the card front. As an afterthought, I added Wink of Stella to all the yellow portions of the bee. I added these adorable flowers from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine. bee with Wink of Stella

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Bee My Valentine in Memento ink, then pulled out the ‘buzzing line’ of the bee & Pool Party ink and stamped above it. The Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine, card inside

For the envelope, more of the ultra cute paper from Be Mine 12 x 12 DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. More stamping of the ‘buzzing line’ in Pool Party ink across the bottom front of the envelope.

Stampin’ Up! December Paper Pumpkin is a WOW!

Good morning! My December Paper Pumpkin arrived yesterday and with no outside obligations last night I set right to work to put it together. The cards are gorgeous… and spring-like. There’s even a clear box for them so they can be given as a gift :O)

Stampin' Up! December PP, card 1

Here’s the first card & envelope.

Stampin' Up! December PP, card 2

Here’s card 2 with envelope.

Stampin' Up! December PP, card 3

Card 3 & envelope.

Stampin' Up! December PP envelope front
Stampin' Up! December PP boxed set

These last two photos show the envelope front and the acetate box with all nine cards inside. Notice there is a wrap around (belly band) piece with a single flower attached. Stampin’ Up! really went all out with this months kit. I love everything about them – and they took such a short time putting them together. I felt no need to come up with alternatives either – these are so pretty. At least for me – they fit the bill perfectly!

This kit is appropriately called All The Best and makes nine gorgeous cards. I’m hoping to pick up a refill or two when they become available. If you would like to start a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you can do that here. There are various types of subscriptions and you can find that info here.

The subscription period for the January kit began 11 December. We’re very excited to share with you a sneak peek at the upcoming kits and their unique features. Remember that with each kit comes a stamp set and an ink spot. It’s a great way to start a collection.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Reflection Stamp set

Good morning! ‘Tis Tuesday Dec 19… we decorated our Christmas tree last night. It has become tradition to have a couple of family members come for dinner & tree ornament placement on the tree. Hubby got up Sunday morning at 4 AM and put all the lights on – 6-7 strands worth. It is thick with lights :O) Anyway – that isn’t why you’re here. Let’s check out this new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog…

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection stamp set

I used Mossy Meadow as the card base, Basic White and Neutrals 6×6 DSP then stamped a Basic White panel for the top layer. The stamping used Gray Granite ink, which looks a bit soft brown & gray. It’s perfect for this ‘scene’ – it’s a woodsy shadow look that is quite peaceful. And it’s meant to be. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Reflection stamp set and it was stamped with Gray Granite ink, as I mentioned earlier. I adhered the Basic White strip to Gray Granite card stock, put dimensionals on that and attached it to the stamped panel. As a final step, I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots around the tree shadow.

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection, inside

For the inside of the card, the sentiment from Quiet Reflection is stamped in Gray Granite ink on the Basic White panel. I added a strip of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow to the bottom – and that was it. Love this font!!!

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it – kept very simple.

This stamp set may be found on page 63 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in receiving a catalog, please connect with me.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Bundle with Merry Bold & Bright DSP

Good Monday – ’tis already Dec 18! How are you doing with shopping? I’m nearly there but not quite :O) today’s the day to finish though. I had this Merry Bold & Bright DSP on my table and decided to use it – in kind of a different way. Really I’m just playing around. And I pulled out the Garden Meadow stamp set bundle. This is a fun bundle found in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I love the rain boots stamp & coordinating die! And I wanted to use the ‘every day is a fresh start’ sentiment. To me it indicates we can wipe the slate clean and begin again, or… pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start anew. Anyway, here’s my card.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow bundle with Merry Bold & Bright DSP

I also pulled out the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle to create the sentiment banner. I stamped the hexagon outline with Melon Mambo ink on a Basic White scrap, punched it out with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the Garden Meadow stamp set. I stamped the boots in Memento ink as well, but on Merry Bold & Bright DSP, then die cut it with the appropriate die – both from the Garden Meadow bundle. Then I set about making the card base: Melon Mambo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I created layers with Flirty Flamingo and more Merry Bold & Bright DSP, trimming each on an angleI layered them together with liquid glue. I placed the boots on dimensionals and attached them. I stamped the sweet flowers in Memento ink using the sweet stamp in Garden Meadow stamp set. I colored the flowers with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. (I should have stamped this sweet stamp in Garden Green ink!) The two layers were attached to the card base with dimensionals, then the hexagon piece was attached also with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Bundle

For the inside… another layer of Flirty Flamingo was added to the card base. The Basic White panel was stamped first with the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink, then the basket of flowers in Memento ink. Both come from the Garden Meadow stamp set. I colored the flowers & leaves with Stampin’ Blends: Light Poppy Parade, Light Daffodil Delight, Dark Flirty Flamingo and both Dark & Light Lemon Lime Twist.

