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!

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! Dan’s Fun Fold

Posted on June 9, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning. I have an easy card for you today, that my grandson Dan made for his Dad for Father’s Day. Remember, I have limited supplies with me (only three stamp sets!) so no Happy Father’s Day stamp. I know… I should have planned better. Here’s his card.

I cut and scored the papers, he did everything else, including choosing the sentiments. I really like this card and know his Dad will too. Basic White Thick card stock for the card base, scored at 2 1/4 and 5 1/2. The 5 1/2 score is a valley fold and the 2 1/4 a mountain fold. it looks like this.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Fun Fold side view

This could be an easel card, but it isn’t :O) The three card front panels are adhered together and attached to the upper panel, making certain the adhesive is only on the upper portion. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap using the Layered Leaves stamp set & die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. It was attached with dimensionals. The embellishments are the 2023-2024 In Color Dots in Moody Mauve.

For the inside… The sentiment was stamped in Memento ink using the Layered Leaves stamp set ~ on a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel. This was adhered in place and the 1 1/4 strip were added in various widths – Dan’s idea! I really like how it carries that DSP throughout the card.

Oh, and the DSP at the top of the card… I forgot to mention that. It’s 3 1/8 x 4 1/4. You can also see I took the photo AFTER he wrote on it… I didn’t think it was appropriate to share his thoughts here. His Dad is in hospital right now and it’s likely the kids won’t be with him on Father’s Day. Here’s another photo of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Masterfully Made Masculine Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on June 8, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop! We have a sketch challenge today for our hop & I’m again using some new products I haven’t used yet :O) – Nested Essential Dies for one.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday hop, sketch challenge

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop group

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Masculine card front

As you can see I turned the sketch sideways and changed the center shape, but it works. The Nested Shapes Dies was used to die cut the center image from Masterfully Made DSP. That was my starting point and I built the card around that. Crushed Curry is a match to the yellow and I splattered it lightly with the Light Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. I ran a strip of Basic White through one of my new favorite embossing folders called Exposed Brick 3D EF.. I adhered this directly to the Crushed Curry card base. I added the Nested Shapes die cut with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Cheerful Daisies stamp set, stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the shape you see from the Nested Shapes Dies. It was added to the card with a dimensional at the flat end and a dab of glue at the pointy end. The embellishments are from the Tinsel Gems 4 pack in Berry Burst, the largest color in the center die cut.

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Masculine card inside

For the inside… I added the sentiment (completing the thought from the card front) three times in Memento ink on a Basic White panel. (Remember, it comes from Cheerful Daisies stamp set.) At the bottom, I added a strip of the leftover Masterfully Made DSP. This panel was added to the inside of the card and done, done.

I call this a masculine card, but it wouldn’t have to be. Remember, this is one of the Designer Series Papers on sale for 15% off. Continue reading below for more info about that!

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Go Fishing Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on May 9, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Our hop for this week is “for the men/ boys’ and we can interpret that any way we like. I have a twin brother who likes to carve – and one of the ‘beasts’ he likes to carve is fish. He lives in Oregon and while I have not physically seen the fish he has carved, he is a detail-oriented man and has a real talent with color & design, and this just seemed like a fun idea to me, to create a card around fish. The Let’s Go Fishing DSP in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is really beautiful. The colors are soft – and well, just perfect. I must now order the stamps, dies, etc.!

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

Stampin' Up! Let's Go Fishing Fun Fold. Tue hop 5/9

I’ve used Boho Blue for my card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2, 6 3/4 and 8 7/8. I added layers of Copper Clay to various panels: (2) 4 1/8 x 4 1/8, 3 x 3 (this is on dimensionals) and 1 1/8 x 4 1/8. DSP layers are 4 x 4 and 1 x 4. The Very Vanilla inside layer is 4 x 4. On it is a die cut from Very Vanilla layered onto Pecan Pie. I SHOULD HAVE used Copper Clay ink for the stamping and for the layer for the sentiment!!! It was a goof :O) Ok, where was I ??? :O)

Using the side view, you can see where the facing panel of Copper Clay & DSP are adhered. . on that of course, is the square set on it like a diamond – attached with dimensionals. The Boho Blue panel was run through the Splatters & Stripes Embossing Folder – you know, fish & bubbler! The fish were fussy cut and also added with dimensionals. A few 2023-2025 In Color Dots were added to the diamond shape and one just off, hopefully making it look like bubbles from the fish. C’mon, use your imagination…

