Stampin’ Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on July 13, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday morning. Is it HOT where you are? It is HOT here… and the humidity makes it difficult to breathe. Ugh… Having said all that, this is a sunshiny kind of card. It’s just fresh looking and clean. And pretty much monochromatic. Did this tease you a bit? Hope so!

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold

I began by cutting a length of card stock 4 x 10 and scoring it at 2 1/2 at each end. With the card stock still folded, with the largest die in the Countryside Dies, die cut this piece. The die will hang over a bit on each folded end – this is good! This actually creates the fun fold :O). With the next to largest die, die cut another Basic White piece and emboss it with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. There IS a CENTER point to the embossing folder, a main flower. Use that to center the panel you are embossing.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms fun fold.2

Attach this embossed piece to the left front fold of the fun fold panel. I chose to decorate this embossed piece just a bit. I had in my stash, a flower already created. It was made with dies from the Paper Florist Dies, Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock. Is this a sweet flower or what! I then added these small Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels, four on each side, on a bump of the embossing. And the front was done.

Stampin' Up! Countryside Dies Fun Fold.2

For the inside… with Wild Wheat card stock, I used the 2nd largest die from Countryside Dies to cut a panel and centered it on the inside of the fun fold. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White panel and die cut this with the third largest die from Countryside Corners Dies. Another flower was on my desk created using the Paper Florist Dies and I attached it to the card. It used Basic White and Crushed Curry card stock.

I felt this card needed a back as it was only about 3 1/2 x 5 and might get lost in the envelope. I added a piece of the Fresh as a Daisy DSP to a Wild Wheat piece (both 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and centering the fun fold, added it to the new card base. YAY!

Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms Fun Fold.3

For the envelope, I added more of the same Fresh as a Daisy DSP, then stamped the sentiment in Wild Wheat ink. This card can now be used as a thank you, a special occasion, a thinking of you, just about any reason :O)

Stampin’ Up! Color & Contour + Delightfully Eclectic Fun Fold

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

We have a challenge of a ‘fun fold’ for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group today. I’ve combined Delightfully Eclectic DSP and the Color & Contour bundle for my card.

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

This fun fold uses a 5 1/2 x 12 piece of Designer Series Paper. Here I’m using Delightfully Eclectic. It’s scored @ 1 3/4, 4 3/4, & 7 3/4 and folded accordian style or valley, mountain, valley. Here’s the finished card, open.

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Fun Fold inside

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, cut 3 from Bubble Bath card stock cut 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Begin by adhering to the back panel first, centering the die cut. Fold DSP at 2nd score line and attach 2nd Bubble Bath die cut so that it is even with the die cut on the bottom panel. Remember, the adhesive will not cover the entire die cut as there is some ‘overhang’. See photo.

Close entirely and attach the front Scalloped Contour die cut. I do this by turning the die to the wrong side and add adhesive to back side as per this photo. That way I do not put adhesive where it is not needed!

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour fun fold closed

Cut 3 panels of Basic White card stock and decorate as desired. For the front panel I used a Color & Contour sentiment and stamped it in Memento ink. I then used the blotchy dot stamp and Bubble Bath ink to stamp over the sentiment. I attached this to the front Scalloped Contour die then added a flower already put together from the Paper Florist Dies (cut from Fresh Freesia and Basic White) and added it as you see it. As a final touch to the front, I added three Tinsel Gems in Berry Burst. For the second section of this fun fold, I stamped the flower in Memento ink from Color & Contour stamp set, then colored it with the additional stamps provided: Fresh Freesia for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves. I then stamped the sentiment on this panel in Memento ink. For the last panel I stamped the sentiment from Color & Contour stamp set in Memento ink, then the splotchy dots in Bubble Bath and added the panel. Once everything was together, I attached a panel of Old Olive card stock ( 4 1/4 x 5 1/2) to the very back to add strength and stability to the card. All done!

The envelope got more of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the flap, & trimmed to fit. For the front I stamped the leaves in Old Olive, the bud in Memento, then filled the bud with Bubble Bath – all from the Color & Contour stamp set. This is such a sweet, delicate card. I absolutely love it. I hope you do as well.

