Stampin’ Up! Tile Garden Sneak Peek with Rtisan Sketched Garden for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 20, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning, good morning! We have a fun sketch challenge today and i’m so glad you have joined us! You may have come from the fabulous Tara or hopped right in nhere. Haowever you arrived, I hope you’ll check out what everyone has created.

Our challenge today, as you can see is to create using Black & White plus one other color. I chose to work with Crisp Cantaloupe for this card & the wonderful Artisan Sketched Garden DSP from the May-Aug Catalog. The other big item is the NEW Tile Garden bundle from the Stampin’ Up! Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog that goes live Sep. 1! The dies in this bundle are all squares and haqve the same pattern as the Spotlight on Nature Dies, which are circles. Very cool!

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden + Artisan Sketched Garden card front

The Artisan Sketched Garden DSP is all black & white – the whole package of papers. And of course it can be used as is – or colored. As you can see, I colored the main front panel using the Crisp Cantaloup Shimmer brush. While the shiny doesn’t show in the photo, it does in real life. 😀 After coloring I added this to a Basic Black 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. To that I added a 3/4 x 4 3/4 polka dot strip to the much more white panel 2 x 4 1/4, & attached those to the card front. Next I die cut the white piece using the NEW Tile Garden Dies & added a Crisp Cantaloupe behind it 2 7/8 x 2 7/8. These were added to the card front with dimensionals. I already had this vase of flowers sitting on my desk that I had fussy cut after coloring with Stampin’ Blends: Crisp Cantaloup. Granny Apple Green & Pool Party. I added this to the front again with dimensionals then three Glossy Garden Dots (also from the new Sep-Dec 2026 catalog.)

For the inside of the card I used the NEW Tile Garden stamp set for the sentiment (stamped in Memento ink) and the floral image (stamped in Granny Apple Green and Crisp Cantaloupe (this one stamped off once) This is such a sweet delicate flower. I’m loving the images in this set.

Stampin' Up! Tile Garden + Artisan Sketched Garden card & envelope

The envelope… more of the Tile Garden stamp set used on the front, stamping the leaves min Granny Apple Green and the flowers in stamped off Crisp Cantaloupe. The flap has yet another panel of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP adhered & trimmed to fit.

I made another card while I was at it – this time making an easel card with Strawberry Slush, the Everyday Arches Dies, Tile Garden stamp set for the sentiment and tiny flowers, more Artisan Sketched Garden DSP (for the black & white plus theme) and a couple of retired products 🥴 The point is, products can coordinate! It’s the Stampin’ Up! way!!!

Stampin’ Up! Color Challenge for Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 2, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello – and WELCOME to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I hope you’ll make the effort to visit those participating in the hop today – you’ll see some fun & awesome creations. We have a color challenge today and I’m highlighting mostly Petal Pink & Old Olive.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card front

This card begins with a Petal Pink card base & overlay of Basic White run through the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder.. Next are two strips of the Brushed with Beauty DSP adhered directly to the BW panel. Next a Basic White die cut of several leaves adhered. Leaves were stamped with Old Olive ink & die cut. A single large flower was stamped in Petal Pink ink: outline stamp in full strength and filler in stamped off once Petal Pink. I added the leaves to this piece and attached dimensionals & added these to the front of the card. I also die cut the large flower outline and stamped the center with Early Espresso ink, then attached it just in the center of the die cut – to the flower. Final touches: a double Linen Thread bow and three Pearls of Beauty.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card inside

For the inside of the card… on a Basic White panel, I stamped the floral outline stamp with cajun Craze ink and the filler in stamped off Petal Pink ink. The center was again stamped with Early Espresso ink. This panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card & envelope

Finally, the envelope… another strip of the Brushed with Beauty DSP was added to the flap – and this card is ready to send. I love the layers of this card – and the femininity too. This card can easily be a sympathy or sending love or thinking of you or birthday – it versatile.

