Stampin’ Up! Fresh As A Daisy Cards

Posted on April 25, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

WooHoo – welcome to Tuesday! The other day I tore into my package of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the very first sheet is full of card front panels, which I immediately cut apart. I shared my first card using the coordinating Cheerful Dies and Cheerful Daisy stamp set – you may find that here. Today’s cards – yep, two of them, use more of that DSP but very little of the dies. Here is card 1…

Stampin' Up! Freash as a daisy card inside

Stampin' Up! Fresh as a daisy card & envelope

The panel is layered onto an Early Espresso panel, then wrapped in this gorgeous Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon and added to the Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisies stamp set with Early Espresso ink on Basic White and die cut it with the banner die from Cheerful Daisy Dies. This was adhered over the ribbon. I looped a length of the same ribbon around the band and tied a single knot., then added a glue dot under the knot to secure in place. Final touches: Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots on the sentiment and Wink of Stella on each of the brown flower centers.

Stampin' Up! Fresh as a daisy with Wink of Stella

For the inside, I stamped the daisy in Wild Wheat and the center in Early Espresso, using Wink of Stella on the brown center of the flower :O) This was a Basic White panel and was adhered directly to the inside of the card. I stamped the same images on the envelope front, same inks and everything. I’m hoping you can see the Wink of Stella shine in this single photo.

For the second card… totally different colors but from that same Fresh As A Daisy sheet as the card above.

Stampin' Up! Fresh As.A Daisy card 2, inside

Stampin' Up! Fresh As A Daisy card 2 w/ envelope

How different is this card from the previous, right?! The main color that pops is the new Bubble Bath. I adhered this DSP front to a slightly larger piece of Crushed Curry. I ran a Garden Green piece through the Basic 3D embossing folder called Cross Hatch (purchased from the Online Store!) I added this directly to the Thick Basic White card base, then added the DSP panel with dimensionals on top of it. I stamped the sentiment on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White with the new Bubble Bath ink and added it to the card front with dimensionals. The banner got two Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight, then I added three more to the DSP panel. The final touch was this bow made with the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon, added with a glue dot.

Again, a super simple inside: this daisy stamp from Cheerful daisies, stamped in Crushed Curry ink on the Basic White panel. This piece was attached to the inside of the card. The envelope got the same treatment, one on the envelope front and one on the flap. Done, done.

I am making a group of about five cards (maybe more) to give to a friend – all daisy inspired. I’m attending a convention first weekend in May and that’s when I’ll give them to her :O)

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies

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

Good morning stamping friends. It’s Saturday! The other day I mentioned that my box of goodies had arrived from Stampin’ Up! with fun new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Well, I didn’t know where to begin…. but I was drawn to the daisies. So here we go… Cheerful Daisies Bundle, first play.

The daisies is all one die, until I added layers. :O) But I want you to understand/ know, this is all together. The other thing is, they can be cut apart after die cutting to use individually. Look on page 111 of the new catalog at the coordinating Fresh as a Daisy DSP. This particular paper came from the large sheet with all the individual patterns. The coordinating colors here are Pretty Peacock (a returning color) and Wild Wheat, a new 2023-2025 In Color. This photo makes it look more yellow than it really is, but it’s more of a dark mustard. I’m really liking it.

Here’s the ‘how to’ for this card. I took apart the cover sheet of this DSP, setting aside all the other squares and rectangles cut from the paper. This DSP panel is 4 x 5 1/4. I adhered it to a Basic White piece 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then onto a Wild Wheat card base just an eensy bit larger. I die cut the large panel of daises from Thick Basic White, then the layers that go on each of the three. I used a sponge dauber to lightly color, using Wild Wheat ink. I then adhered these in place with tiny dabs of liquid glue. I die cut the sentiment banner – yep, part of the dies in the Cheerful daisies Dies, in Wild Wheat and while I was at it die cut the two daisies ‘centers’ also from Wild Wheat. The sentiment I chose is cute, but had extra words I didn’t want to use, so I taped those off, I stamped in VersaMark, removed the tape and stamped on the banner; sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set from the back side. Why the back side? I find it gives a more clear finish and doesn’t blow off any of the little powders.