Now it’s time to continue the hop. Do that by clicking on one of the “previous’ or ‘next’ or a name to continue.

Stampin’ Up! Circle Sayings on a Notecard

Posted on July 9, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

The size of a notecard is 3 1/2 x 5 and is simply a sweet size. And, it is not too small to be mailed. My card today is made with one of the Basic White Notecards and Envelopes.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings on a Notecard

I began by stamping this cute cupcake from Circle Sayings stamp set in Crumb Cake ink and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends Bubble Bath for the icing and Light Smoky Slate for the wrap, I wanted it to look like a foil so added Wink of Stella for the shine. It doesn’t show in the photo but it does in person :O) I stamped the ‘circle saying’ in Crumb Cake as well and die cut with a circle from Sylish Shapes Dies. For more sparkle (cuz birthdays are special occasions) I die cut a larger circle from Soft Shimmer paper in Bubble Bath – yep, Stylish Shapes Dies. I added a bow made from the Simply Elegant Trim in silver and attached it with a glue dot. This item I set aside.

On a piece of Crumb Cake I stamped repeatedly the words Happy Birthday using a stamp from Go To Greetings – in Crumb Cake ink. I attached the stamped and decorated circle with dimensionals. I cut small strips of the same Soft Glimmer paper in Bubble Bath and attached them to the Notecard front, then added the Crumb Cake panel. The Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink seemed to match pretty well, so I added those as well.

Stampin' Up! Circle Sayings Notecard inside

For the inside… I used Bubble Bath ink and Crumb Cake ink to stamp sentiments from Circle Sayings stamp set on a Basic White piece. This was added to a very slightly larger panel of Crumb Cake and added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Circle Saying Notecard and Envelope

For the envelope I used another sentiment from Go To Greetings stamp set to stamp in Crumb Cake ink – and that was it. I kept it very simple.

Stampin’ Up! Floating Technique

Posted on July 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning, July 2. First of all, I cannot believe it is July – did I say that yesterday? It still doesn’t seem like July. Maybe it will grow on me. :O) Today’s card uses a technique I haven’t done in a while and it’s so easy and just gives a card a different look. It’s called a ‘floating technique,’ which means an element looks as though it is sitting on top and unattached. It IS attached.

I’ve also used a new bundle that is part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and will be available July 6 – just a few days from now – Timeless Charm bundle. The die cut flower and the sentiment come from this set. The floating technique is the circle… 1/2″ strips adhered to a window sheet then die cut. For this card I used the Stylish Shapes Dies – the largest circle. This was added to the card base with dimensionals just on the strips so they don’t show. The paper is part of the Delightfully Eclectic pack of DSP. The flower, from Timeless Charm Dies, has lots of detail and is delicate. It too, is adhered with dimensionals – and was die cut from Crushed Curry, one of the coordinating colors for the pack of DSP. The sentiment is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White strip and comes from the Timeless Charm stamp set. I angled the ends and added it to the card with dimensionals as well. The embellishments are Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold.

Ha! I wrote on this card before taking the picture!!! Silliness. For the inside I used the die cut of the flower from Basic White as a stencil to create the inside flower. I used a Small Blending Brush and Fresh Freesia ink to color the flower heads, then switched to a sponge dauber and Old Olive ink to color the leaves & stems. I used a post it note tom cover areas I did not want inked.

This new bundle – Timeless Charm – has a couple of stamps that can be used as a color block or background, and I used one of those after stamping the sentiment in Memento ink. That background was stamped in Fresh Freesia after stamping off once. The Basic White panel was attached to the inside of the card – and all done.

Let me talk just a bit about ONLINE EXCLUSIVES… they are just that, not in any SU! catalog, but digital only. So for those of you who like doing everything digitally, this is one way to do that.

Stampin' Up! Timeless Charm bundle ONLINE EXCLUSIVES

Here is a photo of the Timeless Charm bundle where you can see the flower die cut, the sentiments I used and the ‘background’ kind of stamp as well as other stamps & dies in the set. Since this just arrived on my doorstep the other day, this is my first play – and I can’t wait to create with it some more. Love the leaves and the dies that coordinate. If you are interested in purchasing this product and others from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES, this bundle will be available July 6 along with the Santa Sleigh bundle. However, there are many other products available on line from my store. You may shop those products here.

