Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Garden Dies

Posted on June 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning… I am with my Grandkids and today is finals week. Last night our grandson was studying for a history final. Goodness, I could not believe the questions – quite difficult. He’s done really well this week and I’m super proud. :O) OK… my card.

I used the new Gorgeous Garden Dies, which is another stand alone set, meaning no stamp set is bundled with it. It really is gorgeous.

I began with Lemon Lime Twist card stock and with Blending Brushes, added Calypso Coral ink, Mossy Meadow ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink, then die cut the piece with my cut & emboss machine. I ran it through a couple of times as this is a really intricate die cut and I wanted all the detail. I used little dabs of liquid glue under all the leaves to attach the die cut to the Lemon Lime Twist card base. Since I needed a sympathy card I decided on this sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set and stamped it with Mossy Meadow ink. It’s die cut with a die from Cheerful Daises Dies, but I removed one end as I liked the look better. I tied a double bow and added it to the sentiment banner. The banner is attached with dimensionals. And the card front was done.

For the inside I used a left over strip from the blending done on the card front and adhered it near the bottom of the Basic White panel. I then stamped this beautiful image from the Layering Leaves stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink along the one side. I goofed just a bit because I don’t have my acrylic blocks with me, but I still like the effect. And this panel was adhered to the inside of the card – done, done.

This card looks so pretty in person and the photos don’t really show it off. I’m so sorry!

Stampin’ Up! Paper Florist Dies Hello card

Posted on June 6, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello this shiny bright Tuesday! I have a really pretty card for you today, made with the Paper Florist Dies. This is a stand alone die set that allows you to create all KINDS of flowers your imagination can envision. And there are three leaf dies as well. Let’s take a peek at this fun card.

This card uses a couple of new products in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog: Pebbled Path card stock for the card base; an embossed layer using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder, and a returning color to the palette – Pretty Peacock. The other colors used to make these creations are Pool Party, Crushed Curry, Basic White and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Embellishments used were Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink & Balmy Blue and Linen Thread doubled and made into a bow.

Since this is a stand alone set of floral and leaf dies, the sentiment comes from the Cheerful Daisy stamp set and was die cut with a banner die from the Cheerful Daisy Dies. This was stamped using Smoky Slate ink on a Basic White panel. I’m trying to keep my sentiment stamping to a bare minimum as I’m away and FORGOT MY ACRYLIC BLOCKS. Go figure… don’t even ask how I could forget them. I just did.

Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies Hello card.2

Stampin' Up! Paper Florist Dies, inside card

For the inside, I die cut the tulips in two parts: Basic White for the flower and Garden Green for the stems. These were adhered to a Basic White panel and attached to the inside of the card. The simplicity comparison with the card front is quite a contrast. I hope you like…

All flowers were attached to the card base with liquid glue. As you can see, some of the petals are curled up and some are curled downwards – as in the Pretty Peacock flower. The white daisy like flower has many layers. I just kept adding petals until I was happy with the look.

I’m afraid there is no envelope.. forgot to bring those with me as well. I’ll have to remedy that situation when I return home. For now I’m where I’m supposed to be and I have no regrets.

Stampin’ Up! Masterfully Made DSP Grateful Card

Posted on June 5, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Masterfully Made is one of the Designer Series Papers on SALE @ 15% off… so I’m showcasing it a couple of times this week. And here’s the deal about this week – I’m not at home in my craft space. I only have some supplies… and I forgot some important items… like acrylic blocks (duh!) and envelopes. Silliness.

For today’s card I took a piece of this beautiful Masterfully Made DSP & cut it into a smaller panel (3 3/4 x 5). Then I cut it into strips: 1″, 7/8, 3/4, and continued down like that. I added all but the largest strip to a panel of Crushed Curry, wrapped a length of Linen Thread around it a couple of times and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot. I put dimensionals on the back and adhered it to a Thick Basic White card base. I stamped the sentiment using Memento ink and the New Textured Floral stamp set. Since I forgot my acrylic blocks I bet you’re wondering what I used… I used one of the acrylic plates from my Cut & Emboss machine – clever, right?!

