Stampin’ Up! Double Pop-Up in Earthen Elegance

Posted on July 30, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning! Wow – it’s a beautiful c-o-o-l 65 this morning! I’ll take it. My card today is a very fun Pop-Up card that’s really pretty easy & quick. It’s a birthday card for a gentleman and I used He’s All That stamp set for the sentiments and Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up! Double Pop-Up in Earthen Elegance

This is a bit like a Z-fold card: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 card base scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. You can see in the photo how to fold it. I used the Earthen Elegance DSP for the mat layer as well as the top layer. It saves on the weight of the card.

Stampin' Up! Double Pop-Up card in progress

The photo at left shows the mat layers in place: the front and the inside sections. The next step is the inside pop-up 4 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1/2, 1, 2, & 2 1/2. Burnish gently since this is DSP, then add tear n’ tape to sections 1, 3, & 4. Remove cover on Tear n’ Tape in section 1 & fold i8n to itself to create the pop-up. Remove Tear n Tape covers in section 3 and attach to inside back panel of card. Remove cover of last strip of Tear n Tape and adhere to 2nd panel of card.

This last photo shows the insert (pop-up) looking from the top and how it fits in the card. Now it’s time to decorate the pop-up. I die cut a Basic White piece with the Deckled Rectangle Dies then stamped the image from He’s The Man stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink, adhered it to the pop-up so it had an even border on three sides. I added four 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path under the stamped image.

To create the front image, I used a smaller Deckled Rectangle Die to die cut another Basic White piece to stamp another image from He’s All That stamp set in Pebbled Path ink. I layered a slightly larger piece of Earthen Elegance in Pretty Peacock to this to carry out the ‘frame’. I turned this piece over to know exactly where to add the tear n tape to adhere it to the front section (see photo). Then I removed the cover of the tear n tape & added to the front so you could see a continuous frame of color.

When the card is closed it shows the front panel and the poop-up panel framing it. That’s what I wanted to do. The next photo shows the card open.

You can see that I also added four Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio in Pretty Peacock under the sentiment. For the envelope.. more of the Earthen Elegance DSP in Pretty Peacock on the flap and several stamped stars from Alphabest stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. At the last minute I decided to decorate the card back so I would have a place to write. I stamped the Happy in Pretty Peacock ink using the Biggest Wish stamp set. The numbers were done with the Alphabest stamp set and punched with the Best Label Punch. And now the card was complete!

Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Posted on July 29, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Computers. Ugh. Mine was out of commission all day yesterday. Praying today will be a better day all around :O)

My card today is another scene using the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. But it is super simple, no real embellishments.

This particular DSP is suited for either a Mossy Meadow background or Crumb Cake, or even Early Espresso. I wanted a light color and stuck with Crumb Cake for the card base and adhered the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP directly to it. It is such a serene scene. From Basic White and the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut two ‘mounds’ of snow and adhered those near the bottom. I stamped the horse & sleigh image in Memento ink and colored it with several Stampin’ Blends: Lost Lagoon, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Smoky Slate and SU 100 for the skin tone. Then I die cut the piece with the Horse & Sleigh Dies and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I die cut the sleigh rungs from Silver Foil Specialty Paper and adhered those with dots of liquid glue.

For the inside, I took a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, stamped Boho Blue snowflakes with the appropriate stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set and adhered this to the inside of the card. I took a piece of Basic White and die cut it with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set and added that to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh card & envelope

For the envelope: another piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the fun snowflake stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set + Boho ink, then adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit.

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

Posted on July 27, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our very fun and talented hop! We have a color challenge today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up!Happy Inkin' Thursday Hop Color Challenge

The Inked Botanicals 6×6 DSP is one of my favorite packs of papers. I guess it’s the clear colors.. And I like the designs too. :O) My card base is Calypso Coral 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. After scoring, I placed the piece in my paper trimmer with the short side up and cut @ 2 1/8″ to the score line. Then turning the paper longwise, I cut along the upper score line and removed the front top half. I cut two coordinating pieces of the DSP (2 x 5 3/8), adding them to the card base: one on the lower front and one on the upper inside. I stamped the leaf image from Inked and Tiled stamp set that coordinates with this Designer Series Paper, in Lost Lagoon ink on a Very Vanilla piece. Using the largest square of the Stylish Shapes Dies, I cut the piece. I cut a slightly larger square with my paper trimmer from Calypso Coral and adhered the two together. I attached this square to the lower card front panel, centering it and using dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment, also from the Inked & Tiled stamp set, on a scrap of Very Vanilla in Calypso Coral ink and die cut it with another of the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered it with liquid glue. I adhered three gems from Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party.