Stampin’ Up! Zoo Crew Fun Fold

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

Good Saturday morning to you – and Memorial Day weekend. A special thank you to all those who have served in the military – you are honored and remembered… thank you for your service and dedication to this country.

My card for you today is a fun fold – called Triple Panel Pop-Up card. We made this in my class yesterday and everyone loved it. This fun fold can be used with lots of other stamps & dies, but the request from my students was to use Zany Zoo and the coordinating Zoo Crew DSP.

Is this alligator cute or what?! That look on his face says delight to me. And I’ve used him to make this a birthday card. My card base is a standard A2 Thick Basic White. Additional card stock for the front is embossed Pumpkin Pie (embossed with the Cross-Hatch embossing folder from the Basic Embossing Folders from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES). This was layered onto a Pool Party panel and attached with liquid glue to the card base. All die cuts use the Zany Zoo dies: clouds, balloons, banner and the alligator. The alligator was die cut directly from one of the papers in Zoo Crew DSP. The balloons are die cut from scraps of Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. The clouds and banner are die cut from Basic White. The sentiment comes from Zany Zoo stamp set and is stamped in memento ink. I used the Black twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack to ‘attach’ the balloons to the alligator. The little back embellishments are from the Classic Matte Dots. Oh, & I wrapped Linen Thread around the banner for a bit more texture and masculinity :O).

More fun animals for the inside of the card… all fussy cut from the Zoo Crew DSP. The DSP on the inside is from Zoo Crew DSP as well. Embossing folder used is the Hobnail Embossing Folder from the Basics Embossing Folders from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES set of 3. Card stocks for the embossed panels are – from the top – Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. The balloons are die cut from scraps of Lemon Lolly, Zoo Crew DSP, Petal Pink and Pool Party. The sentiment on the left panel is from the Zany Zoo stamp set and the embellishments are from the same pack of Classic Matte Dots but in Basic Gray.

Stampin' Up! Zany Zoo fun fold, back of card.

For the very back of the card… this fun skater of a bird fussy cut from Zoo Crew DSP and adhered to a Basic White panel. This panel is for writing your very own special message to the recipient. :O)

I bet you want directions, don’t you?! The mechanism for holding the three panels looks like this from the top ~

Directions for mechanism:

Mechanism measurements: 3 x 5 1/4: score on short side @ 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4
Fold score line and burnish
Fold ends to center, flattening and not overlapping
Add adhesive (liquid or tear n’ tape) to open ends, add directly to score line of card base
Panels will be added to this mechanism on opposite sides – what you see above is the top panel adhered to left side of mechanism. The middle panel is attached to the right side of the mechanism. Bottom panel is adhered same as top panel.

Triple panel dimensions/ directions:

cut 3 – 1 3/4 x 3 3/8
cut 3 – 1 5/8 x 3 3/8 (these are either embossed or DSP)
Add the embossed or DSP pieces to the larger cuts
Adhere top & bottom panels first to assure proper spacing: remember these are attached to the left side of the mechanism.
Adhere center panel to the right side of mechanism.
Decorate as desired

Card base & other piece measurements:

Card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4
Front panels: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8; embossed piece 4 x 5 1/4
Inside left: 3 1/4 x 5 1/4; 3 x 5
Inside right: 4 x 5 1/4 DSP
Back: 4 x 5 1/4

Here are photos of student cards: notice the card base is Pool Party.

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Inn At Play

Posted on May 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! It is May 2 and you know what that is… the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is LIVE! WooHoo! Today’s card uses products from that new catalog: the Countryside Inn bundle and the Countryside Inn DSP. This DSP is so sweet in shades of blue and some fun little animals.

