Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Thank You

Posted on July 15, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday morning! I have a un card for you today with a few bright colors from the Masterfully Made DSP. I used one of the dies in this Gorgeously Made bundle that I haven’t used much – the spiral bound die. This die creates an edge like being torn from a notebook! I love it.

I used Azure Afternoon for my card base. Isn’t this a wonderful shade of blue? I roughened up edges of two sheets of paper: Basic White and a flowery panel of the Masterfully Made DSP and adhered them to the card front a bit cockeyed. I took a much smaller section of this beautiful paper and used the spiral die for the top edge and attached it with dimensionals. I die cut this gorgeous leaf using the appropriate die from the Gorgeously Made Dies in Lemon Lime Twist and Vellum. I used a different leaf die from this die set and cut another from Vellum and attached all three to the card front with glue dots. This created a wonderful leaf spray and focal point. I stamped this sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink to a Basic White scrap, die cut with this fun edged die from the Gorgeously Made Dies and adhered it to a scrap from the Masterfully Made DSP, wrapped this fun ribbon around (from the Ribbon Duo Pack, Lemon Lime Twist) and attached the banner with dimensionals. I took another length of this same ribbon and slipped it under the ‘wrap around’ and tied a bow. I adhered it in place with a glue dot. I added three Tinsel Gems 4 Pack in Blueberry Bushel and the card front was complete.

For the inside, I used that fabulous spiral die to die cut a Basic White panel and added it to the inside of the card. I die cut another of the fabulous leaves from the Gorgeously Made Dies in Pretty Peacock and attached it with dabs of glue under various leaves to the Basic White panel – and that was it.

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped the front with Azure Afternoon ink using a stamp from the Gorgeously Made stamp set then added another piece of the Masterfully Made DSP to the envelope flap and trimmed it to fit.This is a fun, bright, cheerful thank you card.

Stampin’ Up! Earthen Textures Thank You

Posted on July 5, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Wow! Did you see fireworks last night? Were they spectacular or what?! Hope everyone is safe… I have a quick and easy card for you today made with the Earthen Textures DSP, a die from Cheerful Daisy Dies that seems to coordinate well , and Gorgeously Made stamp set for the sentiment and a fun decorative stamp for the inside and the envelope. I also brought in a die from the Timeless Arrangement Dies for the sentiment.

Isn’t this pretty DSP? It looks a bit like sea grass to me. And because of that I pulled this fun die from Cheerful Daisies Dies to accent. Those die cuts are from Copper Clay and Gray Granite. I layered the Earthen Textures DSP to a Gray Granite panel just slightly larger, then with dimensionals added it to a Copper Clay card base. The sentiment is from the Gorgeously Made stamp set stamped in Copper Clay ink on a Basic White piece. This was die cut with a die from Timeless Arrangements Dies and added with dimensionals over the ‘sea grass’ die cuts.

For the inside I looked for a stamp that simulated the DSP on the card front and found this stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set – and stamped it with Copper Clay ink on the Basic White panel. This piece was attached to a Gray Granite panel slightly larger, then directly to the inside of the card base. DONE!

Stampin' Up! Earthen Textures DSP card and envelope

For the envelope… The same stamp was used for the envelope front as the inside of the card, from Gorgeously Made stamp set. Another swatch of the Earthen Textures DSP was added to the envelope – and this card is ready.

Stampin’ Up! Countryside Corners Dies: One card layout, three cards

Posted on July 1, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning – and July 1 has rolled around quickly!!! I’ve been out of touch lately, stepped back for a couple of reasons: some family health issues and a family reunion. The family health issue is turning around (at least we think so!) and the family reunion was for my hubby’s side of the family which we ran. Family came from Hawaii, California, South Carolina, Washington state, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey (this was us!). There were 27 of us in one house from 11 months to 85 years – and we fed them all for three days… Talk about a challenge! We had some wonderful help from those attending and today’s cards are for some of the hardest workers. Yes, I have more to make, but this is a start. Here are the three cards.

And a closer look at each card:

This card uses the

This card was made using the Exposed Brick 3D embossing Folder, Inked Botanicals 6×6 DSP, Petal Pink and Basic White card stocks, all on a Lost Lagoon card base. The ribbon is Bordered Ribbon in Lost Lagoon and the Gems are Iridescent Pastel Gems in gold. I used Layering Leaves stamp set for the sentiment and Countryside Corners Dies for the layers.

