Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Card

Posted on May 19, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my goodness – there are some really pretty bundles in the new 24-25 Annual Catalog. This one is extra special. For one thing, I think it’s the simplicity of the stamp set. The other of course are the many circle dies and the designs in them.

Last night was a wierd sleeping night for me – I got up at 12:30 AM cause sleep was avoiding me and stayed up until a bit after 2. That’s when I created this card.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature card front

I began by stamping the image from Spotlight On Nature in Memento Ink, then coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Poppy Parade for the flower tops and Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green for the stems/ leaves. I die cut it with the die shown, from Spotlight On Nature Dies. For the background I pulled out the Brights 6×6 DSP Poppy Parade and trimmed it to 4 x 5 1/4, added it to a Basic Black 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then directly to the Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added a 1/2 x 4 strip of Basic White to the center of the card, then added the stamped die cut over that with dimensionals. For a bit of bling, there are three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped this stunning leaf image from Spotlight on Nature in Memento ink on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. I colored the leaves in Stampin’ Blends, using Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green. I love the contrast these colors give!

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Brights 6×6 DSP in Poppy Parade on the flap and trimmed to fit. The leaf image on the envelope front is the same one used on the inside of the card, stamped in Memento ink but not colored. It creates a stunning contrast.

I want to use the same stamps and coloring but use a Crumb Cake embossed background – lots of ideas spinning in my head this AM! This is a bit brighter than I would normally do – perhaps it was the middle of the night thing :O)

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

Posted on May 16, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday morning! You KNOW what Thursday means, right? A blog hop by this awesome group. You may have come from the creative team member Tara or just hopped right in here – however you got here, welcome. We have a theme challenge of outdoors today – and I have chosen to work with the Thoughtful Wishes bundle and the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP – and created a fun fold for you :O)

Not sure what to call this fun fold, Center Pleat maybe – it was inspired by Susan Campfield who did a multi-pleat with 12 x 12 DSP. Thoughtful Journey DSP is 6×6 and I did not purchase the tutorial from Susan – just played around with this until it worked :O)

Begin with a card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 – this particular card is Boho Blue. For the card front, I wanted to use the new So Swirly dry embossing folder and ran a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic panel through it and adhered it to the card front. I stamped three images of the floral stamp from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on Basic White – coloring the stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers to do so… Blackberry Bliss for the flower and Mossy Meadow for the stem/ leaves. I added these colors after each stamping. Because of the inside DSP I chose, I wanted these to look like a water color – soft and less defined images – so… I took my Water Painter, squeezed it until the brush was wet, then added just brush strokes of water on the flowers and then the leaves. I really like the effect it gave. I had tried spritzing the inked stamp but it didn’t give me what I was looking for, that’s why the water painter. Then I die cut the images with the coordinating Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I also stamped the leaf/weed image in Mossy Meadow ink and mov ed the ink on all the leaves with the water painter – die cut it with a coordinating die as well. I adhered the one flower image directly to the card front with liquid glue, attaching it at an angle to make it look as though it were being blown over by the swirling wind :O) I added trimmed down dimensionals to both the leaf image and the remaining flower image and added them as you see them. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips, adding dimensionals to it as well. I had an extra leaf and slipped it under the sentiment, attaching with a dab of adhesive. Finally – three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to complete complete the card front.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey 6x6 DSPb & Center Pleat Fun Fold

The inside… this is so pretty – well, I think so anyway… the Thoughtful Journey DSP is just so, so pretty – with a definite watercolor appeal n- maybe as though it were raining outside and looking through a wet windowpane. :O) Anyway – this is the image I chose, cut 4 x 4 1/2, scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/4 and 3 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley. Adhere only the end portions of this folded piece, keeping the center fold in the middle. The two end panels are: Blackberry Bliss cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 and adhered with even margins on each side. The Basic White panels are 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 with the piece on the left run through the So Swirly dry embossing folder then adhered. Again, the remaining die cut flower was attached with liquid glue. The other panel is left plain for writing your message. The sentiment is stamped on a Basic White strip with Mossy meadow ink and adhered with Stampin’ Seal just on the left side. The card doesn’t really need it but I added it nonetheless.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey Center Pleat Fun Fold, looking down from the top

This is what the card looks like looking down from the top. It stands for display to show off that gorgeous inside.

