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! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie

Posted on May 23, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Not long ago I had a card class and we made a card with the Cheerful Daisies bundle. The background for all the cards were from Glorious Gingham DSP. The card I shared with you was done on Blueberry Bushel and it really made the daisies pop. I had an extra left over, but this time in Pecan Pie, so I made that one up as well – and that’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie

Isn’t this pretty? I used the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends for two of the flower centers and an actual piece of Daffodil Delight card stock for the largest flower. You can see the Blends is slightly darker, so a nice contrast. Behind the leaves is Granny Apple Green card stock. The greeting comes from Go-to Greetings stamp set and was stamped in Pecan Pie on the Basic White strip. A little Linen bow was added for fun and Wild Wheat dots from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots pack. The vellum is from Vellum Basics and is a 2″ wide strip.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie, inside

For the inside of this card, I stamped this partial daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set in Bubble Bath, then the center in stamped off Daffodil Delight ink. I should have maybe stamped the flower in daisy Delight and the center in Pecan Pie – – – but I didn’t.

Stampin' Up! Cheerful Daisies on Pecan Pie, card & envelope

More of the Glorious Gingham on the envelope flap and the same stamped daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set on the envelope front: Bubble Bath ink for the petals and stamped off Daffodil Delight for the center. If you want to see the card on Blueberry Bushel -here’s a link to the Blueberry Bushel post. Love this bundle of Cheerful Daisies and the Glorious Gingham DSP together!

Stampin’ Up! Monochromatic w/ Wonderful Thoughts Bundle

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

Good Sunday morning! We have a beautiful cool day here in New Jersey – after a full day of LOTS of rain. We needed the rain, don’t get me wrong, but the sunshine is really nice :O) I created a card that is monochromatic today, and I would love your opinion on it.

I began with a Fresh Freesia card base and layered another panel on dimensionals that I had run through the Raindrops Embossing Folder. Next, I die cut five panels of Fresh Freesia using one of the dies in Wonderful Thoughts Dies. I used a sponge dauber to add a bit of Fresh Freesia to all sides of each die cut, then added them with dimensionals to the embossed panel. Next I die cut three of the flowers from Wonderful Thoughts Dies and colored them using Stampin’ Blends: both light & dark Fresh Freesia, Dark Granny Apple Green and both light & dark Daffodil Delight. I also used the Color Lifter in a couple of places on the flowers to add a bit more definition. These were added with liquid glue over the five panels. I then stamped the sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts stamp set in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap, die cut it with a die from Wonderful Thoughts Dies and adhered it with liquid glue. The last step for the card front was some Adhesive-Backed Sequins in white. I added these between the panels.

For the inside, the last of the three flowers was adhered to the bottom of this Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from Wonderful Thoughts in Memento ink, then added the panel with liquid glue and the card was done! I like the flowers on the Basic White panel and think I would like to make this card again with a Basic White card base, color the flowers similarly, etc. What do you think?

I’ve mentioned before that I’m having trouble with the html in this blog – so know my site is being worked on and in a week or so, that will be fixed! I’m very much looking forward to that…. Once it’s fixed, the html’s should be made available to past cards as well, at least, that’s what I THINK will happen :O)

You can still shop with me by visiting my store here. Items used: Wonderful Thoughts bundle, Fresh Freesia cardstock, Basic White card stock, Fresh Freesia ink, sponge dauber, Memento ink, Stampin’ Blends ~ Fresh Freesia, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Color Lifter; Raindrops Embossing Folder and Adhesive-Backed Sequins. The basics needed for creating this card: paper trimmer, cut & emboss machine, dimensionals, liquid adhesive.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle Thinking of You

Posted on December 6, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Tuesday! I’ve a fun card for you today that is pretty quick & easy – and we all like quick & easy, especially now. We had a Team Meeting Sunday afternoon and this card was demonstrated by Tara Carpenter. I’ve used different colors, but the idea is the same.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Thinking of You.1

I like that the colors are rather soft for the die cut. And I’m calling this particular die cut ‘mesh’ or ‘netting’, cuz that’s what I think of when I see it :O) – using the Chic Dies of course And I die cut it from Textured Chic 12 x 12 DSP. I set that aside and die cut a few of the outline flowers from the Chic Dies from 12 x 12 Foil Sheets – in Gold. Next I ran a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Very Vanilla card stock through the Timeworn Type 3D embossing Folder and began assembling. Thick Very Vanilla for the tent card base, layer of Mango Melody card stock, then the embossed panel. Just a few dabs of liquid glue to hold the ‘mesh’ to the embossed panel. Stamp the sentiment from Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink ink and die cut with the smallest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies and adhere with dimensionals. I again used dabs of liquid glue to attach the two outline floral dies to the sentiment banner. For a final touch, three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots in Rose Gold were added. And the card front was done!

Stampin'n Up! Season of Chic Thinking of you.inside

I kept the inside very simple – another of the floral outline die cuts from the Chic Dies was added to a panel of Very Vanilla card stock, and that was added to the inside of the card. Done. This card is going to a friend whose husband had a stroke recently, son lots of support needed for both of them!

