Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter Thinking of You Card

Posted on November 14, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a color challenge today and it put me to the test :O). One of my favorite colors is Pool Party and pairing it with Real Red just made my day. There’s very little of Pecan Pie, but it’s in the branch, as is Early Espresso. And I used Stampin’ blends Granny Apple Green for coloring some leaves on the inside of the card. You will see some fabulous inspiration as you view everyone’s blog. Enjoy! For now, let me tell you how to re=create this beauty.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Thinking of You

The Nests of Winter 12×12 DSP does most of the work on this card. I used a Stitched Shapes Die to create the circles of DSP and Basic White. I used the Winterly Tree Tops dies to die cut the robin with berries in it’s mouth. T
he two ribbons are Cherry Cobbler & Gold along with Shaded Spruce Satin Ribbon. Other products to create this card were the So Swirly Embossing Folder, Real Red card stock and those fun White Loose Snowflakes.

For the inside of the card… I stamped the garland image using Memento ink and the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set. I colored this with Granny Apple Green , Real Red and Pecan Pie Stampin Blends. The sentiment is from this same stamp set – Winterly Tree Tops and Memento ink. I splattered the Basic White panel with a Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

For the envelope… I added this wonderful Garden Green stripe from the Nests of Winter DSP & trimmed it to fit. On the front I added a fussy cut leaf & berry image from one of the DSP panels.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter Thinking of you card & envelope

What’s extra nice about this card is that there’s nothing to indicate this is a holiday card – it could be used for a birthday or a ‘thinking of you’ after surgery, illness or a loss. It is extremely versatile.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey Sympathy Card

Posted on August 9, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Sympathy cards are always difficult. We often know the person well – or the family and we get emotional when making them. It can also be a form of remembrance and fond memories allowing us to feel connected differently. This is one such card.

For today’s card I have taken a leftover piece of Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and cut it down to 3 x 4. I attached it with Stampin’ Seal to the Painted Texture 3D embossed panel of Basic White cut 4 x 5 1/4. This was added with dimensionals to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. With the Friends For Life Dies and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (1 3/4 x 4), I die cut the beautiful leaf, trimmed it into two sections and adhered the longer section to the card front with small dots of liquid glue. In cut a strip of Calypso Coral 1/2 x 5 and adhered it in place, grounding the DSP scene. I added a 1/4 x 4 3/4 strip of Mossy Meadow. The sentiment strip is 3/4 x 3 3/4 stamped in Early espresso ink – using the Everyday Greetings stamp set. I adhered this with dimensionals and added the remainder of the leaf die cut from the Friends For Life Dies. To enhance the gold, I attached three Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins in gold.

Stampin' Up! Sympathy card with Thoughtful Journey 6x6 DSP, inside

I die cut that same leaf pattern with the Friends for Life Dies and Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP. This was adhered to a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel. Another 1/4 x 5 1/4 strip of Mossy Meadow was added to the bottom – and the card was complete.

Stampin' Up! Sympathy card & envelope with Thoughtful Journey 6x6 DSP

For the envelope, another piece of the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped the leaf from Friends for Life stamp set first in full strength Mossy Meadow ink, then stamped again without re-inking. I think it might have looked better with the single leaf, but it was done. I’m hoping the recipient will find the card hopeful and peaceful and comforting.

Stampin’ Up! w/ Thoughtful Journey DSP & Emboss Resist

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

Good morning, good morning! It’s cool this AM – 57 – after a couple of days of 100% humidity and 87 temps. This feels much more refreshing :O) Thursday was my card class and we did a window z-fold card, similar to what I posted a week or so ago, which you see here. I’m hooked on this style card – just sayin’. I needed a couple of cards – thank you and another for a friend recovering from surgery – and here’s what I did.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey Window z-fold Thank You

I really like the colors of the thank you card with the Misty Moonlight card base than the other card. However, when making a card for a specific person, and the card on the right was, we follow what would be best for them. The card cuts and basic directions are the same for both cards. The main difference is the inside on the second card using the emboss resist technique. The Stitched Shapes Dies were used for the circles and the banner die cuts.

Stampin' Up! Window z-fold and emboss resist technique

I stamped the partial image of these flowers in VersaMark ink using the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set – re-inking and stamping across the bottom five times. I sprinkled white embossing powder over the image, heat embossed with the heat tool and let it cool for a bit. Once cool, I took a Blending Brush and Boho Blue ink and with swirling/ circling strokes went over the stamped images. Here’s a close-up.

