Stampin’ Up! Faith Collection card

Posted on February 22, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Our family is gathering for a celebratory weekend in a magical place called Mohonk Mountain House. There is a covering of snow that is just beautiful. And it is c-o-l-d. All kinds of activities are offered: ice skating and archery, hiking (guided or unguided), a pool & sauna. As I said, it’s magical.

My card for today is one I made for a minister friend of ours, age 94. He has made such a positive impact on others, a really good man. The card base is Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I added a layer embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder, 4 x 5 1/4 and set these aside.

On a Basic White panel I stamped the cross image with fronds in Garden Green ink using the Faith Collection stamp set. Then with the Faith Collection Dies and Country Woods 12×12 DSP, die cut the cross and adhered it to a plain cross then attached both with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Faith Collection stamp set in Highland heather ink and added two Tinsel Gems Three Pack in Fresh Freesia.

I adhered this panel to a Garden Green piece, then Highland Heather as well. I wrapped these with Natural Tones Linen Thread & tied a bow, adhering in place with a glue dot. I added dimensionals to the back and attached to the card base. :O)

For the inside… I pulled another stamp set called Courage & Faith and stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White panel, then each of the leafy stamps too. I colored the leaves with Shy Shamrock Stampin’ Blends, adhered the panel to the inside and the card was complete.

Stampin’ Up! Three Panel Heart Card

Posted on February 17, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Valentines just passed and I could not post this card – to my hubby – as he just might see it :O) Now’s a good time to share.

This card is made using the Bloom Impressions DSP that is FREE during Sale-a-bration when purchasing $60 worth of products. It coordinates with Real Red card stock (behind it) and of course, Basic White. I used the Paper Pumpkin Dies – Spring is in the Air – to create the heart, and Mixed Labels Dies to cut the sentiment.

Step by step

Card base: Thick Basic White 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer: Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, embossed with the So Swirly EF & adhered directly to the card base
Layer: Real Red 4 1/4 x 3 3/4
DSP layer: 3 3/4 x 3 1/2 cut into 3, 1 1/4″ strips
- Adhere DSP to Real Red then to card front with dimensionals
Die cut two hearts with the Spring is in the Air Dies
- Adhere one heart with liquid glue
- Adhere second heart w/ mini dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Everyday Greetings stamp set with Memento ink; die cut with the Mixed Labels Dies; adhere with dimensionals
Tie a double bow with White Bakers Twine & adhere with glue dot
Add three Low Profile Dots

For the inside… On a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, stamp the two hearts in Real Red ink using the Friendfs For Life stamp set; adhere panel to inside – and done!

Stampin' Up! 3 Panel heart Card & envelope

For the envelope… More of the same Bloom Impressions DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

What’s great about this layout, and this card… it could be used as an anniversary card (change the DSP), a wedding card (change the DSP & layer to something soft & elegant), a genuine thank you card (again change the DSP & layer & maybe even the sentiment) – all kinds of options.

Sale-a-bration ends soon – Feb 28, 2025 and there are some FAB products you receive FREE with qualified purchases.

Stampin’ Up! Handmade Designs & Linked Together Dies Sympathy Card

Posted on February 12, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

All of a sudden I am in need of sympathy cards and I want them to be somewhat special. I had not played with the Handmade Designs stamp set (FREE when joining as a Demonstrator through Feb 28, 2025) OR the Linked Together Dies. This is a soft feeling card because of the Peach Pie color in the the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP (FREE with a $60 purchase through Feb.28, 2025). And I was inspired by the card on page 48 in the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog to use the diamond die in this way. I really like how it turned out. The sentiment is from the Hope You Know stamp set, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card front

So let me tell you how I did this. I stamped the floral image from the Handmade Designs stamp set using two Markers for the ink: Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green, then huffed on the stamp and stamped on Basic White card stock – about 4 x 4 in size. I then took a Peach Pie Marker and followed the edge of the flower stamped to create the second color. For the center of the flower I scribbled with the Daffodil Delight Marker. I die cut the flower using the diamond die, then cut another from plain Basic White card stock – and cut it in half corner to corner in the middle. I attached the stamped piece to the two (now) triangles and set this aside. I cut a piece of the Blooming Impressions 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to a Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then to the Thick Basic White card base (4 14 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I attached the diamonds that were set aside, directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot, then added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, stamped a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut with paper snips the sentiment. I added dimensionals and added it to the card front.