I added the little die cut ‘circles’ to the backs of the two larger daises. I wanted all the detail to show, but wanted some color behind as well. I added dimensionals to the daisies and adhered them in place. I slipped the banner under one of the daisies and adhered with liquid glue. I added the bow with glue dots using the Simply Elegant Trim in gold. I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly (new color and new gems – available May 2!)

For the inside…. On a Basic White panel I stamped the daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set. This is a two-step stamp; the background is stamped off While Wheat; the more detail stamp is full strength Wild Wheat. The center is stamped in Early Espresso ink. I wanted to carry the Pretty Peacock to the inside of the card, so adhered the panel to a slightly larger piece. Now… here’s the really funny part… are you ready?

True confessions: I went to adhere this to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base and realized I had adhered the daisies & banner upside down!!! Now I just have to say – I have never done this before and I was really surprised – AND disappointed. I trimmed the upper portion of the card off and cut it down a bit so it would fit on a Basic White Thick card base. It worked, just not what I had wanted.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful daisies, inside of card

For the envelope… More of the fun Fresh as a Daisy DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit., and the same stamped daisy on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine Card

Posted on April 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning! I have a quick and easy masculine card for you today using By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

Notice how the DSP has a continuous flow of the pattern. I love it when that happens! The DSP was cut 1 x 4 (three of them) and adhered to a Balmy Blue panel 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. This was attached to a very slightly larger Sahara Sand card stock, 3 5/8 x 4 5/8. I wrapped this gorgeous Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around these panels and tied a knot. These panels were adhered the to a Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. I took this wonderful image of the seagull on pilings from Waves of Inspiration stamp set and stamped it with Sahara Sand ink. I colored the bill of the seagull very lightly with Watercolor Pencils Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, die cut with the Waves Dies and attached it over the ribbon with dimensionals. And the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine card inside.

For the inside…. a Sahara Sand panel was attached to the inside of the card, then a piece of Basic White, then a strip of the Bay the Bay on the left side. Also on the inside, I added another piece of the By the Bay DSP to the upper portion of the inside. It just really tied everything together and made the card extra special.

Now for the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration card & envelope

This Waves of Inspiration stamp set is just gorgeous! I stamped it first in Balmy Blue ink on the envelope front, then lightly added Night of Navy ink in places and stamped it again. It is really quite stunning. Of course, more of the By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap trimmed to fit.

Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy ink. AND the Watercolor Pencils are also carrying over :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper.

Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

As so many items are being sold out rapidly, best thing to do is visit my ‘shop’ and see what’s still available. If it’s listed, it’s available. If it isn’t listed, it’s sold out – simple as that. The sale goes to May 1, 2023.

And… here’s my HOST CODE CXR49K4W for ordering any products from the retiring lists or any other items… order from me here and be sure to use my HOST CODE CXR49K4W. Look for my name listed as your demonstrator at the top of the page!

With the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog going live May2, new products will be available. Designer Series Paper is so valuable in card making – as you see in this card. I am offering Designer Series Paper Shares…

New Designer Series Paper Share – $70.00 plus $8.50 for Priority Mail shipping

How my shares work: I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6 x 6 pieces (or 6 x 12 for double shares) and you receive one panel of each design from each pack on the list. I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can. Shares give you a working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! :O)

Stampin’ Up! TriFold Shutter Card

Posted on April 14, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Friday! Fun folds are just that, fun. And sometimes easier than they look. I’m sharing a trifold shutter card today that really is quite easy and is a real “show off”. It’s a card within a card. :O) I’ve used Fancy Flora DSP (again!) as it has what I call, a continuous pattern. To coordinate with that, I also used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and it’s coordinating Two-Tone Dies.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with DSP

This begins with a full length of card stock 11 x 5 1/2, scored on the long side at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4 and 7. I used Petal Pink card stock for this. Burnish the score lines: mountain, valley, mountain and valley. The next step is to place this on the paper trimmer with the short side to the top and at 1 1/4. Cut from the 1 3/4 score line to the 5 1/4 score line. Turn it over and do the same on the other side. It should look like this.

