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

Posted on May 16, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday morning! You KNOW what Thursday means, right? A blog hop by this awesome group. You may have come from the creative team member Tara or just hopped right in here – however you got here, welcome. We have a theme challenge of outdoors today – and I have chosen to work with the Thoughtful Wishes bundle and the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP – and created a fun fold for you :O)

Not sure what to call this fun fold, Center Pleat maybe – it was inspired by Susan Campfield who did a multi-pleat with 12 x 12 DSP. Thoughtful Journey DSP is 6×6 and I did not purchase the tutorial from Susan – just played around with this until it worked :O)

Begin with a card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 – this particular card is Boho Blue. For the card front, I wanted to use the new So Swirly dry embossing folder and ran a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic panel through it and adhered it to the card front. I stamped three images of the floral stamp from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on Basic White – coloring the stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers to do so… Blackberry Bliss for the flower and Mossy Meadow for the stem/ leaves. I added these colors after each stamping. Because of the inside DSP I chose, I wanted these to look like a water color – soft and less defined images – so… I took my Water Painter, squeezed it until the brush was wet, then added just brush strokes of water on the flowers and then the leaves. I really like the effect it gave. I had tried spritzing the inked stamp but it didn’t give me what I was looking for, that’s why the water painter. Then I die cut the images with the coordinating Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I also stamped the leaf/weed image in Mossy Meadow ink and mov ed the ink on all the leaves with the water painter – die cut it with a coordinating die as well. I adhered the one flower image directly to the card front with liquid glue, attaching it at an angle to make it look as though it were being blown over by the swirling wind :O) I added trimmed down dimensionals to both the leaf image and the remaining flower image and added them as you see them. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips, adding dimensionals to it as well. I had an extra leaf and slipped it under the sentiment, attaching with a dab of adhesive. Finally – three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to complete complete the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey 6x6 DSPb & Center Pleat Fun Fold

The inside… this is so pretty – well, I think so anyway… the Thoughtful Journey DSP is just so, so pretty – with a definite watercolor appeal n- maybe as though it were raining outside and looking through a wet windowpane. :O) Anyway – this is the image I chose, cut 4 x 4 1/2, scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/4 and 3 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley. Adhere only the end portions of this folded piece, keeping the center fold in the middle. The two end panels are: Blackberry Bliss cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 and adhered with even margins on each side. The Basic White panels are 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 with the piece on the left run through the So Swirly dry embossing folder then adhered. Again, the remaining die cut flower was attached with liquid glue. The other panel is left plain for writing your message. The sentiment is stamped on a Basic White strip with Mossy meadow ink and adhered with Stampin’ Seal just on the left side. The card doesn’t really need it but I added it nonetheless.

This is what the card looks like looking down from the top. It stands for display to show off that gorgeous inside.

The envelope got more of the Thoughtful Journey DSP attached to the flap and trimmed to fit. The front got this same leaves stamp in Mossy Meadow ink and the ink ‘moved around’ with a water painter. I love this look!

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! Meandering Meadows DSP Simple Card

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

Good morning! Today’s card is super simple – intentionally. I’m interested in making several of these to use as a quick notice of thinking of you, or concern, or birthday, or just a note, whether it be of appreciation or thanks or hello friend. I love the color contrasts in this DSP and for the simple layers. Behold… Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP, hello

Blueberry Bushel is one of the coordinating colors for this DSP and I used it for my card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I trimmed the Meandering Meadows DSP to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and adhered it to Petal Pink just slightly larger. These two panels were added to the card base with dimensionals. As a final touch, three birds were added from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds. They show beautifully because they are brass!

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP hello, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink onto a Basic White panel, and it comes from the Garden Meadow stamp set, then added a strip of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the bottom (a continuation of the pattern from the card front). This was added to another panel of Petal Pink just slightly larger, then into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP card & envelope

The envelope flap got more of the same panel of Meandering Meadow DSP, just the other side of that 6×6 piece to create the card front! On the front of the envelope, I stamped the floral image in Basic Gray ink as it simulates the flowers in the scene on the card front. :O) Stampin’ Up! is really clever in the way they pair the DSP with stamp bundles – and actually, these are all a part of a suite of products in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin’ Up! Kraft Note Card as Pop Up Shadow Box

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

Good Friday morning! Ok, December 1 it is and the countdown begins to Christmas or end of year 2023. I hosted a card class yesterday and we have been making cards with the Kraft Note Card & box set. I shared the box some time ago, but I think not this shadow-box card. Click here to see the box post. We used the Fruitful Blessings bundle (includes coordinating dies), Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, several Stampin’ Blends, Vellum, Deckled Circles Dies, O Holy Night DSP, Wild Wheat and Old Olive card stock.

