Stampin’ Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

It is Thursday and you know what that means… the fun of this remarkable group hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen to work with some online exclusive products and a DSP from the ending soon Sale-a-bration catalog – Bloom Impressions.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable Card Front

The daisy flower is from the You Are Remarkable stamp set, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE set and just lovely. I’m partial to daisies, so this was a definite must have! I also like the fonts in this set… I kept the image large so you can see the detail of the dies in this Textured Notes bundle – also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. Each rectangular die has a different pattern for the die cut. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Textured Notes, and I like the delicate font without it being too ‘fussy’ or feminine. The ribbon is a freebie as part of Sale-a-bration with a $60 purchase (which ends at end of day Feb 28, 2025 – tomorrow!!!) The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack in Fresh Freesia.

Back to the stamped daisy image… I stamped it in VersaMark ink on this piece of Bloom Impressions 12×12 DSP – another free item during Sale-a-bration with a $60 purchase – sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it. I colored the daisy with Whisper White ink reinker using a water painter brush with water inside. I put a drop of reinker on an acylic block, got the water-painter brush tip wet and added the Whisper White lightly to the daisy portion of the image. This is a pigment ink and takes a bit of time to dry. I used the lightest setting on the heat tool to dry it. I die cut the rectangle using the 2nd to largest die, adhered this to a Basic White slightly larger, added the ribbon around both pieces (Seam Binding Ribbon in Fresh Freesia, a freebie with a $60 purchase until end of day Feb. 28) attached dimensionals on the back & set aside. I used the largest die in the Textured Notes Dies to cut another piece of the same design of DSP – Bloom Impressions and adhered it directly to the Thick Basic White card base. I added the original daisy pieces to the card front (remember they are on dimensionals.) I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink on a Basic White scrap using the Textured Notes stamp set, then die cut it with the smallest of the Textured Notes rectangle dies, added dimensionals and attached over the ribbon on the card front. As I mentioned earlier the embellishments are Tinsel Gems 3 Pack in Fresh Freesia.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable card inside

For the inside… I had a ‘frame’ left over from the smallest rectangular die cut for this card and added dots of liquid glue to the back and attached it, centering, to the inside of the card. I then stamped this sentiment using Blackberry Bliss ink and a sentiment from You Are Remarkable stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes & You Are Remarkable card & envelope

The envelope… More of the same Bloom Impressions DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped the ‘filler’ image of the daisy in Blackberry Bliss ink, then the center in Lemon Lolly ink. And done, ready to send. :O)

What would I do differently on this card? I would use White embossing powder in lieu of clear – so the entire daisy, leaves & all would be more dominant. Otherwise, I really like this card and hope you do as well. To order the items to create this card, see info below the ‘hop names’.

Stampin’ Up! Four Panel Card & Mixed Labels Bundle

Posted on February 25, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello, hello. My card begins with Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I added a layer directly to this with Daffodil Delight, 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I set this aside to create the four panels using Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP, a free item during Sale-a-bration (only three days left!).

What I particularly like about this is the way it looks as though the sun was shining with rays extending. The panel is first cut 3 1/2 x 4 then trimmed to four panels of 1 x 3 1/2 strips. They were layered on Basic White each cut 1 1/8 x 3 5/8. Dimensionals were added to the backs and attached to the card. I used a scrap of Daffodil Delight to die cut the background for the sentiment using the Mixed Labels Dies. I used the Mixed Labels stamp set for the sentiment , Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White and another of the Mixed Labels Dies to die cut it, then attached with dimensionals. The very fun die cut beneath is also from the Mixed Labels Dies and adhered directly beneath and to the card front. The final touch are three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. This is a perfect use of DSP – and a masculine card too – at least in my opinion. Of course that depends on the DSP used.

