Stampin’ Up! New ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Marbled Elegance Suite

Posted on December 6, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good day sweet folks… we had card class yesterday using the the Marbled Elegance products from the suite – ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. This is a sweet, sweet set of stamps/ dies – the Heart of Elegance Bundle. Take a peek at the card and notice the deep embossing on the white heart – love! And what I like a lot is that this card could be a masculine card, birthday card, anniversary card, thinking of you card, or a LOVE card :O) It’s versatile. And… this is a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Marbled Elegance fun fold side view

I wanted you to see the side view to notice how the center is the fold fold portion. So maybe we call this a ‘center fun fold’??? If you have a better name for it, let me know!

I began with a card base of Real Red 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layered a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. Cut a Basic White 3 1/4 x 8 and score on long side at 4. Attach to card base, centering and even with the Basic White at top & bottom. Cut two strips of DSP 7/8 x 3 3/4 and add to side edges. They will lay up against the center folded panel. (my DSP strips are 3/4″ wide and I didn’t like all the white. Trust me, it looks better with wider strips!) Add the Marbled Elegance DSP 3 x 3 3/4 to the front of this panel. Now cut a heart from Gold Foil and another from Basic White and adhere together. Attach with dimensionals to the fun fold panel. I stopped here but there is more that could be done: add adhesive-backed gold hearts from the suite, add a bow using the gold twine in the suite; or add a sentiment banner across the front. Because I have someone specific in mind for this card, I knew they would prefer something more on the simple side – and it’s gorgeous as is – in my opinion that is.

For the inside.. my students (remember this was a card class) chose to heat emboss with the Gold WOW embossing powder, the sentiment ‘Love you” from the Heart of Elegance stamp set. I took a scrap strip of the DSP and adhered it across the bottom. I will heat emboss a sentiment, just not now.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Fun Fold with Take A Bow 6×6 DSP

Posted on October 27, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Sunday morning – crispy air here today at 48 degrees. I have an easy fun fold today, one I found on Pinterest – hope you like it.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes Fun Fold card front

Susan Campfield created this card in a video tutorial and I liked the ease of it, then did my own thing.

Card Cuts:

5 1/2 x 5 1/4, score on short side at 4 1/4 (here I used Real Red)
4 x 4 (again, Real Red)
DSP panels: 3/4 x 4 (cut 2); 3/4 x 5 1/4; contrasting DSP 3 x 3 3/4 (here I used Take A Bow 6×6)
Basic White: 3 x 3 (circle on front) 2 x 3 (stamped holly); 4 x 3 3/4 (inside)

The first step is to burnish the score line on the card base, then add the 4 x 4 panel, centering it left & right & even with the bottom of the card base. This means it does not attach all the way to the score line! Now adhere the DSP panels: the 3/4 x 5 1/4 across the top and the two 3/4 x 4 panels on. the inside – keeping an even border on each – and the 3 x 3 3/4 on the front panel. Wrap a ribbon around the top & tie a bow. Here I used a retired Garden Green ribbon and kept it in place with a glue dot. As an option you could use that top area for a sentiment.

For the front… with Decked Circles Dies (6th from center), die cut a circle in Basic White and stamp with Sentimental Wishes stamp set and Real Red ink. Add it to the card front with dimensionals. Stamp the holly image from Sentimental Wishes in Garden Green ink and with a water painter very slightly damp, pull the color on the holly leaves. Don’t over work this step. With a Real Red Marker, color the berries, then die cut the image with the coordinating Sentimental Wishes Dies. Attach with dimensionals to the circle. Add Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries – and the card front is complete. :O)

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes Fun Fold card inside

On the inside… with Peaceful Season Dies and Festive 12×12 Glimmer paper in Garden Green, die cut the word Christmas and adhere to the inside of the card. Remember to save the dot on the ‘i’ and attach it as well. Now stamp the word ‘merry’ from Peaceful Season stamp set in Real Red ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside of the card & voila – the card is complete.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Wishes Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope … more of the Take A Bow DSP is adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. AgainI stamped the holly using the Sentimental Wishes stamps in Garden Green ink, used the water painter barely damp to pull the color into the leaves. I used a Real Red marker to color the berries.

Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day for the Happy Inkin’Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 24, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome. It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! You may have popped in from Tara – or from another Krew member. Enjoy as you make the rounds 😀

Stampin' UIp! Happy Inkin' Krew Blog hop Group

So this sketch was a fun challenge! There are so MAN papers I could have used, but I needed a birthday card and also to play with this stamp set. After adding co0lor to each of the dragonflies, I stamped again with VersaMark ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it for a nice ‘glow, then fussy cut each one with my fabulous Stampin’ Up! Paper Snips. The top left dragonfly is Azure Afternoon for the top wings and Balmy Blue for the bottom wings. The upside down dragonfly is Lemon Lime Twist for the smaller wings and Poppy Parade for the larger wings. The last dragonfly is Misty Moonlight for the larger wings and Poppy Parade for the smaller wings. The top left and bottom dragonflies are added with a single mini dimensional while the remaining dragonfly was adhered with liquid glue. I drew antennae with a Basic Black Marker with the fine tip end.