Stampin’ Up! Lazy Daisy for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 26, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday and the fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve turned it sideways, I also think it fits the sketch. .

I’ve been playing a lot with this embossing folder. It’s a new one – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and I’m loving how beautiful it is. I’ve kept this card really simple to show off the beauty of this embossing folder. The card base is a standard A2 size, 8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 4 1/4. The embossed layer is 5 x 4 1/4 and is attached to the Thick Basic White base with liquid glue. I used Smoky Slate ink to stamp the sentiment on a Basic White piece- from You Are Beautiful stamp set. I die cut this with Nested Essentials Dies – a carry over set into the May-Aug 2026 catalog. I adhered this with dimensionals to the next larger die cut in Smoky Slate. The two were attached directly to the embossed panel. I wanted a bow & decided this 1/” Variegated Trim would do the trick – & attached it with a glue dot. Final step… two 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

For the inside I decided to do something I haven’t done in a bit – use my scoring tool to create some lines. I turned the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel to the back and scored three lines. I turned the panel 90 degrees and did the same again. Turning this to the right side, the score lines are raised and just what I wanted. This created a simple & elegant border to the left and bottom. This was attached to the inside of the card and is ready!

For the envelope… I used another stamp in the You are beautiful stamp set – the large leaf – and Smoky Slate ink to stamp several times on the flap and once on the envelope front. This is such a nice set and I haven’t used it nearly enough!

So here’s my question… do I need the bow? Or, shall I remove it?

To purchase the products to make this card, check the list below & place that order with me. 😀 With every order Stampin’ Up! gives you rewards that you can use with your next order. When your purchase is $50 & up, you get bonus points from me that when earned xxx number of points you can order something free from me + receive the monthly tutorial as well. Check out my Daisy Patch Rewards for more info.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery Off-Set Gatefold

Posted on March 24, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I have a fun set of cards to share today. And yes, you heard that right – a ‘set’ of cards. I needed several for folks that need a pick-me-up, a thinking of you if they are feeling kind of down. I enjoy the off-set gatefold more than the regular – I have no idea why. At any rate… I was playing with the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP and got on a roll. Here are the four cards.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, card 2

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, card 3

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, card 4

Didn’t these turn out beautifully- all because of the DSP! Each card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 1 1/4 & 5 1/2. After that it simply depends on how you burnish the fold as to which direction it becomes. 😀 Card 2 is off-set to the right while the other three are off-set to the left. And either way works.

Card 1 sentiment is stamped in Old Olive ink on Basic White & uses the Grow with Love stamp set & die cut with Scalloped Wishes Dies. Embellishments are Pearls of Beauty.

Cards 2 & 3 are both stamped in Secret Sea ink using the Courage & Faith sentiment and Branching Out Dies. Card 2 uses Charming Shimmer Dots. Card 3 uses Natural Matte Dots & Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon.

Card 4 sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink using the Grow with Love stamp set. It uses other dies in the Scalloped Wishes Dies set. And the embellishments are again the Pearls of Beauty.

On two cards I added an extra card stock layer behind the DSP: 1 1/8 x 5 1/8; 2 7/8 x 5 3/8. The DSP layers are all the same: 1 1/4 x 51/4 & 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. You will see in the next photos that I also lined the inside of the cards with those same DSP measurements. The stamped Basic White layer on the inside is 4 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, inside card 2

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, inside card 3

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, inside card 4

Stunning on the inside too, right? It really makes this card extra special. The stamped images on the inside use the Gallery Blooms stamp set: card 1 is stamped in Old Olive ink; cards 2 & 3 are stamped in Secret Sea ink; and card 4 is stamped in Early Espresso ink.

Stampin’ Up! Mixed Florals with Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder

Posted on March 23, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday! I’ve a pretty daisy card for you that just shouts spring. I’ve been working in my craft room for a while now, purging, cleaning up, reorganizing. It’s coming together but isn’t quite ‘there’ yet. So, back to this card… it uses the new March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder. Let’s take a peek.