Stampin' Up! Kraft Note Card Pop-Up Shadow Box, front

From the front it is not obvious this is a shadow box card. And, I’ve used two note cards adhered together to make this work. For the front, here’s what we did…

Stamp the image: acorns w/ leaves & additional acorn using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set & Memento ink on Basic White card stock.
Color the acorns with Wild Wheat & Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaves with Stampin’ Blends Old Olive.
Die cut a few leaves from Old Olive card stock using the Fruitful Blessings Dies.
Die cut a circle from Vellum using the Deckled Circles Dies (these may be found as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES).
Die cut stamped images using Fruitful Blessings Dies.
Run a panel of Wild Wheat through the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

The Kraft Note cards are 7 x 5 scored @ 3 1/2. Score again @ 6 1/2. Take another Kraft Note Card and cut to just shy of 4 x 5 and score @ 1/2 at each long side. Adhere the two note card together so they measure 5 x 10 1/2 and score marks appear @ 3 1/2, 6 1/2, 7 & 10. Adhere Tear n Tape between score mark 10 to end of card @ 10 1/2. Die cut 3rd full panel with the Nested Essentials Dies. (For this card I used the Nested Essentials Dies, but would prefer the Countryside Corners Dies.)

I got too excited aboput putting this together that I didn’t take enough photos!!! But here’s the inside. On the 2nd panel is the O Holy Night DSP cut just slightly less than 3 1/2 x 5. The stamped image is from Fruitful Blessings stamped on Basic White, colored with various Stampin’ Blends and adhered in place. Colors are: Wild Wheat, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Copper Clay, Dark Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Orchid Oasis. After adhering this colored piece in place, remove seal on Tear n Tape, close card so this adheres to the back of the card front. The single acorn die cut & the acorn w/ leaves were done same as the card front. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink using the Fruitful Blessings stamp set. The finished card will look like this from a top view.

The finished envelope… more of the O Holy Night DSP for the flap and this wonderful leaf image stamped in Old Olive ink from Fruitful Blessings stamp set.

The class LOVED this card. The images are just wonderful and could be used any time of year – fall or spring.

Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour + Delightfully Eclectic Fun Fold

Posted on July 11, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a challenge of a ‘fun fold’ for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group today. I’ve combined Delightfully Eclectic DSP and the Color & Contour bundle for my card.

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

This fun fold uses a 5 1/2 x 12 piece of Designer Series Paper. Here I’m using Delightfully Eclectic. It’s scored @ 1 3/4, 4 3/4, & 7 3/4 and folded accordian style or valley, mountain, valley. Here’s the finished card, open.

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold inside

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, cut 3 from Bubble Bath card stock cut 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Begin by adhering to the back panel first, centering the die cut. Fold DSP at 2nd score line and attach 2nd Bubble Bath die cut so that it is even with the die cut on the bottom panel. Remember, the adhesive will not cover the entire die cut as there is some ‘overhang’. See photo.

Close entirely and attach the front Scalloped Contour die cut. I do this by turning the die to the wrong side and add adhesive to back side as per this photo. That way I do not put adhesive where it is not needed!

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour fun fold closed

Cut 3 panels of Basic White card stock and decorate as desired. For the front panel I used a Color & Contour sentiment and stamped it in Memento ink. I then used the blotchy dot stamp and Bubble Bath ink to stamp over the sentiment. I attached this to the front Scalloped Contour die then added a flower already put together from the Paper Florist Dies (cut from Fresh Freesia and Basic White) and added it as you see it. As a final touch to the front, I added three Tinsel Gems in Berry Burst. For the second section of this fun fold, I stamped the flower in Memento ink from Color & Contour stamp set, then colored it with the additional stamps provided: Fresh Freesia for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves. I then stamped the sentiment on this panel in Memento ink. For the last panel I stamped the sentiment from Color & Contour stamp set in Memento ink, then the splotchy dots in Bubble Bath and added the panel. Once everything was together, I attached a panel of Old Olive card stock ( 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) to the very back to add strength and stability to the card. All done!

