Posted on March 9, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

.Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You may come from the creative Tara or simply hopped in here. However you arrived, we’re glad you came. We have a color challenge today and when I saw the challenge I immediately went to my DSP stash to see what ‘fit the bill’. I hope you like the card.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park Gatefold. hop 3/9

The only color missing in this Designer Series Paper is Coastal Cabana ~ and the paper is called Regency Park 6×6 DSP. I’ve used Petal Pink as my card base with Night of Navy on each of the side panels under the Designer Series Paper. The focal point is the decoration on the belly band. I first die cut the larger piece in Night of Navy, then die cut several flowers: Night of Navy, Basic White and a single Petal Pink. Once I adhered the small flowers to the Night of Navy , I die cut a Basic White piece to add the sentiment. The sentiment comes from Sentimental Park stamp set and is stamped in Night of Navy ink. I adhered this piece to the Night of Navy decorated piece with Stampin’ Seal, slipping it under the flowers. It worked perfectly. I then added a bow with the Bordered Ribbon, which is Night of Navy. After making the bow I trimmed down the center of the ribbon so that it looked softer. I adhered this to the sentiment panel with a glue dot.

Back to the card base… cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, I score on the long side at 2 1/8, then fold the opposite side over to meet it. Sometimes when I score each long side at 2 1/8, there is a gap, and I didn’t want that. Night of Navy panels were added to each small panel, then a piece of the Regency Park was adhered over that. Because the belly band is the show piece on this card, I completed that by wrapping a 1 x 9 1/2 strip of Night of Navy around the card, overlapping in front and securing the ends together with Stampin’ Seal. I added the decorated sentiment banner to the front (right on the 1″ strip) with Stampin’ Seal. I removed the completed belly band to finish the inside of the card.

For the inside, I added more pieces of the Regency Park DSP showing off a Balmy Blue design.on each panel. For the center panel I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink – still from the Sentimental Park stamp set. Then I stamped the flower ‘bouquet’ in Petal Pink ink in two places, surrounding the sentiment. The ‘bouquet’ is also park of the Sentimental Park stamp set. I adhered the Basic White panel to the center of the inside and the card was done.

For the envelope… more of the same design of Regency Park 6×6 DSP as on the card front for the flap, trimmed tom fit. Across the front I adhered a strip of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP pattern in Balmy Blue to coordinate perfectly with the card.

I love how this turned out – the contrasts in color compliment each other nicely and show off the banner too.

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Suite for the Happy Inkin’ Krew Thursday Blog Hop

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

Happy Thursday – and you know what that means… a really fun blog hop with the Happy Inkin’ Krew! We have a great sketch challenge today.

I have chosen to use several items from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE suite of products called the Irresistible Blooms Suite. The Designer Series Papers in this suite are absolutely stunning ~ and they are my focus for this card. The stamps are amazing as well, but I chose to primarily use the DSP for this card.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Suite.1

I absolutely love the rather watercolored background with the pattern/ design in white on this particular DSP. I began with a Petal Pink card base, then adhered a Soft Sea Foam panel that was run through the Stitched Greenery Die. I attached a Petal Pink strip to the Hello, Irresistible 6×6 DSP and added that with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set, stamped in VersaMark ink and sprinkled with White embossing powder and heat set – on a Basic Black strip. I created the ends with paper snips. This was added with Stampin’ Seal, then the wonderful Loose Frosted Dots (in Pink) were added to the sentiment banner. And the card front was done!

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Suite. hop 3/2.2

For the inside I took another of the papers from the Hello, Irresistible 6×6 DSP and added it to the Petal Pink card base. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink, again using the Happiness Abounds stamp set. This Basic White panel was adhered to another Petal Pink strip (as on the card front), and affixed to the inside. A triple leaf die, (Irresistible Blooms Dies) cut from another of the Hello, Irresistible 6×6 DSP was adhered to the panel.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Suite.hop.3

For the envelope, a left-over piece from the card front DSP panel was added to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit (Hello, Irresistible 6×6 DSP). For the envelope front, another triple leaf die cut from the Hello, Irresistible 6×6 DSP was adhered in the corner – and the card is ready for posting in the mail! Remember, these are mostly ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products and cannot be found in a paper catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Hello, hello. Golly, it’s Thursday already and nearing the end of February – yikes! We have a fun theme challenge today… Welcome to the hop… you may have come from the creative Tara Carpenter or simply popped in here. Enjoy the hop!

