Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers with Nature Walk DSP

Posted on February 2, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to February – BRRR. Flowers remind me of spring and warmer weather… This little gem of white die cut has been on my desk fo a bit – and I finally pulled it all together. Fragrant Layers is a beautiful bundle and this piece of the die is perfect for layering. I punched out several of the pieces in this die cut, then taped in the others so they wouldn’t fall out of place. I mounted it on a soft green of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP about 2 5/8 x 3 5/8 and set it aside. My card base is a standard A2 (* 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) in Lost Lagoon. The three strips are 1 x 5. I added the front panel to this with dimensionals. I stamped one of the flowers with Secret Sea ink, die cut it, punched out all the pieces and used a mjini dimensional to attach it to one of the flowers. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea & die cut it with the banner die in the Fragrant Layers Dies. I added it with dimensionals then the Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Secret Sea.

On the inside, I used the large floral stamp in Fragrant Layers to stamp just a portion of the flower in the two corners – Secret Sea ink of course, and used Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends to color just the leaves. I layered this on another panel of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) and the inside was complete!

For the envelope… another piece of the Nature Walk 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. and finis!

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

Stampin' Up! Endless Love Fun Fold, card standing

Stampin' Up! Endless :Love Fun Fold, open

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.

Stampin' Up! Endless Love fun fold, shows pocket

Stampin' Up! Endless Love fun fold, pocket 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

Below is a list of the products to purchase to make this fun fold card. I encourage you to give it a try. There are two more days – well, maybe 3 to get those BONUS DAYS COUPONS.

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! 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.

Stampin' Up! Oct. PP Cozy C'mas card set 1 inside

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.

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas card 2 inside, Dear Santa

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

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy Christmas card 2, Fa La La La

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! Oct PP Cozy C'mas 3rd set, Happy Christmas

Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Cards

Posted on October 20, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Morning Monday! Whew – the start of another week in October… Where has the month gone? For me, it has flown by – how about for you? I have a pretty set of cards for you today, all the same layout, same dies, same ribbon, same embellishments, just different colors in the Season of Elegance SDSP. I simply couldn’t quit making these. I was inspired by another demonstrator, Julie Gilson.

Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas card 1

Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas card 2

Card 1 is in Pretty Peacock. Card 2 is in Basic Beige. Card 3 is in Cherry Cobbler. All three use the same Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and similar layers.

Card 4 uses a brand new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder, coming in the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release – available Nov 4. It also has similar layers and comes in Mossy Meadow.

Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas card 3

Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas card 4

For sentiments on the card fronts I used the Christmas Words Collage bundle die cut from Gold Foil and also Basic White (for the word peace). This set embosses the words & die cuts at the same time, so it’s quite easy to have a bunch words at the ready 😀

Here are the insides of each of those cards – a simple strip of the Season of Elegance DSP added to the bottom of the inside panel.

Stampin' Up! Oranmental C'mas inside card 1

Stampin' Up! Ornamental C'mas inside card 2

Stampin' Up! Ornamental C'mas inside card 3

Stampin' Up! Ornamental C'mas inside card 4

And below… the envelopes for these beautiful cards – more of the same Season of Elegance SDSP adhered & trimmed to fit the flap. Simple, elegant finish to these stunning cards.

Stampin' Up! Ornamental C'mas card & envelope 1

Stampin' Up! Ornamental C'mas card & envelope 2

Stampin' Up! Oranmental C'mas card & envelope 3

Stampin' Up! Ornamental C'mas card & envelope 4

You will notice some of these are on card bases 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 while others are on card bases of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. It honestly didn’t matter either way, so if I had that already cut, that’s what I used. Super fun cards to make multiples of while also making them unique in color & words.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Garden DSP Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 16, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday and this wonderful group of ‘hoppers’! We have a color challenge today and I have chosen to work with the Peaceful Garden DSP, the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper & a bundle called Ornamental Christmas to create a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden DSP Fun Fold card front