I love this effect and it mimics the Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP. I stamped the sentiments in Fresh Freesia ink using the Unbounded Love stamp set.

Here’s the inside of the ‘thanks’ card.

On this card I stamped the partial image in Wild Wheat ink, mimicking the image on the front of this card. I used a Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight ink to add color over this.

Stampin' Up! Window z-fold thank you card & envelope

After stamping the image on the inside of the card and not really ‘sold’ on the image, I looked over my stamps and found another image I liked better to use on the envelope front. I stamped it in Whisper White ink then heat set it since it is a pigment ink and takes a bit to dry. I then used that same Blending Brush that I had used on the inside with Misty Moonlight ink and colored over the image. In person, the image is obvious – in the photo it is not. The stamp set used for that was the Charming Ducks stamp set.

Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP item 163303

Thoughtful Wishes stamp set, also on pg 47 – item 163305 HOWEVER… there are coordinating dies, and when purchased as a bundle during the month of June, it is 20% off – Thoughtful Wishes bundle item 163314

Stampin’ Up! Magnolia Mood Thinking of you

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

Good morning – and today is Memorial Day – a time of remembering those who gave their lives for our country, that we might have the freedoms we all share. Whatever you plan for today – honor & remember these individuals.

My card today uses the absolutely gorgeous Magnolia Mood bundle that can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood Bundle, card front

Basic Beige is the card base, a wonder neutral, and is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added a layer of Early Espresso 4 x 5 1/4, then a layer of Country Woods DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I die cut the very delicate image and additional leaves in Mossy Meadow card stock – from the Magnolia Mood Dies. Unfortunately, on this card, much of that is covered up, but it does show around the fringes of the hand-colored magnolia and seed pod.

Next, stamp the magnolia is Memento ink and color it with Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink for the magnolia and buds; Daffodil Deloight for the flower center; leaves are a mix of Light Mossy Meadow, Light Old Olive and Light Wild Wheat. The seed pod is Daffodil Delight with shading of Light Wild Wheat at it’s base. I put a squeeze of Wink of Stella on an acrylic block and brushed that on the main flower & buds, following the shading lines on the image. In other words, I did not cover the entire flower! I also used Wink of Stella in the same fashion on the seed pod. Once colored, die cut both the seed pod and the flower images.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood image w/ Wink of Stella

I tried to photograph the image to show how it glitters. It shows just a bit.

I played with all the parts before settling with the final layout above. The delicate mossy meadow die cut was adhered with liquid glue, the large hand-colored image with dimensionals; the seed pod was tucked under & added with dabs of liquid glue, as were the additional leaves. For the sentiment, I turned over a remaining piece of the Country Woods DSP used on the card front and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink. The sentiment comes from the Hope You Know stamp set, another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. It is die cut with a die from Wonderful Thoughts Dies. As a final touch, I added three Opal Rounds Assortment in Daffodil Delight.

On the inside of the card… a layer of Early Espresso 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to the card base, inside. The flower bud was stamped in Memento ink (Magnolia Mood stamp s et) on the Basic White panel 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I colored it similarly as the flowers on the card front: Stampin’ Blends – Light Petal Pink on the flower & bud, Light Mossy Meadow, Light Old Olive, Light Wild Wheat on the leaves. I added Wink of Stella to the flower & bud, same as the card front. This panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Magnolia Mood card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Country Woods DSP was adhered to the flap and trimmed tom fit. On the envelope front, same small flower from the Magnolia Mood stamp set, stampedn in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends as done on the inside of the card. I also added Wink of Stella to this flower & bud. TIP: remember when using Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, to slip another piece of scrap card stock inside so the blends do not bleed through to the envelope back!

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Here For You card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Today is Thursday – which means, it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today and I really like these color combinations. Perennial Lavender 12 x 12 DSP fits the bill perfectly!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here For you Card front

I started by determining the showy piece of Perennial Lavender DSP for the front of the card. I die cut the piece with a Deckled Rectangle Die. And yes, I could have used the Perennial Postage Dies instead – and you could easily make that change if you decided to CASE this card. I wanted a slightly less ‘edgy’ look and that’s why I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies. I backed the DSP with a Basic White panel. I used another piece of the Perennial Lavender DSP to die cut the floral image. I adhered it to the DSP panel with dimensionals that I trimmed down to size, then added a double Linen Thread bow and attached it with a glue dot. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Perennial Postage stamp set and stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink, cut it apart & fussy cut around the single word – setting the rest aside. I created a Gorgeous Grape card base and covered it with another Perennial Lavender DSP panel just slightly smaller in size. I attached the showy DSP panel to the card front with dimensionals, then added the sentiment with glue on the one end and a dimensional trimmed down to size on the overhanging end. I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems near the sentiment for a glitzy touch.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Here for you, card inside

For the inside of the card, I used the other floral die cut and adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White panel. I took the rest of the stamped sentiment from the card front & cut it apart, added it to a same pattern DSP as the large front panel, trimmed it to a unique shape and adhered it with liquid glue.

