Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of the Silly Old Bear Suite & a Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 9, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Do you remember the adorable stuffed animals of Winnie the Pooh, Eyeore and Piglet? There are others animals produced as well, but I have to say – I loved these animals and the stories that went with them. So when this suite of products became available to demonstrators, I had this suite at the top of my list.

Welcome to the Happy Inkin ‘ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I chose to play with this Silly Old Bear Suite of products available to customers May 5.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursaday Blog Hop

I am really appreciating the new IN COLORS! This card base is Hydrangea Hue 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added this awesome picture panel, cut directly from the 12×12 Silly Old Bear Designer Series Paper. On the lower part of the card front is this stunning label, die cut from Very Vanilla card stock using the Sweet Words & Labels bundle. The sentiment? from the same stamp set – Sweet Words & Labels – stamped in Crumb Cake ink. The embellishments are Neutral Matte Dots.

For the inside of the card I used another sentiment from the Sweet Words & Labels stamp aet, stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla card stock. It was die cut using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies. I adhered it to a the inside of the card after attaching a piece of the Silly Old Bear 12×12 DSP. I then stamped the image of Silly Old Bear & Piglet walking together – using the Sweet Old Friends stamp set. This set also has coordinating dies – and they die cut images straight from the DSP. You are so going to LOVE THIS suite of products. This suite is a May ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and will be available May 5.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Silly Old Bear DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and for the front, this sweet Pooh Bear & Piglet walking along. I did use Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to add some shading – and for Piglet a bit of Old Olive for the top he’s wearing. Below is an image of the suite collection – look at those fun dies! Oh my gosh… so much fun! This takes me back to earlier years for sure.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery Off-Set Gatefold

Posted on March 24, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I have a fun set of cards to share today. And yes, you heard that right – a ‘set’ of cards. I needed several for folks that need a pick-me-up, a thinking of you if they are feeling kind of down. I enjoy the off-set gatefold more than the regular – I have no idea why. At any rate… I was playing with the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP and got on a roll. Here are the four cards.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, card 2

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, card 3

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, card 4

Didn’t these turn out beautifully- all because of the DSP! Each card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 1 1/4 & 5 1/2. After that it simply depends on how you burnish the fold as to which direction it becomes. 😀 Card 2 is off-set to the right while the other three are off-set to the left. And either way works.

Card 1 sentiment is stamped in Old Olive ink on Basic White & uses the Grow with Love stamp set & die cut with Scalloped Wishes Dies. Embellishments are Pearls of Beauty.

Cards 2 & 3 are both stamped in Secret Sea ink using the Courage & Faith sentiment and Branching Out Dies. Card 2 uses Charming Shimmer Dots. Card 3 uses Natural Matte Dots & Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon.

Card 4 sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso ink using the Grow with Love stamp set. It uses other dies in the Scalloped Wishes Dies set. And the embellishments are again the Pearls of Beauty.

On two cards I added an extra card stock layer behind the DSP: 1 1/8 x 5 1/8; 2 7/8 x 5 3/8. The DSP layers are all the same: 1 1/4 x 51/4 & 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. You will see in the next photos that I also lined the inside of the cards with those same DSP measurements. The stamped Basic White layer on the inside is 4 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, inside card 2

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, inside card 3

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery off-set gatefold, inside card 4

Stunning on the inside too, right? It really makes this card extra special. The stamped images on the inside use the Gallery Blooms stamp set: card 1 is stamped in Old Olive ink; cards 2 & 3 are stamped in Secret Sea ink; and card 4 is stamped in Early Espresso ink.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 12, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m using the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP to show off. This one does not have a scene, but it does have this beautiful pattern of light Calypso Coral & Pecan Pie. I’ve paired this with Beautifully Celebrated Dies from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. This bundle of stamps & dies is very versatile! I’ve also brought in the stamp set Prayers & Promises from the same Jan-Apr – 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery 6x6 DSP card front

In looking closely to the card, I hope you see the Damask Designs 3D embossing behind the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP. Those wonderfully scalloped ovals are from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. I die cut these from Pecan Pie card stock and Basic White. The stamping was done with Pecan Pie ink prior to die cutting. The embellishments are Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral. And the ribbon – 3/8″ Gold & White ribbon from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog. 😀

Directions:

The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Pecan Pie with a Layer of the same color & same size, embossed with damask Designs EF & attached to the card base.
The Calypso Coral portion of the card is 8 1/2 x 4 3/4 scored at 4 1/4 on the long side & attached to the card front.
Layer a panel of Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP (from the Annual Catalog!) 4 1/4 x 4 5/8 to the Calypso Coral
Stamp the sentiment in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White 2 x 2 1/2 & die cut using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. Add with dimesnionals to a Pecan Pie piece die cut with the Beautifully Celebrated Dies
Loop a length of the 3/8″ Gold & White ribbon and attach to the back of the Pecan Pie die cut, add these to the card front with dimensionals.
Final touch… two Pearls of Beauty embellishments in calypso Coral

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Galley card inside... Beautifully Celebrated Dies

For the inside of the card… on the panel of Basic White I added die cuts of these two corner pieces, die cut from Calypso Coral using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies. They add such a fun texture & ‘eye candy’ to the inside of the card, nothing else is needed.