For the envelope, I added more DSP to the flap & trimmed it to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Memorable Blooms & Beautiful Butterflies for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 20, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Greetings! It’s that time again for the infamous Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a theme challenge today… butterflies & bugs… and I have chosen the butterflies today :O) Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Memorable Blooms & Beautiful Butterflies card front

The basis for this card is the Memorable Blooms Dies – see that wonderful octagon – it has fabulous stitching around and a fun decorative trim impression on the card front – that doesn’t show in this photo at all! I used the Memorable Blooms Dies on a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Basic White, then adhered the larger section to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The octagon panel was adhered on dimensionals. Then I created this fun butterfly with the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. I die cut this lacy butterfly twice in Basic White, then one of them was heat embossed with the WOW! Gold embossing powder – twice.

To heat emboss, tap the VersaMark pad on the die cut butterfly, sprinkle it with embossing powder & heat set with the heat tool. Redo a second or third time as necessary for complete coverage.

I adhered the two die cut butterflies together with liquid glue then added the ‘body’ (also heat embossed with WOW! Gold embossing powder) the same way. these were attached with glue dots. The sentiment is stamped on a Basic Black scrap with VersaMark then sprinkled with White embossing powder and heat set then fussy cut with my paper snips. (The remainder of the sentiment is on the inside of the card.) I added three Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold. I cut a length of Large Check Ribbon (Black & Very Vanilla), made a bow, then snipped each section to look like a double bow and added it to the butterfly with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterfly side view of layers

I’ll be honest, my hubby doesn’t like the addition of the bow – said it detracts from the butterfly. But I love the extra touch. Would love to have your opinion!

For the inside… I adhered the remainder of the fussy cut sentiment to the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel then stamped another butterfly from Beautiful Butterfly stamp set in Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Peach Pie and Azure Afternoon.

Stampin' Up! Memorable Blooms & Beautiful Butterfly inside of card

For the envelope… the same butterfly from Beautiful Butterfly stamp set stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Peach Pie & Azure Afternoon. Please note… I left this photo quite large in order for you to see the intricate stitching & design around the octagon :O)

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again! Happy Birthday to me & my twin today! This is a B-I-G one – but it’s just a number, right? Today’s card takes a bit of imagination to match the sketch, but I think it does. Tell me what YOU think!

I began by doing quite a bit of die cutting to create the grass – several strips of Bloom Impressions DSP in various widths in the pretty Shy Shamrock color, from 1 1/4′ “to 1/2” and using the single grass die in the Umbrella Days Dies. I used the flower dies in the same die set to die cut all these tiny flower heads and more Bloom Impressions 12 x 12 scraps. I set these aside while creating the person and umbrella. Stamp the image from Umbrella Days stamp set on Basic White with Memento ink; color the raincoat with Blends Daffodil Delight and the hands with Petal Pink. Die cut the boots and the sections of the umbrella with more of the Umbrella Days Dies. Adhere the umbrella die cut pieces to the umbrella and the boots to the feet with liquid glue. Set this aside as well.

Begin adhering the strips of grass to a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4 in layers. The top & shorter pieces are added with dimensionals. Sprinkle on several of the die cut flowers and attach with dabs of liquid glue. Stamp the raindrops in Gray Granite ink. Cut another piece of the Bloom Impresssions DSP about 2 1/4 x 5 1/4 and gently tear the edge to create unevenness. Now it should look like sky :O) Die cut a couple of clouds from the same pattern of Bloom Impressions DSP and add. I used dimensionals and glue dots to create depth for each cloud. Attach the body & feet with liquid glue; add a dimensional in the middle of the umbrella and glue dots to the two outer portions – to give the umbrella a ’rounded’ look. With the ‘scene’ completed, I attached the panel to the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Basic White card base which has been scorned and burnished at 4 1/4.

Here’s a closeup photo of the layers of grass.

For the inside…

I tore another strip of Bloom Impressions DSP and attached it to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, then stamped the sentiment from Umbrella Days stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink, adhered the panel to the inside of the card base – and done!

The envelope… more of the blue from Bloom Impressions added to the flap & trimmed to fit. I tore yet another strip from the same paper and added it to the bottom front of the envelope, then stay the sentiment from Umbrella Days stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink.

