Stampin’ Up! Show off for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 13, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to today’s hop! We have a sketch challenge today and it was really hard for me to decide just what to showcase – so many new products I want to share. I had recently played with this DSP & well, it tugged at me.

This DSP is just so pretty! I love the colors, flowers (sunflowers & more) and checks – so perfectly fall. These are from a suite of products on page ___ in the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog. The other product in the suite that I used are the Radiant Gems (there are 3). The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie on Very Vanilla then fussy cut w/ my paper snips. The backgrounds for all the designer series papers is Cajun Craze and the card base is Pecan Pie. Measurements may be found at the end of this post.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower Fields card front

And here’s the inside… look at that beautiful sunflower – that’s from the coordinating stamp set called Radiant Sunflowers – all from the Sep-Dec 2026 Catalog. The stamp set has coordinating dies but I did not use them on this card. The layers are Cajun Craze & Very Vanilla.

For the envelope… Here’s that beautiful sunflower again – on the envelope front. I stamped it in Pecan Pie then used the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush on the petals & light Pecan Pie for the center – same as the sunflower on the inside of the card.

This could so easily be a masculine card even though there are flowers. The colors just fit! It could be sympathy or it could be birthday – just add the appropriate sentiment. 😀

Stampin’ Up! Floating Gatefold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 6, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Today is such a FUN FOLD blog hop 😀, I can’t wait to see what others on the team have created. I have two versions of the floating gatefold and will give you measurements for both. One is made with the Framed Violets bundle and it’s coordinating DSP called Violet Dreams. The other is with a bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE that is older and just too cute.. Cutest Crew – and Beautiful Ordinary Life 12×12 DSP. You can use so many different papers or bundles for this fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew Floating gatefold open — Card 1 – Cutest Crew/ Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP

Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold open — Card 2 – Framed Violets/ Violet Dreams DSP

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew gatefold w/ belly band — Card 1 – Cutest Crew w/ belly band

Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold w/ belly band — Card 2 – closed w/ belly band

Notice how very different the fold lines are and the width of the belly band on each card.

Stampin' Up! Cutest Crew floating gatefold w/ belly band off to side

Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Floating Gatefold w/ belly band off to the side

And here’s a photo taken from the top of this gatefold card. Both cards are the same in a top-down look, so only one photo is shown.

Directions for putting this gate fold together…

Do stamping prior to attaching the Basic White pieces ~ for center panels & back (for writing your stuff!)
Burnish all score lines: card base ~ mountain, valley, valley, mountain; floating section ~ mountain, valley, valley, mountain.
Centering floating piece top to bottom, add to the last fold on right butting fold of floating section against fold of card base.
Do the same on the left side, centering top to bottom.
Add final piece of DSP over this attached floating element
Wrap belly band around closed card and add glue to each end to attach together. DO NOT LET IT STICK TO THE CARD!!! 😀
Decorate belly band

We’re making these two cards in card class today ~ both really quite easy & they give a real bang to the receiver. If you make this Floating gatefold – please share a photo with me!

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek Radiant Sunflowers for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 30, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday & the wonderful Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! If you hopped right in, hello, hello. If you’ve joined me after visiting Tara, I’m glad you are making the rounds. We have a sketch challenge today and I had everything planned as to what I wanted to share… then my pre-order for the 2026 Sep-Dec Catalog arrived on my doorstep. 😀 I simply could not wait to share. This Designer Series Paper – the Sunflower Fields 12 x 12 is stunning… I love every piece, both front & back.

The card base is Cajun Craze with a layer of Very Vanilla then a layer of one of one the papers in the pack. Next I turned the paper over & using a die in the Radiant Sunflowers Dies, cut the rectangle. On a scrap of Very Vanilla I die cut the vase using the Radiant Sunflower Dies then stamped the flower using the coordinating Radiant Sunflowers stamp set. I colored the flower with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends on the leaf and the Shimmer brush in Golden Glow on the flower. The vase & flower were lightly attached to the rectangle with dimensionals and the rectangle was added to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Very Vanilla in Early Espresso ink using the same Radiant Sunflowers stamp set, cut a banner end and attached it with dimensionals. I slipped a Gingham Ribbon to bring out the green on the leaves, then added Radiant Gems to the sentiment. Everything from the Sunflower Fields Suite in the new 2026 Sep-Dec Catalog – items available beginning of Sep. Stay tuned!