Cut Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper: it’s helpful to use a DSP that has a continuous pattern and this works really well. Remove 1″ from the top of the 6×6 piece. With the long side at top, cut four pieces 1 1/2 x 5, keeping them in order. Adhere pieces 1 & 4 to the first & fourth panels of the card stock. With the bottom end of the two remaining pieces, trim to 1″ and attach to panels 2 & 3, following the continuing pattern. Turn around and with top of those two strips, cut 1″ from top. Attach those to the tops of panels 2 & 3. That leaves centers of panels 2 & 3 blank. Making certain to follow the continuous pattern of the DSP, trim the remaining piece that coordinates with panel 3. It should measure 1 1/2 x 2 1/2. Now cut a 2 3/4 square with a coordinating card stock. I chose Soft Suede. Cut another piece of Soft Suede 7 1/2 x 5, score on long side @ 3 3/4. Burnish and add to back 4″ panel of the Petal Pink card base. This is what makes the card within a card.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter card in steps

Cut a piece of Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (cut 2) for the additional card panels. Cut a piece of Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for the very front of the card. Adhere this square to the 2 3/4″ square.

Stamp the two panels that are 3 1/2 x 4 3/4: one is for the inside of the back card, while the other is for it’s front. Use Soft Suede ink to stamp the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set and add to the ‘back’ card front. On the other panel, same size, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set, in stamped off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the detail of that flower with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Adhere both to the appropriate panels.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter card.. full length

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with inside card

Notice another panel of DSP on the opposite side of the stamped panel – yep.. that’s a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP, but the reverse side :O) All that’s left to do now is decorate the 2 1/2″ square on the card front. On a scrap of Basic White, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set in stamped-off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the more details flower patten with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Die cut the flower with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Stamp two sets of leaves in Evening Evergreen ink as it coordinates with the DSP :O). Die cut with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Attach the two leaf sets to the back of the flower with dimensionals. See photo.

Add more dimensionals to the back of the flower. Attach a length of the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent to the Basic White square. Attach flower over the ribbon to the Basic White square of the card front. With the card closed, add three large Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral, then two small Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Trifold Shutter Card with Fancy Flora

For the envelope… more Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap. For the envelope front, stamp the same flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set with stamped-off Calypso Coral ink, and the detail stamp with full strength Calypso Coral ink. DONE!!!

This DSP is retiring and it’s stunning. The ribbon is also retiring, as is Soft Suede card stock & ink, and Evening Evergreen ink. The Iridesent Pastel Gems are also retiring.

Since these items have been available for a bit, it’s best to check so you know exactly what is available. you may do that here. order from me here

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Flora Step Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 6, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the hop! This is a talented group of folks with whom I am privileged to participate. And this week we have a color challenge!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 3/6

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Color Challenge 3/6

The colors I chose were Orchid Oasis, Calypso Coral , and Soft Succulent . Plus of course, the Fancy Flora DSP that brings it all together. Here’s my Step Fun Fold.

I used Orchid Oasis as the card base, cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I also used the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP for the main focus. I wanted a continuity, all of it cut to piece together like a puzzle. And, I think it worked! I also stamped the flower in Calypso Coral ink and the leaves in Soft Succulent ink for the ferny kind of leaves, and Evening Evergreen ink for the 2 leaves. I used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set & Two-Tone Flora Dies to create the flowers & leaves. The sentiment is stamped using the Something Fancy stamp set with Orchid Oasis ink on a Basic White panel and die cut with the Something Fancy Dies. I added three small Pearl Basic Jewels around the die cut flower for a bit of femininity.

It stands like this…

Stampin' Up! Step Fun Fold.hop 3/6,side view

This is a side view when standing, so you can see how it folds and makes a ‘step’. It’s super easy, you just must be extra careful making the cuts correctly and the score lines. The template below should guide you.

