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

Posted on June 11, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome. We have a wonderful floral challenge for us today & I’ve chosen a new, soon to be released July ONLINE Exclusive to use in this shutter card. The Framed Violets bundle is part of the Violet Dreams Suite of products: Adhesive-Backed Blooms, 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Fresh Freesia, Violet Dreams 12×12 DSP & the Framed Violets bundle already mentioned.

When looking at this card, notice the stamped sentiment on Basic White, then notice below the stamped sentiment on Hydrangea Hue – that’s all part of the slider mechanism. It is so cool in person!

And here’s a top/ down view…

How to make this card… notice there are two colors used on this card, a light color (Hydrangea Hue) & a Basic White and there are two panels of the Hydrangea Hue.

Front Panel: Color 1 – 4 14 x 8 1/4 scored at 5 1/2. The smaller section is what creates the shuttle or ‘slider’ of the card. Cover the larger section with DSP cut 4 x 5 1/4. Use a 2″ hole punch to create the opening on the front side. Center Panel: this is Secret Sea – 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a 4 x 4 DSP to each side. With the fold to the left, place so this panel is flush with the right edge of the card front; hold in place, trace the 2″ circle, then punch the 2″ circle where marked. Close this Secret Sea piece & trace the circle to the right side of the Secret Sea (see the floral pattern in the open card), punch the 2″ circle again using the tracing to line up.. There should now be three circles: front and both sides of the Secret Sea inside panel. Adhere the backside of the left section of this folded panel to the inside of the front panel, matching edges so they are even. DO NOT TRY TO LINE UP WITH THE FOLD! Back Panel: The color of this panel should match that of the card front. In my case – Hydrangea Hue: 4 1/4 x 5 3/4 score at 5 1/2. Cut a Basic White piece about 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and adhere close to the score line and that becomes the stamped sentiment we see with the card closed. Do not adhere just yet :O) First, burnish the score line well, fold it inwards and add adhesive along the 1/4″ fold. With the folded edge in, add to the center panel even with the right edge of that panel. It will look like the photo at left, below. Now add the Basic White piece so it fits behind the opening and can be stamped. (yes, mine is a circle cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies). Now add adhesive along that score line as shown in photo at right and close card. This keeps the card from being floppy.

Now you may do your stamping sentiments. With the card closed, stamp on the Basic White panel – that’s what shows when the card is closed. For my car rd I stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and used the sentiment from the Framed Violets stamp set. Open the card and stamp on the ‘slider’ portion. Again, Gorgeous Grape ink and the sentiment is from Framed Violets stamp set.

Now it’s time to decorate the various layers: To create the ‘frame’ around the circle I used a 2 3/8 circle punch and a 2″ circle punch and adhered it to the front & one on the right inside circle as well. card front: I used the Framed Violets Dies to die cut the violets from Basic White then colored the violets using Stampin’ Blends in Highland Heather. I used the tiniest of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the flower centers. The leaves arew die cut using the Framed Violets Dies and Peaceful Pine. I added the flowers & leaves with dabs of glue then added the bow with a glue dot: 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Fresh Freesia (part of the suite). The additional gems are Adhesive-Backed Blooms that add that final touch of sparkle. Love these!

And below is the card & envelope – this sweet, sweet violet from the Framed Violets stamp set stamped in Memento ink then colored with Highland Heather & Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends. The same pattern of DSP from Violet Dreams 12×12 was added to flap & trimmed to fit. This becomes such a beautiful gift to a birthday gal – all by itself. Love!!

Stampin’ Up! Calm & Bright Kit & LAST DAY FOR FREE SHIPPING

Posted on October 24, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Wow! It’s Friday… Fall is definitely here in New Jersey. 39 degrees this AM and leaves are turning – and you know, falling. We have lots of trees – so you also know what that means – raking, raking and more raking. Well, it’s good for the body to move. :O)

I have a set of really pretty cards today, all made from the Calm & Bright Kit. I didn’t do alternatives for these cards – they are simply beautiful on their own – soft pinks & greens.

I’ve kept the photos in the large setting so they can be seen in detail – they are so very pretty.

This was actually the first set of cards I made. A Lost Lagoon ink spot, stamps and an acrylic block are all included in this kit, along with the cards, layers, envelopes & punch-out items.Kits are an all-in one item – whatever iss needed is right in the kit, including adhesives, embellishments, sometimes Tear ‘n Tape and threads or ribbon.

And this is the final set of cards in the kit. This kit is delicate & stunning – and you can order it as part of the FREE SHIPPING which ends today. Note the FREE SHIPPING is for orders of $75 or more.

Stampin’ Up! FREE SHIPPING PLUS Dressing Up the October PP Cozy Christmas

Posted on October 21, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

SEE BELOW FOR INFORMATION ABOUT FREE SHIPPING

OCT 22-24!

Good Tuesday morning. Do you participate in the Paper Pumpkin program – getting this fun box each month to create what’s inside? I do, and sometimes I make alternatives and sometimes I don’t. This months October Cozy Christmas is one of those I didn’t do alternatives, but I did dress up the envelopes and the inside of each card.

For this card… on the envelope – as you can see – I stamped this tree image from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set. Just as an FYI, this also comes with dies. For the inside, I layered a piece of Basic Beige, then added a stamped layer of Basic White. The stamp used is the same as the envelope – Ornamental Christmas.

For the 2nd set of cards in the October Paper Pumpkin, I stamped the envelopes with another of the stamps in Ornamental Christmas stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas card set 2

For the inside of the cards… in my box was an extra green card base so I used that for the background on two cards then a strip for the third card. For an inside sentiment I used the Christmas Word Collage in Basic White. I highlighted each with Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush. Here they are.

Joy to the World is the theme for the third set of cards in this October Paper Pumpkin Cozy Christmas box.

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas third set of cards

The same sentiment is stamped on all three of these envelopes and it comes from the stamp set Ornamental Christmas using Garden Green ink. On the inside I used sentiments from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack on a Basic White panel that had been adhered to a Crumb Cake piece slightly larger.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms bundle

Posted on April 25, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

This is my 2nd post today – the first being a reminder of the FREE SHIPPING provided by Stampin’ Up! for purchases of $75+ AND… up to 75% off some Paper Pumpkin supplies. If you haven’t ordered or looked – please Click here to go to my store – and be sure to visit the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS and the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES too.

For my 2nd post, here is this extra pretty card using new products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog AND in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES – both available May 6. That will be an auspicious day!!!

Stampin' UP! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms bundle

I used the new IN Color for 2025-2027 called Strawberry Slush both for the card stock base, the Painted Stripes stamp set inked & stamped and the floral design also inked, stamped & die cut. After stamping the flowers, I used Stampin’ Blends to color them: Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, also Color Lifter for highlights and Wink of Stella. The leaves were colored with Granny Apple Green Blends. I then die cut and added dimensionals to the back and set it aside. I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies to die cut the circle from Basic White card stock and added it to the card front with dimensionals, off-setting it. I then added the flowers to the circle. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set & Basic Gray ink. I added a very thin strip to the sentiment piece, then attachecd this to the card front… a dimensional on the back right of the sentiment and a dab of glue on the left. The final step was adding embellishments: 2025-2027 In Color Gems in Strawberry Slush.

Stampin' Up! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms card inside

For the inside of the card I kept it really simple: this sweet bouquet of roses from the Gallery Blooms stamp set, stamped in Strawberry Slush ink on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel.

Stampi' Up! Painted Stripes & Gallery Blooms bundle card & envelope

For the envelope I used the very same sweet rose bouquet from the Gallery Blooms stamp set and Strawberry Slush ink to stamp the envelope front.