For the inside, all I did was stamp the sentiment – again from the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I added this to the inside of the card – and done!

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I inked just a portion of the flower with the Pumpkin Pie Marker, huffed on it and stamped. I used the Peach Pie Marker as before to add color.

Sale-a-bration like is here – There are two levels of products offered during this time – for purchases of at least $60, Level 1. For purchases of at least $120, Level 2.

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

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

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

I’m not certain what this fun fold is called… maybe a double fold? It opens from the left, then again from the right. Yo can see the sentiment here in the middle – and it’s from the Delightful Wishes Dies. There are two layers, the background layer is Daffodil Delight and the top layer is Basic White. It’s attached to the card front with mini dimensionals cut in half. The bow is a double bow made with the Satin Ribbon in Daffodil Delight and tied with White Baker’s Twine and attached with a glue dot. The card base and DSP panels is what makes this card the fun fold it is.

Card Base, Lemon Lolly cs: 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 1″ and 5 1/4″. Fold both ends toward the center & burnish

DSP panels: cut 2 at 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 but from two different DSP panels. The front layer you see is Floral Delight 12×12; the other layer is from Floral & Gingham Vellum 12×12. Attach these DSP pieces to the card base at each end.

Cut two side panels of Lemon Lolly card stock 7/8 x 5 1/4 and run through the Zinnia 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card panels at each end, covering the ends of the DSP attached to the card base. See photos below.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes Fun Fold card partially open

You can see in this photo that I added a sentiment piece… stamped in Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White strip 5/8 x 3 1/2 then die cut with Delightful Wishes banner die. This was attached to the vellum panel with glue dots and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins were added at each end.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes Fun Fold card fully open

The center panel is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and run through the largest die in the Stitched with Whimsy Dies. Before attaching to the inside of the card, I stamped the floral image from Delightful Wishes stamp set. Since this is a two-step stamp, the first is Lemon Lolly ink, the second is Daffodil Delight ink to give more detail of the flower. Now adhere to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Delightful wishes Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope, I added more of the Floral Delight 12×12 DSp to the flap and used the same two step method to stamp the same flower on the envelope front. This is such a bright, springy card and could be used for several occasions: birthday, encouragement, even a wedding or baby card. Love the versatility.

My main colors were Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. This is a hop, remember, so check out what others on the team have created. Click the next button or a name to take you where you want to go.

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Celebration for the Happy Inkin Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 30, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday & the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I have chosen to use items in the Wildflower Birthday Suite for my card.

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebrations card front

I’ve taken some liberties with the sketch… in lieu of the circle, I used the banner die in the Birthday Celebrations Dies with Peach Pie card stock and behind it is Gold Foil attached to Lost Lagoon card stock for the vertical element. But I am ahead of myself. :O)

The card base is Lost Lagoon 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. The next two layers are Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to Gold Foil 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and added to the card base with dimensionals. The vertical element is adhered directly to Timeless Plaid with liquid glue. The banner die (used in lieu of the circle for the sketch) is die cut from Peach Pie card stock and attached with dimensionals. The cake is one of the awesome die cuts supplied in the Wildflower Birthday 12×12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I attached it directly to the banner with liquid glue. The two floral images are also part of the die cuts in the Wildflower 12×12 SDSP and are attached with min i dimensionals. As a final touch, three Party Dots (part of the Wildflower Birthday Suite) were added to the card front,

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebration card inside

Because this card is for someone specific… and it’s their 41st birthday :O), I again used stamps & dies in the Birthday Celebration bundle. The sentiments are all stamped in Lost Lagoon ink. The numbers are die cut in both Peach Pie and Gold Foil sheets and adhered offset with liquid glue- all on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This piece was added to the Lost Lagoon card base on the inside – and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Birthday Celebration card & envelope back

For the envelope front I added elements of the Wildflower 12×12 SDSP with die cuts supplied in the DSP package – and more of the Timeless Plaid 6×6 DSP on the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Hearts of Elegance

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

Today’s card is just full of hearts and love and could easily be used for a wedding or anniversary OR Valentines card! I had so much fun playing and pulling out papers to coordinate.

Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance card front

I used the Marbled Elegance ONLINE EXCLUSIVE DSP for the very top two layered hearts & the largest most colorful heart. The stripe heart & the heart with circles are from the 24-26 In Color 6×6 DSP, Pretty in Pink. The other two hearts are from a leftover piece that I had color blended with various shades of pink. All of these were die cut with the Hearts of Elegance Dies. These are layered on a Basic White panel run through the So Swirly embossing folder, which was then added to the Thick Basic White card base. The bow is made by pulling apart the strands on the White Bakers Twine from the Bakers Twine Essentials Pack – and adhered to the heart with a glue dot. I added three Blooming Pearls in Gold, which are from the 24-25 Annual Catalog. This is the link to the card when I created the sheet with Blending Brushes and several shades of pinks.

Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance inside card

For the inside I stamped this sweet heart in Pretty In Pink ink then added another double bow using an additional length of the taken apart White Bakers Twine. It was added with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Hearts of Elegance card & envelope

For the envelope, I used another piece of the 24-26 In Color 6×6 DSP to cover the flap, then stamped the very same heart as the inside on the envelope front.

STAMPIN’ UP! Mixed Media Florals for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Happy Thursday – and welcome to Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and so many of these colors come from a specific DSP that I kept this super simple.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card front

You can see I focused on the colors Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Boho Blue. The card base is Boho Blue, standard A2 card size 8 1/2 x5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The Basic White panel is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 with the Mixed Media Florals DSP cut 3 3/4 x 5 and adhered to it. I wrapped the Navy ribbon from the Natural Tones Linen Thread pack around these two, twice, and tied a bow, adhering that with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut with the Mixed Labels Dies. I love the design around the edge! I added three Opals Round Assortments in Daffodil Delight from the Annual Catalogue. I added dimensionals and attached to the DSP panels, then added those to the card base – also with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card inside

For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped this fun partial image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. This was adhered directly to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card & envelope

I did exactly the same for the envelope front… stamping a partial image in Memento ink and coloring it with the same Stampin’ Blends. You can clearly see the coloring is different :O) – and the card was done! See below the list of names for purchasing these products from me :O)

Stampin’ Up! Storybook Friends in a Bandstand Card

Posted on January 7, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday January 7! Today is the day… the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog goes LIVE and… benefits of the Jan-Feb 2025 Sale-a-bration Catalog also go into effect. What that means is when you make a purchase of any Stampin’ Up! items: Kits Collection, Last Chance items, the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog OR the new MINI Catalog, Sale-a-bration items are available. How cool is that! There are two levels: a $60 purchase and a $120 Purchase – each allowing different products that are FREE TO YOU. So, shop, shop, shop!

Today’s card is another fun fold, called the bandstand, and it used products from the two mini catalogs going live today. The Designer Series Paper DSP) is a free Sale-a-bration item, and the rabbit, sentiment and delicate frame die are from the Storybook Friends bundle and Storybook Moments 12×12 SDSP. Here ya go…

Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends in a Bandstand Card

How sweet is that rabbit and how gorgeous that frame!!! I adhered the frame to a Window Sheet so all the DSP would show :O) The rabbit is fussy cut from the Storybook Moments SDSP and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink from the Storybook Friends stamp set and die cut with a die from Happy Little Things Dies, retiring. It is attached with a dimensional on the right end and liquid glue to the rabbit. And here’s the top-down view.

Stampin' Up! Bandstand card top-down view

This card fold flat and works perfectly in a standard envelope. Here’s the envelope for the card

Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends card & envelope

That cute rabbit is from the Storybook Friends stamp set and is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin/ Blends: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Old Olive.

Here’s how to make this card…

Card base, back: 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 scored on long side at 3/4 & 4 5/8. Burnish.

Card base, front: cut 2 – 1 1/4 x 4 1/8, score on long side 3/4, 2 1/2, 4 1/2 & 6 1/4. Burnish. These are the pop-out sections.

Decorate:

Cut DSP for inside back, 5/8 x 4 1/8, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8 and again 5/8 x 4 1/8 and adhere to the inside back.

For pop-out sections: cut a single strip 1 1/8 x 5 1/8 then trim to 1 5/8 x 1 1/8, 1 7/8 x 1 1/8 and lastly 1 5/8 x 1 1/8. By cutting this as a single strip and trimming down, this allows for a continuous pattern. Do this twice, then adhere to the pop-out strips, leaving the ends without DSP

Turn strips over and adhere Tear n’ Tape to the ends as shown.

Putting together:

Leaving the strips face down, lay the decorated back panel, decoration side down and even at top of strip, centering the back panel between score lines. There will maybe be a 1/16″ between the score line and the back panel. Remoce cover on Tear n’ Tape & adhere to back panel. Do this again at the bottom. Notice there is ‘wiggle room’ on the ends in the photo – this is as it should be!

