Stampin’ Up! Take To The Sky for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 2, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday and another fun and Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! We have a color challenge today – can you figure out what colors I used? HA! I’ve used new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog products – Take to the Sky DSPand the Adventurous Sky Bundle plus Industrial Trinkets – all from the Suite :0)

I began with a Night of Navy cardstock cut 5 1/2 x 6 and scored on the long side @ 4 1/4. I cut apiece of Take To The Sky DSP 31/2 it to the x 5 1/2 and adhered to the 1 1/2x 5 1/2″ side. Cut anther piece of Night of Navy 1 x 5 1/2 and run it through an embossing folder – I used a new So Swirly EF. I added it to the front of the Night of Navy card, equidistant between the fold and the DSP. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine in gray around the cardstock and tied a knot. I used the wonderful biplane stamp and Smoky Slate ink to stamp on Basic White. I die cut it with the coordinating die from Adventurous Sky Dies. I colored the plane with Stampin’ Blends Copper Clay & Smoky Slate, and a bit of Basic Black. I added it ti the card front with dimensionals. I added three Industrial Trinkets – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Take To The Sky inside card

For the inside… I cut a piece of Basic White, stamped the clouds from the Take To The Sky stamp set in Boho Blue and the sentiment from the same stamp set and same ink. I adhered this to the inside of the card. Notice how the back side of the DSP shows so very clearly – I like this business of the DSP sharing both sides.

Stampin' Up! Take To The Sky card & envelope

For the envelope, I wanted to keep it very simple – similar to the card – so only used the same Take To The Sky DSP to the flap & trimmed it to fit. And that was it.

Now, it’s time to see what the others on the team have created. Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name to take you somewhere else. Enjoy the hop!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 28, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday – and you know what that means – another blog hop by the fabulous Happy Inkin’ group! We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen a new product – Thoughtful Wishes stamp set (part of a bundle & suite of products available May 1) AND a couple of cards created with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards + Card & Envelopes (from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini catalog.)

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes card front

This card uses the beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP (available May 1 in the NEW 2024-2025 Annual Catalog) The sentiment is from the coordinating Thoughtful Wishes stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. Notice that new in-color behind the scened DSP? That Petunia Pop! The ribbon is from a two pack that is a White diagonal stripe. The card base is Mossy Meadow with an overlay of Garden Green cut just slightly smaller. The embellishments are Brushed Brass Butterflies that are carrying over as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product.

For the inside of the card I stamped the very same image as I stamped on the envelope and forgot to take a photo… so imagine it on a Basic White panel and stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. :O) Ugh!

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes card & envelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful floral image all across the bottom of the envelope front in Mossy Meadow ink.

I mentioned that I had done some Sweet Memories & More Cards using this same sketch challenge.

These cards use 3×4 cards & stickers from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card pack plus a couple other supplies: Delightfully Eclectic DSP as a background on the 1st card + Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds; #2 card in this section uses the Zinnias 3D EF (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) as a background for the sentiment on the front and a single Paper Butterfly Accent, a carry-over product; card 3 additional product is the Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog (retiring end of April). These were each such fun to create using the very same sketch challenge for today. And since they were a gift from my upline Mary Deatherage and her upline Amy Koenders – well, I just HAD to show them off!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop challenge

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love for Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

My card base is Thick Basic White and I paired it with Poetic Expressions 12×12 DSP from the Jan-Apr Min Catalog. I used the fabulous Lifetime of Love bundle – also from the same catalog. The leafy die cut was cut from Rose Gold SDSP and die cut using the Lifetime of Love Dies. The floral spray is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Color Lifter. The floral spray stamp and the die cut are from the Lifetime of Love bundle – so pretty. The background for the Rose Gold die cut is Basic White, die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Lifetime of Love stamp set. The embellishments are Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots in Copper.

The inside of the card is super simple! I the same Poetic Expressions DSP design as a background for the sentiment panel. The sentiment panel is Basic White and stamped with a sentiment from Lifetime of Love stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink.