Stampin' Up! Let's Go Fishing Fun Fold, side view

Stampin' Up! Let's Go Fishing Fun Fold, inside of card

For the inside of the card, a panel of the Copper Clay then a Very Vanilla panel stamped and with a stamped sentiment die cut. The fun stamped corners are from He’s All That stamp set – a very masculine stamp set. The sentiment is also from that same stamp set, stamped on Very Vanilla and die cut with All That Dies.. I die cut another layer in Pecan Pie, cut it down the middle and added each to the underside of the stamped piece. That got put on dimensionals so the upper portion had something to lean against or ‘stand’ against.I added two 2023-2025 In Color Dots to make the sentiment more pronounced.

Let’s see, I think I forgot one step – the 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 Copper Clay piece with the 1 x 4 Let’s Go Fishing DSP… that all added with liquid glue. The pictures are showing the perfect placement.

I think that’s it. GADS… Did I totally mess with your mind with those directions??? You will see some fun creations today, so take a peak around the various links. Use the ‘previous’ link to visit Karen Finkle or the ‘next’ link to visit Carol, or… click on a name to take you where you want to go. Have fun, enjoy the tour,

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a fun theme challenge today for our scheduled weekly hop – outdoors!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

This is a fun fold… hmmm what do we call this? Side fold? I don’t know. but let me tell you how to make this…

The card base is cut 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 and scored on the long side at 5 1/2. I used the new Misty Moonlight for the base. It has just a hint of gray in it. And it’s perfect for a sailing card :O) I cut a panel of the Sun Prints DSP in stripe 2 1/2 x 4 (yep, it’s retiring and I’m trying to use it!). This was adhered to the left front fold. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine (carrying over!) from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around it twice and tied a knot, which I adhered with a glue dot right at the knot. For the inside, I added a piece of another design but also from Sun Prints DSP, to the right inside of the card base (4 1/8 x 5 3/8). THEN… I cut Basic White card stock 7 1/4 x 3 1/2 and scored it at 3 5/8. This becomes the right-sided fold that flips over the front left panel of the card base. I stamped the two sentiments in Misty Moonlight ink (new!) from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set (retiring!) I then added this basic white folded piece to the card base, as shown.

Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail fun. fold, left side

For the front of that Basic White addition , I added another piece of the Sun Prints DSP (retiring!) to the front of that fold. It was cut 3 3/8 x 3 3/8. Now to decorate that square… Using the Stylish Shapes Dies largest circle, I die cut a piece of the Hues of Happiness DSP (yep, retiring). I stamped the bird image from Let’s Set Sail in Memento ink, then added that circle with dimensionals. Now… the sailboat :O), the boat was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink; the sails were stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then punched with the Sailboat Builder Punch. I added the boat directly to the circle, then attached the sails with mini dimensionals. And guess what, the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Let's Set Sail card & envelope for the Thur hop

For the envelope… more of the Sun Prints DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and another narrow strip added to the bottom of the envelope front. This is yet another great masculine card for my stash – yay!

My demonstrator order of new products arrived from Stampin’ Up! late last night. Somehow it got ‘lost in the shuffle’ and finally arrived. I cannot WAIT TO PLAY!!! What will I play with first? Probably the daisies… I’m a daisy FAN! :O) But who knows?

Time to move on in the hop… click the ‘next’ button to visit Carol, or click on a name if you want to skip around. Enjoy!

It’s Monday morning and a full day ahead… what are your plans? I’ve a bit of computer work today, card making :o), gardening :O) and more, but first, I want to share this masculine birthday card. Part of what makes it masculine is the colors, another is its simplicity and non-fussiness.

I began with retiring Sahara Sand card stock to make this A2 top fold card. Does it seem that I’m trying to use my stash in preparation for all the new? Well – you are sooooo right! I have gotten stuck however, using what’s on my desk. :O( Nonetheless… here’s the card.

Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday w/ By the Bay DSP

As I mentioned, Sahara Sand for the card base. Starting from the front:

By the Bay DSP cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8
Layer this to Basic White 3 x 4
Adhere both to a coordinating By the Bay DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
And Balmy Blue 4 x 5 1/4.
Wrap with a length of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (carrying over!). Adhere ribbon in back with Stampin’ Seal
Adhere all this to the card base with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White scrap. This sentiment comes from Waves of Inspiration stamp set – carrying over!
Die cut sentiment with Waves Dies, carrying over… and adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Enamel Dot Essentials in Crumb Cake and the front is complete

For the inside… adhere a Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to a Balmy Blue piece 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere a strip of By the Bay DSP to the bottom and attach all this to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Masculine birthday w/ By the Bay, card & envelope

The envelope… super simple… a coordinating piece of By the Bay DSP for the envelope flap and this masculine card is ready to be sent.

Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy inks. :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Enamel Dot Essentials or the Sahara Sand card stock. Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine Card

Posted on April 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning! I have a quick and easy masculine card for you today using By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

Notice how the DSP has a continuous flow of the pattern. I love it when that happens! The DSP was cut 1 x 4 (three of them) and adhered to a Balmy Blue panel 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. This was attached to a very slightly larger Sahara Sand card stock, 3 5/8 x 4 5/8. I wrapped this gorgeous Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around these panels and tied a knot. These panels were adhered the to a Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. I took this wonderful image of the seagull on pilings from Waves of Inspiration stamp set and stamped it with Sahara Sand ink. I colored the bill of the seagull very lightly with Watercolor Pencils Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, die cut with the Waves Dies and attached it over the ribbon with dimensionals. And the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration Masculine card inside.

For the inside…. a Sahara Sand panel was attached to the inside of the card, then a piece of Basic White, then a strip of the Bay the Bay on the left side. Also on the inside, I added another piece of the By the Bay DSP to the upper portion of the inside. It just really tied everything together and made the card extra special.

Now for the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Waves of Inspiration card & envelope

This Waves of Inspiration stamp set is just gorgeous! I stamped it first in Balmy Blue ink on the envelope front, then lightly added Night of Navy ink in places and stamped it again. It is really quite stunning. Of course, more of the By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap trimmed to fit.

Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy ink. AND the Watercolor Pencils are also carrying over :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper.

Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.

As so many items are being sold out rapidly, best thing to do is visit my ‘shop’ and see what’s still available. If it’s listed, it’s available. If it isn’t listed, it’s sold out – simple as that. The sale goes to May 1, 2023.

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Book Fold Card

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

Good morning folks! It’s Saturday… and I have a masculine card for you using the By the Bay Designer Series Paper. This is for a gentleman who just had a hip replacement and is struggling with being able to do things. Thankfully he just began rehab, but he’s a bit ‘under the weather’ you might say. He’s a really big man and that’s part of the trouble… moving isn’t easy. So, a card for encouragement!

Isn’t this paper pretty? It’s also masculine and that helps me keep it simple. I really like how these papers coordinate and in corporate other shades of blue and bring in Sahara Sand and some sparkly as well. I used Wisteria Wishes stamp set for the sentiment and Night of Navy ink. To die cut, I used two dies from Something Fancy Dies (carrying over!) and die cut the larger in Night of Navy and the sentiment is Basic White. I wrapped Linen thread around each end of the Basic White piece (this fellow is a sailing friend and it fits), tied knots then added it to the Night of Navy piece with dimensionals. Then onto the card base with liquid glue. I added Sea Glass embellishments to tie in the colors of the DSP.

So… book fold how to:

Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 and 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines
Add adhesive to the area between score lines and secure to the unscored section of the card. And there you have it, the book fold!

My card base is Balmy Blue – a carry over color. :O) The layers on the card are Night of Navy (carry over color) and the DSP. I’ll put the measurements at the bottom of the post. For the inside Idid not add the layer of Night of Navy, but did add a 5/8 strip of the By the Bay DSP to the Basic
White panel.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay book fold, inside

This inside leaves plenty of room for words of personal encouragement for this gentleman. For the envelope, I again kept it really simple… more By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap and that was it. This man does not want fussy.

Now… products… As you know Stampin’ Up! is coming out with their new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog May 2 and have done a color refresh at the same time. That’s why I mentioned Balmy Blue and Night of Navy are carry over colors. Below is a list of those colors being retired.

Pear Pizzazz
Mint Macaron
Rich Razzleberry
So Saffron
Merry Merlot
Pacific Point
Mango Melody
Soft Suede

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek Desert Details Bundle for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on December 13, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to a Tuesday hop with Amy’s Krew! The theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that however…,I’ve created what I consider a masculine card with this delightfully fun Desert Details Bundle available in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, so Jan 5! I can’t believe I’m writing 2023 on stuff – ‘cuz I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

The Desert Details Bundle is very Aztec’y’, different & delightful (‘cuz it is different). I’ve used Designer Series Papers from the suite of products and an embellishment from the suite as well: Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP & Dry-Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP (also 12×12); Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins .

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Celebrate. blog hop 12/13

This doesn’t give a very good image of the center DSP – let’s try another photo…

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Celebrate. blog hop 12/13.2

Here ya go – now you can see the inner DSP a bit better. Look at that wonderful detail! The colors in the various papers of this particular DSP are Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. The polka dot in the background is one of the papers, as is the shiny (this is the Dry-Brushed Specialty DSP!) AND the center paper as well (Delicate Desert DSP). Aren’t they F-U-N? And you see I added a copper trim. And those wonderful embellishments are Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins. Here’s what I created on the inside.

Here you can see two of the very decorative long stamps – stamped in Gray Granite. The sentiment is also part of the Desert Details stamp set and is stamped in Soft Succulent. The very thin strips were remnants from the copper die cut on the front and I had to use them. Unfortunately the more detailed strip isn’t on straight, but can see how very cool it is.

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful detail stamp in Gray Granite near the edge of the envelope, then added more of the Delicate Desert DSP to the flap. This is just a wonderful masculine card. I love the layers of it and all the detail, yet it can so easily be sent to a man. Let’s take a quick peek at the bundle and a closer look at the DSP used.

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold

Posted on December 9, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my goodness… I received some preorder items from the Jan-April Mini Catalog along with a few Jan/Feb Sale-a-bration items and I’m having SO MUCH FUN! Today’s card features Dandy Designs DSP and the Adorable Owls stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog – AND it’s a super easy Fun Fold. Let’s take a peek…

Isn’t this little guy just the cutest! And the sentiment ‘Hoot! Hoot!’ is also from the Adorable Owls stamp set. Actually it’s a partial sentiment… meaning I used some retired Washi tape to cover the part I didn’t want to use. I also used some White 6×6 Glimmer Paper for the upper DSP. The other DSP is called Dandy Designs DSP and is a large pack of 30 sheets of 12×12. The dots are the reverse of the sideways stripes. :O) Let me share with you how to make this fun fold design…

Cut the card base (here it is Balmy Blue) 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and score @ 4 1/4
Cut another panel of Balmy Blue 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (that’s the front largest square)
Cut DSP:
- 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (here I used the White 6×6 Glimmer Paper)
- 4 x 5 1/4 for inside panel
- 3 1/4 x 3 14
Adhere panels to the appropriate places with adhesive of choice.
Stamp the owl from Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White panel
Color owl with Stampin’ Blends
- Light & Dark Soft Suede for the body of the owl
- Dark Daffodil Delight for the eyes
- Dark Basic Black – for the smaller portion of the eyes
- Light Basic Black for the beak + Color Lifter for highlighting
- Dark Pumpkin Pie for the bow tie
Chalk Marker (white) for the eye highlight
Die cut owl panel with Stylish Shapes Dies
Adhere owl to the square panel, centering, with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Adorable Owls stamp set, covering unwanted portion, in Memento Black
Adhere to square panel with mini dimensionals. The right end of the sentiment will need stacked dimensionals
Adhere completed square to top panel only
Add Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems in Balmy Blue

For the inside… cut another Basic White Square 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. Stamp owl as listed above & color. Stamp sentiment using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Memento Black ink. To adhere… open card, lay this panel on the upper panel right side down & upside down, centering it on the square. Add adhesive and close the bottom portion of the card on the piece. Bingo – attached properly 😀👍

For the envelope… more of the same Balmy Blue & White stripe pattern from Dandy Designs DSP – on the flap of course. I chose not to stamp anything on the envelope front. This card was sent already… to a man friend who recently had surgery. I hope he likes it – and he feels better too!

Now, what you need to know about this fun fold… this was a landscape design. It can also be portrait. I’ll share one of those in a couple of days 😁

The Balmy Blue and also the Basic White card stocks are part of the 2022-2023 Annual catalog. The Blends, Memento Black ink and Chalk Marker are in that same catalog as is Inspired Thoughts stamp set. The Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and White Glimmer 6×6 are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog – as Real Red & White 6×6 Glimmer pack. These are all available for purchase through my online store (see below). If you do not have a demonstrator & need catalogs, please reach out to me.
