Stampin’ Up! Faith Collection card

Posted on February 22, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Our family is gathering for a celebratory weekend in a magical place called Mohonk Mountain House. There is a covering of snow that is just beautiful. And it is c-o-l-d. All kinds of activities are offered: ice skating and archery, hiking (guided or unguided), a pool & sauna. As I said, it’s magical.

My card for today is one I made for a minister friend of ours, age 94. He has made such a positive impact on others, a really good man. The card base is Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I added a layer embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder, 4 x 5 1/4 and set these aside.

On a Basic White panel I stamped the cross image with fronds in Garden Green ink using the Faith Collection stamp set. Then with the Faith Collection Dies and Country Woods 12×12 DSP, die cut the cross and adhered it to a plain cross then attached both with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Faith Collection stamp set in Highland heather ink and added two Tinsel Gems Three Pack in Fresh Freesia.

I adhered this panel to a Garden Green piece, then Highland Heather as well. I wrapped these with Natural Tones Linen Thread & tied a bow, adhering in place with a glue dot. I added dimensionals to the back and attached to the card base. :O)

For the inside… I pulled another stamp set called Courage & Faith and stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White panel, then each of the leafy stamps too. I colored the leaves with Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends, adhered the panel to the inside and the card was complete.

Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms & Beautiful Butterflies for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 20, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Greetings! It’s that time again for the infamous Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a theme challenge today… butterflies & bugs… and I have chosen the butterflies today :O) Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Memorable Blooms & Beautiful Butterflies card front

The basis for this card is the Memorable Blooms Dies – see that wonderful octagon – it has fabulous stitching around and a fun decorative trim impression on the card front – that doesn’t show in this photo at all! I used the Memorable Blooms Dies on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Basic White, then adhered the larger section to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The octagon panel was adhered on dimensionals. Then I created this fun butterfly with the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. I die cut this lacy butterfly twice in Basic White, then one of them was heat embossed with the WOW! Gold embossing powder – twice.

To heat emboss, tap the VersaMark pad on the die cut butterfly, sprinkle it with embossing powder & heat set with the heat tool. Redo a second or third time as necessary for complete coverage.

I adhered the two die cut butterflies together with liquid glue then added the ‘body’ (also heat embossed with WOW! Gold embossing powder) the same way. these were attached with glue dots. The sentiment is stamped on a Basic Black scrap with VersaMark then sprinkled with White embossing powder and heat set then fussy cut with my paper snips. (The remainder of the sentiment is on the inside of the card.) I added three Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold. I cut a length of Large Check Ribbon (Black & Very Vanilla), made a bow, then snipped each section to look like a double bow and added it to the butterfly with a glue dot.

I’ll be honest, my hubby doesn’t like the addition of the bow – said it detracts from the butterfly. But I love the extra touch. Would love to have your opinion!

For the inside… I adhered the remainder of the fussy cut sentiment to the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel then stamped another butterfly from Beautiful Butterfly stamp set in Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Peach Pie and Azure Afternoon.

For the envelope… the same butterfly from Beautiful Butterfly stamp set stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Peach Pie & Azure Afternoon. Please note… I left this photo quite large in order for you to see the intricate stitching & design around the octagon :O)

Stampin’ Up! Three Panel Heart Card

Posted on February 17, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Valentines just passed and I could not post this card – to my hubby – as he just might see it :O) Now’s a good time to share.

This card is made using the Bloom Impressions DSP that is FREE during Sale-a-bration when purchasing $60 worth of products. It coordinates with Real Red card stock (behind it) and of course, Basic White. I used the Paper Pumpkin Dies – Spring is in the Air – to create the heart, and Mixed Labels Dies to cut the sentiment.

Step by step

Card base: Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer: Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, embossed with the So Swirly EF & adhered directly to the card base
Layer: Real Red 4 1/4 x 3 3/4
DSP layer: 3 3/4 x 3 1/2 cut into 3, 1 1/4″ strips
- Adhere DSP to Real Red then to card front with dimensionals
Die cut two hearts with the Spring is in the Air Dies
- Adhere one heart with liquid glue
- Adhere second heart w/ mini dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Everyday Greetings stamp set with Memento ink; die cut with the Mixed Labels Dies; adhere with dimensionals
Tie a double bow with White Bakers Twine & adhere with glue dot
Add three Low Profile Dots

For the inside… On a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, stamp the two hearts in Real Red ink using the Friendfs For Life stamp set; adhere panel to inside – and done!