I started with a Secret Sea card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 & cut two strips of the Peaceful Garden DSP 1 1/2 x 4 1/8 and attached to each end leaving equal borders at top, bottom & side. I then took another piece of Secret Sea cut 4 1/4 x 5 12 & scored it on the long side @ 1 3/8 x 2 3/4. Burnish it well so it makes a nice ‘Z’ fold.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Z fun fold, top view

Before attaching it to the card base, I added another strip of Peaceful Garden DSP to the inside middle panel of the ‘Z’. I attached it to the card base, centering it. I stamped a Basic White panel 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 using the Ornamental Christmas stamp set & Misty Moonlight ink then added it to the inside panel of the ‘Z’.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Z fold inside

I took yet another panel of Secret Sea 2 3/4 x 4 1/4, layered it with Peaceful Garden DSP 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 then attached it to the left panel of the z- fold. I cut a circle from Basic White using the Ornamental Christmas Dies, used Cloud Cover & a sponge dauber to add color to the edges, then flicked it with my Light Secret Sea Stampin’ Blends. I die cut the wonderful star from Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper, popped it on dimensionals & added it to the circle, centering it. For extra glam I die cut the diamond shape for the center of the star from Silver Foil Sheets & attached it with glue. I attached the circle in place on the card front with glue. For the sentiment… a stamp from Peace on Earth stamp set stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, die cut with a die from Ornamental Christmas Dies & added it to the card front with dimensionals.

For the envelope, more of the Peaceful Garden DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. Below is a list of the products to create this card & info to consider about becoming a demonstrator as part of my team 😀

Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Frames

Posted on October 6, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday! It’s going to be another gorgeous day here on the East coast – sunny & 71! I have two cards to share with you today, both with the same layout, just different colors. I used the stunning rose image in the Gallery Blooms bundle, the coordinating Damask Designs embossing folder and for sentiments, the Beautiful Motifs stamp set (part of a bundle). Both use Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink and Gray Granite card stock. Let’s look…

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Petal Pink card front

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Gray Granite card front

I stamped the roses in Memento black ink and colored each with Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist for the card on left and Gray Granite, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist for the card on right. I’m just curious, do you have a preference? I used the framing dies in the Gallery Blooms dies to die cut from Gray Granite, Subtles 6×6 DSP & Basic White the two portions of the framing: the center portion and the ‘frame’ of that. I pieced these together as you see and attached to a slightly larger panel – Petal Pink and Gray Granite. These were attached to the card base. Oh… and the card with the pink roses – I embossed a separate piece of Basic White and attached it to the card front before adhering the rest. The roses are added with dimensionals. On each is a bow – Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack in gray and Scalloped Ribbon in Petal Pink. I tied each around the stem holding them in polace with either liquid glue or a glue dot. The embellishments are Low Profile Dots in pink and Neutral Matte Dots in black. The sentiments are both from Beautiful Motifs stamp set, stamped on scraps of Basic White with Memento ink. Each was attached with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms inside in pink

I stamped the small rose bouquet from Gallery Blooms in Memento ink on a Basic White panel & colored in Stampin’ Blends as before: Petal Pink or Gray Granite for the roses, Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist on the leaves. Each was adhered to the appropriate card.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Petal Pink w/ envelope

This envelope has an added strip of Subtles 6×6 DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I used a one of the Basic Borders Dies to create to delicate stitching at the edge of the DSP & on the envelope. I stamped the front in Petal Pink using a stamp from Gallery Blooms stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Gallery Blooms in Gray Granite w/ envelope

On this envelope, a strip of the Subtles 6×6 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. A different image from Gallery Blooms stamp set was stamped in Petal Pink on the envelope front.