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Whispers Feel Better Card

Posted on March 3, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday! It’s March 3 and do you know what that means… new ONLINE EXCLUSIVES AVAILABLE! This bundle & papers are simply stunning and perfect for either masculine or feminine cards.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes Feel Better Card front

I began with a Crumb Cake card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I used two dies from the Delicate Whispers Dies to die cut these two images. I added a strip of the Delicate Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Wood Grain Wonders, wrapped Linen Thread around the two papers, twice, & tied a bow. I attached these to the card front. On a scrap of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkled Wow! Metallic Embossing Powder in Copper & heat set. Once this was cool, I attached it to a piece of Wood Grain Wonders DSP cut with Perennial Postage Dies and attached it with dimensionals over the Linen Thread. I then added the two die cuts under the bow & secured with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes feel better card inside

For the inside, an additional styrip of the Delicate Designs SDSP was added to the edge of the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel and attached to the inside of the card. I’ve stamped no inside sentiment as this card is being signed by lots of folks to let them know we’re thinking of them. I love this card and I think the person receiving it will also!

Stampin' Up! Delicate Wishes card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Delicate Designs SDSP was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front another image from Delicate Wishes stamp set stamped in Crumb Cake ink to bring everything together.

Stampin’ Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold with Scalloped Wishes Bundle

Posted on February 24, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning stampin’ friends. It was an amazing snow day yesterday, here in the Northeast. I’m guessing we got about 28″ and today is 20 degrees so that snow is frozen solid. It’s supposed to be sunny today so some will melt. 😀

I have a very fun pop up slider card today, which I haven’t done before. I was playing with a new bundle that’s a March Online Exclusive – available March 3 to customers. It’s so sweet. And Vellum seems to be popular these days, so I’ve used some of that too.

Stampin' Up! Pop Up Slider Fun Fold w/ Scalloped Wishes, card front

The card base is a standard 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I cut a piece of Country Wood 12×12 DSP 4 x 5 1/4 and added it to the card front. I embossed a Vellum panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 using the Damask Designs embossing folder. I pulled out Crumb Cake card stock and stamped a lacy border image in Crumb Cake ink then die cut it and a Basic White lacy die that fits this banner. I stamped the sentiment using the Prayers & Promises stamp set (from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog) in Misty Moonlight ink, then added the lacy die cut to the Crumb Cake with dabs of liquid glue. I attached this to the Vellum panel, then adhered the Vellum to the card front, adding glue only behind the banner. The reason is, the glue can b e seen through the Vellum if it’s added where there is no paper on the front. To complete the card front, I added three Pearls of Beauty in White.

For the inside… Cut two more panels of Country Woods 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) and add to the inside of the card. For the mechanism cut two pieces of Basic White: 2 x 5 1/4 scored on each end at 1/2″; 1 1/2 x 9 3/4 scored at 3/4, 5 1/4, 7, 7 1/2 & 9 1/4. Burnish all score lines. Add a piece of Country Woods DSP to the smaller Basic White piece (1 3/4 x 4) – set this aside to work on the ‘slider’. This long piece… the 3/4 score should be folder under while the rest of the score lines are burnished to come back up & over itself. Attach the 3/4 scored end to the right edge of the left inside panel centering it top to bottom – see photo.

Add glue to those folded back ends of the decorated 2 x 5 1/4 piece & attach to the right inside of the card,over the mechanism and approximately 1/4″ from the next score line of the slider mechanism. You are attaching this to the card base, over the mechanism -see photo.

Final step of the mechanism… adhere the last scored portion of the long strip to the left edge of the decorated 2 x 5 1/4 panel. See photo.

Close the card to make the mechanism work properly and allow glue to set. Now, add adhesive to that thin part standing up & add the decorated element.

In the above photo, I stamped the image of this gorgeous flower using the Simply Beautiful stamp set & Memento ink on a Basic White piece. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Petal Pink and Light Timid Tiger. I die cut the flower & attached it with liquid glue to that thin standing up piece of the mechanism. I die cut the stamen of the flower from Country Woods DSP, added Wink of Stella to it & attached it to the center of the flower. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink with a sentiment from Simply Beautiful stamp set. I fussy cut the sentiment and attached it with mini dimensionals to the flower.

