Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More card pack.3

You may have learned that I tend to make different cards and not all the same design. Yep, that’s part of my DNA, don’t duplicate. While the far left card and the far right card are similar, still, they are not the same.

Card 1, far left, uses a red card base in the card pack. Adhered directly to the card base is one of the larger panels from the pack of the very cute bears – or should I say Beary Cute :O) I used a piece of Vellum Basic DSP (polka dots) and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight strip cut the entire width. I added stickers from the Beary Christmas Memories and More card pack to the strip and three Irridescent Pastel Gems in Balmy Blue.

Card 2, middle, also uses a red card base from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. I used my paper snips to trim down one of the card images and added it directly to the card base. I then cut a banner with the Nested Essentials Dies from Balmy Blue card stock. With my paper snips I again trimmed one of the smaller cards to use the sentiment banner. I adhered the sentiment banner to the Balmy Blue one, put dimensionals on and attached it to the card. I added three Festive Pearls in Red.

Card 3, far right, is the simplest yet: Balmy Blue card base from the Beary Christmas Mem’ries & More Cards & Envelopes; a Basic White panel then the bear image all adhered one on the other. I trimmed down this sentiment banner from one of the cards in the pack and attached it directly to the card. As a final touch I added an Irridescent Pastel Gem to each end of the sentiment. And done! Three more cards for my Christmas card list :O) This is such a great card pack and of course, I used the coordinating Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for the card pack. So convenient!!!

Kits are just one of the items Stampin’ Up! does so well. If interested in other kit options, please visit my store here.

Stampin’ Up! Jodi’s Off-Set Gate Fold Card

Posted on June 10, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Saturday! I’m heading home today after being with Grands for several days. It was extra nice being with them. Yesterday’s card featured grandson Dan’s card that he made. Today’s card features Jodi’s card. :O)

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Gate fold card

Off-set gate fold simply means one folded side is larger than the other, which is kind of obvious here. It could use a belly band but it does not have one. The colors in this DSP are so vibrant and funky fun. The card base is Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 1 3/4 & 6. Fold both to the front and they match nicely. Cover the two fronts in DSP so the pattern flows from one to the other. Stamp the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White piece using the Layering Leaves stamp set and die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies. Attach to the right side of the fold with dimensionals. Add Glossy Dots Assortment in Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo – Jodi’s choice!

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made off set gate fold inside

For the inside of the card, more of the same Masterfully Made DSP on each side panel. For the middle panel, Basic White 4 x 5 3/8, the stamped sentiment is from Layering Leaves in Memento ink. The sweet flower is from Textured Floral stamp set and stamped in Daffodil Delight. Adhere panel to inside of card and done, done.

This sounds like a broken record, but this DSP is part of the special DSP sale @ 15% off select DSP packages. Read on for more info on that.

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Garden Dies

Posted on June 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning… I am with my Grandkids and today is finals week. Last night our grandson was studying for a history final. Goodness, I could not believe the questions – quite difficult. He’s done really well this week and I’m super proud. :O) OK… my card.

I used the new Gorgeous Garden Dies, which is another stand alone set, meaning no stamp set is bundled with it. It really is gorgeous.

I began with Lemon Lime Twist card stock and with Blending Brushes, added Calypso Coral ink, Mossy Meadow ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink, then die cut the piece with my cut & emboss machine. I ran it through a couple of times as this is a really intricate die cut and I wanted all the detail. I used little dabs of liquid glue under all the leaves to attach the die cut to the Lemon Lime Twist card base. Since I needed a sympathy card I decided on this sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set and stamped it with Mossy Meadow ink. It’s die cut with a die from Cheerful Daises Dies, but I removed one end as I liked the look better. I tied a double bow and added it to the sentiment banner. The banner is attached with dimensionals. And the card front was done.

For the inside I used a left over strip from the blending done on the card front and adhered it near the bottom of the Basic White panel. I then stamped this beautiful image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink along the one side. I goofed just a bit because I don’t have my acrylic blocks with me, but I still like the effect. And this panel was adhered to the inside of the card – done, done.