Card Cuts:

Card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (Misty Moonlight)
DSP layer from Country Lace is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
The square is Misty Moonlight 3 x 3 with a layer of Country Lace 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 and adhered directly to the card front
The sentiment panel is 1 11/16 x 2 with more Country Lace 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Happiest Day and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

As a final touch on the card front, I added 3 Adhesive-Backed Dots

Stampin' Up! Happies Day birthday card inside

For the inside I cut a panel of Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4, stamped it in the center with memento ink (sentiment is from Happiest Days). I then stamped the dragonfly in Mementop in, added color with additional wing stamps: Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue inks and drew the antennae with the same Basic Black marker with the fine tip. I did the same as before by stamped over the color with VersaMark ink, sprinkling with Clear embossing Powder and heat set. It gives a nice glowy to the wings.

Stampin' Up! Happies
Days birthday card & envelope

On the envelope I stamped the same dragonfly as before – Memento ink – colored it with Balmy Blue ink for the top wings and Lemon Lime Twist for the smaller wings. On the flap I added another panel of the Country Lace DSP – and done!

Stampin’ Up! Autumn Expressions Grateful Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

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

Welcome, welcome! Welcome to this blog hop group! Our theme this month is ‘Giving Thanks’ in whatever way that means for us… and I have lots for which to be thankful: people, support, this team and other teams, family, a roof over my head – just LOTS! I chose to use the Autumn Expressions bundle – beautiful script stamps, great dies (I’m a succor for leaf dies) and a host of other beautiful Stampin’ Up! products.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Expressions Gate fold card front

Stunning leaf die cut from Textured Metallic 12×12 Specialty DSP in both gold (2) and copper (1). And the very swirly script and framing – all from the Autumn Expressions bundle. Such a great set! The additional DSP is an online product – Meandering Meadows 6s6 DSP. I cut the front panels to look like sunset, the oranges and pinks streaking across the sky. The ‘frame’ is from another panel of the Meandering Meadows DSP.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Expressions Gate Fold, inside

For the inside, I used this wonderful ‘grass’ stamp and Pecan Pie ink – first generation and 2nd generation – to stamp across the bottom. How to do that? Ink the stamp, stamp the paper, stamp again without re-inking. This second stamping is called second generation.

Card Cuts/ directions:

Pecan Pie for the card base – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 2 1/8 on the long side. Burnish and fold other side to meet it, burnishing it as well. Why do I do this in lieu of scoring on each side at 2 1/8? ‘Cuz it doesn’t always come together in the middle – and I want them to. I have found this to be the easiest way to make sure that happens.
Cut Pumpkin Pie 2 x 5 3/8 (2) and adhere to each side front panel
Cut Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 (2) and adhere to the Pumpkin Pie
On Basic White 2 3/4 x 3 3/4, stamp the sentiment from Autumn Expressions stamp set in Pecan Pie ink. Die cut with the smaller ‘frame’ from Autumn Expressions Dies. Die cut the outside ‘frame’ for this using the larger ‘frame’ die. Attach together with dots of liquid glue.
Die cut the gorgeous leaves from 1 1/4 square Textured Metallic 12×12 SDSP – two in gold and one in copper. Attach one go0ld leaf to the top of the sentiment frame with liquid glue, then the copper leaf on the opposite corner also with liquid glue. Attache the other gold leaf with a dimensional. Add three Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments on the sentiment panel. Add sentiment panel to the left side of the gate fold – and the card front is complete!

For the envelope… I added more of the same Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Do the same stamping technique as before along the envelope front.

This can so easily be a masculine card if needed. I like that versatility! And many of these products may be found in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog, Card Stocks & inks, acrylic blocks, paper trimmer – these ‘staples’ are in the Annual Catalog.

Stampin’ Up!Front Flap & Gate Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 3, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the HOP! Our theme today is fun folds – and there will be some extraordinary ones, I am certain. I have chosen a tried & true front flap fun fold for today, using the WinterlyTree Tops bundle, the
Christmas Labels bundle and Nests of Winter 12 x 12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Front Flap Fun Fold with Winterly Tree Tops - card front

I’m going to be honest, I haven’t played with this set and I’ve had it for a bit. I… LOVE… IT… The pine frame is from Basic White card stock (3 5/8 x 5) and die cut with Winterly Tree Tops Dies. The birds are fussy cut (paper snips) from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP and added with dimensionals. The background (stripes) is also from this DSP pack (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) and was layered on Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 3/8), and adhered to the Basic Black card front. I added three Pecan Pie Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE). Let’s look at how this card opens… the front flap opens from the top to show the gatefold, below.