I used the Countryside in Dies to cut two panels, one in Night of Navy and the smaller in the Countryside Inn DSP. Before adhering them together, I added a strip of Basic White behind the smaller die cut. I pulled out my Petal Park stamp set and the Petal Park Builder Punch. I inked the three stamps of flowers in Misty Moonlight and stamped that a couple of times on Basic White, then punched them out. I punched another couple of sets in Pool Part and also in Night of Navy and began putting them together. Once the flowers were attached to this fun shape, I set about determining a background. I toyed with several ideas and decided on using the Hobnail Glass Dots embossing folder from the Online Exclusives and running it through on Basic White. I lined that with Night of Navy and added both to a Thick Basic White card base. I popped the die cut main ‘attraction’ on dimensionals and the card front was nearly complete. For a bit of sparkle I added the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue and Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party.

For the inside I added a layer of Night of Navy panel, then stamped on a Basic White panel in Boho Blue. These stamps come from the Countryside Inn stamp set. Isn’t the circles one fun? This was adhered to thee inside and I moved on to the envelope

Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2 envelope front

Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn.2 Envelope flap

More stamped circles on the envelope front, with Boho Blue ink, then this very same DSP for the envelope flap ~ adhered and trimmed to fit. Done!

Stampin’ Up! DSP Fun Fold

Posted on March 17, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning… oh wait, that needs to be read with a bit of Irish brogue… good Fridee mornin’ 😀 Happy St. Patty’s day 👍. I have three fun cards for you today – pretty much made the same, just with different Designer Series Papers. The first is the Hello, Irresistible DSP from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and the Irresistible Bloom Bundle.

Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle, inside

Hello, Irresistible DSP, Fine Shimmer Paper in gold, Soft Sea Foam and Flirty Flamingo for the card back… + the Irresistible Blooms Bundle for the Flowers and leaves. You can see in the photo showing the inside of the card how the DSP shows off. Loose Frosted Dots were added for glam.

Stampin' Up! Happy Forest Friends inside

Happy Forest Friends DSP is the show-off on this card. Additions to make it: Smoky Slate & Fine Shimmer Paper thin strips, Happier than Happy Bundle (butterfly & sentiment) and a bit of Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack in Crumb Cake. So Saffron card stock was used for card back.

Stampin' Up! Happy Forest Friends DSP, no wrap, inside

Here again, the show-off is the Happy Forest Friends DSP, but without folding it back on itself.. & it shows off the back of the DSP when opening the card. So Saffron for the card back & Soft Suede for the sentiment banner + the Essential Tag Punch. Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the tag. These are such fun cards to have on hand to add sentiments to when needed. And here’s how to do cards 1 & 2.

Cut DSP 5 1/2 x 6, score on long side (with scene right side up) @ 1/2 on left and 4 1/2 on right end. Burnish. TIP: this creates a card front 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and is best with any DSP that has a ‘scene’.
Add card back (4 3/16 x 5 1/2) to 1/2 end of DSP. Best way to do this is to add adhesive to the 1/2″ end of DSP (inside) & slip card back in the fold and close the card front.
Add the two 1/2″ strips to inside of the right end of the DSP
Add adhesive to back of strips & back of DSP on right end and fold to front on burnish. This shows the back side of the DSP which coordinates so well with the card front. When opening the card, the ‘back’ of the DSP adds a great pattern for the inside of the card.
Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 added to card for writing. A 1/2″ strip of the DSP was added to further show the DSP

Card 3 was even simpler, with the entire card front showing the DSP without it folding back on itself. I still used the same DSP size 5 1/2 x 6 and scored @ 1 1/4, making certain when scoring the ‘scene’ is right side up 😀And the card back was So Saffron 4 3/16 x 5 1/2.

Here are the three cards with envelopes – great variety with same basic template. Love how the ‘scene’ of the DSP is the primary focus – at least in the last two cards. This does show you how to give variety to a basic layout. To see another card with this same layout, please look here.