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Grateful card

Stampin' Up! Masterfully Made Grateful card front

For the inside I added the largest strip to the bottom of a Basic White panel, then attached that to a Crushed Curry piece, then to the inside of the card. I have a definite plan for this card so wanted to keep the inside plain for my own personal message. Isn’t this DSP just so pretty?!

Posted on February 27, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It is Monday Feb 27 and there is just one more day to grab onto those Sale-a-bration items and to use the incredibly generous JOINING offer. – ‘cuz that offer ends at close of day February 28, 2023 same as Sale-a-bration.

Stampin’ Up! has several joining specials right now that are almost too good to be true. No need to push yourself to sell; be a hobby demo, purchase from yourself, get that 20% discount on all orders, get that ability to see products early and pre-order them (as I did with the gorgeous suite above), be able to attend conventions, be a part of a fun team – to learn, to appreciate, to meet new friends. You can do that: JOIN MY TEAM here. The three special options are listed below. This joining special ends at close of day 28 Feb and won’t come around again until next year – just sayin’.

JOIN… here are the three ways to JOIN MY TEAM…

Option #1: The Boho Blue Mini Cut & Emboss machine is a one-time color – and the color is a new color being introduced in 2023-2025. In other words – joining by option #1 – get’s you $175 worth of product for $129.

Option #2 The original White Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (a $63 value), + Your choice of $175 of Stampin’ Up! products for only $129.00

Here’s how it works… when you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM valued up to $10 from me + the Star-Studded Rewards. 😁👍 Please note… I have had to remove card stock as a free item due to increased cost of mailing – ugh.

For every $50 that you order from my online store (before shipping & taxes) and when you add my current Host Code, you will earn 1 STAR Reward. Orders of $49.99 or below DO NOT earn any rewards.Example $50 = 1 STAR Reward, $100 = 2 STAR Rewards , $150 = 3 STAR Rewards etc. When you have earned 8 STAR Rewards you will get a FREE product order valued up to $40.00, your choice, and mailed directly to you! Is that a deal or what??? You also earn my monthly Online Class Tutorial of exclusive projects when you place an order. For any order $50 or more you will also receive 1 free gift from me valued up to $10. Remember to use MY current HOST CODEFDBTDY26. Click here to go my store.

Here’s a photo of a card/ envelope & the inside made with the Irresistible Blooms Suite. You can my post here.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms card inside

Isn’t this stunning? The stamps, dies, DSP and the embellishments are some of the best yet.

Stampin’ Up! has some really fun & interesting kits available as well. And again, if you join my team, these are also available at that 20% discount.

OK, time for me to sign out for now. Our beloved English Springer Spaniel is having a major health crisis and hubby & I are pulling ourselves together for that final goodbye. I’m telling you, this is not going to be easy. He’s a gem of a family pet and we’re struggling – not going to lie about it. He’s gentle and loving and made me his ALPHA. He’s been beside me no less than two feet away for a very long time, often lying on my feet or touching me if he could. Today is not a happy day… so bear with me.

Tell those you love, you love them. Hold them tight and be thankful, grateful for their presence in your life.

And by the way, my site is under ‘reconstruction’, so be patient there too. 🥴

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms

Posted on February 25, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday! I have a beautiful new bundle I worked with – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE that I tried resisting, and couldn’t. 😀 It is stunning! It is called – of all things – Irresistible Blooms Suite and what comes in the suite is: stamp set, coordinating dies, gorgeous 6×6 DSP and Loose Frosted Dots in three colors. An older color is coming back – Lost Lagoon – and that shows in these papers. Another cool thing is the dies die cut the two sizes of flowers in the DSP as well as three leaf shapes. I’ve created a very feminine card with this suite. Let’s take a peek.