Stampin’ Up! Handmade Designs & Linked Together Dies Sympathy Card

Posted on February 12, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

All of a sudden I am in need of sympathy cards and I want them to be somewhat special. I had not played with the Handmade Designs stamp set (FREE when joining as a Demonstrator through Feb 28, 2025) OR the Linked Together Dies. This is a soft feeling card because of the Peach Pie color in the the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP (FREE with a $60 purchase through Feb.28, 2025). And I was inspired by the card on page 48 in the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog to use the diamond die in this way. I really like how it turned out. The sentiment is from the Hope You Know stamp set, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card front

So let me tell you how I did this. I stamped the floral image from the Handmade Designs stamp set using two Markers for the ink: Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green, then huffed on the stamp and stamped on Basic White card stock – about 4 x 4 in size. I then took a Peach Pie Marker and followed the edge of the flower stamped to create the second color. For the center of the flower I scribbled with the Daffodil Delight Marker. I die cut the flower using the diamond die, then cut another from plain Basic White card stock – and cut it in half corner to corner in the middle. I attached the stamped piece to the two (now) triangles and set this aside. I cut a piece of the Blooming Impressions 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to a Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then to the Thick Basic White card base (4 14 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I attached the diamonds that were set aside, directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot, then added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, stamped a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut with paper snips the sentiment. I added dimensionals and added it to the card front.

For the inside, all I did was stamp the sentiment – again from the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I added this to the inside of the card – and done!

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I inked just a portion of the flower with the Pumpkin Pie Marker, huffed on it and stamped. I used the Peach Pie Marker as before to add color.

Stampin ‘ Up! Front flap Thinking of You Fun Fold

Posted on February 9, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hi folks! Today is – GAME DAY… are you for the red (Kansas City Chiefs) or green for the Eagles? Because of where I live, the Eagles are the players of choice. :O)

On Thursday evening I learned a friend of mine is on hospice care and it really threw me for a loop. I was shocked and dismayed – and heartbroken. This card is for her…

I combined a couple of Stampin’ Up! items… Winter Meadow DSP and the free during Sale-a-Bration bundle called Heart Shaped. It’s delicate, it’s beautiful and perfect for so many occasions.. Here I used I a heart stamped from paper I created with Blending brushes and several colors. I’ll link to the post here that will give all the info about how to do that. The two small flowers were die cut from that same paper with dies from Heart Shaped Dies.

I began with a Thick Basic White card stock 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 scored on the long side at 4 1/4. Cut layer pieces (here it was Misty Moonlight cs) 3 1/8 x 5 3/8 for the front and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 for the inside. DSP panels should be 3 x 5 1/4 and 1 x 5 1/4. Adhere the larger DSP panel to the larger card stock piece then secure to the card front. The 1″ strip should be added to a Basic White piece 4 x 5 1/4 for the inside of the card. Cut another piece of Basic White 1 x 3 and score at 1/2″ on one end. This will become the tab for the front ‘flap’. Add this tab to the back of the card stock layer for the inside of the card, centering it top to bottom. Now add this card stock to the inside of the card. It will look like the photo below.

Add the 1″ DSP strip to the right edge of the Basic White layer, then stamp the sentiment.. Here the sentiment is from Everyday Greetings stamp set and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink I also added the stamped heart, twice – once in Pretty in Pink and the second in Moody Mauve stamped off once. Adhere this to the inside of the card.

Now close the card and center the square that attaches to the flap. The layers are Basic White 2 3/4 x 2 3/4, Winter Meadow DSP cut 2 5/8 x 2 5/8. The die c ut heart is attached with tiny dabs of liquid glue. The flowers are attached with a mini dimensional for one and liquid glue for the other. The sentiment is again from Everyday Greetings and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. It was die cut with a banner die from the Heart Shaped dies, then one end trimmed. This was attached with mini dimensionals.

