Stampin’ Up! Charming Duck Pond for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on July 11, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Today we have a theme challenge titled ‘birds’ and I have chosen to use the Charming Duck Pond bundle & it’s coordinating Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP – and made another front flap fun fold :O) For my birds – I chose to use these sweet ducks.

Oh my goodness – such a cute array of stamps and dies in this bundle. I especially like the dies! So let me explain how I did this card.

The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in Pretty Peacock. I layered it with a panel of 4 x 5 1/4 Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP. I cut another piece of Pretty Peacock card stock 3 x 8 1/2 and scored it at 4 1/4. This was adhered to the card base front with the fold at the top and centered – this is the front flap fold. I decorated this first with another piece of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP in the same pattern as the card front, cut 2 3/4 x 4 and adhered it in place. From a Basic White panel 4 x 3 3/4 I centered this stunning circle die that cuts & embosses the fun design. It has cattails and reeds and lily pads – perhaps you can see the embossing on the cattails from this die. I created another die cut with Granny Apple Green card stock 1 x 3 for additional lily pads – and a scrap of Pretty Peacock for one more lily pad – and a flower in Pretty in Pink card stock. I layered these in place with liquid glue. The additional reed and cattails were die cut from another piece of the Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP and adhered these also with liquid glue. I took yet another piece to showcase these adorable ducks & cut this 3 7/8 x 3 5/8 and adhered it to the back of the Basic White die cut. These I added to another piece of Pretty Peacock cut 4 1/8 x 3 7/8 and adhered this to the front flap. For a sentiment… I used the Labeled with Love Punch and Pretty Peacock to create the sentiment banner. I cleaned the piece with the embossing buddy then stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, then sprinkled with embossing powder over it and heat set with the heat tool. I punched another banner from basic White and adhered it to the back, trimmed the one end so as not to cover mamma duck and adhered it in place with liquid glue. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins and the card front was complete.

For the inside I took a piece of basic White 2 3/4 x 4 and added a strip of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP, then attached this to the inside of the flap. Done!

Stampin' Up! Charming Duck Pond card & envelope back

The envelope back has a piece of Lily Pond Lane 6×6 DSP adhered & trimmed to fit. The envelope front is stamped with two images from Charming Duck Pond stamp set in Memento ink, then colored with other stamps in the set: the duck… beak & feet with Pretty in Pink ink, body in Gray Granite ink, tail feathers in Pretty Peacock ink; the frog… body in Granny Apple Green ink and the lily pad in Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends. What a fun set! Hope you enjoy this card.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on July 9, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a fun fold challenge for this Tuesday team blog hop and I’m using several of the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products from the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Season of Green & Gold Easy Flap Fun Fold card front

This card is called a Front Flap Fun Fold.n I did a bit of die cutting using the Golden Greenery Dies and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (better known as SDSP) and the Graceful Greenery Vellum. The bells are die cut from the SDSP and the wonderful fronds from the vellum.

Card instructions:

Card base is Mossy Meadow 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Layer a panel of SDSP (here I used the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, plaid pattern), attaching with adhesive.
Cut a 3 x 8 1/2 Mossy Meadow piece and score at 4 1/4: attach to center of card, with fold at top of card base.
Cut 2 panels of Basic White 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 & decorate
- Front panel of Basic White
  - I cut two Garden Green fronds and one Old Olive frond from the Graceful Greenery Vellum and adhered to one of the Basic White panels, centering them at top
  - I die cut the single bells from the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, adhered them together then added them over the fronds with dimensionals
  - I added a double Linen Thread bow to the top of the bells with a glue dot.
  - Stamp the sentiment and ampersand sign in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set (this also comes as a bundle – with dies – but I did not use those for this card)
  - Embellish with several Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems
  - Adhere this panel to the folded Mossy Meadow
- Inside panel of Basic White
  - Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set
  - Stamp the fronds detail stamp in stamped off once Mossy Meadow ink
  - Stamp the fronds full stamp in stamped off twice Mossy Meadow ink
  - Add panel to inside of flap card panel – and done!

Now for the envelope… cover the flap in a piece of the Season of Green & Gold SDSP and trim to fit. On the envelope front, stamp a different detail front in stamped off once Old Olive ink. Stamp the full frond in stamped off twice Old Olive ink – and this card is ready for that Christmas card pile.