See that stunning flower? It’s die cut from one of the papers! And see the leaves under the flower and under the sentiment? Those are also die cut from the DSP. And isn’t that wreath fun? It’s one of the dies as well. The DSP under it all is one of the papers in the pack. It has these cute little bubbles same as the wreath. And see the Loose Frosted Dots? The Petal Pink ones are on the banner while the Soft Seafoam are in the wreath – and notice, three sizes too. They adhere with a tiny dot of adhesive. The sentiment is from the stamp set, stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink , a coordinating color of the DSP, and die cut with the smallest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. The bow is Sating Edge Ribbon with Gold and added with a glue dot. I don’t know if you can see it in the photo, but I added Shimmery Crystal Effects to the flower on several of the white sections.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms, inside

The inside of the card is every bit as feminine: more of the DSP on the bottom of the white panel, a smaller die cut flower from the paper, three small leaves die cut as well. The Basic White panel overlays a Flirty Flamingo panel, same as the front, and adhered to the Thick Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms card & envelope

The DSP on the envelope flap is the back side of the DSP on the card front. I used the entire 6×6 sheet on this card! I was hoping you could see the Crystal Effects, but it doesn’t really show. Oh well… This suite of products will be available on March 1 and I encourage you get it! You will not regret the purchase. Stampin’ Up! is promoting an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE line of products that will not be included in any catalog, that will only be available as an ONLINE product.

Stampin’ Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 23, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello, hello. Golly, it’s Thursday already and nearing the end of February – yikes! We have a fun theme challenge today… Welcome to the hop… you may have come from the creative Tara Carpenter or simply popped in here. Enjoy the hop!

Stampin' Up Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Theme Challenge

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

I’ve chosen to use butterflies on my card today, using the die from Designer Tags Dies and the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Glimmer Paper. I’ve also used Hues of Happiness DSP with lots of wonderful colors to bring it all together. And layers… a piece of Basic White run through the Stripes 3D embossing folder (from Stripes & Splashes 3D set) and a strip of scallops from the Penned Flowers Dies and a leafy spray from the Dainty Delight Dies (trimmed to use a long piece on top and the shorter end at the bottom under the scallop… and lets not forget the Stylish Shapes Dies for the circles. So I pulled from a lot of different places and love the finished look.

Stampin' Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies.1

For embellishment I used Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems in Gorgeous Grape. One of the wonderful things about nature is color – lots of it and lots of shades of one color or another. You can see that in the Hues of Happiness DSP.The front sentiment comes from Happiness Abounds stamp set that coordinates with the DSP. It’s a general greeting and this card could easily be used for birthday, to a sympathy card. I fussy cut the sentiment by the way, after stamping it in Orchid Oasis ink.

Stampin' Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies.2

For the inside, really simple… a 1/2″ strip of the same Hues of Happiness DSP adhered near the bottom.

Stampin' Up! Butterflies & Designer Tags Dies.3

Goodness, this photo is ever so dark! Again, I kept the envelope quite simple with a strip of Hues of Happiness DSP on the flap trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Petal Park Bundle and a Fun Fold

Posted on February 18, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! It’s raining here, gray & overcast. UGH. But I have a card for you that will hopefully brighten your day. I’ve chosen to make another Diamond Flip Fold card – just because I found it so much fun – and it makes a statement. I’ve used the Regency Park 6×6 DSP , the Petal Park Bundle (includes the Petal Park Builder Punch) and the Charming Sentiment Bundle (includes the Sentiment Silhouette Dies). You can see the other Diamond Flip Card here.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.1

The card base is Night of Navy and I’ve used Balmy Blue as a background behind the DSP and the stamped diamond on the card front. There is not a lot of writing room as this card shows, but in lieu of DSP on the inside, you could easily have a layer of Basic White to have more room. What’s nice – make it your own by changing it up. You will notice in the photos below that I have not put any DSP on the diamond ends of the card on the inside – as I did on the previous card. It seemed too busy, so I left it off – and, I like it better.

