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

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

Our theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that any needed way. I have chosen to use the brand new products in the Lovely & Beautiful suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 23-29. This is an absolutely gorgeous suite & I’m highlighting only a small bit of it.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog hop Group

The background is this fun checkered pattern & I’ve stamped this sentiment from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral. I then die cut from the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper the flower & leaves using the Simply Beautiful Dies. The leaves & tiny pieces are adhered directly to the card front while the flower is on dimensionals as is the stamen (it’s on a mini dimensional cut in half!) I then added these gorgeous Pearlized Faceted Circles that are also a part of the suite. The Specialty DSP was added to a Basic panel slightly larger then attached to the Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals. I made a small Linen Thread bow and tucked it under the flower, adhering with a dab of glue.

For the inside of the card, I used yet another of the Simply Beautiful Dies to die cut this flower from the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP. Before attaching it in place I stamped this decorative design using a stamp from Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. I adhered the flower then stamped the sentiment – again in Calypso Coral ink – then adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful Suite card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front is this leaf, stamped in Old Olive ink using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set. While this is very springy in color, I’m using this as a birthday card for my friends birthday in December – something non traditional ‘Decemberish’ 😀 For information on how to get the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, see below.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Friendly Foliage in Greens

Posted on November 11, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

First of all, happy Veterans Day to all our veterans out there. Thank you for your sacrifices and service to our country. You are amazing human beings and I am so grateful. Big salutes to those who have served in the past, and to those currently serving – bless you… and your families, for they have served in a different way and suffered too. ❤️

Now – my card for today is a NEW November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release called Friendly Foliage.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Foliage card front

This card has some layers… and begins with a card base in Pool Party with a layer of Nests of Winter DSP. The next two layers are Basic White and Woven Textures DSP. These all all attached directly to the card base. The next layers are attached with dimensionals: Basic White layered with another pattern in Nests of Winter then the Basic White stamped & die cut image from Friendly Foliage. This image is the focal point of the card… stamped in Shaded Spruce ink, die cut and attached with liquid glue. I then added Wink of Stella to all the leaves, bringing more attention to the pretty image. I splattered Wink of Stella to the entire card as well. While that was drying, I stamped the sentiment from Friendly Foliage in Pool Party ink on the Basic White strip and added it with dimensionals as well. Final touch… three Opal Rounds.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Foliage card inside

For the inside of my card I added a layer of Woven textures DSP as a background to my Basic White stamped panel. The sentiment is from Friendly Foliage stamp set and stamped in Pool Party ink. The sweet leaves are a die cut from the beautiful Friendly Foliage Dies.

For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP was added to the envelope – no naked envelopes for me.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Foliage card & envelope

Due to the colors, this is a definite feminine card. When I create with this next, I’m going to really try to make a more masculine one. When my hubby saw this card, he called the image pussy willows and I hadn’t thought of that. Pussy Willows are definitely brown, so next time, masculine, in brown tones. Card cuts for this card are listed below.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

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

Welcome to our blog hop! We have a fun sketch challenge today ands I’ve chosen to work with the new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE suite of products called Brushed with Beauty. As a demonstrator I was able to purchase this early in a pre-order and I l-o-v-e it! The colors are really ‘up my alley’ so to speak. Yesterday I shared several links to cards I made with this suite of products. You can see that post here

And … today is hubby & my anniversary… of several/ many years. I am so blessed and thankful. So, today’s card is in celebration of that. ❤️

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card front

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and adhered this striped pattern (it’s the ‘b’side to the floral paper showing) directly to the base. I then cut a smaller piece of the same DSP (the ‘a’side) and adhered it to Very Vanilla just slightly larger. This was added to the front with dimensionals. Next I stamped the larger floral outline stamp in Calypso Coral on a scrap of Very Vanilla and colored it with Stampin’ Blends Bronze & Ivory. I die cut this and the detail die (this one is from the Vellum in the suite of products) and attached the two together with a glue dot in the center of the flower. I attached a Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center in Calypso Coral and added it to the card front with liquid adhesive. I die cut two elements from the Words of Beauty Dies: the background layer in very Vanilla and the detail of the word in Petal Pink that had an adhesive sheet attached to it. After die cutting I put them together & added them to the card front with mini dimensionals. I added two more of the Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty products, inside card

For the inside… I was playing around with color for the flower… stamped the outline stamp on a Very Vanilla scrap in Calypso Coral but colored this one with Stampin’ Blends 1000 & 500. The 1000 is the pinkish color and the 500 is the soft shade of brown. After die cutting the flower & adhering it to a Very Vanilla insert, I added a single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the Crumb Cake kind of color. The top sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso using the Words of Beauty stamp set. The lower sentiment is stamped in Petal Pink ink using the Sweetly Scripted stamp set.

Stampin' Up! 11/06 hop Brushed with Beauty card & envelope

Keeping this envelope really simple… another panel of the Brushed with Beauty DSP showcasing a Petal Pink coloring, was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. You can purchase these products from my online store – see the link below!

Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP & Sketch

Posted on November 2, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

WOW – November! Halloween is behind us & Thanksgiving is coming soon. What a time to be be thankful & grateful… yes, yes. I’m thankful for all of you & grateful for this fun craft which I so enjoy. So MANY blessings… lest I get sappy… let me share today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card front

This cute little bird has been sitting on my desk for a bit. He was supposed to be used on another project & well, I got busy with other cards, designs & stuff. He was die cut using a Spotlight on Nature Die, cut directly from the Nests of Winter DSP. I mounted him on a Cherry Cobbler circle die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then I pulled various papers from the Nests of Winter DSP pack.

the cross panel is 2 1/4 x 3 7/8
the two vertical panels are 1 x 3 & 1 1/4 x 4

These were adhered on the Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 pice which was attached to yet another panel of DSP 4 x 5 1/4. These were added to the Gray Granite card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) with dimensionals. The circles were also added to the card with dimesnionals. Then these wonderful Streaked Dots were scattered for additional charm.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP, inside card

For the inside of the card I fussy cut with my paper snips this adorable bird & adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White insert (4 x 5 1/4).

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. DONE! Cut the DSP panels ahead of time & this card layout is a quick 1, 2, 3. Add a sentiment depending on the front focal point, or not, as I didn’t here. It’s easy to add a message inside when this card is needed for something special.

Stampin’ Up! Love & Courage for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 2, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday & our fabulous hop! We have a theme challenge today called “Clean & Simple” and I confess… this was not easy for me. I made a card but it used a die & ribbon, but was a step ‘up’ so to speak. And actually I like this card better. 😀

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Do you see what I did here? I created a cross with score lines. So, stamp first (Pretty In Pink was used here), turn the card over & with your scoring tool, score lines where you want them. And why flip the card over? I wanted the score lines to be raised on the front, not indented. Make sense? After scoring, I added the stamped piece to a larger layer, then attached those to the card front with dimensionals. Final touch – Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems. So so easy…

For the inside… another stamp in the Love & Courage stamp set is the single word HOPE – – it’s stamped in Pretty In Pink on a Basic White insert piece then added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Love & Courage card & envelope

For the envelope… a piece of Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The traditional cancer ribbon from Love & Courage stamp set was stamped in Pretty in Pink on the flap & on the envelope front.

This is the first card I mentioned that I made that didn’t seem to fit the ‘clean & simple’ challenge. The DSP in the background is 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 in Strawberry Slush and the ribbon & inking is also Strawberry Slush.

Time to hop around – see what others on the team have created… click the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Either way, check them all. 😀 Enjoy the hop!

Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold

Posted on September 13, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello, hello – It’s Saturday and an absolutely gorgeous day. I’m hoping to get some yard work done – yay! So… my cards for today are a fun fold and use the Charming Day bundle and it’s coordinating Designer Series Paper – Floral Charm 12×12. I really like how they turned out – hope you do as well. I’m going to share both cards and in the info at the bottom of the post I’ll list the different colors & embellishments, Stampin’ Blends – like that. The directions are exactly the same for both.

Stampin' Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold in Blackberry Bliss

Stampin' Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold in Bubble Bath

Card 1. Card 2

The card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 2 1/8, 4 1/4 and 6 3/8. This creates four panels all the same width. Burnish these score lines mountain, valley, mountain. Decorate each panel with a card stock layer then a DSP layer: cs layer1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (cut 4); DSP layer1 3/4 x 5 1/8 (cut 4). When cutting the designer series paper, I make certain it’s a flow of the design that creates a picture. Set this aside and work on the front section.

The front… this card stock is cut 6 x 4 & scored at 3, creating two even sections. Burnish score line. Decorate both with a coordinating DSP layer 2 3/4 x 3 3/4. The left section is the side with the added layers of decoration while the right is used for your written message. The section on the right, add a Basic White piece cut 2 5/8 x 3 5/8. Let’s work on further decorating these two sections.

Stamp the large floral image using the Charming Day stamp set with Memento ink, stamping two images. Also stamp the small leaf image two times.
Color w/ Stampin’ Blends:
- Card 1 – Blackberry Bliss & Fresh Freesia for the flowers; Light Crumb Cake & SU 300 on the leaves. I used these colors to coordinate with the background DSP. I added Wink of Stella to the flowers, die cut the image and set aside. Color one of the small leaf images using the same colors, die cut & set aside.
Stamp the small flower w/ leaves from the Charming Day stamp set – stamping twice in Memento ink.
For card 1 – color the flower in Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends, and the leaves in Light Crumb cake & SU! 300. Add Wink of Stella to the flower. Die cut & set aside.
Card 2 – large floral image: Bubble Bath for the flowers, Light Old Olive and Light Pretty Peacock for the leaves. TIP: for the leaf color combination I colored one leaf with both colors before moving on to the next leaf. This way the inks were still wet and blended really well. Add Wink of Stella to the flowers, die cut & set aside. Color the 2nd small leaf image using the same comb & same combination of Light Old olive & Light Pretty Peacock, die cut & set aside. Remember the tip of coloring one leaf at a time!
Card 2 – small floral image: color flower with Bubble Bath & leaves in same combination of Light Old Olive & Light Pretty Peacock – and remember the tip… add Wink of Stella to the flower, die cut & set aside.