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Thinking of you.3

See the Textured Chic 12 x 12 DSP on the envelope flap? That is the very same DSP I used to die cut the ‘mesh’ on the card front! Remember, Season of Chic and Chic Dies – a great bundle!!!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Posies Embossing Folder

Posted on September 30, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning, good morning. Thinking of all those who have been or are in the path of Hurricane Ian. My heart goes out to you and praying for your safety. It’s so very scary.

Today is the day prior to WCMD – WORLD CARD MAKING DAY – and it’s going to be fun! We invite you to join us during our Inkin’ Krew Facebook Live events during the day for some fun card sharing demonstrations AND some give- aways as well. More info is below but you can find the page right here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/inkinkrewworldcardmakingday2022 – click & ask to join 😁

Today’s card is another pretty simple but elegant card that could so easily have a different sentiment: birthday, anniversary… we could almost call this an ‘all occasion card’. :O)

Stampin' Up! Painted Posies EF & Framed Occasions.1

Gosh, the light isn’t so good on this… it’s difficult to see the embossing :O( This starts with a Thick Basic White A2 card base with the fold at the left. I then took a Basic White panel & ran it through the Painted Posies embossing folder and adhered it to a Basic Black piece. I wrapped this fun Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around and tied a knot. The sentiment was stamped in Polished Pink ink and comes from Framed Occasions stamp set. I die cut with a banner die from Hydrangea Dies. I put dimensionals on it & added it right over the ribbon. Solid Faceted Gems seemed to be the perfect addition for the sentiment banner. I added black dimensionals to the back of these panels and attached it to the card base.

Stampin' Up! Painted Posies & Framed Occasions.2

For the inside… another Basic White panel and stamped it in Polished Pink using this fun flower stem from Framed Occasions stamp set. It seems so similar to the long flower stem in the embossed front – like a perfect match. This is adhered to a Basic Black and then added to the inside of the card – and done.

Stampin' Up! Pretty Posies EF and Framed Occasions.3

For the envelope, a bit of black & white from the Perfectly Penciled DSP. On the front I stamped the same flower from Framed Occasions twice, re-inking in between, then stamped final time without re-inking. It creates some depth and makes it appear as though in the background. And yes, this was Polished Pink ink.

This Painted Posies embossing folder is in the Annual 2022-2023 Catalog – as are the Hydrangea Dies AND the Framed Occasions stamp set & Gingham Ribbon. The entire list of supplies is below. When ordering, please also use my current host code: KJ3MEDQ9 and remember I offer Star-Studded Rewards.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Daisy Garden Thinking of You.1

You can clearly see the challenge & my creation right next to each other. That works, right? This card is already designated for a friend of mine who underwent surgery today. It begins with a Daffodil Delight A2 card base with the fold at top. The next layer is Basic White just a smidge smaller, run through the Stitched Greenery Die. LOVE this die & I use it lots… The next step was to use the Daisy Garden stamp in my Stamparatus. This allows me to re-ink as needed with the stamp stamping in the same place :O) After stamping, I used the Daffodil Delight Blends to color the flowers: dark near the center of the flower and the light blend for the rest of the flower. I wanted the focus to be only on these and I think that worked well. I adhered this to a Basic Black panel, put dimensionals on the back (and yes, I used the Black Dimensionals 😁) and added it to the card front. The sentiment comes from Framed Occasions stamp set stamped with Memento ink on a Basic White scrap. I die cut it with a banner die from Harvest Dies. I wanted a bit of background for the sentiment so used the same banner die from Harvest Dies to create a Basic Black piece. These were adhered together and added to the card front with more dimensionals. Finally, the Brushed Brass Butterflies were a perfect addition to the card.

For the inside… I used Stepping Stones stamp set and Memento Ink to stamp the sentiment. This is a great set and has some wonderful quoted sentiments. And yes- stamped on a Basic White panel. At the bottom of this I stamped a bit more of the Daisy Garden stamp and colored it with Daffodil Delight Blends. I adhered this to a Basic Black piece, then into the Daffodil Delight card base. And the card was done.

Stampin’ Up! Perfectly Penciled for the Happy Inkin’ ay Blog Hop!

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

Welcome to our blog hop! Love these hops – so much creativity with a different theme for each week. You may have come from the talented Tara or simply jumped in. Enjoy either way 😀

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

So you see the extra color, right? It’s the colored flowers in Cherry Cobbler Blends and the small Red Adhesive-Backed Pearls. I’ve used this layout before and really like it, but this is more modern than what I usually do. The DSP is Perfectly Penciled DSP which is all black & white papers. The background is a dry embossed Basic White panel using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and adhered to a slightly larger piece of Basic Black. That is attached to a Thick Basic White A2 card base.

The inside is super simple but I love the flair of this font. It comes from the Go To Greetings stamp set, stamped in Memento Black ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered this directly to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, more of the same Perfectly Penciled DSP adhered to the flap and no stamping on the front. Again, the card has a modern look to it – simplicity follows that. Now – follow the hop by clicking on the ‘next’ button or clicking on a name. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the hop!

