Stampin’ Up! Expanding & Angled Fun Fold with Endless Love Bundle

Posted on January 31, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! The wind chill is minus 8 degrees this morning – definitely not typical NJ weather. I have a super sweet heart card for you today… just you wait. The directions and inspiration came from http://www.lisasstampstudio.com. This was much easier to create than it looks and I love the mix of patterns in the Made with Love 12×12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Expanding & Angled Fun Fold w/ Endless Love bundle, card front

In the photo above, you can see how it is shaped like a w with the angled cuts. In the photo at right, you can see the various decorated angles – all die cuts are from the Endless Love Dies. You can also see that on the last panel, left an opening for the heart insert.

In the two photos above, you can see the heart insert. These were die cut with the Endless Love Dies and tied together with ribbons ( 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon that I cut in half lengthwise, the 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon and Linen Thread.

Just to be clear, the hearts are not symmetrical on each side, so the large front heart appears cock-eyed, but it isn’t. I wove the two ribbons through the open holes (1/8′ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon + Linen Thread) & tied a bow. For a bit of extra sweetness, I added hearts to the tails of the Bubble Bath ribbon, die cuts from small heart dies in the bundle. The heart is added to the front angle with dimensionals.

I used Flirty Flamingo for the card base and expanding angles, Real Red for various heart die cuts, and Basic White for additional die cuts. The DSP is Made with Love 12×12 DSP. I adhered in various places the Loose Valentine Assortments. Stamping was done with Real Red ink. Ribbons: Linen Thread, 1/8″ Bubble Bath Faux Linen Thread and 1/2″ Iridescent Ribbon cut in half lengthwise.

Basic Measurements:

Card base – 5 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored on long side at 1″ & 2″

Angled base – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored in half at 4 1/4; leave folded and cut from the top score line to the bottom right tip. Reserve cut panels

DSP:

inside back – 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; strips – 7/8 x 5 3/8
expanding angle – cut 3, 4 x 5 1/4, cut diagonally
inside triangle – 4 x 5 1/4 cut diagonally

Basic White: 4 x 5 1/4, cut diagonally (for the expanding angle – see photos)

Additional card stock: Real Red, Basic White for die cuts

Stampin’ Up! Love Notes Card

Posted on January 30, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning stamping friends. The temp today here in my neck of the woods is… ZERO! The 10″ of snow that fell last Sunday is frozen solid and dangerous for walking. The streets are pretty clear; wildlife is suffering… 17 deer passed by our back yard this morning looking for food and water. We cannot get to our heated bird bath or feeders due to the ice. UGH!

My card today is full of hearts. It uses the Love Notes 6×6 DSP, Loose Valentine Assortment for embellishments and 1/4″ White ribbon from the Starter Ribbon Pack – and the Endless Love bundle. The card base is Flirty Flamingo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Cut this particular panel of Love Notes 6×6 along the pattern separation and adhere the larger piece to the card front 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. To the remaining panel add a Flirty Flamingo strip along the right edge and trim to 5 1/2 length. Wrap this panel with the ribbon, creating a knot on the front. Secure the knot with a glue dot, add dimensionals to the back of this panel and attach to the card along the fold line. Using the Endless Love stamp set, stamp the heart design with Real Red ink on a Basic White piece and die cut with the coordinating Endless Love Dies, attach to the card front with dimensionals. Now add the Loose Valentine Assortments. I added five.

For the inside of the card… I added a strip of the Love Notes 6×6 to a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel and attached more of the Loose Valentine Assortments with liquid glue. I love the simplicity of this card – yet it has lots of texture!

For the envelope… I added a piece of the Made with Love 12×12 DSP and trimmed to fit – and that was it! This card is ready to go! The fun part of this card is, it could be used to send to a friend struggling with health issues or sent as a friendly hello or a birthday card. With no particular sentiment this card fits many purposes.

We are getting close to the end of the Stampin’ Up! BONUS DAYS. What is that – read below.

