Stampin’ Up! Shining Christmas SDSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Upo! Happy Inkin' Thurs, Hop Sketch

Stampi9n' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Shining C'mas SDSP + Joy Of Noel

This is such a bright, cheery card, full of color and texture. The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Basic White run through the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder. This is such a great embossing folder and is perfect for those wintry scenes. It can be found in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. The banners to the left are strips from the Shining Christmas Specialty DSP and can be found in ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. The stamped panel is from the Joy of Noel stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White piece, then colored with Stampin’
Blends: Dark Cherry Cobbler, Dark Lemon Lime Twist, Light Old Olive and Light Mossy Meadow. This was die cut with the coordinating Joy of Noel Dies. This was added to the card front with dimensionals. A Real Red bow was attached with a glue dot. The ribbon comes from Real Red & Garden Green Combo Pack. I stamped this sentiment from the Joy of Noel stamp set on a Basic White scrap in Cherry Cobbler ink, trimmed it with my paper snips and attached it with dimensionals. As a final touch on the front, I used Shining Crystal Effects on each berry. It gives it extra shine and sparkle. This needs to ‘set’ for a bit until it is no longer tacky or soft – a couple of hours.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel Thurs. blog hop 10/12

For the inside… a panel of Cherry Cobbler card stock was adhered to the card base. I stamped the berry image three times in Mossy Meadow ink from Joy of Noel stamp set on a Basic White panel. I colored the berries with Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends, then adhered the panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel Thur Blog Hop, envelope

For the envelope, I did the same stamping in Mossy Meadow ink using the berry stamp from Joy of Noel stamp set and colored the berries with Stampin’ Blends in Cherry Cobbler. I also added the same Mossy Meadow package image on the card front in Shining Christmas SDSP to the envelope flap & trimmed it to fit. Done! Bright & cheery, this will be a fun card to send to someone special.

OK, on with the hop… click on a name or the ‘next’ image below. Enjoy all the wonderful creativity!

Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagons & Let’s Go Fishing DSP

Posted on October 10, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! This is one more of the cards made for Oct 7 World Card Making Day. It’s actually the first card I made with this new bundle. I have explained, Heartfelt Hexagons bundle is one that will be offered in the January to April 2024 Mini Catalog. Can you believe we are talking 2024??? I simply do NOT know what happened to 2023!

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons bundle & let's Go Fishing DSP

Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy and Soft Sea Foam just really compliment one another. Put all of these colors on Basic White and they pop. The card base is Misty Moonlight 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. I took a panel of Basic White and ran it through the Basics 3D embossing folder called Crosshatch. The Basics 3D embossing folders come as a set of 3 and this is one of my favorites. On a Basic White panel I stamped the outline for the sentiment in Misty Moonlight using a stamp from Heartfelt Hexagons. I then stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink, also from this same stamp set, and punched this with the Heartfelt Hexagons Punch. I put dimensionals on it and set it aside. I punched two more hexagons, this time from coordinating papers in Let’s Go Fishing DSP. I laid each of these on the embossed panel and decided there was too much white space… so pulled out the Layering Leaves bundle & Soft Sea Foam ink. There are a couple of different leaf stamps in this stamp set, but I decided to go with this one and stamped a couple of them, then punched them out with the coordinating Bough Punch. I pulled out the Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon and wrapped it around the embossed and Night of Navy layers, adhering in back with Stampin’ Seal. I put dimensionals on this and adhered it to the card base. I attached the sentiment panel (remember it’s on dimensionals), then a bit of Stampin’ Seal on the back of the middle panel and attached the punched leaves, put dimensionals on it and added it to the card front. The top panel was added with liquid glue and trimmed. As a final touch, I added several 2023-2025 In Color Dots.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons & Let's Go Fishing DSP

For the inside… I added the remaining portion of the hexagon from the card front, to the Basic White panel, stamped the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Night of Navy ink and added this to a Night of Navy piece then to the inside of the card. I added two more of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots on either side of the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons & Let's Go Fishing DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… I used another piece of the Let’s Go Fishing DSP to cover the flap & trimmed it to fit – and that was it. I’ll add the measurements at the bottom of this post. Each card I made with this new Heartflet Hexagon bundle was very different from the other – and I like being able to do that. It makes a set so versatile. If you have questions, please reach out to me. You may view the other cards made with this bundle here and here.

Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagons Feminine Card

Posted on October 8, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! A special thanks to Amy Koenders and Mary Deatherage for pulling together all the particulars for us to have an Inkin’ Krew World Card Making Day Event! Congratulations ladies – job well done! And thank you Rosie Kean, for being so good at posting links to blogs and answering questions. You are an amazing ‘behind the scenes’ woman! I hope each of crafters had fun as well – attending the card making videos AND participating in all the fun questions that were asked. One of the questions was: What’s your best organizing tip? For me, the answer is put everything back when completing a project. It makes life so much easier (for me). But there were lots of good tips shared, so look at those if you haven’t already.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Feminine Card

My card for today is the one I made in the video yesterday (watch the video by clicking on the underlined word, video)- with a Moody Mauve card base and an additional embossed panel using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. This is a favorite as it can be used on both masculine and feminine cards. I cut a piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP then added a Basic White scalloped strip to the edge. That scallop die comes from the Zany Zoo Dies. I adhered that to the right edge of the DSP. I wrapped a Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon around about a third of the distance from the top and secured it in back. I put dimensionals on the Fresh As a Daisy DSP and added it to the card front about 3/8″ from the fold. I pulled out the brand new Heartfelt Hexagons stamp set (available now to demonstrators or in January to customers in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.) There are border stamps for the hexagon: one is dots, the other has additional lines. Because the DSP is busy, I chose the simpler dot border stamp and Copper Clay ink to stamp on Basic White card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the same Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Moody Mauve ink, then punched this out with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I put dimensionals in the corners of the hexagon to avoid the ribbon and attached it to the card front. I made a bow with the Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon and attached it with a glue dot to the left of the hexagon sentiment. As a final touch, I added three Tinsel Gems in Berry Burst from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Feminine Card inside

For the inside, remember that scallop die cut for the card front? I saved the cut off edge and adhered it to the top of the Basic White panel for the inside of the card. I pulled out a Blending Brush and Bubble Bath ink highlight that die cut, give depth to the piece and a bit of femininity. I stamped the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Bubble Bath ink, and added this panel to the inside of the card. I will be sending this to a special friend just experiencing a family loss.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon Feminine Sympathe card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Fresh As A Daisy DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit and this very delicate, wonderful flower from the Heartfelt Hexagons stamp set stamped in Bubble Bath ink on the envelope front.

This is such a versatile bundle, Heartfelt Hexagons. I’m enjoying the opportunity to play :O) If you would like to purchase this set now, it would be a perfect opportunity to join my team as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. No pressure, but … Stampin’ Up! is offering an amazing deal as they are celebrating 35 years in business.

Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt Hexagons for World Card Making Day

Posted on October 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! This is another exciting day in the Stampin’ Up! world – World Card Making Day! There will be presentations this afternoon from 2-5 MT provided by Stampin’ Up! and presentations by some of our own Inkin’ Krew beginning at 9 AM ET. Please note those time differences – Mountain Time and Eastern Time! One of the cards I will be sharing today highlights a new bundle that is an ‘early release’ for demonstrators called Heartfelt Hexagons. This bundle will be in the Jan-April 2024 catalog! What? 2024? Yep – Stampin’ Up! plans ahead :O)

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons for WCMD '23

This is a very masculine card, but the layout is fabulous. If you connect with me today on our Inkin’ Krew Facebook, you’ll see this layout used to make a similar but very feminine card.

I used Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper as a focal pattern. I wrapped the Textured Ribbon around it (in Copper Clay), securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. This was layered on Copper Clay card stock with dimensionals. On another piece of Earthen Elegance DSP I stamped the outline image of the hexagon in Early Espresso ink and the two insert areas with Pecan Pie ink – both using stamps from Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set. I used my embossing buddy to remove any static from the piece then inked the sentiment in VersaMark, sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it, then punched it with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. On the back of this hexagon, I put dimensionals in each of the corners and attached it over the ribbon. Two additions to complete the card front: with another length of the Textured Ribbon, I slipped it under the other ribbon in nplace and moved it close to the attached hexagon and tied a single knot, securing it in place with a glue dot; I also added Brushed metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots in Copper to give a bit of sparkle. And the card front was done!

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon WCMD, inside

For the inside… I took a Very Vanilla panel and stamped each of the corners with this delicate filigree stamp from Heartfelt Hexagons stamp set in Early Espresso ink. Using Layering Leaves stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink. I adhered the panel in place, centering it and the card was done. Easy peasy. And a great masculine card.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons for WCMD, card & envelope

For the envelope, I used another portion of the Earthen Elegance DSP to cover the flap and trimmed it to fit. I punched another hexagon from the same Earthen Elegance DSP with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and adhered one half of it to the left on the front, and removed the extra piece with paper snips. I definitely adds to the masculine look; not sure if I like it though. Maybe that should have been from another piece of the DSP so it wasn’t so dark. This is being sent to a friend of ours who recently lost his wife. I think he will appreciate it.