Stampin' Up Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Theme Challenge

I’ve chosen to use butterflies on my card today, using the die from Designer Tags Dies and the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Glimmer Paper. I’ve also used Hues of Happiness DSP with lots of wonderful colors to bring it all together. And layers… a piece of Basic White run through the Stripes 3D embossing folder (from Stripes & Splashes 3D set) and a strip of scallops from the Penned Flowers Dies and a leafy spray from the Dainty Delight Dies (trimmed to use a long piece on top and the shorter end at the bottom under the scallop… and lets not forget the Stylish Shapes Dies for the circles. So I pulled from a lot of different places and love the finished look.

Stampin' Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies.1

For embellishment I used Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems in Gorgeous Grape. One of the wonderful things about nature is color – lots of it and lots of shades of one color or another. You can see that in the Hues of Happiness DSP.The front sentiment comes from Happiness Abounds stamp set that coordinates with the DSP. It’s a general greeting and this card could easily be used for birthday, to a sympathy card. I fussy cut the sentiment by the way, after stamping it in Orchid Oasis ink.

Stampin' Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies.2

For the inside, really simple… a 1/2″ strip of the same Hues of Happiness DSP adhered near the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies.3

Goodness, this photo is ever so dark! Again, I kept the envelope quite simple with a strip of Hues of Happiness DSP on the flap trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

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

Good Tuesday morning and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Appreciate your loved ones, all of them. Send them a note or give them a call, whatever works for you. It’s never too late to let folks know you care about them. Thank you for joining me today – remember, I care about you! And welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group!

Today’s card plays along with the challenge for this week – a birthday card. And it’s a Diamond Flip card that’s fun to do, and did I say easy?

Gosh, the photo is a bit dark… but isn’t this a sweet card? Here’s a photo of it unfolded showing the outside.

And here’s one of it folded showing the inside. Notice the diamond on the left is ‘flipped’, or folded.

And one more photo… this one shows the front again, with the diamond fold to the inside. This way you clearly see how it’s all put together.

Directions:

Cut card base (here I used Granny Apple Green) 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 2 1/8 & 5 1/2
On the 2 1/8 end, mark the center point, on the short side which happens to be 2 1/8.
Fold card in half – on the 5 1/2 score line
Cut from the 2 1/8 score line to the point mark on a diagonal, going through both layers.
Now do the other cut from 2 1/8 score line to point. By cutting both ends at the same time, this makes the ends exactly the same!
Cut a 3″ square, also from Granny Apple Green, and adhere to the 2 1/8 end, adhering just to score line. This allows that end to be flexible.And this is the end to be decorated.
- Add a 2 7/8″ square, this time in a coordinating color or Basic White. I chose Textured Shimmer Paper in Balmy Blue
- Stamp the floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride ink, then die cut with coordinating die from Organic Beauty Dies.
- Stamp the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink using True Beauty stamp set. Die cut with coordinating die using Organic Beauty Dies
- Adhere the floral image with dimensionals to the now diamond. Slip the leaves under this a bit and adhere with liquid glue.
- Cut a banner 1/2 x 3 1/4 and stamp with sentiment from Sentimental Park stamp set, in Merry Merlot ink. Slip banner just under flower and adhere with liquid glue.
- Add bow ribbon with glue dot: Twill Ribbon Combo Pack in Old Olive
- Add Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink (Jan-Apr Mini Catalog)
- Cover floral image with Wink of Stella
Add Balmy Blue panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/8 to card front
Add Awash In Beauty DSP over Balmy Blue, 3 1/8 x 4 1/8