This card has lots of layers 👍 Absolutely love this floral image. I stamped it in Memento ink then added color with Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight & Shy Shamrock, then used my fine tip Basick Black Marker to add lines to the flower petals and dots under the flower center. If your marker tip is of the newer variety and doesn’t have that fine tip, you can use a Journaling Pen. I die cut this image with Branching Out Dies then cut out another from Pool Party card stock & layered them together. I ran a panel of Basic White 3 3/4 x 5 through the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder. I cut a piece of Floral & Gingham Vellum SDSP using the checkered pattern – 4 x 5 1/4 and layered this to a Pool Party same size. I added these to the Thick Basic White card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2). The Branching out pieces were attached to the card front with dimensionals. Final step… three Shades of Green Hexagons were added to the card front.

For the inside… I kept this quite simple… only the sentiment stamped in Memento Black ink – and this sentiment is from You Are Remarkable stamp set.

Again using a stamp from the Mixed Florals stamp set & Memento Black ink, I added this sweet floral image to the envelope front and colored the flowers with Stampin’ Blends Light Daffodil Delight.

Let’s discuss for a minute what’s coming soon… changes to that Memento ink pad. It’s going to be new & different & fabulous – no need to have a certain black ink pad for certain processes. This new pad will do it all! No Stazon or cleaner… just this new ink pad. Cannot WAIT!!! This is coming in the new catalog that will be available soon (May 4 to be exact!) – along with lots of other goodies… five new In Colors in all new magnetic ink pads that will be so easy to open – you’re going to love them. In lieu of one new catalog that runs for a full year, Stampin’ Up! will be releasing three catalogs per year beginning with the May-August 2026 Catalog. I’m excited about this change. This new catalog is fewer pages but lots of new products & ideas & I can’t wait to share them with you.

For now… if you want to order items to make the above card, see the products below to do that.

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Send a card with lots of ❤️

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.

Stampin’ Up! Sketch Challenge for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Good morning… it’s Thursday and you KNOW what that means – the wonderful Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have some very talented folks on this team & it amazes me what folks create. I hope you appreciate all the talent you see on our hops. It is so funny, I was a week ahead of myself & made something for that… so I re-grouped!

Yesterday I received a Stampin’ Up! package with items from the Jan-April 2026 Mini Catalog, along with my catalog! YAY! So, in re-grouping and with the new items, I created something, well, different for me. My hubby really likes it – so hopefully you will too.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony card front

The items on this card are all from the Nature’s Walk Suite Collection in the new January – April 2026 Mini Catalog. First off, I cannot believe we are quickly moving into 2026!!! How did that happen? Secondly – this suite is full of gorgeous Designer Series Paper (2!), embellishments, a bundle & ribbon. I used all but the ribbon for this card. Check the texture on the paper behind the leaf die cut. That’s called Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper. And the die cut leaf is from one of the Nature Walk DSP; the panel at the bottom is from the same sheet. The odd-shaped cuts in the paper – a die from the Nature’s Symphony Dies. More texture! And the piece with the holes – another die. And of course, it was cut from the same piece of DSP!

I used additional products to make this card… the Textured Notes Dies (third from largest), Very Vanilla card stock & Secret Sea ink.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony, inside card

For the inside of the card… Another strip of the Nature Walk DSP across the bottom of a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Very Vanilla; the leaf is actually a portion of the leaf from the leaf on the card front :O) The sentiment is from Nature’s Symphony stamp set – stamped in Secret Sea ink. There’s another stamp on there too, on the paper under the leaf, it’s just really hard to see, but it comes from this stamp set as well.