The envelope got more of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the flap, & trimmed to fit. For the front I stamped the leaves in Old Olive, the bud in Memento, then filled the bud with Bubble Bath – all from the Color & Contour stamp set. This is such a sweet, delicate card. I absolutely love it. I hope you do as well.

Now it’s time to continue the hop. Do that by clicking on one of the “previous’ or ‘next’ or a name to continue.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

My June Paper Pumpkin (Welcome Inn) arrived earlier this week and I knew I wanted to use parts of it for this hop/ challenge. The colors of Night of Navy and Calypso Coral are such a wonderful combination. I added a background piece from the Subtles 6×6 in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog hop

As you can see, I turned the image sideways (again) to create my own version :O). The card base is from the June Paper Pumpkin kit – Night of Navy. The next layer is my addition – Subtles 6×6 in Calypso Coral (3 1/2 x 5). The floral Pattern is from the Paper Pumpkin kit as well and was added with dimensionals. The floral DSP is Countryside Inn, which this particular kit coordinates. and is 2 1/4 x 2 3/8 and adhered directly – except for the right side, which has dimensionals under it. The banner also comes from the klit and was added with dimensionals as well. The Night of Navy embellishments also come from the kit. Great alternative project, right?!

Stampin' Up! June PP Alternative, inside

For the inside, a Calypso Coral panel 4 18 x 5 38 was adhered to the base, then the Basic White panel was stamped: Night of Navy for the vase; Old Olive for the stems and Calypso Coral for the flowers – and yes… these were in the June PP kit!

Stampin' Up! June PP Alternative w/ envelope

The envelope is from the June PP kit and I chose to cover the flap with more of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Calypso Coral & trimmed it to fit. Hope you likie!

Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist Dies Hello card

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

Hello this shiny bright Tuesday! I have a really pretty card for you today, made with the Paper Florist Dies. This is a stand alone die set that allows you to create all KINDS of flowers your imagination can envision. And there are three leaf dies as well. Let’s take a peek at this fun card.

This card uses a couple of new products in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog: Pebbled Path card stock for the card base; an embossed layer using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder, and a returning color to the palette – Pretty Peacock. The other colors used to make these creations are Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Basic White and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Embellishments used were Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink & Balmy Blue and Linen Thread doubled and made into a bow.

Since this is a stand alone set of floral and leaf dies, the sentiment comes from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set and was die cut with a banner die from the Cheerful Daisy Dies. This was stamped using Smoky Slate ink on a Basic White panel. I’m trying to keep my sentiment stamping to a bare minimum as I’m away and FORGOT MY ACRYLIC BLOCKS. Go figure… don’t even ask how I could forget them. I just did.

Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies Hello card.2

Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies, inside card

For the inside, I die cut the tulips in two parts: Basic White for the flower and Garden Green for the stems. These were adhered to a Basic White panel and attached to the inside of the card. The simplicity comparison with the card front is quite a contrast. I hope you like…

All flowers were attached to the card base with liquid glue. As you can see, some of the petals are curled up and some are curled downwards – as in the Pretty Peacock flower. The white daisy like flower has many layers. I just kept adding petals until I was happy with the look.

I’m afraid there is no envelope.. forgot to bring those with me as well. I’ll have to remedy that situation when I return home. For now I’m where I’m supposed to be and I have no regrets.

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Eclectic & Circle Sayings for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I’ve a cheerful card for you today using the sketch challenge.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic w/ Circle Sayings

You can see I took some liberties with the sketch by first turning it sideways :O) and the center panel is off-set. I think it still works. Here’s what I did… I die cut the Delightfully Eclectic DSP (stripe) on with the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies and layered it on a piece of Misty Moonlight, just slightly larger. Both of these were added to the Thick Basic White card base. I took another piece of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP (the small floral print) and die cut it with a smaller die of the Deckled Rectangles Dies and adhered it to Misty Moonlight panel just a bit larger. I put dimensionals on these and attached them to the card front. I stamped this fun image from Circle Sayings stamp set in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: both Light & Dark Daffodil Delight for the sun and a mix of Pool Party and Light Balmy Blue for the ocean waves. I die cut this with the one of the circles from Stylish Shapes Dies. Before adding it to the card front, I cut a length of the Textured Ribbon in wild Wheat, folded it over and attached it with a couple of glue dots. The fun sun image was then added over this with dimensionals. The part that is off the smaller rectangle has two dimensionals together to make it even. The final touch was three In Color Dots in Wild Wheat.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic and Circle Sayings, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment from Circle Sayings stamp set in Misty moonlight ink, then added a strip of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the bottom. Notice it also has a Deckled Rectangle edge at the bottom of it :O). It was a scrap from die cutting the larger rectangle. This was added to a panel of Misty Moonlight, also die cut with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, then onto the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic and Circle Saying card & envelope

For the envelope, more of this same stripe from Delightfully Eclectic DSP added to the flap. Notice it too has a deckled edge to it :O) On the front, another sentiment from Circle Sayings stamp set stamped in Misty Moonlight. This card is going to a dear friend who fell recently and is struggling with pain. She is an amazing organist and individual and I wanted to send something light-hearted and cheerful to lighten her spirits.