Stampin' Up! 3 Panel heart Card & envelope

For the envelope… More of the same Bloom Impressions DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

What’s great about this layout, and this card… it could be used as an anniversary card (change the DSP), a wedding card (change the DSP & layer to something soft & elegant), a genuine thank you card (again change the DSP & layer & maybe even the sentiment) – all kinds of options.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again! Happy Birthday to me & my twin today! This is a B-I-G one – but it’s just a number, right? Today’s card takes a bit of imagination to match the sketch, but I think it does. Tell me what YOU think!

I began by doing quite a bit of die cutting to create the grass – several strips of Bloom Impressions DSP in various widths in the pretty Shy Shamrock color, from 1 1/4′ “to 1/2” and using the single grass die in the Umbrella Days Dies. I used the flower dies in the same die set to die cut all these tiny flower heads and more Bloom Impressions 12 x 12 scraps. I set these aside while creating the person and umbrella. Stamp the image from Umbrella Days stamp set on Basic White with Memento ink; color the raincoat with Blends Daffodil Delight and the hands with Petal Pink. Die cut the boots and the sections of the umbrella with more of the Umbrella Days Dies. Adhere the umbrella die cut pieces to the umbrella and the boots to the feet with liquid glue. Set this aside as well.

Begin adhering the strips of grass to a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4 in layers. The top & shorter pieces are added with dimensionals. Sprinkle on several of the die cut flowers and attach with dabs of liquid glue. Stamp the raindrops in Gray Granite ink. Cut another piece of the Bloom Impresssions DSP about 2 1/4 x 5 1/4 and gently tear the edge to create unevenness. Now it should look like sky :O) Die cut a couple of clouds from the same pattern of Bloom Impressions DSP and add. I used dimensionals and glue dots to create depth for each cloud. Attach the body & feet with liquid glue; add a dimensional in the middle of the umbrella and glue dots to the two outer portions – to give the umbrella a ’rounded’ look. With the ‘scene’ completed, I attached the panel to the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Basic White card base which has been scorned and burnished at 4 1/4.

Here’s a closeup photo of the layers of grass.

For the inside…

I tore another strip of Bloom Impressions DSP and attached it to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, then stamped the sentiment from Umbrella Days stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink, adhered the panel to the inside of the card base – and done!

The envelope… more of the blue from Bloom Impressions added to the flap & trimmed to fit. I tore yet another strip from the same paper and added it to the bottom front of the envelope, then stay the sentiment from Umbrella Days stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink.

Stampin’ Up! Handmade Designs & Linked Together Dies Sympathy Card

Posted on February 12, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

All of a sudden I am in need of sympathy cards and I want them to be somewhat special. I had not played with the Handmade Designs stamp set (FREE when joining as a Demonstrator through Feb 28, 2025) OR the Linked Together Dies. This is a soft feeling card because of the Peach Pie color in the the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP (FREE with a $60 purchase through Feb.28, 2025). And I was inspired by the card on page 48 in the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog to use the diamond die in this way. I really like how it turned out. The sentiment is from the Hope You Know stamp set, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card front

So let me tell you how I did this. I stamped the floral image from the Handmade Designs stamp set using two Markers for the ink: Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green, then huffed on the stamp and stamped on Basic White card stock – about 4 x 4 in size. I then took a Peach Pie Marker and followed the edge of the flower stamped to create the second color. For the center of the flower I scribbled with the Daffodil Delight Marker. I die cut the flower using the diamond die, then cut another from plain Basic White card stock – and cut it in half corner to corner in the middle. I attached the stamped piece to the two (now) triangles and set this aside. I cut a piece of the Blooming Impressions 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to a Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then to the Thick Basic White card base (4 14 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I attached the diamonds that were set aside, directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot, then added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, stamped a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut with paper snips the sentiment. I added dimensionals and added it to the card front.

For the inside, all I did was stamp the sentiment – again from the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I added this to the inside of the card – and done!

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I inked just a portion of the flower with the Pumpkin Pie Marker, huffed on it and stamped. I used the Peach Pie Marker as before to add color.