This card looks so pretty in person and the photos don’t really show it off. I’m so sorry!

Stampin’ Up! Zany Zoo Birthday for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 18, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The theme for this week is CELEBRATE and I chose birthday. I’ve had the Zany Zoo Suite of products for a bit, but hadn’t used it yet. With this challenge, it was the perfect opportunity to play. I used the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog to give me a bit of inspiration – and the rest is history. Once I got going, the inspiration just kept coming.

This little singing turtle was an image I HAD to use. I cut it out of the Zany Crew Designer Series Papers. I really like the fact that Stampin’ Up! has started creating images on their DSP that can be die cut with the coordinating Dies. ~ and so I did, then colored it with Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends. I die cut a stool for him to stand on using the same Zany Zoo Dies. I also die cut this other creature holding balloons – is it a raccoon or is it a badger? I can’t decide! I colored it as well, this time with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. I also die cut the sweet tulips and the single balloon, as well as the banner with the sentiment. All these came from the Zany Zoo Dies. The cute little music notes also come from the Zany Zoo stamp set, as does the sentiment on the banner die cut. The ‘grass’ along the bottom comes from the Beautiful Balloon Dies and is die cut from Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

The card base… is Pool Party card stock 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I cut a panel of the Zany Crew DSP to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and trimmed the opposite corners. I colored the DSP with Pool Party ink and a Blending Brush. I adhered it with liquid glue as you see it. The next layer of Pool Party is 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 and was attached with dimensionals after it was completed . The DSP under the sentiment banner is the same pattern as the Pool Party colored DSP. Can’t you just ‘hear’ this cute frog singing Happy Birthday to you?! The single balloon is attached with Black Baker’s Twine form the Twine Essentials Pack. I attached it to the back of the balloon with a dab of liquid glue, then simply ‘tucked it’ near the hand after the balloon was added to the card with a dimensional. A two-fisted animal with balloons!

On the inside… I added a panel of Lemon Lolly card stock to the card base. The Basic White panel has a strip of the Zany Crew DSP that was colored with Pool Party and a Blending Brush, same as the DSP on the card front. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink and comes from Zany Zoo stamp set. The additional stamping – looks like confetti – is also from Zany Zoo stamp set and is stamped with Memento ink. I colored various aspects of the confetti with Blends: Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Crumb cake. Mostly it took just a touch of ink.

For the envelope… more Zany Crew DSP added to the flap. For the front I used the 2 3/8 circle punch to punch this fun image from the Zany Crew DSP and adhered it to the envelope with Stampin’ Seal all around the edges of the circle. Tis a happy, fun birthday card.

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

Posted on May 4, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Here’s the deal… I lost Internet yesterday – completely for an entire day. Hubby got a new Modem and it still didn’t work for about 2 1/2 hrs. GRRR. I pulled myself out of the blog hop cuz – no Internet until late on Wed. night and didn’t know when it would work, when it magically and finally DID.. I have removed the links below but wanted you to see the challenge – and of course, my card..

Stasmpin' Up! Color Challenge for the Happy Inkin' Thursday hop

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies for the hop 5/4

I started with a card base of Copper Clay and added a layer of Wild Wheat. Adhered to that is a Designer Series Paper layer of Fresh as a Daisy with the Moody Mauve side up. The top two layers are Wild Wheat & the Moody Mauve background of the Fresh As a Daisy DSP. Together, those were added with dimensionals. Next – die cutting the daisy using the Cheerful Daisy Dies in Basic White, two layers, and attaching them together with dabs of glue. I used the Light Wild Wheat Blends to add color to the center, then attached the daisy to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Moody Mauve ink on a strip of Bubble Bath and slipped under the mounted daisy with a bit of glue on the backside. I added two die cuts of the branchy/twiggy thing, one in Wild Wheat and the other in Basic White. Because they are so thin, I added those with a coupler of glue dots. For a final touch, I added three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies, inside card

For the inside, a layer of Wild Wheat was added to the card base. I then stamped the Basic White panel with this pretty daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink. I didn’t think I would like this color combination, but I really do :O) The Bubble Bath is really a sweet shade of pink.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Moody Mauve from the Fresh As A Daisy DSP for the flap. For the envelope front, a single sweet daisy from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set in Bubble Bath ink.