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadow Bundle with Merry Bold & Brisght DSP card & envelope.

For the envelope… more of the Merry Bold & Bright DSP on the flap and the same precious basked from the Garden Meadow stamp set stamped on the front in Memento ink – same coloring as the inside basket :O). This card is being sent to a friend who is undergoing chemo treatments and needs a ‘pick-me-up’. I’m hoping this card will help.

The Merry Bold & Bright DSP is in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and is being discontinued. You will find it on the LAST CHANCE PRODUCT list. Speaking of which…

Stampin’ Up! Class Gnomes

Good morning Friday! We are headed out to pick up our live-cut tree this morning. It’s a tradition – no artificial tree for us. :O) We had card class yesterday – but in lieu of cards or boxes or a paper item, we made mop-head gnomes. – and a reindeer from clothes pins. Both turned out so cute.

Stampin' Up! Class Gnomes & reindeer

Aren’t these fun? And it took about an hour to make the gnome and just a bit to make the reindeer. Great project for something different.

What to purchase to make the gnome:

  • 16 oz dry beans
  • sock
  • scarf
  • mop head
  • wooden pull for nose
  • Jingle bells & ribbon

How to make:

  • Keep beans in bag & insert into one sock.
  • Coat mop head with glue with glue gun
  • Roll down excess sock and insert mop head into opening
  • If so desired unroll some of the mop head ‘strings’ so beard is finer (we did)
  • Cut scarf in half, cut into v-shape, glue sides, turn inside out and place over mop head
    • Add jingle bell to length of ribbon and tie onto pointy end of hat
    • Can stuff hat with tissue to make it stand up – I did
  • Hot glue nose into place pushing it onto the sock ‘bean bag’
  • Done!

Thought you might enjoy a ‘side project’ today :O) Also – did you use the FREE SHIPPING option from SU! yesterday? I hope so – what a great DEAL… Here’s more of what’s going on in the Stampin’ Up! world.

Stampin’ Up! Off Set Gatefold Bee My Valentine for The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to pour fabulous Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a very colorful challenge for the hop today – love it! Hope you have a change to visit everyone.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Blog Hop  12/14
Stampin' Up! Color Challenge for the hop 12/14
Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Off-Set Gatefold

What do you think – does this Merry Bold & Bright DSP fit the challenge.? This is such a fun new stamp bundle in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog called Bee Mine Valentine. It comes as a suite of products with the Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon, the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers and a different DSP than what I used today. The Merry Bold & Bright DSP is found in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and is part of the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS available now. More about that later in this post. For now, let’s take a peek at this fun card. It’s an off-set gatefold. My card stock base for this card is Lemon Lime Twist cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 1 1/2 & 5 3/4. The next layer is Granny Apple Green on both panels of the card front and on the inside behind the sentiment panel, followed by Merry Bold & Bright DSP. I used the Scallop Contour Dies to die cut a Basic White panel to decorate. I used another scallop to die cut adifferent piece of the Merry Bold & Bright DSP to hold the sentiment. I attached it with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Bee Mine Valentine stamp set in Memento ink and adhered it with liquid glue to the die cut banner and added a single heart from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & fFlowers. I slipped the ribbon behind the sentiment banner and secured it with Stampin’ Up! Seal+. The fun bee… I stamped the stripes first in Memento ink, then stamped the oval in Crushed Curry over it. You can do it the other way – bee body first, then the stripes. I stamped the face in Memento ink, then punched out this out with the Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the bee antennae in Memento ink and punched it out, then the wings – twice, also in Memento ink and punched out. I stamped the wing ‘filler’ in Pool Party ink on Vellum, twice, and punched them out once dry and secured them to the wings with a single glue dot. I added one set of wings with liquid glue, then the other set of wings with a dimensional. I secured the antennae with a dab of liquid glue then adhered this sweet bee in place with dimensionals. I added the scalloped panel with dimensionals to the top half of the card only.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Valentine Off-Set Gatefold

For the inside… the honeycomb is stamped in Crushed Curry ink and the sentiment in Memento Black ink to the Basic White panel. Both come from the Bee Mine Valentine stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Valentine card & envelope

For the envelope… more of this stripe from Merry Bold & Bright DSP adhered to the flap and a single flower stamped in crushed Curry ink on the front. Of course it comes from Bee Mine Valentine stamp set :O)

Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Ornaments

Good Wednesday! Midweek – the panic sets in – what is on my list today, what do I need to do first, what, what, what?! Today I’m sharing some of the Stars At Night ornaments I’ve been making. No two are alike, but they are similarities. I pulled out some different colors of glimmer paper and card stock.