It’s easier to show a template with score lines and cuts than to explain it. Here that is… dotted lines are score lines. You may need to enlarge this to see it better :O)

On the back of the card is Basic White panel stamped using the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and Orchid Oasis ink. Please understand, there are two places this panel could be placed: on the back as I did here, or on the inside. Since this card was going to my hubby’s sister, he got to choose the placement :O)

It’s clear here, the stamped panel for the back, the full card open (just not standing!), and the inside of the card – again where a stamped panel could be placed.

Stampin' Up! Step Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope, more of this gorgeous Fancy Flora DSP on the flap and some fun stamped flowers in Orchid Oasis ink from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set. Gorgeous, gorgeousness. Hope you like… my hubby was thrilled to send this to his sister.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Book Fold

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

Good Sunday morning – actually, Palm Sunday morning. Spring is definitely in the air. I ordered several Hellebores (Lenten Rose) and they arrived this week. It’s been too cold at night to plant them yet (30 degrees) and it’s best to try to acclimate plants a bit at a time anyway. Yesterday it was 60 degrees so I took them outside is a shaded sun area, then was able to leave them overnight as temps didn’t go too low. I was able to do the same with coleus I had rooted from last years plants then potted – and they look super this morning.

You did not join me to talk about plants… this is another book fold with By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP ( I was on a roll) but I used a seashell pattern and paired it with Friends are like Seashells bundle. Love this bundle & I’m sad it’s going away… but it is time to make room for new :O) I also used the Lasting Label Punch for the sentiment banner and Faux Sea Glass Shapes to decorate the banner – all of which will be retiring as of May 1. Don’t you love those Sea Glass Shapes?!

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells book fold

For this card I began with Night of Navy cut 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2 & 6 3/4. I adhered the section to the card back between 5 1/2 & 6 3/4 to create the book fold, then decorated the front panels. See the image below for how it should look.

Stampin' Up! Book Fold w/ Friends Are like Seashells

First a layer of Balmy Blue then a layer of the By the Bay 6×6 DSP. I pulled out the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle for the sentiment and a coordinating shell. I stamped the sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink on Basic White, punched it with the Lasting Labels Punch, then used a Coastal Cabana Marker to decorate the edge. For even more sea-likeness, I added the Faux Sea Glass Shapes. Aren’t they fun? I stamped the sea shell in Sahara Sand ink on another Basic White piece & die cut it with the Seaside Seashells Dies. I added the decorated label to the card front with dimensionals, then the seashell right beside it, also on dimensionals. Really & truly, the DSP does all the work on this card.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells inside

For the inside I kept it really simple… a strip of the DSP on the Basic White panel and that was it. Since the inside panel is only 4 x 4, there is not a lot of room, and with a sentiment as is on the front, a personal note is usually needed.

Stampin' Up! Friendas Are Like Seashells card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP on the flap and then some fun seashells from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the front: inks used were Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy & Balmy Blue, bringing out like colors of the DSP on the card front.

These are all retiring products: the By the Bay Specialty DSP, Friends Are Like Seashells bundle and the Fancy Label Punch and will go away as of May 1. As with all things retiring, there is a retiring list for both the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog AND the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. These items are available while supplies last… and the sale beings 4 April through 1 May.

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Book Fold Card

Posted on April 1, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning folks! It’s Saturday… and I have a masculine card for you using the By the Bay Designer Series Paper. This is for a gentleman who just had a hip replacement and is struggling with being able to do things. Thankfully he just began rehab, but he’s a bit ‘under the weather’ you might say. He’s a really big man and that’s part of the trouble… moving isn’t easy. So, a card for encouragement!