For the inside… On a Very Vanilla panel I stamped the sunflower in Golden Glow then the sentiment over it in Early Espresso.

For the envelope – more of the Sunflower Fields 12×12 on the flap and another sunflower stamped on the front in Golden Glow. What a gorgeous suite of products! You are going to love it!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Meadow for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

We had quite an unexpected storm Tuesday night – lots of lightening way too close & thunder of course. I love the roll of thunder, but did I mention the lightening was close?! Today is Thursday – Welcome to our hop! We have a color challenge today & I chose to work with the luscious Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP. It’s garden fresh 😀

Stampin' Up! Flowering Meadow card front

The Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP is so wonderful, it deserves to be center stage. I backed it with a panel of Peaceful Pine then added those with dimensionals to the Berry Burst card base. I made a few die cuts for flowers (Basic White, & Berry Burst) then a stem from Peaceful Pine (it’s hard to see!), then stamped flower centers in Daffodil delight & die cut those. Once the centers were on the flowers I used the White Gel Pen to add some dots for texture emphasis. Flowers were added with dimensionals. I tied a double loop bow from Linen thread & added it to the back of the stamped sentiment punched with the triple punch (ink is Berry Burst & from the Flowering Meadow stamp set). The sentiment was also added with dimensionals. Final touch… Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Meadow inside card

For the inside… the sentiment is again from Flowering Meadow stamp set, stamped in Peaceful Pine on a Basic White panel. The flowers are stamped-off once Berry Burst, flower centers Daffodil Delight – and again using the White Gel Pen to add highlights. The panel was added to Peaceful Pine then attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Meadow card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Velvet Meadow SDSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, a leaf image stamped three times without re-inking.

Stampin’ Up! Festive Cheer Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 16, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our hop! It’s Thursday & we have a sketch challenge this week. I’m using a ‘new to me’ stamp bundle called Festive Cheer. I’m loving all the images & dies in the set :O)

My card begins with a Cherry Cobbler card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Two layers were added: Peaceful Pine & 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery 12×12. I set these aside to do stamping & die cuts using the Festive Cheer bundle from the July ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Yes, I have begun that Christmas card plunge! Die cuts were made using the Festive Cheer Dies and Velveteen Assortment 12×12 Specialty Paper for two pine fronds; Cherry Cobbler card stock with a backing of Adhesive Sheet for the NOEL; Gold foil for the berries. I stamped the ornament in VersaMark, sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic gold embossing powder & heat set then die cut once cooled. I also die cut from gold foil, the hanger and the ornament top.

The letters NOEL were attached to a Basic White strip that had Peaceful Pine behind it for definition. These we4re added with dimensionals. The pine frond was added with a dimensional at the left end and liquid glue on the stem end. The berries were added with dots of liquid glue. The ornament was added with liquid glue and a mini dimensional at the top.

For the inside I stamped the sentiment from Festive Cheer in Peaceful {ine ink, then the ornamets in Cherry Cobbler ink and the ornament top in Pecan Pie ink. This Basic White panel was added to a Peaceful Pine then to the inside of the card. Voila! Ready to send, but of course it is only July!!! In the stack it goes. 😀

Stampin' Up! Festive Cheer card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery attached with Stampin’ Seal to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front the sentiment was stamped three times in Peaceful Pine ink. Interestingly I only used the Festive Cheer bundle for this card – no additional sentiments from another set. So, love that!

Stampin’ Up! Wild Bunch Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on July 14, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello & happy Tuesday! Welcome to our hop… the theme is a fun fold card so you’ll see lots of creativity today. If this little snail doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will! It’s just plain c-u-t-e! So this is really a Bookmark Side Panel Card. And that bookmark is on the right with the 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Hydrangea Hue. It slips in & out of that small embossed ‘sleeve’ (this was as scrap I had from …..) The card base is Hydrangea Hue & the DSP is Painted Patterns 2026-2028 In Color, Hydrangea Hue.