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek of Delicate Whispers from March Online Exclusives

Posted on January 29, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & i’ve chosen to wirk with a new soon to be released March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE called Delicate Whispers. I’m using both the stamp set & the dies plus a couple of other fun products. Here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes Bundle, card front

Do you notice all those beautiful and delicate die cuts of leaves & fronds? They are from the Delicate Wishes Dies which are part of the Delicate Whispers Suite Collection to be released March 3.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Whispers Bundle, March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE

I began by die cutting all the pieces I wanted to use from the Delicate Whispers Dies using Nature Walk 12 x 12 DSP & the coordinating Natural Hues 12 x 12 from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog pages 38-41. The Very Vanilla panel is the smallest of the Branching Out Dies, and cut down even more narrow for my purposes. The embossed panel is die cut from Nature Walk DSP using the Fragrant Layers Dies, a January ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I embossed this piece using the Delicate Whispers stamp set, VersaMark ink and WOW! Gold Embossing powder & heat set it.

Layers:

Mossy Meadow card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/8 with Nature Walk DSP cut 3 7/8 x 5 and attached to i, then added to card base with dimensionals

I added the die cuts to the card front with liquid adhesive then attached the Very Vanilla die cut with dimensionals. The embossed banner was attached with Stampin’ Seal. Two Natural Matte Dots were added to the banner (part of the Delicate Dreams Suite Collection)

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes bundle, inside card

On the 4 x 5 1/4 Very Vanilla panel I added another of the die cuts from the Delicate Whispers Dies cut from Natural Hues 12×12. I stamped the sentiment from Delicate Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink, added the rest of the Die cut banner from the Fragrant Layers Dies. The final step was stamping the beautiful frond from Delicate Whispers stamp set in Crumb Cake ink.

For the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes card & envelope

I stamped the same delicate frond as on the inside of the card on the envelope front and added more of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP to the flap – & one & done! This card fits so many possibilities: masculine, birthday, just a note, friendly hello – the list goes on. I hope when these items are available you will give them a ‘go’.

Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 22, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Thursday – and welcome to our fabulous blog hop group! We have a sketch challenge today – flowers – and I’m pleased to share what I created for this hop. It uses the Fragrant Layers bundle that is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE, meaning not pictured in any of the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

This card is just so bright & fresh looking to me. And I love all the texture. So… how to make this

The card base is Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4
Using the second largest of the Perennial Postage dies, die cut a Basic White piece & stamp it with the large floral in Fragrant Layers stamp set with Memento Black ink.
Using the coordinating stamps in the Fragrant Layers stamp set, add color to the leaves: Old Olive, and color to the flowers: Calypso Coral.
Die cut more of the tiny flowers from Basic White, color the centers with Darling Duckling and add to the large flowers with liquid glue.
Add this panel to Lovely & Beautiful SDSP ( 3 5/8 x 4 7/8) that was attached to a Calypso panel 3 3/4 x 5. Put dimensionals on the back & add to the card front.
On a Basic Black strip, run the embossing buddy across the paper to remove any static and stamp the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkle it with WOW! White Embossing powder & heat set.
Die cut this piece with the die in the Fragrant Layers dies, put dimensionals on the back and add to the card front.
Add embellishments to the flowers & on the card (5 in all) Iridescent Floral Gems
Add a bow with the white twine pulled apart and attach with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers inside card

For the inside…

Add a 1/2 x 4″ strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP to the bottom of the card
Stamp the flower in Memento ink (from Fragrant Flowers stamp set) & color with Calypso Coral ink
Stamp the leaf in Old Olive ink
I then put the Basic White panel on my scoring board and scored twice on the left – for more texture.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Layers card & envelope

I used the same leaf stamp as on the inside of the card to stamp several leaves across the bottom of the envelope in Old Olive ink. I then added another strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP to the flap & finis! I love the freshness of the completed card.

Stampin’ Up! Brushed with Beauty for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 15, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the weekly Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and if you have come from Tara or just hopped right in here – glad you stopped by! You will get some fun ideas today so let’s begin…

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty for sketch challenge

I began with Very Vanilla A2 size card. The floral pattern of the Brushed with Beauty is 2 x 4 and I adhered a thin strip (!/2 x 4) of another pattern from this package of DSP to the left side of the floral piece and adhered it to the card base – a 1/4″ edge on three sides. I then cut a piece of Crumb Cake 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 and stamped it with this fun pattern using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set and Crumb Cake ink. I then adhered a strip of Mossy Meadow 1/2 x 5 1/2 to create the same edge as the upper panel & adhered it in place. I die cut the leaf from Mossy Meadow and set it aside while I made the sCake ink on a Very Vanilla strip 1/2 x 3 3/4. The leaf was added to the back of the stripn with liquid glue, then the strip added to the card front with dimensionals. As a final touch – three Pressed Flower Motifs were attached to bring it all together. These embellishments are an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE item from the Beautiful Gallery Suite.