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Inn At Play

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

Good morning! It is May 2 and you know what that is… the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is LIVE! WooHoo! Today’s card uses products from that new catalog: the Countryside Inn bundle and the Countryside Inn DSP. This DSP is so sweet in shades of blue and some fun little animals.

I used the Countryside in Dies to cut two panels, one in Night of Navy and the smaller in the Countryside Inn DSP. Before adhering them together, I added a strip of Basic White behind the smaller die cut. I pulled out my Petal Park stamp set and the Petal Park Builder Punch. I inked the three stamps of flowers in Misty Moonlight and stamped that a couple of times on Basic White, then punched them out. I punched another couple of sets in Pool Part and also in Night of Navy and began putting them together. Once the flowers were attached to this fun shape, I set about determining a background. I toyed with several ideas and decided on using the Hobnail Glass Dots embossing folder from the Online Exclusives and running it through on Basic White. I lined that with Night of Navy and added both to a Thick Basic White card base. I popped the die cut main ‘attraction’ on dimensionals and the card front was nearly complete. For a bit of sparkle I added the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue and Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party.

For the inside I added a layer of Night of Navy panel, then stamped on a Basic White panel in Boho Blue. These stamps come from the Countryside Inn stamp set. Isn’t the circles one fun? This was adhered to thee inside and I moved on to the envelope

Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2 envelope front

Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2 Envelope flap

More stamped circles on the envelope front, with Boho Blue ink, then this very same DSP for the envelope flap ~ adhered and trimmed to fit. Done!

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Desert DSP Pairs with Ginkgo Branch

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

Good Monday morning! I hop you had a good weekend and your week is getting off to a good start. I’ve been wanting to play with the Ginkgo Branch Bundle and finally ‘took the plunge’ so to speak, and paired it with the Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP. So what happens is some interesting color combinations I would not normally put together – and I like it! The dies in this bundle are delicate and wonderful. I have used the banner die a few times and it’s a favorite.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Desert DSP w/ Ginkgo Branch Bundle

The card base is Thick Basic White and I added a 2″ strip of Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP along the side. Next I determined the next color layer and how to contrast the pretty leaf dies of Ginkgo Branch: Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya & Petal Pink – all colors that coordinate with this stunning DSP. I stamped the background stamp for these leaves in the same colors using the Ginkgo Branch stamp set and die cut them as well, then added them to the delicate leaf die cuts with dabs of liquid glue. The 3 x 4 panel of Delicate Desert DSP was run through the Painted Texture embossing folder then layered onto a piece of Soft Succulent card stock, then the die cut pieces were attached, some with liquid glue, some with dimensionals. I added a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and tied it off with Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in White. I did unravel this twine to just two threads for a more delicate look. This panel was added to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Gingko Branch stamp set in VersaMark ink and embossed it with White Embossing Powder – on a Calypso Coral strip, then die cut it with a banner die from the Ginkgo Branch Dies. I trimmed one end to match the length of the front panel. and adhered it with dimensionals over the ribbon. As a final touch… I added the super sweet Brushed Brass Butterflies in two sizes.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Desert DSP w/ Ginkgo Branch Bundle.inside

For the inside… I stamped the single Ginkgo leaf from Ginkgo Branch stamp set in Pale Papaya ink, three times on a Basic White panel, then adhered this to a Calypso Coral piece and into the card. I also added an additional small Brushed Brass Butterfly.

Stampin’ Up! Birthday with By the Bay Specialty DSP

Posted on November 26, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello – ’tis Sat and our families are here to celebrate Thanksgiving. We share with in-laws :O)and they come here after. It works. Today’s card is a shaker card for a special birthday young man. I’ve used a couple of new items: two new to me & one new in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog: the Let’s Celebrate Embossing Folder and the Fabulous Frames Dies are both new items for me. The By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP is also new to Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog and is gorgeous!