Final touches… I die cut these stunning dragonflies from Country Woods DSP and attached them to two places on the card. I embellished them with Pearls of Beauty in white – same as used on the card front. Open & close this card several times and the slider works perfectly! I am so excited about this new fun fold and can’t wait to try it with some other bundles in my stash… stay tuned!

Stampin’ Up! Double Flap Fun Fold with Petals of Beauty

Posted on February 5, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Today is card class and we are making a fun & easy double flap card. I’m always watching card videos and this idea came from those many views. I’m using one of my favorite floral bundles to make this card – Petals of Beauty, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle released in November.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty card front, fun fold

Are those stamped & die cut florals gorgeous or what! And, stamped in Bubble Bath ink is just so soft and delicate, and that overlay in Basic White just adds to the charm. The card base is Strawberry Slush 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I then trimmed 1″ from each side of the card front, (cutting it to the score line) & removing those pieces. This allows us to see the beauty of the DSP underneath – Mixed Up Patterns, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE item. Before adding DSP panels we need that extra flap that folds over (this holds the flower die cuts & sentiment). This panel can really be any width, but because of the large flowers this panel is 2 1/4 x 6, then scored at one end at 4 1/4. This will be attached to the card base, centering it so the scorer line is at the right edge of the card base.Now add a panel of DSP 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Here I used a Strawberry Slush pattern from this delicious Mixed Up Patterns paper. Now we decorate!

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, one flap over

Cut a piece of coordinating DSP (here I chose a Bubble Bath pattern from Mixed Up Patterns 12×12 pack) 2 1/4 x 5 1/2. I embossed this panel prior to adhering it, using the Kintsugi Embossing folder, then attached it to that upper flap. For the side flap I cut a panel of Bubble Bath 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 and stamped it using the Petals of Beauty stamp set and stamped the leaves.. I wrapped this with a 1/2″ Basic White Woven Ribbon from the Everyday Skies suite collection, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this ribbon! It ties bows so beautifully. Once that ribbon was in place around the Bubble Bath stamped panel, I adhered it to that other front flap. I stamped the flowers from Petals of Beauty in Bubble Bath ink on Basic White. This is a two-step stamp: the outline stamp and the filler stamp (that’s what I call it anyway). The outline stamp is full strength Bubble Bath; the filler stamp is stamped off once Bubble Bath. I die cut these from the Petal of Beauty Dies, then die cut the ‘overlay’ from Basic White – two large flowers and one smaller one. I stamped my sentiment in Bubble Bath ink and cut it apart, putting both portions on dimensionals and added them to this ribboned panel. Then I placed my flowers, putting dimensionals on those as well. Final touch… Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Petals of Beauty fun fold, inside card

The inside panel is 2 x 5 1/4 stamped in Bubble Bath ink. The sentiment if from Words of Beauty, a coordinating stamp set in the Suite Collection. The leaves at the bottom are the same as on the front flap: stamped in Bubble Bath ink.

Completed card once more…

Stampin’ Up! ‘Pinched Paper’ Fun Fold with Lovely & Beautiful SDSP

Posted on January 16, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! It’s 18 degrees this morning but nice & brightly sunny 😀 My inspiration came from one of my card class students who passed along info about making this cute fun fold. That led me to watch a video by Rachel Tessman. Let’s look at my creation.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful fun fold card front

This begins with a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 and adhering a strip of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 to the center of the panel. Now cut two more strips from the same pattern 1 3/4 x 5 1/4. Adhere those strips in this fashion: the left strip – add adhesive only to the left edge & attach; the right strip – add adhesive to the right edge and attach.

Folding: fold back the top right side of the left strip to approximately the center of the card, but the fold should not allow any of the Basic White to show. Turn the card upside down and do the same for that same panel to create the bottom fold. Now, do the same for the right strip; fold back the top left side of the right strip just to the edge of the center strip pattern to a center point. Turn the card upside down again and do the same on the bottom right side. Burnish those folded back sections.

TIP: this folding back does not necessarily have to be to the center; it could be more toward the top or toward the bottom, but both sides do need to be uniform – to the same point.