For the inside of the card, I cut a panel of Very Vanilla 2 x 5 3/8 and stamped it with the pretty single flower from Inked & Tiled stamp set in Crushed Curry ink. I adhered this to the lower inside of the card. This simple flower leaves plenty of room for me to write my message.

For the envelope, more of the Inked Botanicals DSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! And Paper Pumpkin

Posted on July 26, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

WooHoo – this is a favorite of the more recent monthly Paper Pumpkin kits :O) It’s called Fun In the Sun for the July kit. It’s a side step card and very summery and fun. The three versions look like this:

Aren’t these fun? Notice thew left portion is taller than the rest and there is a slit, cut, division for the folds on the right. Let me show you side views so you get the idea of a side step card.

By looking at the side view, it is clear of the various ‘steps’ or folds that can be decorated. Here, on each ‘step’, the images are adhered. The very back ‘step’ could have been kept loose and used as am bookmark or tag. I decided not to do that and prepared no alternatives. I thought these really cute. And the envelopes were colorful as well…

Stampin' Up! July '23 PP card & envelope

Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window

Posted on July 22, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning. I’ve gotten a bit hooked on using One Horse Open Sleigh DSP in my cards of late – it’s beautiful, it’s scenic, and it just works! In my Thursday class we made this card and I just had to share. It’s soft and very pretty and just so easy.

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window

From the top, the bay window card looks like this… but it folds flat for mailing.

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window card from the top

I used Pool Party for the card base 4 1/4 x 11 and scored 1/4, 1 1/2, 3 1/4, 4 1/2 & 5 1/2. Fold the card in half and adhere the the 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 area together on the inside – so it looks like a book fold card. In the photo just above, it’s clear where the card is adhered together. Burnish the score lines well. Now it’s time to decorate with mats and DSP.

Mats 7/8 x 4 1/8 (2, end panels); 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 (2), 1 5/8 x 4 1/8 (center panel)
DSP cuts: I began by cutting my DSP 3 1/2 x 4 so that I had the scene I wanted, then cut the sections: 5/8, 1, 1 1/2, 1 & 7/8.
Adhere DSP panels to the mat sections
Adhere these to the card front keeping the scene intact. DO NOT ADHERE THE LAST FAR RIGHT PANEL JUST YET.
The far right panel needs to be on dimensionals and the card front 1/4″ section slips under this to make the bay window
Look again at the photo of the bay window from the top & on the right the dimensionals are seen. I used two Foam Adhesive strips to adhere to the final decorated panel as this creates a straight line for the 1/4″ edge of the card front to slip under.

Now for the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Bay Window card inside panel

The mat is cut 3 3/8 x 4 1/8. The Basic White is cut 3 1/2 x 4. I stamped the sentiment from Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Pool Party ink. The small rabbit comes from this same Horse & Sleigh stamp set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink stamped off. I used a remaining strip of the DSP to adhere to the far right side of this Basic White piece then adhered both to the inside of the card. And voila!

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window card & evelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful unadorned tree in stamped off Early Espresso ink. It comes from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set. For the flap, a piece of Subtles DSP cut to 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit.

This stamps & Die set comes from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products in the Stampin’ Up! store. Shop with me here to see these ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin’ Up! Z Fold with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Posted on July 21, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! Is it TGIF for you? Do you have BIG plans or a relaxing time in store for you? Whatever you do, may you be energized. I have an easy Z-Fold card for you today. And yep, using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP with the Horse & Sleigh bundle.

Stampin' Up! Z fold Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Cut & score the Basic White card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. Burnish in an accordian fold (mountain, valley) as shown. The mat panels are Early Espresso: 2 x 5 3/8 (cut 2) and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and adhered with liquid glue. The Designer Series Paper is One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 size and uses two sheets to create a flowing scene. They are cut 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 2) and from the second sheet cut 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere these to the Early espresso panels creating the flowing scene. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I die cut three trees from Shimmer paper and adhered them with dots of glue. I could have stopped there, but… cut a Basic white strip 1 x 6 and score at 3″ & 5″. Cut another strip of DSP 3/4 x 6 and score it at 3″ & 5″. Adhere these two together matching the scoring places. On a 5/8 x 3 Shimmer paper strip stamp the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight. Add it to the existing 1 x 6 piece. Add this strip to the left card front (HINT: 3″ mountain fold should be at right edge of DSP panel on the largest panel). Once this glue has dried, close card and with the 1″ end folded in a valley fold, adhere to the right side of the card.. Add embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes and a Metallic Pearls in silver.