Stampin’ Up! Changing Leaves Thinking of You

Posted on July 7, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello folks. It’s really, really hot here in New Jersey. I’ve chosen a card today that will remind me of cooler weather (hope, hope). It’s the Changing Leaves bundle in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES of Stampin’ Up! I’ve used Granny Apple Green and a Blending Brush to create some variation to the card.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Sympathy Card front

First thing I did was run a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock through the Changing Leaves Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder with the large die in place. This embosses the image & die cuts at the same time. After removing the die cuts, I trimmed along one side, creating a ‘edge’ of leaves that I cut with my paper snips. I used the Granny Apple Green ink and Blending Brush to add color to some of the edges of the leaves. I then turned it over and laid it on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4 and added color to the Basic White – both along the edge of the paper snip trimmed leaves and along the edges of the paper. I turned this back right side up, placed it again on the same Basic White panel and with a lighter touch of the Blending Brush, added more Granny Apple Green. This kind of color layering creates shadow-like effects that show depth.

Next step was to stamp the lovely leaf stamp in Granny Apple Green ink – first time full strength, then stamp again without re-inking, and do the same one more time.. That last one is really hard to see, but it’s in the upper right corner.

I added a strip of Brights 6×6 DSP in Granny Apple Green to the portion of the Granny Apple Green card stock that was not in the embossing folder,, put this whole piece on dimensionals and added it to the stamped and colored Basic White piece. This was added to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 4 1/4. Because I had in mind using this for a sympathy card, I pulled out Sketched Butterflies stamp set for the sentiment – Thinking of You – and stamped it in Memento Ink. I die cut this with the circle die from Changing Leaves Dies. I used Seal+ to adhere the ribbon on the back of the circle, then added dimensionals and attached it to the card front. The Ribbon is Black & Very Vanilla Ribbon. I toyed with adding embellishments but didn’t really like anything.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves card nnside

With the card front complete I cut a remainder strip of the embossed Granny Apple Green piece (from the Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder) and added it to a 4 x 5n12 Basic White piece. I die cut another leaf in Basic White and adhered it with liquid glue. This leaf is a die cut from Changing Leaves Dies.

Stampin' Up! Changing Leaves Sympathy card & envelope

For the envelope… more Brights 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit, and a stamped off once leaf for the card front – of course from the Changing Leaves stamp set and Granny Apple Green ink.

Stampin’ Up! Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Posted on July 29, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Computers. Ugh. Mine was out of commission all day yesterday. Praying today will be a better day all around :O)

My card today is another scene using the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper. But it is super simple, no real embellishments.

This particular DSP is suited for either a Mossy Meadow background or Crumb Cake, or even Early Espresso. I wanted a light color and stuck with Crumb Cake for the card base and adhered the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP directly to it. It is such a serene scene. From Basic White and the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I cut two ‘mounds’ of snow and adhered those near the bottom. I stamped the horse & sleigh image in Memento ink and colored it with several Stampin’ Blends: Lost Lagoon, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Smoky Slate and SU 100 for the skin tone. Then I die cut the piece with the Horse & Sleigh Dies and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I die cut the sleigh rungs from Silver Foil Specialty Paper and adhered those with dots of liquid glue.

For the inside, I took a panel of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, stamped Boho Blue snowflakes with the appropriate stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set and adhered this to the inside of the card. I took a piece of Basic White and die cut it with the Deckled Rectangle Dies, stamped the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set and added that to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Horse & Sleigh card & envelope

For the envelope: another piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the fun snowflake stamp from Horse & Sleigh stamp set + Boho ink, then adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit.

OK, want to purchase the products used here? Good news for you! For the next THREE DAYS (through July 31) Stampin’ Up! is offering BONUS DAYS.

Stampin’ Up! And Paper Pumpkin

Posted on July 26, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

WooHoo – this is a favorite of the more recent monthly Paper Pumpkin kits :O) It’s called Fun In the Sun for the July kit. It’s a side step card and very summery and fun. The three versions look like this:

Aren’t these fun? Notice thew left portion is taller than the rest and there is a slit, cut, division for the folds on the right. Let me show you side views so you get the idea of a side step card.