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions with Gold Foiled Flowers and Envelopes

Posted on January 19, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning – end of work week for some. We are getting snow here and schools are closed. It will be interesting to see how much snow we really get – predicted 3″-5″. It’s coming down rather steadily already :O)

My card today uses the Gold Foiled Flowers and Envelopes – so pretty! I couldn’t leave it alone though – it called for coloring.

Stampin' Up! Gold Foiled Flowers & Envelopes card front

I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends and had a good time: Flirty Flamingo, Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Orchid Oasis, Soft Sea Foam, Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive & SU 500. When using Stampin’ Blends, remember the color bleeds through to the other side. Often that is covered in some way, but here I left the ‘bleeding’ to show and it creates a rather fun pattern – it adds to the card.

Stampin' Up! Gold Foiled Flowers & Envelopes, inside

On the card front, I used the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and VersaMark ink to stamp the sentiment on Very Vanilla scrap, added Gold Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. I die cut this with a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies. I added a bit of ribbon from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack in Bubble Bath with Stampin’ Seal with the sentiment being added over top with dimensionals.. The final touch was three Iridescent Foil Gems.

Stampin' Up! Gold Foiled Flowers & Envelopes, inside w/ panel

For the inside… I stamped the sweet flower stamp from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Basic Gray ink on a Basic White panel, then colored it with Stampin’ Blends Light Granny Apple Green and Dark Daffodil Delight. This panel was added to the inside with liquid glue. The envelope was so lovely by itself I decided not to do any additional decorating.

Stampin' Up! Gold Foiled Flowers & Envelopes

The Gold Flowered Cards & Envelopes may be found on page 15 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog; the Iridescent Foil Gems on page 49 and Thoughtful Expressions Bundle page 62, part of the Poetic Expressions Suite – all same catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Reflection Stamp set

Posted on December 19, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! ‘Tis Tuesday Dec 19… we decorated our Christmas tree last night. It has become tradition to have a couple of family members come for dinner & tree ornament placement on the tree. Hubby got up Sunday morning at 4 AM and put all the lights on – 6-7 strands worth. It is thick with lights :O) Anyway – that isn’t why you’re here. Let’s check out this new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog…

I used Mossy Meadow as the card base, Basic White and Neutrals 6×6 DSP then stamped a Basic White panel for the top layer. The stamping used Gray Granite ink, which looks a bit soft brown & gray. It’s perfect for this ‘scene’ – it’s a woodsy shadow look that is quite peaceful. And it’s meant to be. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Reflection stamp set and it was stamped with Gray Granite ink, as I mentioned earlier. I adhered the Basic White strip to Gray Granite card stock, put dimensionals on that and attached it to the stamped panel. As a final step, I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots around the tree shadow.

For the inside of the card, the sentiment from Quiet Reflection is stamped in Gray Granite ink on the Basic White panel. I added a strip of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow to the bottom – and that was it. Love this font!!!

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it – kept very simple.

This stamp set may be found on page 63 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in receiving a catalog, please connect with me.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Bundle with Merry Bold & Bright DSP

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

Good Monday – ’tis already Dec 18! How are you doing with shopping? I’m nearly there but not quite :O) today’s the day to finish though. I had this Merry Bold & Bright DSP on my table and decided to use it – in kind of a different way. Really I’m just playing around. And I pulled out the Garden Meadow stamp set bundle. This is a fun bundle found in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I love the rain boots stamp & coordinating die! And I wanted to use the ‘every day is a fresh start’ sentiment. To me it indicates we can wipe the slate clean and begin again, or… pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start anew. Anyway, here’s my card.