Isn’t this paper pretty? It’s also masculine and that helps me keep it simple. I really like how these papers coordinate and in corporate other shades of blue and bring in Sahara Sand and some sparkly as well. I used Wisteria Wishes stamp set for the sentiment and Night of Navy ink. To die cut, I used two dies from Something Fancy Dies (carrying over!) and die cut the larger in Night of Navy and the sentiment is Basic White. I wrapped Linen thread around each end of the Basic White piece (this fellow is a sailing friend and it fits), tied knots then added it to the Night of Navy piece with dimensionals. Then onto the card base with liquid glue. I added Sea Glass embellishments to tie in the colors of the DSP.

So… book fold how to:

Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 and 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines
Add adhesive to the area between score lines and secure to the unscored section of the card. And there you have it, the book fold!

My card base is Balmy Blue – a carry over color. :O) The layers on the card are Night of Navy (carry over color) and the DSP. I’ll put the measurements at the bottom of the post. For the inside Idid not add the layer of Night of Navy, but did add a 5/8 strip of the By the Bay DSP to the Basic
White panel.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay book fold, inside

This inside leaves plenty of room for words of personal encouragement for this gentleman. For the envelope, I again kept it really simple… more By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap and that was it. This man does not want fussy.

Blushing Bride
Pear Pizzazz
Mint Macaron

Stampin’ Up! Floating Panel Fun Fold

Posted on March 28, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again…I have two floating panel fun fold cards for you today… I couldn’t stop! One is made with the super cute At the Pond stamp set + Flowers & More HOST DSP paper pack. The other is made with Enjoy the Adventures Memories & More card pack, Flowers & More HOST DSP paper pack and Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Enjoy the Adventure Floating Panel Fun Fold

Stampin' Up! Enjoy the Adventures Floating Fun Fold, inside

Stampin' Up! Enjoy the Adventures Floating Panel Fun Fold card & envelope

This is the Enjoy the Adventures Floating Panel fun fold. The Mango Melody circle was die cut from one of the small cards in the memories & more card pack with the Stylish Shapes Dies and the black center is a sticker from the pack! The two were adhered together then added to the card panel with dimensionals. The other two stickers on the card front are the multi-colored arrow and the blue & black banner (I added a dab of glue to make sure they stayed in place.). The embellishments for the card front are Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Balmy Blue.

The inside of the card uses more stickers from the Enjoy the Adventure Memories & More card pack. The flower was added with dimensionals to help the card remain open.😁 The embellishment on the flower is a Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearl.

Stampin' Up! At the Pond Floating Panel Fun Fold

Stampin' Up! At the Pond Floating Panel card inside

This frog – and the others in the stamp set are just so sassy! They are a 2-step stamp for the frog & the log. I stamped the outline first, then the filler stamp in each case. The bugs on the card front were stamped in Memento ink and I filled the wings with color using a Light Balmy Blue Blends, then Wink of Stella. The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments & die cut with its coordinating dies.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the larger bug three times . Again a 2-step stamp, and the filler for the wings was Parakeet Party ink and Tahitian Tide ink. I added a single Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequin in Balmy Blue to each bug – and that sequin held the card open!

Instructions for these two cards may be found on a previous blog here, just change up the DSP and the floating front panel to suit your stamp set. 🥴😁 Isn’t it fun to see a variety of cards using the same layout – just changing stamps/ dies/ DSP, like that. They look so totally different.

Stampin’ Up! Playing in the Rain Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 23, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello everyone! It’s that time of week… for the blog hop!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday hop.3/23

Spring is in the air… daffodils are up as are Star Flower, crocus, Narcissus. Hellebores are really showing off (that’s a Lenten Rose if you didn’t know). And temps are rising, sort of… lots of wind – you know March! And here’s my card, a fun fold. It’s an off-set gatefold is what it is. And I really like the offset business.