Now is the perfect time to decorate the back of the card where you can write your message.

Here I used Peach Pie as a nice contrasting color, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8, and adhered it to the back. I cut a Basic White 3 5/8 x 4 and stamped it with an image from Storybook Friends in Memento ink, coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Peach Pie & Old Olive. I adhered this in place.

Decorate the front: the key here is to provide something to ‘stabilize’ the card and. to adhere it only to the center panel. It can extend beyond the center panel as the pop-out sections go back not forward.

Die cut from Basic White this gorgeous frame. With liquid glue adhere it to a Window Sheet.
Add Window Sheet to card front adhering only to the center panel with Stampin’ Seal

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold with Calming Creek Cards & Mixed Florals Bundle

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

Oh my – tomorrow – Jan 7 is the BIG DAY for ordering from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog AND using benefits from the Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Catalog. WooHoo! Excitement is building!!! My card today uses the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and the Mixed Florals Bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this bundle (and it’s part of a suite of products too). So… here’s the card.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek Card w/ Mixed Florals Bookfold

I folded the Calming Creek card on it’s score line then scored again at 3 1/4. Between the 4 1/4 & 3 1/4 scores I added adhesive to secure it in place. I wrapped that section with Bordered Ribbon in Basic Beige and secured it with a glue dot at the knot. I took one of the Elements of Text stamps (also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and stamped a Basic Beige panel in two places with Memento Ink – see the image. I die cut the panel with second from the largest Perennial Postage Dies then removed just enough from the left edge for it to fit on the book fold front. Save this removed piece!

On a Basic White piece, I stamped the floral image in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Wild Wheat, Daffodil Delight and Summer Splash. Once the coloring was complete, I added Wink of Stella to many of the small flowers, to the large flowers and to some areas of the leaves. I die cut this with the appropriate die from the Mixed Florals Dies, added dimensionals to the back and attached it to the card front. I then stamped the super cute lady bugs from Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink and colored with Petunia Pop Blends.

On the inside of the card I added the removed cut strip from the Perennial Postage die cut and that was it.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek card & envelope

Here is the card with it’s own envelope. I love how they coordinate. And yes, I could have stamped a portion of the floral stamp, but chose to keep it simple.

Stampin’ Up! Glimmer Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 31, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday – and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a theme challenge today – Christmas. Love it! It could be packaging or a card or decoration. You have jumped here from the fabulous Tara or simply come here first. However you got here – welcome! I chose to use the Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper to make my card.

Stampin' Up! Glimmer Christmas Card front

This is full of glimmer and the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, plus Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets) and the Sentimental Wishes bundle.

Begin with a card base 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a panel of Take a Bow DSP on the card front on the bottom 1 1/2 x 3 1/4. Cut strips of Glimmer 12 x 12 Paper 1 x 6, then cutting diagonally to opposite corners. (These are Real Red and Garden Green glimmer papers.) Begin adding strips with the pointy tip at the edge of the card front, attaching just above the bottom panel of DSP. Keep adding until the card front is covered. It will look like the below photo. Notice the extra Glimmer at the top and excess DSP at the bottom?

Now turn over the card front and remove excess DSP so it’s even with the card base. :O) Now create the decorated panel that will cover those pointy tips: Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, die cut circle using Spotlight on Nature Dies; die cut another circle using same die set and Granny Apple Green card stock & adhere to Basic White circle with dimensionals. Stamp this sweet candle/ greens stamp using Sentimental Wishes stamp set & Memento ink. Color with Stampin Blends – Old Olive, Real Red, Lemon Lolly with Peach Pie at the bottom of the flame. Add Wink of Stella to candle drippings and berries. Die cut with appropriate die from Sentimental Wishes Dies. Add with dimensionals. For embellishment, add Clear Ribbon Adhesive-Backed Dots. Add to card front, making certain it does not extend beyond card when closed.

Stampin' Up! Glimmer Christmas card inside

For the inside… add a 3/4 x 5 1/2 strip of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to the outside edge of the inside of the card. Add another strip 1/2 x 5 1/2, this time in Granny Apple Green. Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink – and the card is complete!

Stampin' Up! Glimmer paper Christmas card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Add the Sentimental Wishes sentiment in Garden Green ink and the card is complete! Time to count my Christmas cards… I’m pretty certain I do not have enough :O(