Card & envelope… I left this in the ‘large’ size so you can see the texture on the larger panel of Specialty Paper. I will definitely be playing more with this set! You can see more photos below of the products in this suite – the Nature Walk Suite Collection – out in the January- April 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Pleated Fun Fold with Botanical Textures DSP

Posted on November 19, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

I posted a card last week that was made in this same way. Todays card is simply black & white with the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP (on the last chance list so ON SALE!) I used a new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE embossing folder – Beautiful Pattern and really like the design it creates.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures

You will notice I offset the pleated panel and tied the bow on the side. This has a totally different look. Here is the link to the card with this same pleat or accordion type fold.

More photos… card open to the left so all layers show, then card open to right where only the second panel is decorated. You could, of course, decorate the other panels, but they would not show when the card is closed or open.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures, open to left

Notice the DSP is cut so each design matches the next, starting with the left far panel to even the small strip on right. These were purposely cut sequentially so the pattern would ‘flow.’

Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP & Sketch

Posted on November 2, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

WOW – November! Halloween is behind us & Thanksgiving is coming soon. What a time to be be thankful & grateful… yes, yes. I’m thankful for all of you & grateful for this fun craft which I so enjoy. So MANY blessings… lest I get sappy… let me share today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card front

This cute little bird has been sitting on my desk for a bit. He was supposed to be used on another project & well, I got busy with other cards, designs & stuff. He was die cut using a Spotlight on Nature Die, cut directly from the Nests of Winter DSP. I mounted him on a Cherry Cobbler circle die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then I pulled various papers from the Nests of Winter DSP pack.

the cross panel is 2 1/4 x 3 7/8
the two vertical panels are 1 x 3 & 1 1/4 x 4

These were adhered on the Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 pice which was attached to yet another panel of DSP 4 x 5 1/4. These were added to the Gray Granite card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) with dimensionals. The circles were also added to the card with dimesnionals. Then these wonderful Streaked Dots were scattered for additional charm.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP, inside card

For the inside of the card I fussy cut with my paper snips this adorable bird & adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White insert (4 x 5 1/4).

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. DONE! Cut the DSP panels ahead of time & this card layout is a quick 1, 2, 3. Add a sentiment depending on the front focal point, or not, as I didn’t here. It’s easy to add a message inside when this card is needed for something special.

Stampin’ Up! ‘Windowpane’ Look with Brushed with Beauty DSP

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

It’s cool again today – 40 degrees… I’m definitely going to wear a heavier jacket when I walk tomorrow! Brushed with Beauty dSP is a new release item come Nov 4 as part of an ONLINE EXCLUSivE suite of products. The paper is gorgeous and I can’t quit using it. When I showed this card to my hubby he immediately said it looked like a windowpane – so I’m coining that word for making this kind of layout. 😁

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty 'windowpane' card front

What is great about this layout is how versatile it is with so many of our Stampin’ Up! papers. And here’s how to do it…

DIRECTIONS FOR WINDOWPANE CARD

cut card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & score @ 4 1/4 (Mossy Meadow
Cut another piece of card stock (same color) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 & run it through the Gathering Leaves embossing folder. Adhere this to the card front
Cut DSP (Brushed with Beauty) 2 3/4 x 4 then cut that with short edge at top:
- 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 & 1 x 2 1/2 (that leaves a piece 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 & 1 x 1 1/2)
- Adhere these to a card panel 3 x 4 1/4 with even separation (Early Espresso)
- Adhere this to a card panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 (Very Vanilla)
- Add these to the card baser with dimensionals
- Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink using the Just A Note stamp set
- Make a double Linen Thread bow; add to card front with a glue dot
- Add sentiment with dimensionals over the bow

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card inside

For the inside… I cut a piece of this stunning Brushed with Beauty DSP 1/2 x 3 3/4 and adhered it to the bottom of a Vary Vanilla panel 3 3/4 x 5, then added this to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty 'Windowpane" card & envelope

For the envelope… another piece of this beautiful Brushed with Beauty DSP in a coordinating pattern – 2 14 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit. Bam – done!
