Stampin’ Up! New ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Marbled Elegance Suite

Posted on December 6, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good day sweet folks… we had card class yesterday using the the Marbled Elegance products from the suite – ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. This is a sweet, sweet set of stamps/ dies – the Heart of Elegance Bundle. Take a peek at the card and notice the deep embossing on the white heart – love! And what I like a lot is that this card could be a masculine card, birthday card, anniversary card, thinking of you card, or a LOVE card :O) It’s versatile. And… this is a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Marbled Elegance fun fold side view

I wanted you to see the side view to notice how the center is the fold fold portion. So maybe we call this a ‘center fun fold’??? If you have a better name for it, let me know!

I began with a card base of Real Red 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layered a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. Cut a Basic White 3 1/4 x 8 and score on long side at 4. Attach to card base, centering and even with the Basic White at top & bottom. Cut two strips of DSP 7/8 x 3 3/4 and add to side edges. They will lay up against the center folded panel. (my DSP strips are 3/4″ wide and I didn’t like all the white. Trust me, it looks better with wider strips!) Add the Marbled Elegance DSP 3 x 3 3/4 to the front of this panel. Now cut a heart from Gold Foil and another from Basic White and adhere together. Attach with dimensionals to the fun fold panel. I stopped here but there is more that could be done: add adhesive-backed gold hearts from the suite, add a bow using the gold twine in the suite; or add a sentiment banner across the front. Because I have someone specific in mind for this card, I knew they would prefer something more on the simple side – and it’s gorgeous as is – in my opinion that is.

For the inside.. my students (remember this was a card class) chose to heat emboss with the Gold WOW embossing powder, the sentiment ‘Love you” from the Heart of Elegance stamp set. I took a scrap strip of the DSP and adhered it across the bottom. I will heat emboss a sentiment, just not now.

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.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love card & envelope

The Lifetime of Love stamp set has this sweet leaf stamp and I used it with Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the image. The flap is covered in the same pattern from the Poetic Expressions DSP. And the card is complete! You can see below the names of those participating in the hop, how to purchase the products and the benefits to my customers. Thanks for viewing and commenting on my card.

Stampin’ Up! Lifetime of Love Bundle

Posted on January 27, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello to the weekend! Hope you have something fun planned. We’ve hads a week of pretty nasty weather – cold, windy, rain (like pouring rain). Today we were able to walk without getting drenched.

I pulled out another new product for today’s card – can’t believe I haven’t played with this bundle yet – Lifetime of Love Bundle. This set can be used for so many cards: anniversary, just because, valentines, wedding. I especially love the dies :O) And here’s just one of them.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Bundle, card front

I die cut the image from Delightful Floral 12×12 DSP – a Calypso Coral side, using the Lifetime of love Dies. I then colored the flower with a sponge dauber and Calypso Coral ink. Next I added more color to the leaves: Pretty Peacock then Parakeet Party, both with sponge daubers. I pulled Petal Pink card stock, ran it through the Softly Sophisticated 3D embossing folder (a FREE Product with a qualified order during Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration), then tapped it lightly with the Whisper White ink pad. I laid the die cut image on the embossed panel to determine where the sentiment should be, then stamped that sentiment from Lifetime of Love stamp set in Early Espresso ink. I probably should have stamped it prior to the embossing, but didn’t. – shame on me. It still turned out well. I adhered the die cut piece with small dabs of liquid glue and added it to the card front. I cut a piece of Basic White slightly larger and adhered the two together, put dimensionals on the back and attached it to a Petal Pink card base. For a bit of flourish, I added three Iridescent Foil Gems from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog and a bow from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack in Petal Pink. This duo is in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Bundle, card inside

For the inside, I stamped the leaf from Lifetime of Love stamp set using Parakeet Party ink than a sponge dauber to bring in some Pretty Peacock. The sentiment is from Lifetime of Love stamp set and is stamp in Pretty Peacock ink. If you have never tried adding extra depth of color with a sponge dauber – DO! It can make a dramatic difference. Here I wanted a subtle effect of color on the leaf and like it a lot.

Stampin' Up! Lifetime of Love Bundle card & envelope

For the envelope… I ran just the flap of the envelope through the embossing folder by placing the the flap inside the embossing folder and folding the remainder of the envelope under the folder. You can see the direction is different, but that’s ok. For the front of the envelope, I stamped the floral image in Calypso Coral ink – and that was that.

I mentioned using products from three Stampin’ Up! catalogs: the 2023 Annual Catalog, the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog and the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog.

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! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Theme Challenge

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!