The envelope got more of the Thoughtful Journey DSP attached to the flap and trimmed to fit. The front got this same leaves stamp in Mossy Meadow ink and the ink ‘moved around’ with a water painter. I love this look!

Stampin’ Up! Take To The Sky Suite for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on May 14, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

WELCOME TO AMY’S INKIN’ KREW TEAM BLOG HOP! We have a theme challenge for today – ‘for the boys/ men’ and we can interpret that any way we like. I chose to use the Take To The Sky Suite for the challenge.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Team Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Birthday card front

The Take to T/he Sky 12×12 DSP is so perfect for the flyers in our lives or for anyone really. Here’s what I did for this card…

The card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Smoky Slate card stock scored at 4 1/4. I added the plaid pattern in Smoky Slate from the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP cut 4 14 x 5 1/2. I then took a design from the Take to The Sky 12×12 cut 3 x 4 and added it to Cajun Craze card stock cut 3 1/8 x 4 1/8. This got dimensionals and was attached to the card front, centering it. I stamped an airplane in Blueberry Bushel ink from the Adventurous Sky stamp set on a Basic White scrap and die cut it with a coordinating die from Adventurous Sky Dies. I used a Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencil to add some color to the plane, then moved the color around with a Blender Pen. I added the plane with a couple of small dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on a Basic White scrap with Night of Navy ink, cut it apart and adhered it to a 1/4″ strip of Basic White, cut the end, added trimmed dimensionals and attached it to the card front, making it look as though the plane were carrying a banner in the sky.. The final touch was three Industrial Trinkets attached with glue dots -and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Take To The Sky DSP for the card inside

For the inside of the card… another panel of the Take To The Sky DSP 3 x 4 adhered to a Basic White 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 and attached with glue to the inside of the card. The sentiment was stamped in Boho Blue ink using a stamp from Adventurous Sky stamp set. This was die cut with a coordinating die from Adventurous Sky Dies and added with glue to the inside of the card. I offset it to make it look as though it too was being trailed behind the airplane.

Stampin' Up! Take to the Sky Birthday card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped another size plane from the Adventurous Sky stamp set, this time in Night of Navy ink – to the envelope front. On the flap I attached a piece of Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP and trimmed it to fit. And done! YAY! I love this card and it is so perfect for a special someone.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Beauty Birthday Card

Posted on May 13, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning! It is such a beautiful day here on the Jersey shore… although a cool 48 degrees. I have a showcase of DSP from the Unbounded Love 12×12 pack and I’m using it for a simple layout but gussied up birthday card.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Birthday card front

Do you notice the simple layout? The gussied up part is the Bordered Ribbon in Pretty In Pink, the Paper Butterfly Accent and additional 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems embellishments. Looking at this photo, I must make that bow smaller – it’s just too overpowering.

Measurements:

* Card Base is Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2

* DSP layer is 4 1/4 x 5 12 adhered directly to the card front

* Layer – Berry Burst 3 1/8 x 4 1/8

* DSP layer is 3 x 4 adhered directly to Berry Burst , wrapped with ribbon, bow tied then added to card front with dimensionals

* The sentiment is from Unbounded Love stamp set and is stamped in Pretty In Pink ink on a Basic White piece 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 then diecut with the coordinating Unbounded Love Die and added to the card front with dimensionals

* Three 24-26 In Color Glimmer Gems were added to the sentiment panel – in Pretty In Pink

* The Paper Butterfly Accent was attached with tiny dabs of glue then two 24-26 In Color Glimmer Gems added