Stampin' Up! By the Bay 6x6 Sp DSP Shaker card

This DSP looks so ‘beachy’ to me so I’ve used Sahara Sand card stock to create the frame using the Fabulous Frames Dies. And the Let’s Celebrate Embossing Folder was used for just this sentiment. I cut it way down just for this. I should have taken more pictures 😖… Anyhoo… the By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP was adhered to a Sahara Sand card base so it encompassed the full front of the card. To secure the window sheet to the inside of the frame, I used Tear n’ Tape all around the frame, then put the window sheet in place, then the Foam Adhesive strips were adhered to that. I attached the ‘frame’ to the card front just at the bottom, then sprinkled in a few Effervescent Elements and secured the rest of the frame in place. The sentiment was adhered just to the frame. Very masculine, don’t you think?

I kept the inside really simple ‘cuz I have some special things I want to write. 😏 I adhered a strip of the very same By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP along the left side to a Basic White panel – and called it done. I kept the envelope simple as well – another strip of the same By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP, just wider, to the left edge of the envelope. I really do like the masculinity of this card.

If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose.

SU! Wonder of the Season Memories and More Cards/ Envelopes

Posted on August 24, 2020 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s a new day – AND a new week… let’s make them awesome… make a phone call you have intended to do for a long time but haven’t ; send a card to someone whom you think needs a ‘pick me up’; do a good deed without needing/ wanting recognition.Those are just some ‘off the cuff’ suggestions – you can probably come up with some of your own as well.

Todays cards were made using the Wonders of the Season Memories and More Card Pack + the coordinating Cards & Envelopes. There are two sizes cards in this pack: approx. 3 x 4 & 4 x 6. Also in the pack are several peel & stick stickers/ numbers that can be used for embellishing. More info can be found in the Aug-Dec Mini Catalog on pg 31.

For my first card I chose this gorgeous Just Jade 3 x 4 panel and one of the stickers with the word ‘Joy’. I peeled it off carefully and put it directly onto the panel, trying to center it as best I could. I then adhered it to a piece of Gray Granite cs with liquid glue. I pulled out my Pearls Basic Jewels and put several all over the panel. I adhered dimensionals to the back and adhered this to Whisper White, then another piece of Gray Granite. This toon got dimesnionals and was placed onto the Just Jade card base. And voila – the card front was complete.

Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card
#1

For the inside I adhered a panel of Whisper White then added one of the stickers that coordinates with the leaf pattern on the front. Done!

Inside card #1

Card #2 – this card uses one of the larger panels… I love the feathers and the gold. I adhered this green panel to a Brushed Metallic (gold), then directly onto the Wonder of the Season Memories & More card base. I die cut several feathers from the Brushed Metallic (gold) cs, cuz I didn’t know how many I wanted to use :O) The feather comes from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I then took a scrap of Whisper White and cut this beautiful banner using the Snow Time Dies. Notice how the banner has this wonderful raised edge all around it? It’s beautiful!! From another piece of Whisper White I die cut the word Peace, using two elements of the word from the Joy Dies. I adhered these together using liquid glue then onto the banner, also with liquid glue. The banner got dimensionals and was mounted in the center of the card. The single feather was added with liquid glue. DONE!

#2

Card #3 – I began by cutting the green panel from the card pack apart, saving the trims for another use later. The center panel was adhered to a strip of the Brushed Metallic (gold) cs. . I added several Wonderful Gems for a bit of glitz. I cut a panel of the Plaid Tidings 6×6 DSP and adhered it to one of the Wonder of the Season Memories & More cards. The green panel got dimensionals and went right in the center of the card. Done again!

Just like that, three Christmas cards ready for my stash. Each is so different and well, wonderful, in it’s own right. Card cuts are listed at the bottom of this post.