For the inside

Add a 3 1/8 x 4 panel of the Awash in Beauty DSP to the panel on left
Stamp the sentiment using Sentimental Park stamp set and Merry Merlot ink on the Basic White panel (3 1/8 x 4)
Stamp the flower in Blushing Bride ink using the True Beauty stamp set, cover in Wink of Stella then add more Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink
Cut a 2 7/8 square from Awash in Beauty DSP, cut in half creating two triangles. Adhere to each inside end

This card fits perfectly in a regular size envelope and I forgot to take a photo! However… here’s what I did… Cut another piece of Awash in Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6, add to envelope flap & trim to fit. Stamp a floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride, adding a bit of Merry Merlot to the center with your finger or a sponge dauber, then stamp on front of envelope. Cover with Wink of Stella.

Can’t wait to see what you create with this Diamond Flip Card – please do share with me! Such a treat… Now, it’s time to move forward on the hop – or go to previous if you like. Use the appropriate ‘buttons’ below or click on a name to take you on to others. Enjoy – and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY again!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello and WELCOME to this fun Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. You may have come from the fabulous Tara Carpenter or simply hopped in right here. However you arrived, may you enjoy making the rounds of those participating today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Color Challenge

So, I have to laugh at myself & share it with you… I made a card for this blog hop, but when I went to do all the necessary ‘work’ of plugging in the challenge, I realized I made the card for NEXT WEEKS blog hop 😀 How funny is that! So I pulled out a card I hadn’t posted yet and here we go. It’s one we are working on in card class today.

Stampin' Up! P;laying In The Rain hop 2/9

This card is made with the Playing in the Rain stamp set and the Picture This Dies + Rain or Shine DSP. It was super fun to make as the Playing In The Rain stamp set is full of cuteness.

Die cut the Rain or Shine DSP with the Picture This Dies. DSP is 4 x 5 1/4
Place this over a Basic White panel 1/8″ smaller & trace lightly the various circles. in pencil
Decide where & what images you want to use from the Playing In The Rain stamp set then stamp with Memento ink in the various circles. It’s ok to go outside the circle but use a post it note to cover a circle if you think it would stamp in it. see photo

Stampin' Up! Plsaying In The Rain.help 2

Color images as desired. I used Stampin’ Blends Mango Melody, Cajun Craze & Old Olive for the flowers/ leaves; I used Flirty Flamingo for the rabbit and Old Olive, Mango Melody and Cajun Craze on the turtle image. I also die cut a bow tie in Basic Black using one of the balloon bow dies. 👍😀
Stamp the sentiment from Playing In The Rain in Smoky Slate ink
Erase any remaining pencil marks.
Now lay the die cut Rain or Shine DSP over this panel & adhere in place.
Put dimensionals on the back and adhere to a Smoky Slate A2 card base.
Add the loose Daisy Assortment to the sentiment – and the card front is done!

For the inside…

Stamp the fox, puddles and sentiment in Memento ink
Stamp the raindrops in Smoky Slate ink
Color the fox, umbrella and puddles with Stampin’ Blends: Cajun Craze for the umbrella, Mango Melody for the rain hat & coat, Smoky Slate for the fox and puddles
Add to inside of card & voila!

For the envelope… More Rain or Shine DSP on the flap trimmed to fit; and a Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend colored umbrella on the front. The umbrella is stamped in Memento ink & comes from Playing in The Rain Stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

We have a theme challenge for today’s hop – love. I don’t tend to be a big Valentine sender/ giver, but I really like this Country Bouquet Bundle. I’ve taken a bit of a modern approach without DSP.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle. Th.hoop 1/26

Silver heat embossing, a bit of scoring and some gorgeous Simply Elegant Trim in silver highlight this card. And of course, the heart uses the Country Bouquet Punch from the Country Bouquet Bundle. The words and hearts are from the Country Bouquet stamp set.