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card inside

For the inside… Crumb Cake ink and items in the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set were stamped on the Very Vanilla insert (4 x 5 1/4)

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Brushed with. Beauty DSP was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the envelope front, the same leaf as on the inside of the card was stamped on the front – also in Crumb Cake ink. And there you have it – finis!

Now… time to see what others have created for today’s hop. Remember to check below on how to order from me, get those Bonus Days coupons, see the Product of the month and MORE! Make sure you visit Nicole – next on the list!

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

Posted on January 8, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our 2nd hop of 2026! If you came from the fabulous Tara or just popped right in here, we’re glad you stopped in. We have a fun color challenge today and I have chosen Strawberry Slush, Bubble Bath & Real Red for my colors with a new fun fold. Let’s take a look.

Fun Folds can sometimes be difficult or time consuming – this one is not. It begins with a card base 5 1/2 x 10 1/2 scored on the long side @ 2, 4, 4 1/4, 6 1.4, 8 1/4 & 8 1/2 (Strawberry Slush card stock). In the last 2″ section, add adhesive and adhere to the first section, securing just to the score line. This will now be the back of the card. Add your contrasting layer(Bubble Bath) to each panel (4 panels 1 7/8 x 5 3/8). Add your Designer Series Paper (2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP) to three panels & Basic White to the last panel – which is the back. (3 panels of DSP 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 & 1 panel of Basic White same size.) Add sentiments and stamping to the Basic White panel. Decorate front with a sentiment (Hearts of Elegance stamp set) stamping in Bubble Bath and die cutting with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Stamp the heart in Real Red, fussy cut and adhere it with a single dimensionals to the die cut sentiment. Add the sentiment with liquid adhesive to the double scored section on the front. Add lots of embellishments for glam… Strawberry Slush and Pretty In Pink Gems (from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.) Here’s how it looks from the top down and a photo of the completed back.

Stampin' Up! Diamond Fun Fold from the top

diamond Fun Fold back of cardStampin' Up!

This card folds flat to go into a regular A2 envelope :O) Speaking of the envelope, stamp the sentiment on the front using Real Red ink and the Hearts of Elegance stamp set. Add the same 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 DSP to the flap (Strawberry Slush) – and finis! This is such a quick & easy fun fold and yet it is new and different.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 18, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the week before Christmas – and this fun blog hop with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today… I’ve chosen to use the Simply Beautiful bundle & other products in the Lovely & Beautiful Suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful Bundle card front

I began with a Fresh Freesia card base and added two layers of the Lovely & Beautiful Special DSP, off-setting them for the challenge and attached them with dimensionals. I then pulled out Petal Pink to die cut the two flower pieces and Gold Foil for the stems & leaves. I used a sponge dauber & Calypso Coral ink to add dimension to the flower centers. Using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies, I also die cut the sweet label under the flower from Basic White and used the same sponge dauber to sponge the edges. I stamped the sentiment in Petal Pink ink and fussy cut along the bottom. This was attached with dimesnionals. Final touch… the awesome Pearlized Faceted Circles. Let me explain the flower layers a bit more… I added the two petal layers with a single cut in half mini dimensional, but it didn’t quite ‘sit’ the way I wanted, so I rolled a glue dot and attached that to one of the petals and it did the trick. The gold foil stamen is added with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card inside

For the inside… The leaf is stamped with Memento ink – my ink pad is way juicy and the image is quite strong 😦 But I colored the leaf with Stampin’ Blends in Old Olive. I added the Basic White panel to another piece of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP and attached them to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card & envelope

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

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

Our theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that any needed way. I have chosen to use the brand new products in the Lovely & Beautiful suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 23-29. This is an absolutely gorgeous suite & I’m highlighting only a small bit of it.