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty card inside

For the inside of the card, on a 4 x 45 1/4 Basic White panel I stamped this lovely flower in a two-step manner. It comes from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set that is part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite of products. I stamped the flower outline in Pretty In Pink ink, then the flower filler in stamped off Petal Pink ink. The stamen is stamped in Berry Burst ink. I left the rest of the inside blank as this card is going to be signed by lots of folks.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Birthday Card & Envelope

I followed the same process of stamping the flower on the envelope as I did on the inside of the card: flower outline is Pretty In Pink ink, flower filler is stamped off Petal Pink ink, stamen is Berry Burst ink – using stamps from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. The flap is covered in more of the Unbounded Beauty 12×12 DSP that I used on the card front and trimmed to fit.

The 24-25 Annual Catalog is now live… here’s a link to take you directly to the items available in this catalog – specifically the Unbounded Beauty Suite of products found on pages 52-55. The ribbon is located on page 112 and these particular embellishments are on page 114. Happy shopping!

Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Blooms DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome to our weekly Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge this week and I used some new Mediterranean Blooms 12×12 DSP to show it off and the Cheerful Daisies Dies. Enjoy the hop as progress around to visit the other participants.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Blooms DSP, sketch challenge card front

For this DSP I paired Night of Navy for the card base and added a layer of Boho Blue card stock before adding the patterned paper. I used the Nestedf Essential Dies to create the the daisy-patterned banner. Behind it is another banner – in Basic White but die cut with the Stitched Shapes banner die. I actually cut two, trimmed the length of each, added them to the back of the daisy-patterned banner with glue then attached both to the card front with dimensionals. I used the largest circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut the Basic White circle. I used my Blender Brush and Daffodil Delight ink to add a bit of color to the circle. I die cut the layers for the daisy using the Cheerful Daisies Dies and separated them with paper snips. I added the layer to the daisy with dots of liquid glue, then after removing the leaves from the die cut I slipped it behind the daisy, adhering it to the circle. I added trimmed down to fit dimensionals to the back of the daisy – including many of the petals and added it to the circle. OOPS – forgot a step – I used the Blending Brush to add Daffodil Delight ink to the daisy center. Of course, embellishments are necessary :O) and I added three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots.

Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Blooms dSP, sketch challenge, card inside

For the inside, I wanted to play up the daisy, so added a background daffodil delight then the daisy, then added more color to that with the blending brush. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink with Citrus Blooms stamp set. This Basic White panel was added to a Boho Blue piece slightly larger, then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Blooms DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the daisy-lie paper from Mediterranean Blooms DSP for the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front at the bottom left, I stamped this ‘block’ image in Night of Navy ink to bring the colors all together. This is a different kind of cxard for me – and I like the end result. Would love to know what you think as well.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold w/ Adventurous Sky Bundle

Posted on May 8, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh this is a truly fun fold… and it is easier than you think :O) It’s called a puzzle slider card and I saw this demonstrated by Susan Campfield. So here ya go with my creation…

Stampin' Up! Fun Fold w/ Adventurous Sky Bundle, card front

Do you love that airplane or what?! This card begins as a mini z fold card and then side pieces are added that make it a puzzle – clever, right? Here’s the view from the top.

Stampin' Up! Puzzle slider card, top view

The card base is Night of Navy cut 4 1/4 x 9 1/2 and scored @ 1, 2, 7 1/2 & 8 1/2. When I scored @ 1″ I did it just slightly LESS THAN 1″ (not even 15/16ths)- and on the 8 1/2 score, just slightly MORE THAN 8 1/2 ( not even 8 9/16ths). Crease these well – mountain, valley, valley, mountain. Then add your front panels:

* Cut 2 – 2 1/8 x 3 1/4 in Night of Navy
* Cut 2 – 2 1/8 x 2 1/4 in Night of Navy
* add DSP to these panels by first cutting DSP @ 5 x 3 3/4: this creates a continuous pattern for both top and lower panels :O)
- – cut on short side @ 1 7/8 creating two panel s 1 7/8 x 5; cut top panel on long side @ 3″ ; cut lower panel on long side @ 2″.
- My card front is not DSP – I created this image with the cloud stamps in Adventurous Sky stamp set and Boho Blue ink. I then used my Blending Brush and Boho Blue ink to add more depth to the panel – then I cut it as directed above.
- I used the Adventurous Sky Dies to create the airplane: Cajun Craze card stock for the body, Smoky Slate card stock for the wings and Basic Black for the propellers. I adhered these together with dots of liquid glue and attached it to the left portion of the card front.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Dies, back side of airplane

You can see in the photo above, the placement of the mini dimensionals so it would adhere only to the left side of the card front.

I wanted a sentiment and loved this particular one in the Adventurous Sky stamp set – stamped it in Cajun Craze ink and die cut it with the Everyday Detail Dies, adhered it in place with dimensionals. I added a single Industrial Trinket from this suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky card inside

For the inside, I adhered a panel of the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 14). For a sentiment I stamped this fun sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue in and die cut it with the largest could die in the Adventurous Sky Dies. I adhered it in place and the card was complete.

For the envelope I added a panel of the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP using a Cajun Craze pattern and stamped the smallest airplane image in the lower right – in Cajun Craze inkn – and forgot to photograph it for you!!! GRRR. You will have to use your imagination :O)

These items are all in the 24-25 Annual Catalog on page 37…

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

Posted on May 1, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning – May 1, the start of the NEW 2024-2025 ANNUAL CATALOG. Yeeha – it goes live today! I have a couple of new team members I want to welcome so created a card with the Thoughtful Journey DSP. This is such pretty paper and I chose this pattern to showcase today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

I cut the DSP 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 then on the short side cut it in half again, creating two strips. The strip on the left I cut 1 3/4 off the top. The remaining strip I cut 1 3/4 off the bottom. Laying them on a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock 4 x 5 1/4 created this pretty scene. I adhered the pieces in place, keeping the spaces even all around then added that to a Thick Basic White card base. The stamped sentiment is done in Mossy Meadow ink using the Unbounded Love stamp set. I cut it with a banner die in the Unbounded Love dies. I took a length of Linen thread and wrapped it around a bit, then added it to the back of the sentiment die cut, adhering it in place first with Stampin’ Seal+, then added a couple of dimensionals. After attaching it to the card, I trimmed the one end. I added three Purple Shimmer Gems as a final touch

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes, inside card

For the inside, I pulled out Thoughtful wishes stamp set and with Markers, inked the stamp: Blackberry Bliss for the flower part and Mossy Meadow for the stem/ leaves. I gave it a good haw with my breath to add a bit of moisture and stamped it on a piece of Basic White. I die cut it with the coordinating die in Thoughtful Wishes Dies and added it to a 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White and Mossy Meadow 4 x 5 1/4 for the inside of the card. Welcome, welcome!

For the envelope, I pulled another of the beautiful DSP from Thoughtful Journey pack and added it to the envelope flap and to the bottom of the envelope front. This paper looks like watercolor images and are just stunning.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Citrus Blooms for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 21, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday – and happy Spring as of the 19th! WooHoo. As I noted in an earlier post, I attended the SU! convention in Houston, and when I returned all my daffodils were (and still are) in bloom. So exciting! Love this season… My card today uses a brand new bundle called Citrus Blooms and it is gorgeous. Today I focused on just one of the dies. I used the die on a NEW DSP called Full of Life 6×6 DSP. I really like it. The card base is also a NEW COLOR – called Basic Beige. Later in the post I’ll show a photo of Basic White, Basic Beige and Very Vanilla as a comparison.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle. Thu hop 321

I simply adore the colors in this DSP… they are clear colors and flow from one to the other. The orange is the sunrise peeking through the leaves and the blue of course, is the sky :O). I know, I know, but this is what I see. And with the sun rising earlier here on the East coast, this DSP fits. So there. :O) The background paper is the new Basic Beige and it just ‘fits’ so easily with this DSP. I’m very excited about this new Basic Beige. So I used this gorgeous die from Citrus Blooms Dies to die cut the DSP, then adhered it to a Basic Beige just slightly larger. I then stamped it with Granny Apple Green ink using a sentiment from Charming Sentiments stamp set. These two papers were then added to a Basic Beige card base with dimensionals. I added some glam… Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins.