Unfortunately I do not have a photo of the envelope – ugh! – but I did attach more of the Winter Meadow DSP to the flap, trimmed to fit, then stamped the grouping of flowers in Pretty In Pink ink on the envelope front.

I made three more cards using this same ‘pattern’ but chose different DSP for those and different card stock bases as well.I’ll share those photos below.

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

Posted on January 30, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday & the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I have chosen to use items in the Wildflower Birthday Suite for my card.

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebrations card front

I’ve taken some liberties with the sketch… in lieu of the circle, I used the banner die in the Birthday Celebrations Dies with Peach Pie card stock and behind it is Gold Foil attached to Lost Lagoon card stock for the vertical element. But I am ahead of myself. :O)

The card base is Lost Lagoon 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. The next two layers are Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to Gold Foil 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and added to the card base with dimensionals. The vertical element is adhered directly to Timeless Plaid with liquid glue. The banner die (used in lieu of the circle for the sketch) is die cut from Peach Pie card stock and attached with dimensionals. The cake is one of the awesome die cuts supplied in the Wildflower Birthday 12×12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I attached it directly to the banner with liquid glue. The two floral images are also part of the die cuts in the Wildflower 12×12 SDSP and are attached with min i dimensionals. As a final touch, three Party Dots (part of the Wildflower Birthday Suite) were added to the card front,

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebration card inside

Because this card is for someone specific… and it’s their 41st birthday :O), I again used stamps & dies in the Birthday Celebration bundle. The sentiments are all stamped in Lost Lagoon ink. The numbers are die cut in both Peach Pie and Gold Foil sheets and adhered offset with liquid glue- all on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This piece was added to the Lost Lagoon card base on the inside – and the card was done.

For the envelope front I added elements of the Wildflower 12×12 SDSP with die cuts supplied in the DSP package – and more of the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP on the flap.

STAMPIN’ UP! Mixed Media Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 9, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday – and welcome to Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and so many of these colors come from a specific DSP that I kept this super simple.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card front

You can see I focused on the colors Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Boho Blue. The card base is Boho Blue, standard A2 card size 8 1/2 x5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The Basic White panel is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 with the Mixed Media Florals DSP cut 3 3/4 x 5 and adhered to it. I wrapped the Navy ribbon from the Natural Tones Linen Thread pack around these two, twice, and tied a bow, adhering that with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the Mixed Labels Dies. I love the design around the edge! I added three Opals Round Assortments in Daffodil Delight from the Annual Catalogue. I added dimensionals and attached to the DSP panels, then added those to the card base – also with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card inside

For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped this fun partial image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. This was adhered directly to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card & envelope

I did exactly the same for the envelope front… stamping a partial image in Memento ink and coloring it with the same Stampin’ Blends. You can clearly see the coloring is different :O) – and the card was done! See below the list of names for purchasing these products from me :O)

Stampin’ Up! Storybook Friends in a Bandstand Card

Posted on January 7, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday January 7! Today is the day… the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog goes LIVE and… benefits of the Jan-Feb 2025 Sale-a-bration Catalog also go into effect. What that means is when you make a purchase of any Stampin’ Up! items: Kits Collection, Last Chance items, the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog OR the new MINI Catalog, Sale-a-bration items are available. How cool is that! There are two levels: a $60 purchase and a $120 Purchase – each allowing different products that are FREE TO YOU. So, shop, shop, shop!

Today’s card is another fun fold, called the bandstand, and it used products from the two mini catalogs going live today. The Designer Series Paper DSP) is a free Sale-a-bration item, and the rabbit, sentiment and delicate frame die are from the Storybook Friends bundle and Storybook Moments 12×12 SDSP. Here ya go…

Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends in a Bandstand Card

How sweet is that rabbit and how gorgeous that frame!!! I adhered the frame to a Window Sheet so all the DSP would show :O) The rabbit is fussy cut from the Storybook Moments SDSP and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink from the Storybook Friends stamp set and die cut with a die from Happy Little Things Dies, retiring. It is attached with a dimensional on the right end and liquid glue to the rabbit. And here’s the top-down view.