Stampin' Up! Wild Bunch fun fgold card front

How to make this card…

card base is 8 1/4 x 5 1/2
- with short side at the top at the 1″ mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 to 5 1/4″; repeat on opposite side
- with long side at top, score in between the cut lines 1, 2, & 5 1/4. Burnish score lines
- with same long side at top, score @ 4 1/4 on the outside edges of the cut lines.
- with same long side at top, score @ 6 1/4 the full 5 1/2″ (the bookmark will fit between 6 1/4 & 8 1/4 area)
- cut & scored, it will look as in the top/down photo below

To decorate with DSP:

cut DSP 4 x 5 1/4 & 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 – trim these leaving 3/4″ in shape of squared C – (with short side @ top & line up @ 3/4″ on right side of trimmer, cut from 3/4 to 4 1/2; repeat for the other two sides
cut 2 – 3 x 3 1/4 for panel insert on front & back of card
cut 1 1/2 x 5 for bookmark
3/4 x 1 3/4 ‘sleeve’ for bookmark (mine is an embossed strip)
2 1/4 x I 6 for envelope flap

Basic White panels:

cut 2 – 2 3/4 x 3 for stamping (front) or for your own words (back)
1 1/2 x 5 for bookmark

The above photo is the back of this card.

To decorate the small Basic White panels: stamp the snail in Memento black ink and color with Stampin’ Blends with Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped in Hydrangea Hue and comes from the same stamp set as the snail – Wild Bunch – a SU! June POTM (Product of the month). The checkered portion is also in Crumb Cake ink and from the Wild Bunch stamp set. The front of the envelope is stamped the same way, all across the bottom. This is just so friendly and could be masaculine or feminine – and could be for a child also!

– Instructions on how to use the system

– Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock. Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.

– The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, 10 July 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.

– A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!). You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.

– The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.

– Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock. So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!

– IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

AND… while I had ended the double Daisy Rewards – I’m re-instituting that – so double your fun. DOUBLE REWARDS through July 13, 2026 + for orders $50 & up, the monthly tutorial.

All first-time demonstrators (beginning July 1, 2026) will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Hot Foils Fun Fold with Valley in Blooms DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 9, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome welcome. Oh it is so energizing to try new products and new fun folds, etc. etc. I think we have a treat for you today.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Flight Fun Fold card front, folded

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Flight Hot Foil fun fold, another view

Let’s look more closely at this card with some other photos.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Flight Hot Foil fun fold, flat

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Hot Foil fun fold, flat, other side

What’s neat about this fun fold is the way it opens and flips or flaps one way or the other while the center remains intact. It’s hard to describe, but it can close either way & it fits in a standard A2 envelope.

How to make this card… and it might help to do a template first! This is called a flip-flap card.

Card base is 6 3/4 x 5 1/2. Mark all four sides lightly with a pencil at the 1 1/4″ mark.
With the long side at top, score at 2 3/4 & 4″ both above & below the 1 1/4″ mark
With the long side at top and the right edge at the 1 1/4 mark on the right side of the paper trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 4 1/4″ (or the pencil mark). Follow this with long side at top for the opposite side.
With short side at top & the right edge of paper at the 1 14″ mark on the right side of the trimmer, cut from 1 1/4″ to 2 3/4″. Flip paper over & with short side at top, do same on opposite end.
You have now connected the cuts, leaving the center held at top & bottom between the scored areas of 2 3/4″ & 4″ 😀
Burnish the scores as mountain & valley.
Now you may decorate! Be sure to erase your pencil lines prior to adding your DSP pieces 😁 Long panels on both right & left are 1 1/8 x 5 3/8 (cut 2 for front & 2 for back. Add these with adhesive of choice. Short sections at top & bottom are the same dimensions: 1 3/8 x 1 1/8, 1 1/8 x orate.1 1/8 & 1 3/8 x 1 1/8. Cut 4 of each for both front & back. Adhere appropriately. The center section is 4 1/8 x 2 7/8 (cut 2 – one for front & one for back). Adhere & decorate.
You can see I used the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP & the Lily of the Valley stamp set for the one sentiment (to one of the nicest people I know) stamped in Garden Green ink. The colored butterflies were done using the Hot Foil machine on Willow White paper then colored after the foil process with Stamp[in’ Blends: Blackberry Bliss & Pool Party. The small foil dies were die cut from Gold Foil using the Butterfly Flight Dies. The happy birthday sentiment was made with the hot foil system using White Will & of course the gold foil for the system & heated then die cut – Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies. All butterflies were added with dimensionals.