The theme for today is ‘celebrate spring’ and I’m using the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Simply Zinnia bundle and the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop Group

This Simply Zinnia stamp set spray is just so pretty. The colors I chose for these are Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, and Real Red with Daffodil Delight for middles and Old Olive for leaves – Stampin’ Blends of course. They almost look real. They were die cut with the coordinating Simply Zinnia Dies. The sentiment comes from Charming Sentiments and is die cut with the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes Dies – stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink. Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins are the added touch of sparkly . My layers are… Flirty Flamingo card base with Lemon Lolly adhered directly to it. The top layer is the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder in Basic White. It is just gorgeous. It’s definitely a directional embossing folder, so know which way it’s going to be on your card.

Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Branches & Flight & Airy for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 29, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a fun sketch challenge for our hop today and I’m choosing to again highlight the Flight & Airy DSP – because I love this DSP and because it’s a FREE Product with a qualifying order that ends at close of day MT 2/29. I paired it with Seasonal Branches Bundle from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog that is just gorgeous and coordinates!

My sentiment banner is in a different location than the sketch, but other than that – pretty darn close to the sketch. :O)

My card base is Misty Moonlight. I cut a piece of the Flight & Airy DSP to 4 x 5 1/4, layered a coordinating piece of the Flight & Airy DSP cut 2 1/4 x 5 1/8 and added that to the left side as shown. I added both of these to a Basic White 5 1/8 x 5 3/8 for a contrast & border. I die cut from another piece of Flight & Airy DSP, the two branches using the Seasonal Branches Dies and added them with tiny dabs of liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White strip using the Seasonal Branches stamp set. To follow the sketch, I added another strip of Misty Moonlight card stock to the sentiment with liquid glue, put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card. I added Iridescent Foil Gems for accent. This completed front was added to the card base with dimensionals

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches sympathy, inside

For the inside… on a Basic White piece I stamped the Misty Moonlight sentiment from Seasonal Branches stamp set and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Seasonal Branches & Flight & Airy card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Flight & Airy DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, I fussy cut with my paper snips the sweet bird from the Flight & Airy DSP and added it with liquid glue.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 22, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Thursday… and the theme challenge for today’s hop is “Thank you” I’m using the soon to be released Flowering Zinnia 12×12 DSP. The coordinating stamp set & dies is called the Simply Zinnia Bundle – and they are wonderful. The embellishments that are part of the suite are the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. But what really pops on this card is the DSP.

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

Stampin' Up! Flowering Zinnias 12x12 Thank you Card front

Do you see – the DSP is the focus of this card and it’s so bright & cheery! The lovely sweet zinnia is created by using the Simply Zinnia Dies: Melon Mambo card stock for the zinnia and Mossy Meadow card stock for the stem/ leaf die. The ribbon is from the Ribbon Duo Pack. The sentiment banner is die cut with the Scalloped Contour Dies using Basic White card stock. Of course, the sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink to pull it all together – and the final touch is the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Lemon Lime Twist. I used a single Lemon Lolly sequin from the same pack for the flower center. And that’s it! Fun, quick, easy, bright & cheerful too.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnias thank you card, inside

For the inside… I stamped the zinnia in Melon Mambo ink then used my Blender pen to move the ink around a bit. I added Lemon Lolly ink to the center of the zinnia. The leaf image is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist ink. I added a bit of Wink of Stella both to the flower and the leaf image.

Stampin' Up! Flowering Zinnias thank you card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Flowering Zinnias 12×12 DSP for the flap & trimmed to fit. On the env elope front, the same zinnia stamped from Simply Zinnias stamp set with Melon Mambo ink and highlighted with Lemon Lolly Blends for the center.