Stampin' Up! Bandstand card top-down view

This card fold flat and works perfectly in a standard envelope. Here’s the envelope for the card

Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends card & envelope

That cute rabbit is from the Storybook Friends stamp set and is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin/ Blends: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Old Olive.

Here’s how to make this card…

Card base, back: 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 scored on long side at 3/4 & 4 5/8. Burnish.

Card base, front: cut 2 – 1 1/4 x 4 1/8, score on long side 3/4, 2 1/2, 4 1/2 & 6 1/4. Burnish. These are the pop-out sections.

Decorate:

Cut DSP for inside back, 5/8 x 4 1/8, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8 and again 5/8 x 4 1/8 and adhere to the inside back.

For pop-out sections: cut a single strip 1 1/8 x 5 1/8 then trim to 1 5/8 x 1 1/8, 1 7/8 x 1 1/8 and lastly 1 5/8 x 1 1/8. By cutting this as a single strip and trimming down, this allows for a continuous pattern. Do this twice, then adhere to the pop-out strips, leaving the ends without DSP

Turn strips over and adhere Tear n’ Tape to the ends as shown.

Putting together:

Leaving the strips face down, lay the decorated back panel, decoration side down and even at top of strip, centering the back panel between score lines. There will maybe be a 1/16″ between the score line and the back panel. Remoce cover on Tear n’ Tape & adhere to back panel. Do this again at the bottom. Notice there is ‘wiggle room’ on the ends in the photo – this is as it should be!

Now is the perfect time to decorate the back of the card where you can write your message.

Here I used Peach Pie as a nice contrasting color, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8, and adhered it to the back. I cut a Basic White 3 5/8 x 4 and stamped it with an image from Storybook Friends in Memento ink, coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Peach Pie & Old Olive. I adhered this in place.

Decorate the front: the key here is to provide something to ‘stabilize’ the card and. to adhere it only to the center panel. It can extend beyond the center panel as the pop-out sections go back not forward.

Die cut from Basic White this gorgeous frame. With liquid glue adhere it to a Window Sheet.
Add Window Sheet to card front adhering only to the center panel with Stampin’ Seal
Fussy cut the bunny from the Storybook Moments SDSP OR use one of the fabulous pieces that can be punched out – 2 sheets of these are provided in the SDSP pack!

Fun, fun! And you can get these today – click the phot below to see what’s available in the Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold with Calming Creek Cards & Mixed Florals Bundle

Posted on January 6, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my – tomorrow – Jan 7 is the BIG DAY for ordering from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog AND using benefits from the Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Catalog. WooHoo! Excitement is building!!! My card today uses the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and the Mixed Florals Bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this bundle (and it’s part of a suite of products too). So… here’s the card.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek Card w/ Mixed Florals Bookfold

I folded the Calming Creek card on it’s score line then scored again at 3 1/4. Between the 4 1/4 & 3 1/4 scores I added adhesive to secure it in place. I wrapped that section with Bordered Ribbon in Basic Beige and secured it with a glue dot at the knot. I took one of the Elements of Text stamps (also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and stamped a Basic Beige panel in two places with Memento Ink – see the image. I die cut the panel with second from the largest Perennial Postage Dies then removed just enough from the left edge for it to fit on the book fold front. Save this removed piece!

On a Basic White piece, I stamped the floral image in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Wild Wheat, Daffodil Delight and Summer Splash. Once the coloring was complete, I added Wink of Stella to many of the small flowers, to the large flowers and to some areas of the leaves. I die cut this with the appropriate die from the Mixed Florals Dies, added dimensionals to the back and attached it to the card front. I then stamped the super cute lady bugs from Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink and colored with Petunia Pop Blends.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek Book fold card inside

On the inside of the card I added the removed cut strip from the Perennial Postage die cut and that was it.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek card & envelope

Here is the card with it’s own envelope. I love how they coordinate. And yes, I could have stamped a portion of the floral stamp, but chose to keep it simple.