Create the center pieces to cover where the papers come together. I pulled out my Beautifully Celebrated Dies, Fresh Freesia card stock and Basic White, die cut the two pieces and adhered them together. ( I used the smallest & next size up). I then stamped this sweet leaf image in Old Olive ink from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set and colored it with Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. I die cut it with coordinating dies (Beautifully Celebrated) and set it aside. I used the Simply Beautiful stamp set and Old Olive ink for the sentiment and fussy cut it, adhered the leaf to the back of the sentiment then attached the sentiment with mini dimentionals to the two die cut banners. W
ith the Simply Beautiful stamp set, I stamped the small flower in VersaMark ink (twice) on a Basic White piece, sprinkled those with WOW? Metallic Gold embossing Powder & heat set them. I colored both with Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends for the flowers and Daffodil Delight for the center of the flowers. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Simply Beautiful Dies and adhered them to the same banner: one adhered directly to the and one on dimensionals (yes, it slightly covers some of the sentiment) I attached the banners to the front of the card with dimensionals and added three Pearlized Faceted Circles.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the same small flower from Simply Beautiful stamp set in VersaMark ink on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder & heat set it. Again I colored it with Stampin’ Blends Fresh Freesia and Daffodil Delight. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a nother piece of Basic White and die cut it with Words of Beauty Dies. I adhered this just beneath the flower – and finis! This could easily be a sympathy card or get well card or simply ‘hello friend’ kind of card. But I love the simplicity of the fun fold and the extra charm it creates. Hope you like!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 18, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the week before Christmas – and this fun blog hop with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today… I’ve chosen to use the Simply Beautiful bundle & other products in the Lovely & Beautiful Suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful Bundle card front

I began with a Fresh Freesia card base and added two layers of the Lovely & Beautiful Special DSP, off-setting them for the challenge and attached them with dimensionals. I then pulled out Petal Pink to die cut the two flower pieces and Gold Foil for the stems & leaves. I used a sponge dauber & Calypso Coral ink to add dimension to the flower centers. Using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies, I also die cut the sweet label under the flower from Basic White and used the same sponge dauber to sponge the edges. I stamped the sentiment in Petal Pink ink and fussy cut along the bottom. This was attached with dimesnionals. Final touch… the awesome Pearlized Faceted Circles. Let me explain the flower layers a bit more… I added the two petal layers with a single cut in half mini dimensional, but it didn’t quite ‘sit’ the way I wanted, so I rolled a glue dot and attached that to one of the petals and it did the trick. The gold foil stamen is added with a glue dot.

For the inside… The leaf is stamped with Memento ink – my ink pad is way juicy and the image is quite strong 😦 But I colored the leaf with Stampin’ Blends in Old Olive. I added the Basic White panel to another piece of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP and attached them to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card & envelope

For the envelope… another stamped image in Memento ink Simply Beautiful stamp set & colored with Stampin’ Blends Petal Pink & Old Olive. The flap has the same Fresh Freesia Lovely & Beautiful SDSP trimmed to fit. For information about shopping with me or joining my team, see below.

Stampin’ Up! Pleated Fun Fold with Botanical Textures DSP

Posted on November 19, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

I posted a card last week that was made in this same way. Todays card is simply black & white with the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP (on the last chance list so ON SALE!) I used a new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE embossing folder – Beautiful Pattern and really like the design it creates.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures

You will notice I offset the pleated panel and tied the bow on the side. This has a totally different look. Here is the link to the card with this same pleat or accordion type fold.

More photos… card open to the left so all layers show, then card open to right where only the second panel is decorated. You could, of course, decorate the other panels, but they would not show when the card is closed or open.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures, open to left

Notice the DSP is cut so each design matches the next, starting with the left far panel to even the small strip on right. These were purposely cut sequentially so the pattern would ‘flow.’

Stampin’ Up! Triple Panel Card with Thoughtful Journey DSP

Posted on November 8, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Saturday! I have two cards for you today – both Triple Panel Cards (my name for them :O) made with a single piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP. Because of the colors that ebb and flow in this extraordinary DSP, each card has a different color card base – reflecting & highlighting the main ‘theme’ color. Again, these two cards are from the same panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP!

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey in Petunia Pop

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey in Misty Moonlight

Each of the triple panels are 1 x 4 layered on card stock 3 1/4 x 4 1/8. Another layer of Thoughtful Journey DSP (4 x 5 14) was added to the card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). The triple panel was attached to the card base with dimensionals. Each has a coordinating ribbon: 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Petunia Pop & 1/4″ Misty Moonlight Ribbon. Both also have Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots on appropriate cards: Berry Burst & Night of Navy. The sentiments are from The Right Words stamp set: Petunia Pop ink die cut with Traditional Labels Dies & Misty Moonlight ink, fussy cut. The sentiments were added with dimensionals over the ribbon.

Stampin' Up! Triple Panel card in Petunia Pop, inside

Stampin' Up! Triple Panel card in Misty Moonlight, inside

A strip of Thoughtful Journey was added to each inside panel, one is 1/2″, the other 5/8″. Again, sentiments are in Petunia Pop ink & Misty Moonlight ink using The Right Words stamp set.

What is so interesting about these two cards, is how totally different they are, yet the same design from the same 6×6 piece of Designer Series Paper. Stampin’ Up! just makes it so easy! Love, love.