Stampin’ Up! Center Pop-Up Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s the second Tuesday of the month and time for a hop :O) Our theme this month is ‘birthday’ and can be interpreted however we like. I have created a fun fold – and since this is my ‘big day today’, that’s kinda fun – like making my own birthday card. hahaha

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Team Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Hot Air Balloon Center Pop-Up Fun Fold

Stampin' Up! Jungle Pals Center Pop-Up Fun Fold

I couldn’t help it, this fun fold is so fun to make I had to make another :O) The first is made with the Hot Air Balloon suite of products. The second card is made with the Jungle Pals bundle. It was a bit more time consuming due to the animals and all the coloring – but still worth it in every way. I’m going to walk you through the cutting of the card stock, then the decorating of the Hot Air Balloon Center Pop-Up card. I’ll be back later this week with directions for coloring the Jungle Pal animals.

Cutting the card base:

Base is 5 1/2 x 8. On the 8″ side, score at 2″ & 6″
On the 5 1/2″ side, line up on the Paper Trimmer at 1 1/4″ and cut between score lines only. Flip card and do the same at other end
On the 8″ side, line up on Paper Trimmer @ 3″ & 5″, score between cut lines only
On the 8″ side, line the paper @ 4″ on the Paper Trimmer, score above & below cut lines only

This is what your card base should look like after cutting & scoring. Yes, this is decorated with card stock to give you a better visual of what the cutting lines and scoring lines should look like.

Paper card cuts
- Designer Series Paper (DSP)
  - 2 cut at 1 7/8 x 5 3/8 (these are the long side panels)
  - 4 cut at 1 1/8 x 1 7/8 (these are the upper & lower center sections)
  - 2 1/4 x 6 for envelope flap
- Basic White
  - 1 7/8 x 2 7/8 (for center pop-up)
  - 2 cut at 1 7/8 x 5 3/8 (for back of card – long side panels for writing your message)
  - scrap for sentiment banner
For the Hot Air Balloon card:
- Card base is Balmy Blue
- DSP is Lighter Than Air 6×6 DSP from the Jan-Feb 2024 Mini Catalog + Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog
- Additional card stock: Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue and Pool Party
- Inks used: Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue, & Pool Party
- Embellishments: Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots

Here’s a photo of the card back & envelope. The panel on left shows die cut pieces using the Hot Air Balloon Dies. The panel on the right shows stamped images from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Hot Air Balloon Center Pop-Up Fun fold, card back

Stampin' Up! Hot Air Balloon Pop-Up Center Fold card & envelope

The center pop-up section shows a balloon die cut directly from the Lighter Than Air DSP with the Hot Air Balloon Dies. The basket is also die cut directly from the DSP. The sentiment banner is die cut from Basic White card stock and stamped with Balmy Blue ink. The embellishments are the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots, part of the suite of products.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Here For You card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 8, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Today is Thursday – which means, it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and I really like these color combinations. Perennial Lavender 12 x 12 DSP fits the bill perfectly!

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here For you Card front

I started by determining the showy piece of Perennial Lavender DSP for the front of the card. I die cut the piece with a Deckled Rectangle Die. And yes, I could have used the Perennial Postage Dies instead – and you could easily make that change if you decided to CASE this card. I wanted a slightly less ‘edgy’ look and that’s why I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I backed the DSP with a Basic White panel. I used another piece of the Perennial Lavender DSP to die cut the floral image. I adhered it to the DSP panel with dimensionals that I trimmed down to size, then added a double Linen Thread bow and attached it with a glue dot. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Perennial Postage stamp set and stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink, cut it apart & fussy cut around the single word – setting the rest aside. I created a Gorgeous Grape card base and covered it with another Perennial Lavender DSP panel just slightly smaller in size. I attached the showy DSP panel to the card front with dimensionals, then added the sentiment with glue on the one end and a dimensional trimmed down to size on the overhanging end. I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems near the sentiment for a glitzy touch.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here for you, card inside

For the inside of the card, I used the other floral die cut and adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White panel. I took the rest of the stamped sentiment from the card front & cut it apart, added it to a same pattern DSP as the large front panel, trimmed it to a unique shape and adhered it with liquid glue.