By looking at the side view, it is clear of the various ‘steps’ or folds that can be decorated. Here, on each ‘step’, the images are adhered. The very back ‘step’ could have been kept loose and used as am bookmark or tag. I decided not to do that and prepared no alternatives. I thought these really cute. And the envelopes were colorful as well…

Stampin' Up! July '23 PP card & envelope

This months Paper Pumpkin made 9 cards with envelopes. Such a great idea. And – you could make them birthday cards or party cards, or a ‘hello you’ card. If you would like to purchase a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you must do so prior to the 10th of any month. For August, the theme is:

Stampin’ Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window

Posted on July 22, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning. I’ve gotten a bit hooked on using One Horse Open Sleigh DSP in my cards of late – it’s beautiful, it’s scenic, and it just works! In my Thursday class we made this card and I just had to share. It’s soft and very pretty and just so easy.

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window

From the top, the bay window card looks like this… but it folds flat for mailing.

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window card from the top

I used Pool Party for the card base 4 1/4 x 11 and scored 1/4, 1 1/2, 3 1/4, 4 1/2 & 5 1/2. Fold the card in half and adhere the the 4 1/2 & 5 1/2 area together on the inside – so it looks like a book fold card. In the photo just above, it’s clear where the card is adhered together. Burnish the score lines well. Now it’s time to decorate with mats and DSP.

Mats 7/8 x 4 1/8 (2, end panels); 1 1/8 x 4 1/8 (2), 1 5/8 x 4 1/8 (center panel)
DSP cuts: I began by cutting my DSP 3 1/2 x 4 so that I had the scene I wanted, then cut the sections: 5/8, 1, 1 1/2, 1 & 7/8.
Adhere DSP panels to the mat sections
Adhere these to the card front keeping the scene intact. DO NOT ADHERE THE LAST FAR RIGHT PANEL JUST YET.
The far right panel needs to be on dimensionals and the card front 1/4″ section slips under this to make the bay window
Look again at the photo of the bay window from the top & on the right the dimensionals are seen. I used two Foam Adhesive strips to adhere to the final decorated panel as this creates a straight line for the 1/4″ edge of the card front to slip under.

Now for the inside of the card.

The mat is cut 3 3/8 x 4 1/8. The Basic White is cut 3 1/2 x 4. I stamped the sentiment from Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Pool Party ink. The small rabbit comes from this same Horse & Sleigh stamp set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink stamped off. I used a remaining strip of the DSP to adhere to the far right side of this Basic White piece then adhered both to the inside of the card. And voila!

Stampin' Up! One Horse Open Sleigh Bay Window card & evelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful unadorned tree in stamped off Early Espresso ink. It comes from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set. For the flap, a piece of Subtles DSP cut to 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Z Fold with One Horse Open Sleigh DSP

Posted on July 21, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! Is it TGIF for you? Do you have BIG plans or a relaxing time in store for you? Whatever you do, may you be energized. I have an easy Z-Fold card for you today. And yep, using the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP with the Horse & Sleigh bundle.

Stampin' Up! Z fold Horse & Sleigh Bundle

Cut & score the Basic White card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4. Burnish in an accordian fold (mountain, valley) as shown. The mat panels are Early Espresso: 2 x 5 3/8 (cut 2) and 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and adhered with liquid glue. The Designer Series Paper is One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 size and uses two sheets to create a flowing scene. They are cut 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 2) and from the second sheet cut 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere these to the Early espresso panels creating the flowing scene. Using the Horse & Sleigh Dies, I die cut three trees from Shimmer paper and adhered them with dots of glue. I could have stopped there, but… cut a Basic white strip 1 x 6 and score at 3″ & 5″. Cut another strip of DSP 3/4 x 6 and score it at 3″ & 5″. Adhere these two together matching the scoring places. On a 5/8 x 3 Shimmer paper strip stamp the sentiment from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set in Misty Moonlight. Add it to the existing 1 x 6 piece. Add this strip to the left card front (HINT: 3″ mountain fold should be at right edge of DSP panel on the largest panel). Once this glue has dried, close card and with the 1″ end folded in a valley fold, adhere to the right side of the card.. Add embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes and a Metallic Pearls in silver.

On the back of the card, I took another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 sheets and cut it to 4 x 5 1/4. I stamped this sentiment using the Brightest Glow stamp set – and in Misty Moonlight ink.

For the envelope… yet another of the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 pieces of DSP cut to 2 1/4 x 6 and adhered to the flap, trimmed to fit. Done.

This suite of products is from the Stampin’ Up! ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and includes the Horse & Sleigh stamp set & Dies, the One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP packet and the Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes. I’m having such fun with these :O)