Stampin' Up! Front Flap & Gatefold partially open

The layers are Cherry Cobbler (2 x 5 3/8 – cut 2) and a smaller Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP (1 7/8 x 5 1/4- cut 2) and adhere together and then to the Basic Black card baseThe sentiment panel is stamped on Basic White with Cherry Cobbler ink using the Christmas Labels stamp set then die cut with the coordinating Christmas Lablels Dies. Only the left side of the label was attached to the left ‘gate’.

Here is the inside…

Stampin' Up! Front Flap & Gate Fold, inside

The inside… a panel of Basic White (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) with another fussy cut bird from the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP attached with liquid glue. This panel was added to Cherry Cobbler (4 x 5 1/4) then to the inside of the Basic Black card base. All opened out the card looks like this…

Stampin' Up! Front Flap & Gate Fold fully opened

And the envelope I kept very simple… more of the Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP on the flap & trimmed to fit, and a sentiment stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink from the Christmas Labels stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes in Elegant Mode

Posted on September 20, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! We had a team meeting recently and the Sentimental Wishes bundle was used for three presentations. This card is elegant and stunning.

Stampin' Up! Elegant Sentimental Wishes card front

First of all, I love the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder from the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog. It adds wonderful texture to this card. The Stitched Shapes Dies (circles) feel as though I’m looking through a special window – and I love the Shaded Spruce Satin and Sheer Ribbon bow! Let’s create this together.

Cut a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4 and set aside.
Cut a Basic White panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, place the largest Stitched Shape circle die in the center and die cut. Take this same piece and run it through the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. Hint: Because this is a linear folder, I tend to use the black line as my guide for making sure the lines are straight and square using this folder.
Cut a Cherry Cobbler panel 4 x 5 1/4 and with the next to largest circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies, center the die and die cut. Layer this panel to the back side of the embossed panel with adhesive of choice. Add to the Thick Basic White card front with dimensionals.
On Basic White scraps, stamp the candle image and two holly images from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Memento ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends: flame- Lemon Lolly and Light Pumpkin Pie; holly leaves – Shaded Spruce; berries – Cherry Cobbler; candle shading – Light Gray Granite. Add Wink of Stella to the flame & the dripping wax for a bit of sparkle. Die cut pieces with the Sentimental Wishes Dies.
Add holly branches with glue dots and candles w/ holly on dimensionals to the card front circle.
Add the bow made from Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon with a glue dot – and the front is complete – elegance personified!

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Elegant Sentimental Wishes card inside

On the Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4, stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Memento ink. Stamp the candle image from this set, also in Memento ink. Color as on card front. Adhere this to a Cherry Cobbler panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and add to inside of card. Fait accomplis’ – and beautiful!

Stampin' Up! Elegant Sentimental Wishes card & envelope

For the envelope I added a panel of Regals 6×6 DSP to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. On the front, I stamped the candle image once more in Memento ink and colored as before. Love, love this card! Thank you Karen Ksenzakovich, for your creation and demonstration during our team meeting.

Stampin’ Up! Frosted Forest Halloween Card

Posted on September 10, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group! We have a theme challenge today – Halloween – and I have to say up front, I am not a Halloween kinda gal, so this was a bit of a struggle for me. But I have to say, I like my card and I had fun creating it. :O)

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Halloween Card

This card started with a Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I layered a Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP to the front cut at 4 x 5 1/4. The blues and purples create a spooky kind of look to me. Next I stamped a gorgeous moon from Under the Moon stamp set in Lemon Lolly ink. It was waaay too large for this card so I punched it with a 1 3/4″ circle punch, then trimmed it down again with the same punch to create this moon image. I set the moon aside while I die cut the trees from Basic Black using dies in the Frosted Forest Dies. They are gorgeous! I die cut three full images, then trimmed them down to get seven trees in all, layering as needed. I added these with liquid adhesive so that every branch wasn’t flat – a bit of dimension please. Once the trees were in place I adhered the moon. Bats are perfect in a Halloween picture, so I stamped the bird in Memento ink and colored it with a Basic Black Marker, die cut it with the Frosted Forest Dies and attached it – close enough for a bat, right?!

For the inside… On a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel I added more of the same image from the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP – 2 x 4 – and attached a remaining tree with liquid glue. I pulled out the Alphabet Dies and more Basic Black, die cut the letters BOO! and attached them at an angle. Yep – another bird was needed so I did the same as the bird image on front: stamped in Memento ink and colored with Basic Black Marker. Believe it or not, the bird is part of the Frosted Forest stamp set and has a coordinating die!