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

The background is this fun checkered pattern & I’ve stamped this sentiment from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral. I then die cut from the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper the flower & leaves using the Simply Beautiful Dies. The leaves & tiny pieces are adhered directly to the card front while the flower is on dimensionals as is the stamen (it’s on a mini dimensional cut in half!) I then added these gorgeous Pearlized Faceted Circles that are also a part of the suite. The Specialty DSP was added to a Basic panel slightly larger then attached to the Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals. I made a small Linen Thread bow and tucked it under the flower, adhering with a dab of glue.

For the inside of the card, I used yet another of the Simply Beautiful Dies to die cut this flower from the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP. Before attaching it in place I stamped this decorative design using a stamp from Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. I adhered the flower then stamped the sentiment – again in Calypso Coral ink – then adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

For the envelope… more of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front is this leaf, stamped in Old Olive ink using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set. While this is very springy in color, I’m using this as a birthday card for my friends birthday in December – something non traditional ‘Decemberish’ 😀 For information on how to get the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, see below.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 4, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday – Dec 4 – and the super fun blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today that is just perfect to show off a new January-April 2026 Mini Catalog product – some of the Cute As A Bug Suite. Just super, super cute! Thanks for joining me today.

This super cute ‘bug’ is a die cut (from Sweet Bugs Dies) using the Designer Series Paper called Cute As A Bug 12×12. It may be found in the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 42-44. I added a Basic White backing for strength. The sentiment comes from the Sweet Bug stamp set. and the DSP these sit on is more of the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. It was added to a Mossy Meadow panel just slightly larger. The embossing folder is also brand new – it’s called Lovely Stripes and is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE coming in January. It was dry embossed on Crushed Curry card stock and added to as Crushed Curry card base.The embellishments I used are Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow.

For the inside of the card I die cut another cute ‘fellow’ from the Cute As A Bug DSP and adhered it to a Basic White panel. I also stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Bug stamp set in Mossdy Meadow ink. This panel is attached to Mossy Meadow & both added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card & envelope front

A super cute stamp of these ants mar ching along… from the Sweet Bug stamp set. I stamped in Pecan Pie ink – should have usede Memento Black ink. I colored with Stampin’ Blends Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight & Real Red.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs Card & envelope back

For the envelope back I attached more of the same design from the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. Tuesday, the day I made this card ,was a dismal, dreary day outside – rained all day – 2 1/2″ plus – and making this card made me smile. Hope it makes you smile too. If you do not have a copy of the new January to April 2026 Mini Catalog, please reach out to me – I can fix that!

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines & Snowflakes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Good morning sweet friends – HAPPY THANKSGIVING! My prayer for you is that you are able to be thankful & grateful for your life and those in your life. Life is short – love fully & completely. Our life changes when we support one another & give back. Special blessings!

It’s hop time in the Inkin’ Krew world… and our theme is winter/ snow I had all kinds of ideas going through my head and ended with doing something quite traditional.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines & Snowflakes

The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Elegant Pines DSP covering the front of the card base. I then pulled out Lost Lagoon card stock & removed any particles with my embossing buddy and proceeded to stamp several snowflake images in VersaMark ink. I sprinkled these with WOW! White Embossing Powder & heat set it with my heat tool. I let that cool and stamped the pine needles in Lost Lagoon ink. I roughed the edges of the Lost Lagoon with my scissors and bent & curled some edges & attached it to the card front with dimensionals. I also stamped a Basic White strip with a sentiment from Delicate Pines in Lost Lagoon ink & snowflake & pine needles in Lost Lagoon and Old Olive inks. I added this fun Bordered Ribbon to the b ack of the sentiment strip & attached it to the Lost Lagoon front with dimesnionals. As a final touch I added these embellishments to the centers of several snowflakes.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines inside of card

For the inside… I fussy cut this snowflake from the Elegant Pines DSP and adhered it with liquid glue to a Basic White panel then stamped the sentiment from Delicate Pines stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines & snowflakes card & envelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful pine branch in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with WOW! White embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool. When dry I used my Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend to color the area over the snowflake for an emboss resist look. :O) I buffed it gently to remove ink from the embossing.