OK – so a couple of things… World Card Making Day – today

Stampin’ Up! Them Bones for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 5, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Thursday and welcome to another fabulous Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have some super fun creations for you today with the theme of Halloween/ Pumpkins.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Them Bones DSP for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 10/5

Them Bones Designer Series Paper is just FULL of fun patterns. I took two of them and cut them apart to create my card today and used another to cover the card front. The card base is Basic Black A2 size. I covered the card front in the black bats, although it’s hard to tell. On that I layered a panel of Smoky Slate that had been run through the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. I cut the tombstone with the cat and grass using my paper snips. I laid it on the embossed panel to see where I wanted the moon, then removed the tombstone and with a 2″ cut out circle, I used a Blending Brush and Whisper White ink to blend in a moon, then adhered the tombstone in place. Using those same paper snips I cut a skeleton and another tombstone. I adhered the lower half of the skeleton with glue and the upper portion with dimensionals, for depth. I adhered the remaining tombstone in place with dimensionals. With a scrap of the DSP that was blackish, I stamped the BOO! using VersaMark ink and the Cottage Wreaths stamp set, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it. In trimmed it down and adhered it with dimensionals as well.

For the inside, I took another piece of the black bat paper from the Them Bones DSP and adhered it inside the card. I stamped the twig wreath from Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Crumb Cake ink, then the spider in Memento ink, then used the Basic Black Marker to indicate the spider sliding down creating a ‘string’. And the card was complete! My grandkids are going to love this!

For the Basic White envelope, I used the same black bat paper for the flap and for the bottom of the front – makes it look spooky!

Stampin’ Up! More Beary Christmas Memories & More

Good Tuesday morning. Ok, true confessions. I cannot believe it is already October 3! Time seems to be slipping through my fingers. Aargh! But here we are… Before I share my cards with you today, Do you know what today is for Stampin’ Up! Today is the beginning of a special for new demonstrators.

Now… let me share more of the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack that I put together.

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More card pack.3

You may have learned that I tend to make different cards and not all the same design. Yep, that’s part of my DNA, don’t duplicate. While the far left card and the far right card are similar, still, they are not the same.

Card 1, far left, uses a red card base in the card pack. Adhered directly to the card base is one of the larger panels from the pack of the very cute bears – or should I say Beary Cute :O) I used a piece of Vellum Basic DSP (polka dots) and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight strip cut the entire width. I added stickers from the Beary Christmas Memories and More card pack to the strip and three Irridescent Pastel Gems in Balmy Blue.

Card 2, middle, also uses a red card base from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. I used my paper snips to trim down one of the card images and added it directly to the card base. I then cut a banner with the Nested Essentials Dies from Balmy Blue card stock. With my paper snips I again trimmed one of the smaller cards to use the sentiment banner. I adhered the sentiment banner to the Balmy Blue one, put dimensionals on and attached it to the card. I added three Festive Pearls in Red.

Card 3, far right, is the simplest yet: Balmy Blue card base from the Beary Christmas Mem’ries & More Cards & Envelopes; a Basic White panel then the bear image all adhered one on the other. I trimmed down this sentiment banner from one of the cards in the pack and attached it directly to the card. As a final touch I added an Irridescent Pastel Gem to each end of the sentiment. And done! Three more cards for my Christmas card list :O) This is such a great card pack and of course, I used the coordinating Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for the card pack. So convenient!!!

Stampin’ Up! Beary Christmas Memories and More Card Pack

Posted on October 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Sometime ago I received a gift from my upline of this very fun Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. It has been sitting on my desk just waiting for me to play. I have three to share today. Before I share, look at pages 22 & 23 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and see all the items that come in the pack. These are larger in size: 4 1/4 x 6 1/2, so just be aware of that.

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More cards.1

Card 1, far left, uses the card base from the card pack, a layer of Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP, a window sheet (to make the shaker card) and these tiny trees die cut using the Tiny Trees Die found on page 13 in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, a sticker from the card pack (Merry Christmas) and a twine (2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack found in the 2023 Annual Catalog.) I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in White and gave a dot on each of the green trees. It really does make the card sparkle! These little tiny trees are left over from another project some time ago :O)

Stampin'n Up! Beary C'mas mem'ries & More card pack.4

Card 2, middle, uses the Card base from the card pack, another panel of the Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP and two ‘cards’ layered together and on dimensionals. I also used Pearlized Enamel Effects in white on the trees.

Stampin' Up! Pearlized Enamel Effects in white

It is important when using the Pearlized Enamel Effects to LET IT DRY completely. I usually add it at the end of creating a card and set it aside while I work on another project.

Card 3, far right, is another shaker card but without the shakers :O) That’s another story!!! Here I wrapped the gorgeous Silver & White 1/2″ Ribbon (from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog) around the ‘shaker’ and tied it with Woven Metallic Ribbon in Parakeet Party from the 2023 Annual Catalog. I adhered the ‘shaker’ portion directly to the decorated card base – decorated with Beary C’mas 12×12 DSP.

This is such a cute card pack and I’ve had such fun putting it together. More cards will be shared another time.

Who: Everyone, including new customers!