I do hope you will take the time to make the rounds of the blog hop of this fun group. I’m always amazed at the variety and talent shared. You may click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name to visit a particular blog.

Stampin’ Up! Lasting Joy with Hello, Irresistible DSP

Posted on May 24, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Wednesday, middle of the week. Hope it has been good so far. A friend of mine is going through a hard time and I feel really badly for her. So what do I do – besides call – I make a card. Imagine that! :O)

Stampin' Up! Lasting Joy w/ Hello, Irrisistible DSP

I layered a panel of the Hello, Irresistible DSP (ON SALE JUN 1 and an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE!) to a Basic Black piece just a smidge larger, wrapped a length of the Bordered Ribbon in Lost Lagoon around the two and adhered them directly to the Thick Basic White card base. Using the 1 3/4″ circle punch (ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), I punched two circles: one from another piece of the Hello, Irresistible DSP and another from Basic Black. I adhered the two together with an upper edge of the black showing. I put these two circle on dimensionals and added them to the card front over the ribbon. I added a length of the same ribbon, slipping it under the ribbon already in place, tied a single knot and scooted it close to the circle. I placed a glue dot under the knot to hold it in place. Lasting Joy stamp set has some really nice sentiments. I stamped this on a Basic White in Memento ink and trimmed the strip down to size. I added a Basic Black strip behind it with liquid glue and trimmed the ends, adhering these on the circle with liquid glue. I added three Loose Frosted Dots for charm.

Stampin' Up! Lasting Joy w/ Hello, Irrisistible DSP, inside

For the inside, to carry through with the Basic Black, I added a panel to the inside of the card. I stamped a Basic White panel with Memento ink for the sentiment (yes, Lasting Joy stamp set!) and the sweet flower in Lost Lagoon and Flirty Flamingo inks. Yep – these come from Lasting Joy stamp set! I added another of the Loose Frosted Dots to the flower center. This panel was added to the black piece and the card was complete.

Stampin' Up! Lasting Joy w/ Hello, Irrisistible stamp set, card & envelope.

For the envelope… more of the Hello, Irresistible DSP to the flap and another leaf & flower stamped on the card front. Again, Lasting Joy stamp set, Lost Lagoon and Flirty Flamingo inks. The colors on this card are soothing and the words are hopefully comforting for my hurting friend. She tells me she saves all my cards and sometimes will display them together on her mantle. Isn’t that just the sweetest?

Stampin’ Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie

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

Not long ago I had a card class and we made a card with the Cheerful Daisies bundle. The background for all the cards were from Glorious Gingham DSP. The card I shared with you was done on Blueberry Bushel and it really made the daisies pop. I had an extra left over, but this time in Pecan Pie, so I made that one up as well – and that’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie

Isn’t this pretty? I used the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends for two of the flower centers and an actual piece of Daffodil Delight card stock for the largest flower. You can see the Blends is slightly darker, so a nice contrast. Behind the leaves is Granny Apple Green card stock. The greeting comes from Go-to Greetings stamp set and was stamped in Pecan Pie on the Basic White strip. A little Linen bow was added for fun and Wild Wheat dots from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots pack. The vellum is from Vellum Basics and is a 2″ wide strip.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie, inside

For the inside of this card, I stamped this partial daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Bubble Bath, then the center in stamped off Daffodil Delight ink. I should have maybe stamped the flower in daisy Delight and the center in Pecan Pie – – – but I didn’t.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie, card & envelope

More of the Glorious Gingham on the envelope flap and the same stamped daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set on the envelope front: Bubble Bath ink for the petals and stamped off Daffodil Delight for the center. If you want to see the card on Blueberry Bushel -here’s a link to the Blueberry Bushel post. Love this bundle of Cheerful Daisies and the Glorious Gingham DSP together!