Stampin' Up! Frosted Forest Halloween card & envelope

For the envelope I used more of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP that coordinated with what I used on the card front, to adhere to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped three images of the bird on the envelope front.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Evergreen ‘Strip’ Tree

Posted on September 7, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday! What is new in your corner of the world? Now that it is just a bit cooler, hubby and I have been trimming bushes that desperately need it and doing some other yard work … consequently had to purchase some new tools as well. Interesting how tools wear out – just as we do! :O) Anyway – I’ve made a very clean and simple card for you today using the Peaceful Evergreen Dies and the Peaceful Season stamp set. As an FYI, each of these comes as a bundle for 10% savings and can be found in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog pages 24-25.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Evergreens card front

This is pretty much an all white card except for the DSP strips for the tree. I love this clean look, but it is a bit on the plain side. Perhaps I should have run it through an Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. Next time! To make this card..

Start with a 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White panel and die cut the largest tree using the Peaceful Evergreen Dies, centering it.
Using the die cut tree, lay strips across it to your liking. I used the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. Adhere to the die cut.
Place this tree on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, using the cut out tree panel as a guide for placement. Adhere.
Add dimensionals to the cut out tree panel and place on top, centering.
Add to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
On a 1/2 x 3 3/4 strip of Basic White, stamp the sentiment in Real Red ink using the Peaceful Seasons stamp set. Adhere with adhesive only on the ends.
Add embellishments of choice. Here I used the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries
As a final touch I added this Granny Apple Green star at the top, die cut from Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Evergreen 'strip' tree card inside

For the inside… I created another ‘strip’ tree in a smaller size laying the strips on a Basic White panel and die cutting with the smallest of the trees in Peaceful Evergreen Dies. I adhered this to the 4 x 5 1/4 basic White panel, then stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Seasons stamp set in real Red ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card and done…

For the envelope, I took a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Take A Bow DSP and adhered it to the flap and that was it.

Stampin’ Up! Take A Bow 6×6 Stack & Cut C’mas Cards

Posted on September 2, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

This is a brand new week – and hard to believe it is September 2 already. The summer went by so darn quickly…. and yes, it isn’t ended until September 22, I get that. But somehow, Labor Day, school starting, other programs picking up again – it seems like summer ‘up & went.’ Bad English, I know. My cards today… I have resisted creating the ever popular ‘stack & cut cards’. And that’s on me. Yesterday I did it and here are the four cards I created.

Stampin' Up! Take a bow 6x6 Stack & cut #1 — Take A Bow 6×6 #1

Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #3 — Take A Bow 6×6 #3

Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #4 — Take A Bow 6×6 #4

One of the reasons I have resisted making stack & cut cards is they are so similar – and I rarely make two of the same card. What I did here is use very different dies for the front sentiment panels. And if you are not familiar with stack & cut cards – here’s the idea… take 4 designer series papers that coordinate, stack them one on top of the other and cut – meaning all four papers are cut exactly the same. What changes is the order of how they appear on the card. And I made my cards as two horizontal and two vertical cards. By switching the cut papers it changes the ‘look’ of each card while using all the same papers. Make sense?

How to create these cards… the DSP is Take A Bow 6×6 DSP available Sep 4 in the new 2024 Sep-Dec Mini Catalog – choose four (4) coordinating patterns, stack them one on top of another and cut 3 3/4 x 5. On the short side cut at 2 1/2″, then cut that strip on the long side at 2 1/4″. And the remaining uncut strip that is now 1 3/4 x 5, cut it at 3 1/4″, leaving two sizes: 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 and 1 1/4 x 3 3/4. Keep papers in appropriate stacks. Cut four different coordinating card stocks 4 x 5 1/4. Begin laying out the DSP patterns by placing all of the top pieces from the same pattern on each of the four cardstock panels – using the cards above as a guide. None of the designer series papers that I chose are directional, so it didn’t matter where they were placed. If any your patterns are directional, that will make a difference. Continue each pattern of DSP until all are distributed. Adhere to cardstock with adhesive of choice, then add to card base with dimensionals.

Besides the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, here are the various supplies needed for each card:

Card 1 -Something Fancy Dies, Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon in White, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Christmas Friends stamp set on the inside, Real Red ink and Granny Apple Green + Garden Green ink, Adhesive Backed Berries.

Card 2 – Nested Essentials Dies, Greetings of the Season for sentiments, Christmas Friends (mouse) and to color the mouse, Stampin’ Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green, Adhesive Backed Berries, and inks Real Red and Garden Green.

Card 4 – Greetings of the Season Bundle, Christmas Friends stamp set, (mouse)and Stampin Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green for the mouse, Red & White Baker’s Twine, Adhesive Backed Berries.