This card was made with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, Gorgeous Gingham 6×6 DSP, Gray Granite, Pretty Peacock and Basic White card stocks, The card base is Pretty Peacock. I used the Layering Leaves stamp set and the coordinating Bough Punch, stamped in Pretty Peacock ink. The bow is Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in white and the embellishments are Classic Dots in Gray. Again, the Countryside Corners Dies were used to create the layers.

Card 3 is made using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, Inked Botanicals 6×6 DSP, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Basic White card stock for the layers. The leaves come from a new bundle which will be in the next Mini Catalog :O) and it is Translucent Florals & Translucent Florals Dies. The leaves on the card front were stamped on Vellum in Lost Lagoon ink and heat set, then die cut. The sentiment is from the Translucent Florals stamp set as well. White Baker’s Twine for the bow from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. Embellishments used were the Iridescent Pastel Gems in gold. And yes, the Countryside Corners Dies were used to create the layers.

And now, a couple of photos from the reunion : the large group is all 27 of us; the group of four is our daughters, hubby and me. :O)

Special Blessings to each of you. Hope you enjoy today’s cards. More to follow tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day.

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.

Stampin' Up! EF Online Exclusives, inside

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 😀

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline Thanks Card

Posted on February 10, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Friends! I have a fun, different card for you today ~ it’s a slimline card using the FREE Sale-a-bration DSP Dainty Flowers. It’s available with a $50 purchase, but only during Sale-a-bration, which ends Feb 28 ~ soon. I saw this card, I think from Mary Fish, and decided to make one myself. You could make this card with any Designer Series Papers.

I used Old Olive card stock as my card base, 7 x 8 1/2 scored at 3 1/2, then cut another panel of Old Olive 3 1/4 x 8 1/4. I cut two pieces of the Dainty Flowers DSP 3 1/4 x 8 1/4, laid them together kind of catty-wampas – you know, crooked, and adhered them together. I placed them on the additional Old Olive panel, marked the left edge & trimmed it. I then placed that trimmed edge on the Paper Trimmer & cut it to 8 1/8 in length so it would have a straight top edge & fit on that Old Olive panel – then adhered it to the Old Olive panel and added it to the card front with dimensionals. I pulled out the Something Fancy Bundle to stamp the sentiment in Starry Sky ink and die cut it with this fun hexagon die from the Something Fancy Dies. Then I die cut another piece as a background from another piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP and using yet another die from Something Fancy Dies, then cut another from Basic White. The Basic White die cut I cut in half lengthwise and adhered behind the DSP die cut to create a bit of frame. This I attached to the card front with dimensionals. I put the hexagon sentiment piece also on dimensionals and added it to the panel. For a bit of bling I added three Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls then a baker’s twine bow from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine package – in Starry Sky. This is a double bow. And the card front was done :O)

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers Slimline, inside

Remember those pieces I trimmed from the left edge? Here they are on the inside of the card, adhered to a Basic White 3 1/4 x 8 1/4 panel. And the card is d-o-n-e! Love this… and it would be a great style for a masculine card birthday or whatever. The envelope I us for this is from the Slimline Envelopes from the Annual catalog – just forgot to take photo!

Stampin’ Up! Favored Flowers Thanks

Posted on January 24, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Tuesday! It rained here all day yesterday… and about 36 degrees. Luckily it wasn’t colder, right?! I lead a program at our church called Stephen Ministry and we are currently running a training program for new Stephen Ministers. One of the things I like to do is try to include already trained Stephen Ministers to help train the new students. And this is a thank you card for the teacher that led a recent class.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers w/ Favored Flowers DSP

I used the FREE Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP that is available with an order of $50 during this time of Sale-a-bration. Love it! I also used the second largest Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut the DSP and another to die cut the sentiment. You can see another strip of it behind the sentiment (1/2 x about 3 3/4). Getting ahead of myself…

Die cut the Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP with the second largest Stitched Rectangles Dies
Add this to a panel of Evening Evergreen card stock slightly larger.
Add both of these to a Petal Pink card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Calypso Coral ink – on a Basic White scrap. Die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies
Cut a strip of the Favored Flowers DSP 1/2 x 3 3/4 and add to the card front with Stampin’ Seal
Add the stamped sentiment with dimensionals
Add three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Petal Pink

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers w/ Favored Flowers DSP.inside