Stampin' Up! Z Fold Horse & Sleigh, back of card

On the back of the card, I took another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 sheets and cut it to 4 x 5 1/4. I stamped this sentiment using the Brightest Glow stamp set – and in Misty Moonlight ink.

Stampin' Up! Z fold Horse & Sleigh card & envelope

For the envelope… yet another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 pieces of DSP cut to 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered to the flap, trimmed to fit. Done.

This suite of products is from the Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and includes the Horse & Sleigh stamp set & Dies, the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP packet and the Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes. I’m having such fun with these :O)

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a sketch challenge for our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Hop, Sending Smiles

I began with a Very Vanilla panel run through the Basics 3D Embossing Folder (Cross Hatch) from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and added it directly to a Very Vanilla card base. I cut a piece of the Earthen Elegance DSP and added it to a Copper Clay panel, put dimensionals on the back and attached as shown. Using the Sending Smiles Dies, I die cut the sentiment in two parts: Very Vanilla for the background and Copper Clay for the word itself and added these together with liquid glue. I added a strip of the Satin-Edged Ribbon in gold to the DSP then added the sentiment over the top of it with dimensionals. For added glam I attached the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold and the card front was complete.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower head in Lemon Lolly ink, the leaves in Granny Apple Green and the floral center in Copper Clay – all part of the Sending Smiles stamp set.. The sentiment is also from Sending Smiles stamp set and is stamped in Copper Clay ink as well. This was all done on a Very Vanilla panel, added to a Copper Clay piece just slightly larger, then into the inside of the card. DONE!

Stampin’ Up! Center Step Fold Card with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Posted on July 17, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning. I’ve been playing with an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product, part of the One Horse Open Sleigh suite. I wanted to create another ‘scene’ kind of card and had not done this Center Step fun fold in a while – and thought, why not?

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, Center Step fold

The card base is Boho Blue, mats are Misty Moonlight. The DSP layers are from the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP pack, and I used a couple of different ones which you’ll see as you look at photos. The very fun snowflakes are from this suite of products and they are Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment in copper, gold and white. I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center of each snowflake. The ribbon is Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon. It’s best to add the layers to the card base prior to adding the center step fold.

I began by cutting my DSP center step panel as the focus of the card, adhered it to the mat for that panel and the mat to the center step. (HINT: I cut my DSP piece at 4″ , cut the focus panel out and used each remaining side piece for the side panels, trimmed to proper size.)

Center step base:
- Boho Blue, 3 x 6 and scored at 4 1/4 on the long side
Center step mat:
- Misty Moonlight 2 7/8 x 4 1/8
Center step DSP:
- 2 3/4 x 4

Create the card base: Boho Blue 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score @ 3, 6, and 7. Burnish with 3″ score line as a mountain fold, the 6″ score as a valley fold and the 7″ score another mountain.

Stampin' Up! Center step fold card, side view

Attach side panels on middle section allowing for narrow edge (1/16″):

Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 1 1/8 (Cut 2)
DSP 2 3/4 x 1 (Cut 2, using the remaining pieces from the initial removal of the focal panel; one from each side piece so the flow of the design carries to both sides. :O)

Add inside pieces. This is where you write your message :O)

Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 5 3/8
Basic White 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (I added a strip of the DSP 5/8 x 2 7/8 and a copper Adhesive-Backed Snowflake & Rhinestone Basic Jewel)

Add center step fold (the 6 x 3 scored piece) to the very bottom of the card front, but do not attach the back of this panel just yet. Add bottom side panels to either side.

Misty Moonlight mat 1 1/8 x 1 3/8 (cut 2)
DSP 1 x 1 1/4
Wrap with ribbon (Night of navy 3/8 Border Ribbon) and adhere in back with glue dot.
Slip another length under the front piece and tie a knot; adhere at knot with glue dot; trim ends

Close card with center step fold folded over and laying on back of card. Add glue to adhere to card back. (I added liquid glue at the edge of the fold of the card back and at the end of the center step fold back.)

Add Misty Moonlight mat 2 7/8 x 5 3/8
Add DSP 2 3/4 x 5 1/4

Stampin' Up! Center Step Fold card & envelope with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

For the envelope, I added more of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to the flap, trimmed to fit and that was it, no extra pattern or stamp on the envelope front.
