New product | TLsBrightSpot

Good Thursday morning! How’s your week going? Mine is good, lots going on, but that’s OK. Working with others is medicine for my soul :O) We have a sketch challenge for our hop today and I’m excited to share a new product from the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog – or maybe a few new products. :O)

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Let me just say, I am LOVING this bundle! This comes in a suite of products called Joy Of Christmas and includes two stamp sets with dies, stunningly glorious DSP (2 packs), ribbon and gems & sequins. They may be found on pages 28-31 in the Min Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog. If you don’t have a catalog, reach out to me… I can ‘fix’ that!

This is a slimline card… card base is Shaded Spruce card stock with a layer of some of this gorgeous Joy of Christmas 12 x 12 DSP then a layer of Vellum adhered to that and a smaller piece of another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. Then… I took out this glorious die for the background banner. It includes these off-shoots of leaves and holly, etc. I decided to die cut from yet another panel of the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. I pulled out the Joy of Noel Dies to die cut holly (from Garden Green card stock) and pine sprigs (from Shaded Spruce card stock.) These were added to the back of the banner die cut from DSP with Stampin’ Seal then added to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out a Basic White scrap and stamped this fun mixed font message which is from Christmas Classics stamp set and stamped it in Shaded Spruce ink. I die cut that with a die from the Christmas Classics Dies and added it to the larger banner with dimensionals. I added the Real Red gems from the Loose Holly and Gems & Sequins Pack.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Classics card inside

For the inside of the card… a piece of Real Red card stock with a layer of Basic White. Before adhering the Basic White panel I stamped it with the holly in Shaded Spruce ink, then the sentiment in Real Red ink. Both come from Christmas Classics stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! does not have envelopes that fit this size card, but I happened to have one in red :O). I stamped the cute holly stamp in Shaded Spruce ink on the front and on the envelope flap – and then didn’t take a picture of it. Ugh!

Card cuts for this card:

Shaded Spruce (card base): 7 x 8 1/2 scored @ 3 1/2 on the short side

Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP: 2 5/8 x 8 1/2; 1 3/4 x 5 (plaid strip); 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 (banner die cut)

Vellum : 2 5/8 x 5 12

Happy Happy 2023!I’ve been a bit out of the loop for a bit – hubby had surgery & my attention was all about that, then Christmas & family – and now, here we are. I hope you had a really good holiday, however you celebrate things. Ours was quieter, of course, but still wonderful. We are so blessed with wonderful family. – and hubby is improving every day. 👍🙏

My card today is a sneaky peek at one of the HOST stamp options for the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, which will be available come Jan 5. And that’s just really soon! I’ve also used some DSP that is free with a qualifying order during the Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration period – Dainty Flowers DSP.

Isn’t this a cute, sassy frog? I’m going to name him Alfred – and no, I have no idea where that came from. 😀 You can see there are no flowers on this side of the Dainty Flowers DSP – it looks similar to watercolors – love, love. And the hinge flap has a sentiment from another new stamp set called Sending Support – also FREE with a qualifying order during Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration. I’ve die cut the sentiment with Stylish Shapes Dies. I extended the length of the die cut a bit to make the sentiment fit. But I’ll explain that.

Hinge Flap Fun Fold:

Cut card base 81/2 x 5 1/2 and score at 4 1/4 on the long side.
Trim off 1 1/2 from the long side; score this at 4 1/4
Adhere this strip to the card base about 3/4″ from bottom with the fold on the edge (I adhered it lower and don’t like where it is!) This is now your hinge flap!

Decorate:

Cut panels of DSP: front – 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; hinge flap – 1 1/4 x 4; inside – 1 3/4 x 4; envelope flap – 2 1/4 x 6
Cut Basic White panels: front – 2 1/2 x 4; inside 4 x 5 1/4; sentiment banner for hinge flap 1 1/4 x 3
On the front panel:
- Stamp the frog in Old Olive – this is a two-step stamp, so stamp the inner then the outline
- Stamp the log in Soft Suede – again aa two-step stamp, stamp the inner then then outline stamp
- Stamp the bee in Crushed Curry & Memento inks – CC for the wings, then the body in Memento
- Add this panel to the card front
On the inside panel:
- Add the 1 3/4 x 4 DSP to the far right edge
- Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the Sending Support stamp set
- Adhere this to the inside of the card, covering where the hinge flap is attached
On the hinge flap:
- Add DSP to the flap (1 1/4 x 4)
- Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink from Sending Support stamp set on the remaining Basic White strip
- Die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies: Die cut about 2/3 of length by placing the top cutting plate so it covers just 2/3 of die; run it through the die cutting machine; replace die to cover other end of stamped sentiment, matching or lining up die, then placing top cutting plate just over that area to be die cut, run it through the die cutting machine – and done!
- Attache die cut sentiment to hinge flap with dimensionals
Add Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to both hinge flap and card front