The ‘how to’:

Begin with a card base of Thick Basic White scored in half. This can work as 8 1/2 x 5 1/2scored at 4 1/4 or 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
Using the Scoring Tool and the back side of a Basic White panel, create five score lines. Why the back side? Scoring creates an indentation and I wanted the scoring to be raised. After scoring, turn card stock over & bingo!
On a piece of Basic White, rub the piece with the embossing buddy to remove finger prints or anything that would cause the embossing powder to attach itself; stamp the hearts from Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink; sprinkle with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Once cool, punch with the Country Bouquet Punch and set both hearts aside.
Determine where on the card front panel the large heart will be placed, rub entire right side of card with the embossing buddy. Stamp the two open hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set with VersaMark ink, then the words ‘for you’. Sprinkle both with silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
Add large heart with dimensionals.
Add silver bow using the Simply Elegant Trim and adhering with a scrunched glue dot.
Add three Pearl Basic Jewels for additional elegance.
Add this panel to a Silver Foil Specialty Paper panel slightly larger, then add to card front. Done!

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.inside

For the inside, I added a length of Silver Foil Specialty paper to the left side with liquid glue, cleaned the area to be stamped with the embossing buddy, inked the sentiment with VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and heat set. The smaller heart that was stamped & punched at the same time as the larger heart was added with liquid glue. This panel was added to the inside of the card and all done.

Stampin' Up! Country Bouquet Bundle Th. hop 1/26.3

For the envelope, I again used the embossing buddy to clean an area for the enclosed hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set; stamped them with VersaMark ink and sprinkled with the silver embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. For the envelope flap, I wanted a soft pink so added a piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP (FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!)

I hope you liked my card. Now you have seen my gem, I hope you will travel along the hop to visit everyone else participating today. Click the ‘next’ button or a name to visit. ENJOY!

Stampin Up! Fancy Flora Sympathy for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 19, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the weekly Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop… and we have a sketch challenge today.

You may have come from the fabulous Tara or you may have jumped right in here… however you arrived, welcome! You will find some mighty fine creations today, so make the rounds and enjoy.

tam

Fun sketch and pretty easy to follow. My card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Sahara Sand angled ‘catywompas’. The top layer is the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP, also angled. I stamped the sentiment using Soft Suede ink and the Two-Tone Flora stamp set on a Basic White piece. This was die cut with the sentiment die from Ginkgo Branch Dies. I love the detail on this die! A length of Grosgrain Ribbon in Pool Party was folded and added with Stampin’ Seal+ then dimensionals were added to the back of the sentiment & attached to the card front. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party were attached to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora DSP Sympathy.Th.hop

For the inside… the flowers were stamped in Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen using the Two-Tone Flora stamp set. I used a Soft Suede Marker to add some swirls. The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede using a saying from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set. The Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card and – done!

Stampin’ Up! Country Floral Suite for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 12, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome! Such an exciting time with new SU! products to create and share. I’ve chosen to use products from the Country Floral Lane Suite to meet the color challenge.

And… drum roll… here’s my card:

Stampin' Up! Country Floral Lane Suite.hop.1

I’ve used all new products in the Country Floral Lane Suite – and they are so F-U-N! I didn’t want a Valentine’s card, but I DID want hearts & friendship & bicycles. The items in this suite of products include: County Bouquet Bundle (includes punch), Real Red and Burlap Ribbon pack, Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins (Gold, Petal Pink & Balmy Blue – I used all 3!), Country Gingham 6×6 DSP and Country Floral Lane 12×12 DSP. What an awesome combination of products. I love the plaid of the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP,; love the fact the punch is not a quite a traditional shape; love the ribbon pack as well ~ what’s not to love about this suite?! The hearts along the Real Red Ribbon are on dimensionals; then sequins added to the DSP. The linen thread was added with a glue dot and really add a fun flare to this card (at least to me it does!)

Stampin' Up! Country Floral Lane Suite.hop.2

For the inside… I adhered a strip of the Country Floral Lane 12×12 DSP to the edge of a Basic White panel, then stamped the sentiment from Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink, then added the punched hearts & leaves using the Country Bouquet Punch along with the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP. This panel was adhered to the inside of the card and – done!