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.2

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.3

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.4

You can see in each of the photos I have used Balmy Blue as a base layer over the Night Of Navy, then either the Basic White or the Regency Park 6×6 DSP. These papers are just so pretty they need showing off! The front Basic White panel is stamps from the Petal Park stamp set. The leaves were done in Shaded Spruce stamped off once – after stamping the outline in Memento ink. The flowers were stamped on a separate panel in Memento ink, then I used the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends to color the petals + the Color Lifter to ‘move’ the Balmy Blue colors. I found it better to use the Color Lifter to do that than the Blender Pen as that pen tends to ‘poill’ the paper. The floral centers are colored in Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. At this point the flowers were punched and added to the square (diamond) panel with dimensionals.

You can see in this photo above that I stamped the flowers in Balmy Blue (stamped off) to help me with placement for the punched flowers. :O)

Stampin' Up! Petal Park Diamond Flip Fold.6

In this photo above, I’m getting ready to adhere the square or diamond panel to the ‘flip’ front. Card cuts are listed at the bottom of this post. Full & complete directions may be found on a previous post… You can see the other Diamond Flip Card here.

And remember to use my current HOST CODE FDBTDY26 to earn credit from me. Here’s how it works… when you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM valued up to $10 from me + the Star-Studded Rewards. 😁👍 Please note… I have had to remove card stock as a free item due to increased cost of mailing – ugh.

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

Posted on February 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday… and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today and I’m using the Fragrant Flowers Bundle and the Favored Flowers DSP to create it.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Blog Hop.2/16.1

To make this card I took a panel of Dainty Flowers DSP and adhered it to the Blackberry Bliss card front. I then took a piece of Basic White card stock and ran it through the Split Card Textures Dies and adhered that over the DSP. I then die cut a couple of flowers from the Favored Flowers DSP using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. It is SO COOL when the dies coordinate with designer series papers. I also die cut two leaves from Evening Evergreen and buds from Fresh Freesia – all using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. The two larger flowers were added to the front with dimensionals, the lower flower adhered directly to the card front, and the buds and two leaves adhered directly as well. I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink using the Fragrant Flowers stamp set on a piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP, then die cut it with a die from Fragrant Flowers Dies. That was added with liquid glue and dimensionals on the ends.For a final touch: Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems in Gorgeous Grape and a fun Open Weave Ribbon bow in Evening Evergreen (this was added with a glue dot). Both the Dainty Flowers DSP AND the Favored Flowers DSP are FREE – each with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!

Stampin' UP! Fragrant Flowers Blog Hop 2/16.2

For the inside, another set of flowers die cut from Favored Flowers DSP added to a panel of Basic White. The sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss using a stamp from Fragrant Flowers stamp set. A single Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gem in Fresh Freesia was added.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers Blog Hop 2/16.3

The envelope… more Favored Flowers DSP to the flap trimmed to fit and a single flower die cut using the Fragrant Flowers Dies and the Favored Flowers DSP – now completed & ready to send. This card is going to a friend who has struggled with knee issue for over a year, just had meniscus surgery on one knee and anticipates the other knee in about a month. Let’s hope this works for her!

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

Posted on February 14, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday morning and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Appreciate your loved ones, all of them. Send them a note or give them a call, whatever works for you. It’s never too late to let folks know you care about them. Thank you for joining me today – remember, I care about you! And welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group!

Today’s card plays along with the challenge for this week – a birthday card. And it’s a Diamond Flip card that’s fun to do, and did I say easy?

Gosh, the photo is a bit dark… but isn’t this a sweet card? Here’s a photo of it unfolded showing the outside.

And here’s one of it folded showing the inside. Notice the diamond on the left is ‘flipped’, or folded.

And one more photo… this one shows the front again, with the diamond fold to the inside. This way you clearly see how it’s all put together.