For the inside… I stamped the flower from Fragrant Flowers stamp set with Memento ink on the Basic White panel, then colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Light & Dark Petal Pink for the flower and Light Soft Succulent and Dark Evening Evergreen on the leaves. This reflects the DSP. This Basic White panel was layered on Evening Evergreen then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Fragrant Flowers and Favored Flowers DSP, Card & envelope

I cut a panel of the Favored Flowers 12×12 DSP (did I mention it is FREE during Sale-a-bration with a qualified order!), adhered it to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front I stamped the small flower from Fragrant Flowers stamp set in Memento ink, slipped a piece of paper inside the envelope so the Stampin’ Blends don’t bleed through, then colored the image as before: Stampin’ Blends Light & Dark Petal Pink for the flower and Light Soft Succulent and Dark Evening Evergreen on the leaves. This Basic White panel was adhered to an Evening Evergreen piece and adhered to the inside of the card. Done!

Stampin’ Up! Sentiment Park Bundle for a Thank You

Posted on January 18, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning! It’s mid-week… have you been making progress on your list? I sometimes make paper lists, but more often the list is in my head. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes not so much. This week, at least so far, I’m feeling good about what I’ve done… cleaning my craft room. My craft room has lots of other products/ projects besides Stampin’ Up!, card making, stamping, paper, etc. And that’s where my focus is ~ what am I likely to do or better yet, when did I last work with this medium? Then the questions is… what becomes of the materials? Keep? Pass on? Or do they go in the trash? Up to now it’s been mostly pass on and trash!!! But now comes the hard part… actually using or completing a project once started some time ago 😀 In the midst of decisions… I made a card for today using the wonderful new Sentimental Park Bundle and Regency Park 6×6 DSP.

Just look at this fun Regency Park 6×6 DSP… but the showstopper is the center banner – l-o-v-e! That is made with the Sentimental Park Dies. And those cute little flower die cuts? Yep – Sentimental Park Dies. The sentiment is from Sentimental Park stamp set. The ribbon is fun too, a nice accent. That is from the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack found in the new Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. And the embellishments? Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots, also found in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. Do you not have a catalog? If you do not have a demonstrator, reach out to me and we can fix that 👍

For the inside of the card, I began by stamping the floral images from Sentimental Park stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink. The sentiments are also from the Sentimental Park stamp set and stamped in Petal Pink for a nice soft contrast, but maybe are too soft as they don’t show quite enough. ugh…

For the envelope, more of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit. The flowers are from Sentimental Park stamp set – and a two-step stamp set. The filler is Petal Pink ink with the accent being Sweet Sorbet ink. Great combination!

Stampin’ Up! Showing off NEW Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP

Posted on December 22, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday! It has been a week today since hubby had total left knee replacement. The week SEEMS to have flown by, but not really.My craft room is upstairs and I keep bringing items down to the main floor to work as I can. And you know what – it ALL has to return to its rightful place SOON – in time for family to arrive Christmas Day. And… I desperately need to wrap presents!!! Does everyone have their wrapping complete but me? 🥴

Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP is new in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog – and at first I didn’t really like it much. But as I work with it, it’s really growing on me. Today I have combined the Fancy Flora DSP with Something Fancy stamp set & coordinating dies, but also the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this paper reminds me of oils and Monet and this embossing folder just ‘goes’. I’ve also used Natural Finish Ribbon, Opal Rounds, and Sahara Sand ink.

What I did:

Cut a panel of Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP (available Jan 5, 2023) to cover the entire front of an A2 card.
Emboss this panel with the Painted Texture 3D EF; adhere panel to a Thick Basic White card base
Cut a length of Natural Finish Ribbon, trim ends to your liking, fold over and add to card front with glue dots
Stamp sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set with Sahara Sand ink; die cut with coordinating Something Fancy Dies
Adhere die cut over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Opal Rounds and the front is done!

Something Fancy stamp set and Something Fancy Dies – (available Jan 5, 2023). These also coordinate with the Fancy Floral bundle. The sentiments are great for lots of different occasions.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora DSP, card inside

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora DSP completed card & envelope

You can see I stamped a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set – Sahara Sand ink, then added a strip of the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP to the bottom. For the envelope, more of the same pattern Fancy Flora DSP adhered to flap & trimmed to fit. Voila! Look at some of the papers in this pack and see if you could create something similar – but a masculine card. I think you can!