Stampin' Up! Country Floral Laane Suite.hop.3

The envelope was easy peasy… more of the Country Floral 12×12 DSP to the envelope flap and stamped hearts in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Country Bouquet stamp set.

Now it’s time to visit the others on the hop & see what fun cards they are sharing. Click on the next button to visit the talented Carol Buckalew or click on a name to visit another post. Whichever you chose, don’t miss anyone ❤️

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek Desert Details Bundle for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on December 13, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to a Tuesday hop with Amy’s Krew! The theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that however…,I’ve created what I consider a masculine card with this delightfully fun Desert Details Bundle available in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, so Jan 5! I can’t believe I’m writing 2023 on stuff – ‘cuz I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

The Desert Details Bundle is very Aztec’y’, different & delightful (‘cuz it is different). I’ve used Designer Series Papers from the suite of products and an embellishment from the suite as well: Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP & Dry-Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP (also 12×12); Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins .

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Celebrate. blog hop 12/13

This doesn’t give a very good image of the center DSP – let’s try another photo…

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Celebrate. blog hop 12/13.2

Here ya go – now you can see the inner DSP a bit better. Look at that wonderful detail! The colors in the various papers of this particular DSP are Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. The polka dot in the background is one of the papers, as is the shiny (this is the Dry-Brushed Specialty DSP!) AND the center paper as well (Delicate Desert DSP). Aren’t they F-U-N? And you see I added a copper trim. And those wonderful embellishments are Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins. Here’s what I created on the inside.

Here you can see two of the very decorative long stamps – stamped in Gray Granite. The sentiment is also part of the Desert Details stamp set and is stamped in Soft Succulent. The very thin strips were remnants from the copper die cut on the front and I had to use them. Unfortunately the more detailed strip isn’t on straight, but can see how very cool it is.

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful detail stamp in Gray Granite near the edge of the envelope, then added more of the Delicate Desert DSP to the flap. This is just a wonderful masculine card. I love the layers of it and all the detail, yet it can so easily be sent to a man. Let’s take a quick peek at the bundle and a closer look at the DSP used.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Chic DSP and More for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 8, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday to you! Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop with a fun sketch challenge.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 12/8

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge 12/8

Time is quickly nearing Christmas – how many days? I’m not going to count, it’s too scary! We have our tree up & decorated and I finally found the tree skirt :O) I put it away in a different place last year but couldn’t remember just where that was :O( We don’t usually put our tree up quite so early (it’s fresh cut) but hubby is having knee replacement surgery next week and everything will go on hold for a bit. I’m hoping to continue posting regularly but we’ll see. My goal is to prep ahead so I can give him all the time necessary, but … there’s always a but.

Today’s card uses two main stamp bundles: both the Seasoned Chic with Chic Dies and Christmas Banners with Christmas Banners Dies.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.1

The card base is a typical A2 tent card on it’s side with Evening Evergreen. I’ve layered a panel of Textured Chic 12 x 12 DSP on Basic White and adhered it to the card front, leaving a border both top & bottom. Next I used the splendid Chic Dies to die cut snowflakes from Basic White and Soft Succulentcard stocks. Then I stamped the banner on Basic White with Soft Succulent ink and the Christmas Banners stamp set. The words on the banner are also Soft Succulent ink and come from the Christmas Banner stamp set. I attached the banner to the card front with dimensionals then added the snowflakes with liquid glue, glue dots or dimensionals.nFor a bit of extra glam and to bring in another color, I used the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and love the subtle contrast!

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.2

For the inside, snowflakes from the Season of Chic stamp set stamped randomly in Soft succulent ink. The sentiment comes from the Season of Chic stamp set and is in Evening Evergreen ink. All this on a Basic White panel then secured into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.3

For the envelope, a coordinating panel of the Textured Chic DSP for the flap and a few more snowflakes from Season of Chic stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on the front – and done! This card has a real elegance and simplicity at the same time: soft colors and not too fussy. This would an easy card to replicate if necessary.

Now – time to move along the hop to the fabulous Carol Buckalew. Either click on the ‘next’ button or on a name if you prefer to hop around.