To purchase items to make this card… Jan- Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. + the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Remember, when purchasing SU! products Jan- Feb of 2024, there are all kinds of FREE PRODUCTS to choose from in the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions for the Happy Thursday Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on February 1, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Thursday and time for a Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!!! We have a sketch challenge today and it’s always interesting how others interpret a challenge,.I have used the Thoughtful Expressions Bundle aND Inspirational Sketches stamp set for my card today. I used other items as well, but these are from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Grateful Card. Thu Hop 2/1

My card base is Thick Basic White 4 1?4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, a very basic card base. The next layer is Crushed Curry that has been run through the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I layered another panel of Basic White on top of that 3 3/8 x 4 5/8 then Basic Gray run through the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder 3 14 x 4 1/2. The very front layer is this stunningly gorgeous die cut from Thoughtful Expressions Dies in Basic White, stamped with this beautiful stamp of daisies from Inspirational Sketches stamp set in Basic Gray ink and added to the card front with dimensionals. The sentiment is also from Inspirational Sketches stamp set and is stamped with VersaMark ink then sprinkled with Black Embossing Powder and heat set with the heat tool – all on a scrap of Crushed Curry card stock. It was adhered with liquid glue and a dimensional on the far left end. For a final touch I added several Iris=descent Pearly /Basic Jewels for glam. This was another ‘first play’ with Inspirational Sketches stamp set– love this set!

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions for the Thursa Blog Hoop 2/1

For the inside… A panel of Crushed Curry 4 18 x 5 3/8 then a Basic White panel stamped: Basic Gray ink with flowers from Inspirational Sketches stamp set in opposite corners and a sentiment from Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 2/1

For the envelope… I stamped this floral image in Basic Gray ink from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set on the envelope front – and left it at that. I often emboss the envelope flap, but chose not to this time. I like the simplicity for this card.

Stampin’ Up! Notes of Nature Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 25, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Thursday and that means a whole host of creations by this extra special team of crafters. Thanks for joining on this Blog Hop. Our theme today is love – to be interpreted individually. Does that mean hearts to you, or showing appreciation or gratitude? Whatever it is – you will see a variety on today’s hop. Mine is sharing praise and being thankful for others kind of card using the Notes of Nature Bundle.

Stampin' Up! Notes of Nature Congratulations. Thu hop. 1/25

I used some fun products on this card – the Notes of Nature bundle and the Lovely & Sweet stamp set. These can be found on pages 40-43 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. From the suite of products shown on those pages, I also used the Nature’s Sweetness 12×12 SDSP and the Adhesive-Backed Cork Dots. I din’t think I would like these – but I DO!. I used the fun die cut from Notes of Nature Dies to die cut from Vellum Basics SDSP the long leaf die. I continued to die cut from that same Vellum Basics SDSP and the Notes of Nature Dies, various leaf patterns. I also die cut from the Nature’s Sweetness SDSP, the gold leaves shown under the sentiment.. Once those were all die cut, I began assembling the card… Thick Basic White for the card base, the Nature’s Sweetness SDSP cut to cover the card front.. I then cut the next layer of Nature’s Sweetness SDSP to about 2 1/2 & 5 1/2. I cut two strips of Pebbled Path card stock about 14″ x 5 12 and adhered it to the back of the Pebbled Path SDSP, then attached it directly to the card base. I added the vellum die cuts with glue dots, then the 1/4″ strip of Pecan Pie card stock at an angle. the gold leaf was attached with dimensionals. The sentiment comes from Lovely & Sweet stamp set (page 42) and is stamped in Pecan Pie ink on a Basic White scrap, then attached with dimensionals at each end. I added the Adhesive-Backed Cork Dots for texture – and love the effect!

For the inside… I stamped the cross-hatch pattern using the Lovely & Sweet stamp set & Pebbled Path ink; then stamped the sentiment from Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pecan Pie ink. This Basic White panel was adhered to the inside of the card – and sending love & congratulations all at once.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Sweetness Suite card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Pebbled Path pattern from Nature’s Sweetness 12×12 SDSP on the flap, trimmed to fit. Then I stamped the fun image from Lovely & Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path ink – and done. I really like this card and am so pleased with the finished product. Love in action in a congratulations card!