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

Posted on February 6, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

I’m not certain what this fun fold is called… maybe a double fold? It opens from the left, then again from the right. Yo can see the sentiment here in the middle – and it’s from the Delightful Wishes Dies. There are two layers, the background layer is Daffodil Delight and the top layer is Basic White. It’s attached to the card front with mini dimensionals cut in half. The bow is a double bow made with the Satin Ribbon in Daffodil Delight and tied with White Baker’s Twine and attached with a glue dot. The card base and DSP panels is what makes this card the fun fold it is.

Card Base, Lemon Lolly cs: 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 1″ and 5 1/4″. Fold both ends toward the center & burnish

DSP panels: cut 2 at 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 but from two different DSP panels. The front layer you see is Floral Delight 12×12; the other layer is from Floral & Gingham Vellum 12×12. Attach these DSP pieces to the card base at each end.

Cut two side panels of Lemon Lolly card stock 7/8 x 5 1/4 and run through the Zinnia 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card panels at each end, covering the ends of the DSP attached to the card base. See photos below.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes Fun Fold card partially open

You can see in this photo that I added a sentiment piece… stamped in Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White strip 5/8 x 3 1/2 then die cut with Delightful Wishes banner die. This was attached to the vellum panel with glue dots and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins were added at each end.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes Fun Fold card fully open

The center panel is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and run through the largest die in the Stitched with Whimsy Dies. Before attaching to the inside of the card, I stamped the floral image from Delightful Wishes stamp set. Since this is a two-step stamp, the first is Lemon Lolly ink, the second is Daffodil Delight ink to give more detail of the flower. Now adhere to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Delightful wishes Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope, I added more of the Floral Delight 12×12 DSp to the flap and used the same two step method to stamp the same flower on the envelope front. This is such a bright, springy card and could be used for several occasions: birthday, encouragement, even a wedding or baby card. Love the versatility.

My main colors were Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. This is a hop, remember, so check out what others on the team have created. Click the next button or a name to take you where you want to go.

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Celebration for the Happy Inkin Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 30, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday & the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I have chosen to use items in the Wildflower Birthday Suite for my card.

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebrations card front

I’ve taken some liberties with the sketch… in lieu of the circle, I used the banner die in the Birthday Celebrations Dies with Peach Pie card stock and behind it is Gold Foil attached to Lost Lagoon card stock for the vertical element. But I am ahead of myself. :O)

The card base is Lost Lagoon 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. The next two layers are Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to Gold Foil 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and added to the card base with dimensionals. The vertical element is adhered directly to Timeless Plaid with liquid glue. The banner die (used in lieu of the circle for the sketch) is die cut from Peach Pie card stock and attached with dimensionals. The cake is one of the awesome die cuts supplied in the Wildflower Birthday 12×12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I attached it directly to the banner with liquid glue. The two floral images are also part of the die cuts in the Wildflower 12×12 SDSP and are attached with min i dimensionals. As a final touch, three Party Dots (part of the Wildflower Birthday Suite) were added to the card front,

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebration card inside

Because this card is for someone specific… and it’s their 41st birthday :O), I again used stamps & dies in the Birthday Celebration bundle. The sentiments are all stamped in Lost Lagoon ink. The numbers are die cut in both Peach Pie and Gold Foil sheets and adhered offset with liquid glue- all on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This piece was added to the Lost Lagoon card base on the inside – and the card was done.

For the envelope front I added elements of the Wildflower 12×12 SDSP with die cuts supplied in the DSP package – and more of the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP on the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Hearts of Elegance

Posted on January 25, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Today’s card is just full of hearts and love and could easily be used for a wedding or anniversary OR Valentines card! I had so much fun playing and pulling out papers to coordinate.

Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance card front

I used the Marbled Elegance ONLINE EXCLUSIVE DSP for the very top two layered hearts & the largest most colorful heart. The stripe heart & the heart with circles are from the 24-26 In Color 6×6 DSP, Pretty in Pink. The other two hearts are from a leftover piece that I had color blended with various shades of pink. All of these were die cut with the Hearts of Elegance Dies. These are layered on a Basic White panel run through the So Swirly embossing folder, which was then added to the Thick Basic White card base. The bow is made by pulling apart the strands on the White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack – and adhered to the heart with a glue dot. I added three Blooming Pearls in Gold, which are from the 24-25 Annual Catalog. This is the link to the card when I created the sheet with Blending Brushes and several shades of pinks.

Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance inside card

For the inside I stamped this sweet heart in Pretty In Pink ink then added another double bow using an additional length of the taken apart White Bakers Twine. It was added with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance card & envelope

For the envelope, I used another piece of the 24-26 In Color 6×6 DSP to cover the flap, then stamped the very same heart as the inside on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Heart Shaped for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 23, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning happy people! We are back with another fun hop today. My computer has been on the blink :O) and I haven’t posted anything since last week – eek!!! Today it is all about Sale-a-bration which is during Jan-Feb. I chose to play with the beautiful and delicate Heart Shaped bundle that is a’ ‘free’ item with a purchase of $120 in product. And it’s gorgeous.

These dies are just so inspiring – and I’m using them for a card class today, making this card and another something else as well. :O) What I did here was inspired by a couple of demonstrators… Kim McGillis and Mary Ann Cowan. I began by using my Blending Brushes – the small ones – and using several inks – to color a piece of Basic White card stock. The colors I used were Petal Pink, Pretty In Pink and Melon Mambo & Basic Beige. Here’s what my page looked like after coloring.

Stampin' Up! BW Colored with blends & Heart Shaped Dies

I forgot to take a photo before doing so many die cuts, but I think you can easily see (‘cuz I slipped several die cuts back in place). This was a full 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and you can see how many I was able to get out of it.

The next step was layering these pieces – and really, you don’t have to use as many as I did, I just liked the look of several hearts. I used three hearts and three flowers, attaching them with tiny dots of liquid glue, off-setting each one slightly. The flowers got an additional center with the Antique Pearls (which are from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog).

For the card…

Thick Basic White card base cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
Add with dimensionals a 4 x 5 1/4 Petty Pink panel.
Using the largest of the Stitched Shapes Dies and a panel of Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, cie cut a circle equidistant from the top & sides
Lay this card front piece on the Petal Pink and adhere only the circle in the opening to the Petal Pink.
Wrap a length of ribbon (Scalloped Ribbon in Petal Pink) around the die cut card front and secure in back with tear n’ Tape.
Put dimensionals on this card front and adhere in place over the circle.
Adhere the heart die cuts to the circle with dots of liquid glue.
Stamp your sentiment w/ VersaMark ink on a Petal Pink strip and sprinkle with WOW White embossing powder; heat set with your heating tool. Once cool, die cut with the appropriate die from Heart Shaped Dies, shortening the length of the piece. Add the sentiment with two mini dimensionals.
Slip a length of the same Scalloped Ribbon in Petal Pink, under the ribbon in place and tie a knot. Secure in place with a glue dot. DONE!

For the inside… I kept this very simple since the card front was frilly & feminine. I stamped the image of the flowers in Petal Pink ink on opposite sides of the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, then adhered the piece in place.

For the envelope, I stamped the partial image of the heart using the Heart Shaped stamp set, first stamping in Petal Pink ink, then stamping in Pretty In Pink ink, off-setting when I stamped – so it’s a double image.

I have more die cuts to use for something else, another card or ‘something’. Come back tomorrow to see how I used those.

STAMPIN’ UP! Mixed Media Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Happy Thursday – and welcome to Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and so many of these colors come from a specific DSP that I kept this super simple.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card front

You can see I focused on the colors Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Boho Blue. The card base is Boho Blue, standard A2 card size 8 1/2 x5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The Basic White panel is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 with the Mixed Media Florals DSP cut 3 3/4 x 5 and adhered to it. I wrapped the Navy ribbon from the Natural Tones Linen Thread pack around these two, twice, and tied a bow, adhering that with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the Mixed Labels Dies. I love the design around the edge! I added three Opals Round Assortments in Daffodil Delight from the Annual Catalogue. I added dimensionals and attached to the DSP panels, then added those to the card base – also with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card inside

For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped this fun partial image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. This was adhered directly to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card & envelope

I did exactly the same for the envelope front… stamping a partial image in Memento ink and coloring it with the same Stampin’ Blends. You can clearly see the coloring is different :O) – and the card was done! See below the list of names for purchasing these products from me :O)