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Dies, inside of card

From the Citrus Blooms Dies cutting the DSP on the card front, this DSP piece was lest over. I stamped it in Granny Apple Green ink and adhered it to a panel of the Basic Beige card stock, then that to the inside of the card. When I look at this DSP on the inside of the card, I see a couple of things – first, a heart; second, simply a die cut piece :O)

For the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms bundle for the hop

I stamped the envelope front with one of the Citrus Blooms stamps in Granny Apple Green ink. For the flap, I used a remnant from the Full of Life DSP, adhered it in place and trimmed to fit. The envelope is a Basic White envelope. And there you have it – quite a pretty and simple card & envelope. Hope you like!

Look below for how & when to order this bundle… Now it’s time to continue the hop – don’t miss a single stop :O) visit each and ever one.

Today’s card is a teaser… meaning, unless you are a demonstrator, you cannot order this bundle until early May . Bummer, right? BUT – you CAN join my team and be one of the lucky folks who can order early. You can JOIN MY TEAM HERE.

Comparing Very Vanilla, Basic Beige and Basic White card stocks. Quite a contrast with Basic White, but not so much between Basic Beige and Very Vanilla. Basic Beige ios a go-between and I think you will find it used a LOT in the coming days/ weeks.

Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection & Paper Pumpkin Benefits

Posted on February 19, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! I received the Sparkling Birthday kit the other day and quickly put it together – it’s good for man or woman, adult or child and with lots of sparkle, hence thew name :O) And interestingly, we had received a request for a birthday card for a gentleman turning 90. I used parts of the kit to gussy-up the inside of the card – so I’ll share both the kit completed cards and the one for the gentleman.

And here’s the card using one of the tags for the inside and extra elements

I left the front of the card as intended, then added one of the tags directly to the inside of the card. There were a couple of extra balloons in the kit, so I used the Alphabest Dies, Thick Basic White and Adhesive Sheets to die cut the numbers to put on the balloons. The Bakers Twine is a part of the kit, so I used it to tie onto the balloons for added effect. I think he’ll like it.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Here For You card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 8, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Today is Thursday – which means, it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and I really like these color combinations. Perennial Lavender 12 x 12 DSP fits the bill perfectly!

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here For you Card front

I started by determining the showy piece of Perennial Lavender DSP for the front of the card. I die cut the piece with a Deckled Rectangle Die. And yes, I could have used the Perennial Postage Dies instead – and you could easily make that change if you decided to CASE this card. I wanted a slightly less ‘edgy’ look and that’s why I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I backed the DSP with a Basic White panel. I used another piece of the Perennial Lavender DSP to die cut the floral image. I adhered it to the DSP panel with dimensionals that I trimmed down to size, then added a double Linen Thread bow and attached it with a glue dot. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Perennial Postage stamp set and stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink, cut it apart & fussy cut around the single word – setting the rest aside. I created a Gorgeous Grape card base and covered it with another Perennial Lavender DSP panel just slightly smaller in size. I attached the showy DSP panel to the card front with dimensionals, then added the sentiment with glue on the one end and a dimensional trimmed down to size on the overhanging end. I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems near the sentiment for a glitzy touch.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here for you, card inside

For the inside of the card, I used the other floral die cut and adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White panel. I took the rest of the stamped sentiment from the card front & cut it apart, added it to a same pattern DSP as the large front panel, trimmed it to a unique shape and adhered it with liquid glue.

To purchase items to make this card… Jan- Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. + the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