I am curious if you have a preference in the cards – Petal Pink or Gray Granite. Not certain for me…

Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp set & Winter Meadow DSP

Posted on September 28, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello folks… it’s Sunday and going to be another hot & humid day here on the East Coast The trees are beginning to turn but the weather remains h-o-t! So we adjust, right? But to my card…actually cards – I have three, all with the same layout but with different papers from the Winter Meadows Designer Series Papers. I was on a roll and absolutely loving this new (to me) stamp set. I bought it during the 15% off stamp sale 😀

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card &envelope 1

Card 1: Here I used the patterned paper to cover the card base and to create the strip. For Coordinating colors I used Blueberry Bushel and the 2nd largest of the Branching Out Dies to layer the Basic White sentiment layer. The large Merry Christmas was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink. With this sentiment label on dimensionals I was able to add die cuts of pine boughs & berries die cut in Shaded Spruce, Lost Lagoon and the berries in Blueberry Bushel. I added Wink of Stella to the berries. The embellishments are Shades of Green Hexagons. On the inside, I die cut the same size panel of Basic White as the white panel on front and stamped the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card 2

Card 2: For this card, I used another of the papers in the Winter Meadow DSP pack for the background and the strip. I used Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in silver and Garden green for the pine bough die cuts and Real Red for the berries. Wink of Stellas was added to the berries. The ink for the Basic White sentiment panel (Branching Out Dies of course) is Misty Moonlight. The embellishment here is the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. For the inside, I used Misty Moonlight card stock for the layer of the Basic White sentiment panel. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and is from the Gift of Joy stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card 3

Card 3: This may be my favorite card… I simply reversed where I used the papers from card 1 – the background paper being the blue and the strip being the patterned side of the Winter Meadow DSP. I again used Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (this time in blue) to die cut pine boughs and Blueberry Bushel for the berries (yes, Wink of Stella on these berries too!) The embellishments are the Sparkling Snowflakes in green. For the inside… another die cut of the berries from Branching Out Dies, this time using the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in blue – was added to a simple trimmed rectangle stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.

These are all larger than usual cards as I used a retired set of cards & envelopes to decorate. This layout was part of our Thursday sketch challenge for the blog hop and is a total CASE of the card by Amy Koenders. I want to give her credit after all! As I mentioned earlier – love this new Merry Christmas stamp set! Products to make this card may be found below.

Stampin’ Up! September Fall For Toile Paper Pumpkin Alternates

Posted on September 26, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning happy people. Guess what today is – FRIDAY, for many it is their favorite day… We have a family reunion of sorts planned for Sunday late afternoon & that should be extra fun. I’m very much looking forward to it. 😀

For today, I’m focusing on the Paper Alternates that I made with this month’s kit. I’ll show the ‘planned’ card and then my alternates.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP, card 1

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card 2, partially open

The card to the left is as intended by Paper Pumpkin. The card to the right is my first alternate, a total CAS from another demonstrator. It uses Country Woods DSP and when lifting the DSP on the right – there is the place to write.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 2, inside

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 3, front

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 3 inside

This is a gatefold card and when open again has the addition of Country Woods DSP adhered to the inside ‘gates’ & a piece of Basic White stamped using the stamps in the Sep. kit.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card 4

Stampi' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate, card 5

Above on the left is the card as ‘planned. The card on the right is another z-fold using the PP kit products and only adding a double Linen Thread bow.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP Alternate card 6, front

Above is another alternate done in a gatefold. The only addition was a Basic White panel inside for the stamped sentiment. No other additional products were used.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card front 7

The original card as planned. The only addition is Wink of Stella on the pumpkins and the fox.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 8, front

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 8, inside

My next to last alternate and the inside – a flip front card. I cut the original Paper Pumpkin card base in half and added a piece of Early Espresso, adhered a Basic White piece to the inside and stamped the sweet acorn from the PP stamp set. With each of these last three cards i used Wink of Stella on the pumpkin and the fox for a bit of sparkle & fun.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 9, front

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 9, inside

My last card is a joy fold card, and I used Early Espresso to mount the showcase field of corn & Gathering Together SDSP for the inside background. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with this kit. Refills are available if you wish to create these cards. The only thing is… in the refill there is no stamp set or ink spot.

Stazmpin’ Up! has a Paper Pumpkin each month and this next months is sure to fascinate. Here are the particulars – just remember, you must order by Oct 10!