If you would like to order any of the products to make this card from my online store or any other items, that’s really easy to do. And remember to use my current HOST CODE 4BGN9HG4 to earn credit from me. Here’s how it works… when you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM valued up to $10 from me + the Star-Studded Rewards 😀👍

My Star-Studded Rewards as a THANK YOU

Products to make this card that are available now… The other products will be available Jan 5, 2023. Contact me if you need catalogs!!!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Thank you

Posted on June 10, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hi Folks – Friday it is… perhaps you’re thinking TGIF and maybe you have some fun plans. Whatever you have going on, I hope you have some time to create something special for someone – as in ‘handmade card.’ Hint, hint :O)

My card for today allows for some DSP to take center stage, then a gorgeous wreath is placed upon it to really give it some pop. Here it is…

The DSP is Sun Prints 12 x 12 which coordinates so beautifully with the Nature’s Prints bundle. I mean, look at the gorgeousness of that paper. This was added to a Calypso Coral card base. I die cut two wreaths from Basic White card stock using the Natural Prints Dies. The bottom wreath is adhered directly to the DSP with dabs of liquid glue. The top wreath is placed on mini dimensionals and added to the other. I stamped the sentiments from Nature’s Prints stamp set on Vellum – Memento ink and using my Stamparatus again. I cleaned the stamp, re-inked it with VersaMark and stamped again: then sprinkled it with Clear Embossing powder and heat set with m y Heat Tool. This made a clear, shiny sentiment that ‘glows’. I die cut the sentiment banner using Natural Prints Dies and added it to a strip of Calypso Coral with just a bit of Stampin’ Seal (I probably should have used glue dots!) I put dimensionals on the back of the Calypso Coral and added it over the wreath. Several Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels were added for sparkle. Love these jewels!!

Nature’s Prints Bundle Thank You, inside

For the inside I took a narrow strip of the same Pretty Prints 12 xl. 12 and added it near the bottom of the Basic White panel, then added the panel to the inside of the Calypso Coral card base.

More of the same Pretty Prints DSP was adhered to the envelope flap. For the envelope front I stamped this stunning fern leaf in stamped-off at least twice Calypso Coral ink. It just adds a gorgeous touch to the entire piece.

Stampin’ Up! Twigs & Sprigs Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 12, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello there! It’s our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and I’ve a fun card to share with you today. We have a sketch challenge and I’m using three of the new In Colors and a couple of embossing folders to share with you.

And here’s our sketch challenge for this week.

And here’s what I created for the challenge… embossing folders to create texture and share in new product!

Super fun – so out of my ordinary with color combo, but I love it! I started with a Tahitian Tide card base, and cut another of the same card stock in 4 1/4 x 5 12, embossed that piece with the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder (EF) using the splatters EF and adhered directly to the front of the card.

I cut a panel of Starry Sky 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 and put dimensionals on the back. Next I ran a panel of Parakeet Party cut to the same size through the Cut & Emboss machine with the Twigs & Sprigs EF, layered it off-center on the Starry Sky panel and adhered the two together with liquid glue, then with dimensionals on the back of the Starry Sky piece, added them both to the card front. I cut a strip of Starry Sky 5/8 x about 2 1/2, stamped the sentiment from Charming Sentiments in VersaMark ink. I then sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. I added two 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Parakeet Party to the banner, put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card. DONE!

For the inside, I again used the Charming Sentiments stamp set to stamp the sentiment directly on the inside of the card in Starry Sky ink. I did this using the Stamparatus… cuz I needed the next layer, the Basic White panel to be in the perfect spot.

With the Basic White panel in place, I stamped it with Starry Sky without re-inking, removed the Basic White panel and die cut the words with the new & fabulous Sentiment Silhouette Dies (coordinates with the Charming Sentiments stamp set and as a bundle is 10% off!). I then adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card & voila. :O) I hadn’t done this before and am really pleased with the way it turned out. Isn’t that fun?

OK, card was complete, time to do the envelope…remember the words die cut from the Basic White inside panel? I adhered them with liquid glue to the envelope front. For the flap, I ran a piece of Starry Sky card stock through the Stripes & Splatters EF, using the stripes EF, adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. Bingo.

Let me tell you about the Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Fold & Die – it’s two parts… the die cuts all the twigs & sprigs from the EF so they can be used in a fun way on another card. I was playing you see, wanted to know what it would do… and it’s run through together, at the same time. To create this card front, I didn’t use the die, just the EF. You understood that, right? Good! Just wanted to be sure. 😏

OK – hop… To continue the hop, click the next button or click on a name to visit a specific blog. Either way, enjoy this creative bunch. Thanks for joining us today!