Directions:

Cut card base (here I used Granny Apple Green) 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 2 1/8 & 5 1/2
On the 2 1/8 end, mark the center point, on the short side which happens to be 2 1/8.
Fold card in half – on the 5 1/2 score line
Cut from the 2 1/8 score line to the point mark on a diagonal, going through both layers.
Now do the other cut from 2 1/8 score line to point. By cutting both ends at the same time, this makes the ends exactly the same!
Cut a 3″ square, also from Granny Apple Green, and adhere to the 2 1/8 end, adhering just to score line. This allows that end to be flexible.And this is the end to be decorated.
- Add a 2 7/8″ square, this time in a coordinating color or Basic White. I chose Textured Shimmer Paper in Balmy Blue
- Stamp the floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride ink, then die cut with coordinating die from Organic Beauty Dies.
- Stamp the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink using True Beauty stamp set. Die cut with coordinating die using Organic Beauty Dies
- Adhere the floral image with dimensionals to the now diamond. Slip the leaves under this a bit and adhere with liquid glue.
- Cut a banner 1/2 x 3 1/4 and stamp with sentiment from Sentimental Park stamp set, in Merry Merlot ink. Slip banner just under flower and adhere with liquid glue.
- Add bow ribbon with glue dot: Twill Ribbon Combo Pack in Old Olive
- Add Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink (Jan-Apr Mini Catalog)
- Cover floral image with Wink of Stella
Add Balmy Blue panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/8 to card front
Add Awash In Beauty DSP over Balmy Blue, 3 1/8 x 4 1/8

For the inside

Add a 3 1/8 x 4 panel of the Awash in Beauty DSP to the panel on left
Stamp the sentiment using Sentimental Park stamp set and Merry Merlot ink on the Basic White panel (3 1/8 x 4)
Stamp the flower in Blushing Bride ink using the True Beauty stamp set, cover in Wink of Stella then add more Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink
Cut a 2 7/8 square from Awash in Beauty DSP, cut in half creating two triangles. Adhere to each inside end

This card fits perfectly in a regular size envelope and I forgot to take a photo! However… here’s what I did… Cut another piece of Awash in Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6, add to envelope flap & trim to fit. Stamp a floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride, adding a bit of Merry Merlot to the center with your finger or a sponge dauber, then stamp on front of envelope. Cover with Wink of Stella.

Can’t wait to see what you create with this Diamond Flip Card – please do share with me! Such a treat… Now, it’s time to move forward on the hop – or go to previous if you like. Use the appropriate ‘buttons’ below or click on a name to take you on to others. Enjoy – and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY again!

Stampin’ Up! Flap Front Fun Fold Birthday

Posted on February 11, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

I am smitten with the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper and have made a fun birthday card with it. This is so super easy you will want to make one too.

This little fox is just so stinkin’ C-U-T-E! Look at that grin & that sassy walk. That little guy is die cut straight from the Rain or Shine DSP and die with the Layering Circles Dies. It’s back layer is Mango Melody die cut with the Layering Circles Dies, scallop. Ok, directions.

Card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 scored at 4 1/4 and I used Balmy Blue
- Remove 1″ from card base front & trim that strip to 3 1/2″, then score one end at 1″
- Attach the short end of this strip to the card back with the score line at the edge – long end to the right
Add a 1 1/4 x 5 3/8 strip of DSP over top of strip – see the raindrop strip in photo, that’s it.

Attach the circle die cut to the long end of the strip. I wanted a nice ‘finish’ to the back side so die cut another circle with the Layering Circles Dies from Brights 6×6 DSP in Mango Melody & adhered it to the back side.
A panel of Basic White 2 3/4 x 5 3/8 is stamped with the birthday sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Memento ink. Adhere to inside of card.
Back to card front… Add a panel of Rain or Shine DSP to the card front – 3 1/8 x 5 3/8
Stamp a sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White Scrap & die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
Add a Mango Melody strip behind it 5/8 x 2 1/4. This could be a length of ribbon instead, or a pice cut slightly larger than the sentiment panel. Add with dimensionals to the card front
I added three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Mango Melody for a bit of bling.

Super easy card – and you could easily change it up… front flap embellished could be a square, a rectangle, a heart. All kinds of possibilities!

For the envelope… more of the Brights 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit and another die cut from the Rain or Shine DSP, this time die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. A super fun card to send & receive!