Stampin' Up! Stars At Night Dies for ornaments

There’s quite a variety here, isn’t there? Some surprises too, eh? Bottom row: on left Stargazing DSP for the circle, Basic White and Three Color Glimmer Paper in Highland Heather and a pearlized gem in the middle; bottom right is Oh Holy Night DSP, Basic White and Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper; next row up and left is Three Color Glimmer Paper in Petal Pink, Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and a pearlized gem, right is Oh Holy Night DSP, Basic White, Silver Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper and pearlized gem; third row up is Highland Heather card stock, Basic White, Three Color Glimmer Paper in Highland Heather and a pearlized gem, middle is Oh Holy Night DSP, Basic White, Three Color Glimmer Paper in Highland Heather, Basic White, Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and a Silver Pearl; top row is more of the Oh Holy Night DSP, Basic White and Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and a Pearl Basic Jewel in the center, top right is Basic White, Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and a silver pearl. I used various ribbons that coordinated well with each ornament – Night of Navy Glittered Ribbon, Silver & White Sheer Ribbon and Gold & Vanilla Satin Edged Ribbon. As I was making a bunch, I pulled out the retired Circles Dies for convenience.

The rings are 4″ macrame hoops that I ordered from Amazon. If you would like to make these, here is the link to a previous post where I gave instructions. Did you notice the use of the Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper? It’s FABULOUS and also comes in Gold and I use these two a lot! The Stars At Night Dies can be purchased separately from the stamp set and comes with a hybrid embossing folder. What a great set – and retiring! leads me right into LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS AND SU! Free Shipping on 12/14. Here are the deets on both – FREE SHIPPING first, then the other…

Stampin’ Up! Fluffiest Friends Part 2 for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Good Tuesday! We have an easy challenge for the hop today… “Celebrate” – and we can interpret that however we like. We have a couple of family birthdays this month so that’s what I’m using. And, while I used this same stamp set Sunday, I’m using a different animal today :O)

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew
Stampin' Up 4 Panel fun fold Fluffiest Friends

Look at that sweet bunny holding a cup cake – is that cute or what?! Using the Fluffiest Friends stamp set, I stamped it in Memento Black ink and colored a bit of the ears, nose and feet pads in Stampin’ Blends Dark Petal Pink. I die cut him with the coordinating Fluffiest Friends Dies. Since I had the dies out, I went ahead and die cut several leaves: in both Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party. I used the Nested Essentials Dies to cut the banner in Basic White. I added a layer of leaves to the banner with liquid glue, then the bunny on dimensionals and a few more leaves on dimensionals. The single heart is from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends, bunny

This is a 4 panel fun fold card and I used Petal Pink card stock for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 1 1/4 and 4 1/4. I added panels of DSP: Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP, also from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. The pieces are (2) 1 x 5 1/2 and (2) 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. The banner with the bunny was added with Stampin’ Seal to the folded back front panel.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends 4 panel fun fold

For the inside sentiment panel – Basic White piece – 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 – I pulled out another stamp set, Beautiful Balloons from the Annual Catalog. I stamped the Happy Birthday in Sweet Sorbet ink then the rounded sentiment in Petal Pink ink. The flowers at the bottom come from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set and are stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Dark Petal Pink, Light Sweet Sorbet, Light Lemon Lolly and Light Granny Apple Green. On top of a few of the flowers I added a flower from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers. I adhered a few more of the die cut leaves in Granny Apple Green and Parakeet Party, attached the panel to the inside and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Fluffiest Friends card & envelope, bunny

For the envelope, I added more of the Sweet Sorbet DSP from Bee Mine 12×12 DSP pack to the flap. I stamped the balloon in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. I used a Basic Black Marker to add a bow and some squiggly string. I think the person receiving this card is going to love it! It’s feminine, full of color and has a super cute bunny :O)

OK, time to move around the hop – be sure to check what everyone has created. You may click on the ‘previous’ button to visit Karen Finkle or click the ‘next’ button to visit Akiko, or… simply click on a name. Whatever you choose, don’t miss anyone :O) Enjoy the hop today.