This stamp set – Go To Greetings is in the Annual 2022-2023 Catalog – as is the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder AND the Perfectly Penciled DSP. Gosh, I just realized the very sweet pearls were in the Sale-a-bration catalog and are now retired :O( The entire list of supplies is below.

Stampin’ UP! Seasons of Chic Leaves

Posted on July 15, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Except for yesterdays Blog Hop in which I participated, I have focused on the Seasons of Chic Bundle for my cards this week. I am enamored with the versatility of this stamp set & dies. Today’s card is no exception. And I’ve certainly let you know how I gravitate toward monochromatic cards.

The card base is thick Basic White. The next two layers are Shimmery White Paper. It’s a cross between Basic White and Very Vanilla, just not so creamy as the VV. Here’s what I did…

Die cut the front panel of Shimmery White card stock with Stitched Rectangles Dies. I used the smallest of the large set of dies.
Use Foam adhesive strips to line the rectangle and portions of the card to layer on another panel of Shimmery White card stock. SEE PHOTO.

Remove backing on strips and adhere to the slightly larger Shimmery White Paper.
Stamp the two-step leaf from Seasons of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink ink and Sahara Sand ink (both second generations), then die cut with the Chic Dies. It’s nearly impossible to see in this photo, but the vein stamp is in Sahara Sand ink, the other leaf stamp was stamped first in second generation Petal Pink ink.
Die cut two more leaves in Shimmery White.Layer the three leaves together adhering with liquid glue along the stems.
Tie a bow with strands of Linen Thread & Simply Elegant Trim in Gold, together and around the stems. Add a touch of liquid glue to the knot so it stays in place.
Put dimensionals on the stamped leaf and adhere to the die cut frame cutout.
Add three Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels too the card.
Adhere the two Shimmery White Paper panels to the Thick Basic White card base.

For the inside… Stamp the sentiment in Sahara Sand ink from the Seasons of Chic stamp set. Add two more of the die cut leaves (these are smaller & different from those on front, but die cut from Shimmery White Paper) to the Basic White panel. Adhere panel to the inside of the card. DONE!

For the envelope, I stamped this stunning leaf (w/ veins) to the front and on the flap ~ second generation Sahara Sand ink. Oh boy… I really, really like this card! What can I say… this Season of Chic Bundle is a MUST HAVE!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Posies

Posted on July 5, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy day after the 4th! I hope you had a fun day and stayed safe while doing it :O) My card today is a focus on the Painted Posies Embossing Folder. And trust me when I say – this embossing folder does all the work for you. It’s gorgeous! And silly me wasn’t going to get it. As I said, silly me. 🥴

After embossing e Basic White panel with the Painted Posies embossing folder, I adhered it to an piece of Soft Succulent just slightly larger. I put dimensionals on the back and added it to the Evening Evergreen card base. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink on a Basic White strip – the sentiment comes from the Go To Greetings stamp set.I adhered this to a strip of Soft Succulent, put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card front. The last step was to add three Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins in white – and the card front was done!

I had trimmed the embossed front panel and saved the trimmed piece to add to the Basic White panel for the inside of the card. This was was adhered to Soft Succulent and then to the card inside. Again… done!

For the envelope, I embossed a piece of Basic White and added it to the flap with liquid glue. And that was it. Quick. Easy. And gorgeous.

Stampin’ Up! Wonderful World Take 2

Posted on July 4, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy 4th folks! Lots to be thankful for in this country of ours. Yes, there is room for improvement, but I’m proud of the freedoms we have and wish others could have more of it. Revel in our county’s glory, just be safe about it! OK?

Today’s card is another sharing of the Wonderful World Bundle – FREE during Sale-a-bration with a $100 purchase from any SU! catalog.

The Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch is perfect for these images on the Wonderful World 12 x 12 DSP, so I did just that & punched out three floral images. I mounted them on Pear Pizzazz card stock to bring out that soft green on the stems & leaves. Next I pulled out some Garden Green card stock… notice how the stems & leaves have a darker edging? I added 3/4″ Frayed ribbon in white then the framed floral images on dimensionals. For the card base… Thick Basic White in a standard A2 size. I covered it with a Basic White panel run through the Stitched Greenery die. I love this die and use it fairly often for background texture. Before attaching the Garden Green panel, I stamped the sentiment from Soft Seedlings stamp set in Garden Green ink – love this font! The final touch for the card front was attaching the Adhesive-Backed Sequins & Gems in Fresh Freesia. They bring out the iris for me :O)

On a Basic White panel, I stamped the iris in Rich Razzleberry ink – it follows the iris from the front of the card! This piece was adhered to a Pear Pizzazz base then to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, more iris from the Wonderful World stamp set in Rich Razzleberry – both on the front and the flap. The distinctive stamps in this set are really quite wonderful – love, love. And you can get this bundle (DSP + stamp set) when you purchase $100 of SU! product – you kn ow, from me :O) And… I’ve begun this rewards program and doubled the rewards through July 7th. So don’t wait, don’t hesitate – shop now :O)