Attach front panels to each card:

Stampin' Up! Charming Day Multi Panel Fun Fold Side view card 2

With the larger card base folded on itself, add the front section. I used my grid paper to make certain the finished card was no wider than 4 1/4″, so it would fit in the standard A2 envelope. Adhere one side down, then the other side.
Add extras… Card 1 – I used Everyday Arches Dies to cut a Basic White piece to make the flowers stand out and adhered. The large floral bouqwuet was attached w/ dimensionals and the small leaf spray was added with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from Charming Day stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink, then added two Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. For the other side of this card, I added the small single flower w/ leaves w/ liquid glue.
Card 2 was done in the very same fashion – except that I used Textured Notes Dies for the Basic White panel, Berry Burst ink for the sentiment and Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots for added embellishment.

Envelope… Coordinating DSP on flaps were added & trimmed to fit. On the front O stamped that sweet small flower and colored each as described above for the individual card. Creating two cards at once was really easy & fun as well. Same layout just different colors.

This is what the card looks like from the top. It stand beautifully for display.

Questions about how to make this card? Connect with me… but I think you will find this a pretty easy card to make. This design/ layout would make a great masculine card – in other DSP patterns & different bundle of course. It would also make a fabulous Christmas card.

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on September 11, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday – and welcome to our fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today that suggests lots of opportunities. I have chosen to use the Delicate Pines Bundle and Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP to create a pretty Christmas card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines Christmas Card front

I used Old Olive for my card base and added a layer of Secret Sea then Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP. I added a strip of Secret Sea to follow the sketch challenge. I then fussy cut this pretty snowflake from the designer series paper. I set this aside while die cutting several pine boughs from Cloud Cover card stock. I attached some to the back of the snowflake with Stampin’ Seal, punched a circle with the 2 3/8″ circle punch from Secret Sea card stock to add to the back for stability and to hold the fragile pine boughs in place. I added dimesnionals to this and attached it to the card front. I slipped in more pine boughs where I though the card needed them, attaching with dabs of liquid glue. As a final touch, I added a single red Faceted Snowflake to the center.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card inside

For the inside… on the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Pines bundle in Shaded Spruce ink then stamped the oh so beautiful pine branches in Old Olive ink that I added secret Sea ink with a sponge dauber. This was added to the Secret Sea card stock panel then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card & envelope

For the envelope… more Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I used the same beautiful pine bough from Delicate Pines stamp set, inked it with Old Olive ink then used a sponge dauber to create depth & interest. Done!

To me, this is a very masculine card… and I like that! I find it rather difficult to create a masculine type card for most occasions. 🥴 Now… before you get on with the hop, card cuts are listed below as well as a way to purchase these products and other Stampin’ Up! products from me.

Stampin’ Up! Peace on Earth Bundle with Winter Meadow DSP, a Fun Fold

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

Hello Tuesday! What does this day have in store for you? For me, it’s the start of new programs and it gets busy. In the Stampin’ Up! world, there is always something new coming out, keeping the creating environment challenging and interesting. The card I have for you today is a fun fold and so super easy. It also uses the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP which is a carry-over from last year. It’s beautiful. I paired it with a new bundle from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog called Peace on Earth.

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth w/ Winter Meadow DSP card front

The card base is Blueberry Bushel – not a color I use very often, but it looks awesome with this DSP. The card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 1/4 & 4 1/4. The first score folds back in a mountain fold, while the 4 14 is a valley fold.

Each DSP is adhered to a Basic White piece before attaching it to the card base. The decorative pieces on the very front use the Peace on Earth Dies to die cut the banners, the dove, the glimmery stars and the Garden Green leaves. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. I used a sponge dauber & Whisper White to add some white to various leaves. The stars were die cut from Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. The stamped Basic White banner was added to the Blueberry Bushel banner with dimensionals. The other items were attached with dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth Bundle w/ Winter Meadow DSP card inside

For the inside, more DSP adhered to Basic White then to the card base. On the right side, the Basic White panel was attached then the sentiment – so it would be ‘hidden’ by the front banner. About the sentiment – a die cut from Basic White using the Christmas Words Collage dies & embossing folder. Once cut, I used the Misty Moonlight ink pad to wipe over the sentiment. It’s a bit darker than I wanted but I still like it. The blue glimmery stars are die cut with the same Peace on Earth dies and again use one of the glimmer papers in the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper pack.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front… a tree from the Frosted Forest stamp set (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) in stamped off Misty Moonlight. Card cuts are listed below.

Want to purchase these items? For every order of $50 & above from Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September (it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers.