I also pulled out the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle to create the sentiment banner. I stamped the hexagon outline with Melon Mambo ink on a Basic White scrap, punched it out with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the Garden Meadow stamp set. I stamped the boots in Memento ink as well, but on Merry Bold & Bright DSP, then die cut it with the appropriate die – both from the Garden Meadow bundle. Then I set about making the card base: Melon Mambo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I created layers with Flirty Flamingo and more Merry Bold & Bright DSP, trimming each on an angleI layered them together with liquid glue. I placed the boots on dimensionals and attached them. I stamped the sweet flowers in Memento ink using the sweet stamp in Garden Meadow stamp set. I colored the flowers with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. (I should have stamped this sweet stamp in Garden Green ink!) The two layers were attached to the card base with dimensionals, then the hexagon piece was attached also with dimensionals.

For the inside… another layer of Flirty Flamingo was added to the card base. The Basic White panel was stamped first with the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink, then the basket of flowers in Memento ink. Both come from the Garden Meadow stamp set. I colored the flowers & leaves with Stampin’ Blends: Light Poppy Parade, Light Daffodil Delight, Dark Flirty Flamingo and both Dark & Light Lemon Lime Twist.

For the envelope… more of the Merry Bold & Bright DSP on the flap and the same precious basked from the Garden Meadow stamp set stamped on the front in Memento ink – same coloring as the inside basket :O). This card is being sent to a friend who is undergoing chemo treatments and needs a ‘pick-me-up’. I’m hoping this card will help.

The Merry Bold & Bright DSP is in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and is being discontinued. You will find it on the LAST CHANCE PRODUCT list. Speaking of which…

Stampin’ Up! Watercoloring for the Happy Inkin’ Thursdsay Blog Hop

Posted on September 21, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to this weeks Blog Hop and a new color challenge! And this was a definite challenge for me. :O) These color combinations were different – and yet, went together.

Stampin' Up! Watercoloring w/ Autumn Leaves stamp set

I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper, wet it with my Water Painter, then began adding color: Wild Wheat, then Calypso Coral overlapping it somewhat, and Poppy Parade. I dropped water droplets with the Water Painter then heat set it with the Heat Tool. I pulled out the Autumn Leaves stamp set and one of the vein stamps and began stamping, turning the stamp to give an over-all pattern. Again, using the same ink colors and cleaning the stamp in between colors: Wild Wheat, Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade. Before adhering this panel to the Wild Wheat card base, I stamped along the one edge in Wild Wheat ink using a similar vein stamp in the Autumn Leaves stamp set. I then tore the edge of the Watercolor Paper and adhered it to the card base.

Using my scissors and the Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat, I cut strips to make the ribbon thinner and to give a morre rustic look. I add a length of Black Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack that I had also separated. I ‘looped’ a bow, attaching it with Stampin’ Seal. ‘Looping’ it means there is no bulky knot :O) I then used a length of Mossy Meadow card stock stamping it in VersaMark ink, sprinkling it with White Embossing Powder and heat set the sentiment with the Heat Tool. The sentiment comes from the Go To Greetings stamp set. I trimmed the one end and attached the banner over the bow with dimensionals.

For the inside… A panel of Mossy Meadow card stock was adhered to the card inside. On a Basic White panel I stamped these two leaves from Autumn Leaves stamp set: stamped off Wild Wheat then sponge daubered with Calypso Coral. The vein was stamped in Wild Wheat.

For the envelope… the very same vein stamp from Autumn Leaves stamp set for the envelope front, stamped off once in Wild Wheat ink.

The Autumn Leaves stamp set is a new favorite and can be found in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. You may shop with me in that catalog by clicking the photo and it will take you straight to it!

Stampin’ Up! All About Autumn Thinking of You

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

Good Saturday morning. It’s brisk here today at 54 degrees. Just say… lovin’ it! What good sleeping weather :O) My card today uses the awesome All About Autumn SDSP cut into strips to follow the scene. (Goodness! As I’m looking at this, I have the DSP in the wrong order and didn’t notice until just now!!)The sentiment comes from the Wonderful Words stamp set and Wonderful Words Dies. I wanted this card simple, to reflect the struggle of the moment the folks are going through – those who will receive this card. Copper Clay card stock was the perfect background paper on which to adhere the All About Autumn SDSP. Together, these were adhered to Early Espresso card base with dimensionals. As you can see, the sentiment is also on dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla. Embellishments were the Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots in Copper Clay.

For the inside… the sentiment is stamped using Quiet Moments stamp set and Early Espresso ink on a Very Vanilla panel. This was added to another Copper Clay piece and both adhered to the inside of the card.

For the Very Vanilla envelope, another sentiment from Quiet Moments stamp set stamped in Early Espresso ink. The flap got a reverse side of one of the wonderful All About Autumn SDSP trimmed to fit.