For the envelope…only the flap was decorated – using a pattern from the Valley In Bloom 12×12 DSP.

Slipped under the flowers are leaves stamped from Pretty Poinsettia stamp set & die cut with the coordinating dies… on Basic White and on Peaceful Pine – all stamped in Peaceful Pine ink and added with liquid glue. The flower centers are embellishment – 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow then Petal Pink by the sentiment.The sentiment is stamped using the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set in Peaceful Pine ink and attached with mini dimensionals on the ends only.

Stampin’ Up! Waterside Retreat DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on June 25, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday and this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You’ll see some creative stuff today I’m sure. We have a color challenge and it’s perfect for the Waterside Retreat DSP – all the colors in the challenge are used 😀.

The cards front image was cut out directly from the patterned paper and added to a background of Pecan Pie. Another pattern in the Waterside Retreat DSP was added to the Pool Party card base., then the picture image pieces were attached with dimensionals. I cut out a single oar from another piece of the Waterside Retreat & attached it with liquid glue and a small dimensional on the oar ends. I added the Loose Anchor Trinket with glue dots after adding a length of Linen Thread & tying it in a knot – all with glue dots. Then I cut three lengths of of card stock 1/2 x 2 1/4 (Basic White, Pool Party & Pecan Pie), created pointy ends layered then together with dabs of glue then slipped them under one end of the trinket attaching with a dab of glue. Oh – and the sentiment… from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set stamped in Pecan Pie ink.

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat DSP Masculine card

This is just a perfect masculine card for many occasions… could be birthday, retirement, promotion – just lots of opportunities. There are so many parts of this card that I like: the added trinket, the three (3) banners, the oar, the SCENE! It’s peaceful, calm, nothing demanding about it. It ‘rests’ easily. This DSP – Waterside Retreat – is just so special – it can be masculine or it could be feminine. While I called this a masculine card in a ‘tag’, it doesn’t have to be. This could be anyone who appreciates fishing, being on the water for any reason, relaxing, watching birds & the life of a place like this – a camp maybe..

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat inside card

For the inside … a Basic White panel attached to Pecan Pie and added to the inside of the card base. Then a life vest fussy cut with paper snips added with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat DSP card & envelope

The envelope … more of the Waterside Retreat DSP on the flap trimmed to fit. For the front seagulls were stamped in stamped off once Gray Granite ink.

Stampin’ Up! Artisan Sketched Garden DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog Hop

Posted on June 18, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday & our fabulous hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I played with the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP to create this beautiful card – that & the Shimmer Brushes to color the flowers.

And here’s my card. I took a piece of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP – it’s an all black & white images pack that I love!- and cut it to 4 1/4 x 4 1/2. Then I set about coloring it with the Shimmer Brushes… Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow and finally Hydrangea Hue. I added this to a Crisp cantaloupe card base 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2. I took the backside of this same paper and cut two strips 1/4″ wide and added these top & bottom. I stamped thre sentiment using the Words & Wishes stamp set in Memento ink on a Basic White strip, added a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe to the bottom, and angled the one end, attached dimensionals to the back & set it aside to make a double bow from Black Baker’s Twine (it comes in a pack of 5 different colors). This was attached to the back of the sentiment panel with a glue dot, then the strip was added to the card front. Final touch – three 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe.

For the inside of the card I stamped another sentiment from Words & Wishes stamp set in Memento ink on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, then added another strip of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP. To finish this off, I cut out a vase from another one of the papers in this fabulous pack & colored it: Cloud Cover for the water and Shimmer Brush in Crisp Cantaloupe for the flowers – then attached as though the polka dot strip were a table.

Stampin' Up! Artisan Sketched Garden inside card

Stampin' Up! Artisan Sketched Garden card & envelope

For the envelope – same coloring on the same pattern of flowers from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. And another sentiment from the same Words & Wishes stamp set was stamped in the lower left front of the envelope. Done & ready to send to someone fabulous!