This card begins with Balmy Blue card stock, scored on both ends, just not evenly 😀 Next I added Mango Melody adhered to each panel, then Rain or Shine DSP on top of that.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain, inside

Moving to the inside of the card, I adhered Rain or Shine DSP to each end panel. I then added Mango Melody to the center panel, I then took a piece of Basic White and stamped the sweet flowers at the bottom using the Playing in the Rain stamp set & Memento ink. I colored the flowers with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Blends, I stamped the raindrops, again from Playing in the Rain, in Balmy Blue ink. The sentiment also comes from Playing in the Rain and is stamped in Balmy Blue ink. This panel was adhered in the center panel and the inside was complete.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain fun fold with belly band

To make the belly band I cut a strip of Mango Melody in 1 x 91/4, wrapped it around the card loosely and adhered the ends together in the front. I removed the strip & burnished the folds of the band. I die cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies and another piece of the Rain or Shine DSP. I die cut a slightly smaller circle in Basic White for strength and adhered it to the back of the circle. This was adhered with glue to the belly band, covering the glued ends. I die cut directly from the Rain or Shine DSP, this sweet fox with the umbrella and adhered it with dimensionals to the circle.

Stampin' Up! Playing in the Rain fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Rain or Shine DSP for the flap; stamped flowers ( Memento ink) and rain drops (Balmy Blue ink) from Playing in the Rain stamp set ~ and the card & envelope were done! Such a cute card!!!

Stampin’ Up! Naturally Gilded and Blending Brushes

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

Good Tuesday morning. I’m using a new Designer Series Paper called Naturally Gilded Specialty Paper that can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. It’s wonderful for using Blending Brushes. It comes with copper, silver & gold designs and is beautiful. I chose today to use Blending Brushes to add color to the copper tone.

Stampin' Up! Naturally Gilded Specialty DSP

I began at the top of the paper blending in Daffodil Delight ink with the Blending Brush. Using the same brush, I then added Mango Melody ink. With a new brush I added Balmy Blue. I have my brushes using color tones for the similar colors and this works well for me. I adhered this to a panel of Copper Foil and set both aside to decide what to do next. This looks like a wildflower garden to me so I pulled out my Dragonfly Punch and it’s coordinating Dragonfly Garden stamp set. There are two dragonflies in this stamp set: one has a more solid, filled in body and the other is the one I chose to use. Using VersaMark ink, I stamped this on a scrap of Basic White, then Copper embossing powder to sprinkle over it, then heat set with the heat tool. I again pulled out my Blending Brushes, Daffodil Delight ink and Balmy Blue, but also brought out Pacific Point for a more vibrant butterfly. I added Daffodil Delight to the center portion of the dragonfly, then Balmy Blue on the outer wings and finally Pacific Point. The Pacific Point really brought the dragonfly to life as it is vibrant. Here’s what it looked like prior to using the punch.

Stampin' Up! Copper dragonfly with embossing powder & blending brushes

You can also notice how mixing the blue with the yellow creates some green on the dragonfly – and that’s ok! I did two of these, punched them with the Dragonfly Punch, then adhered them with mini dimensionals down the center. For the long tail, I trimmed a edge of a dimensional and attached it. I punched a tiny dragonfly from the copper foil. I used a sentiment from the stamp set to create the banner… VersaMark ink + copper embossing powder + heat tool. I punched this with my Double Oval Punch. I played around for a background color for both the card and the sentiment – and came up with Daffodil Delight for both. Yep, brought out the Double Oval Punch for the back of the oval. I attached the tiny copper foil dragonfly with a dab of liquid glue to the sentiment banner, then added dimensionals and placed it on the card front. I added the dragonflies. I had a length of Baker’s Twine on my desk in White, so pullled out my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and colored it, folded it in half to make a double bow and attached it with a dab of glue, also to the banner. I added several dimensionals to the back of this slimline panel of Naturally Gilded Paper & Copper foil and added it to a Daffodil Delight card base.

Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Garden for the inside

For the card’s inside, I stamped this array of wildflowers and hovering dragonflies using Memento ink and stamps from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set. I haven’t used this set in a bit and I love it. But then, we just had winter so it seemed inappropriate. Now that it’s officially Spring – bring it on! OK, getting carried away… these were stamped on a Basic White panel then adhered to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, I used this same field flower stamp to stamp the left front but forgot to take a photo. There are slimline envelopes in the catalog and I used a white one :O) Card cuts will be listed at the end of this post.