Stampin’ Up! Rhino Ready & Radiating Stitched Dies for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome, welcome… to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a fun sketch challenge today to get our creative juices flowing. It will be fun to see what the others on the team share.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Rhino Ready & Radiating Stitched Dies

Here’s my card. These Ready Rhinos bundle are just too cute ~ I just HAD to make another card with them. And this is my first play with the Radiating Stitched Dies and I’m really liking them too. Both of these are part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES found on the online store. You may find that link here. But let’s get back to the card… The card base is Mossy Meadow cut as an A2 tent fold. The largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies was used to die cut Happy Forest Friends DSP and was adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Seal. The next to largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies was used to die cut the Sahara Sand layer and that was added to the card front with dimensionals. The rhino was stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap, then colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. Be sure to leave a little white areas for depth :O) The rhino was die cut with the Rhino Ready Dies. To die cut the leaves, I looked for a green DSP that had some variation to it and found it in the Hues of Happiness DSP pack – so… die cut 4 palm leaves, two small & two larger using the Rhino Ready Dies. I also stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on another Basic White scrap (sentiment is from Rhino Ready stamp set) and die cut that with a banner die from the Gingko Branch Dies.

I put dimensionals on the ends of the sentiment banner & Stampin’ Seal in between and placed it on the card. I added the rhino with dimensionals only on his right side, then slipped the palm leaves under the rhino, adding with liquid glue. My final touch for the card front was placing the three Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls for a bit of glam.

I have to say, I really like the inside of this card. Maybe it’s the texture per the Radiating Stitched Dies. Here’s what I did… I used the largest of the Radiating Stitched Dies to die cut a panel of Old Olive card stock, then die cut with the next smaller Radiating Stitched Die a panel of Basic White. I adhered the remaining palm leaf die cut earlier from the Rhino Ready Dies, with liquid glue. I then stamped the birthday sentiment using the Rhino Ready stamp with Memento ink. Both the Old Olive panel and the Basic White piece were adhered with Stampin’ Seal and the card was complete.

Stampin' Up! Rhino Ready and Radiating Stitched Dies card & envelope

For the envelope I simply added a panel of the Happy Forest Friends DSP to the flap and called it enough. Love the Rhino Ready Bundle and the Radiating Stitched Dies – both from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. All other items to make this card are in a catalog. Everything is listed below when you are ready to purchase.

Stampin’ Up! Showing off Embossing Folder Card

Posted on March 13, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning! Have your recuperated yet from the time change? I’m so wishing it would come to an end… just sayin’. My card today is to show off three embossing folders that are part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES Stampin’ Up! has in their online store. This is a new program – the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and new products will be shared March, July & November. They are products that will never be shown in a catalog and may or may not be replenished. Confusing? Well somewhat. But the thing is – if you like it, get it right away so you have it to use and you won’t regret if it sells out and doesn’t return.

Stampin'n Up! Embossing Folders from ONLINE EXCLUSIVES

What I like about this card is the simplicity of the layout, the bright colors and the showing off of the embossing folders, texture. I also like the oval ‘cuz it balances out the other shapes shown in the DSP and the embossing folders. About the embossing folders: flowers, thumbnail glass dots & cross hatch – these are the designs they create.

This IS a colorful card! The background is a layer of the Brights 6×6 DSP in Granny Apple Green. Love the plaid!!! And it’s adhered to a Granny Apple
Green card base. The embossing folders come as a set of three (3) from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES as I mentioned before. And I wanted to really showcase these folders – they have fun shapes and create lots of opportunity for use. These were run through the Cut & Emboss machine with 4 x 5 1/4 card stock, then cut down for use on this card. These were adhered to a Tahitian Tide panel and that was added to the card front with dimensionals. The ribbon is a two-in-one… I created this by putting a strip of tear & tape on the burlap ribbon (from Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo pack) and adding two lengths of Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party on the tear & tape. The oval is a die cut from Fabulous Frames Dies, stamped in Tahitian Tide ink using the Sentimental Park stamp set. The cross-hatch also comes from that stamp set & uses Granny Apple Green ink. The embellishments are the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Tahitian Tide.

The inside of the card is a simple cross hatch from the Sentimental Park stamp set, stamped in Granny Apple Green on a Basic White panel. I need room for my special thanks to this person!

Stampin' Up! EMBOSSING FOLDER show off card & envelope

The envelope has more cross hatching in Granny Apple Green ink from Sentimental Park stamp set, and the flap has a panel of Brights 6×6 DSP in Granny Apple Green. Talk about a cheerful card! This could easily be a birthday card… just change the sentiment banner 😀
