Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 10, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello – and WELCOME to the Happy In kin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today & I’ve maybe stretched the parameters just a bit, but I like the card and think it works.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals, Mixed Labels & Mixed Florals

I’ve used some ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products for this card – primarily the Mixed Media Florals DSP, the Mixed Labels Bundle and the Mixed Florals Bundle. I LOVE this DSP for the background. It reminds me a bit of a jungle and it was adhered directly to the Garden Green card base. The multiple die cut leaves are in Garden Green, Shaded Spruce and Shy Shamrock & I used the Mixed Florals Dies to create them. I simply adhered them with dabs of liquid glue but could very easily have used Adhesive Sheets as a backing, I just didn’t. The next step was to stamp the sentime on a Basic White scrap in Garden Green ink using the Mixed Labels stamp set. I die this and the rectangular piece using the Mixed Labels Dies. I adhered the fence-like piece to the back of the sentiment label then added dimensionals to the sentiment & attached it to the card. Viola!

For the inside… I stamped this beautiful floral image in Memento ink on the Basic White panel then colored it with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. Done!

Stampin' Up! Mixed Media Florals card & envelope front

For the envelope… I added more of the Mixed Media Florals DSP to the flap (after messing up the stamp image of the leaf!), trimmed the paper to fit. Since the mess-up of the stamped image on the flap, I decided to add some ink ‘edging’ to the remaining leaves, making them look like the leaves on the DSP :O) I added some extra ‘doodles’ for fun – all this with a SU! Journaling Pen. For the envelope front, I stamped the image of the leaves (just fine) with Shy Shamrock ink & used a Blends in Shy Shamrock to add some extra color depth. I also stamped the same sweet image as on the inside of the card in Memento ink & colored the flowers with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. Finis…

This is such pretty DSP and the coordinating bundles are so perfect to layer or use individually. I encourage you to visit my ONLINE EXCLUSIVE store – see info below.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery Suite for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

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

Welcome to ‘the hop’! We have a great lineup of folks participating so be sure you visit each post. The theme for this month’s hop is “for the ladies/ girls” and we can interpret that any way that suits. Mother’s Day cards are difficult for me as my mother is gone and well, it just feels weird. April 8 is actually her birthday, so this works for me. Having said that, my card IS a Mother’s Day card and I will send it to our daughter who has three not so little ones (the oldest is 6’5″, the next is maybe 5’11” and the third is about 5’3″).

My card features products from the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. If you haven’t received yours from me yet, be patient… sometimes the mail takes a bit :O( Look for the Beautiful Gallery Suite of products that are showcased on pages 52-57. They are a really fun suite of products: frame dies, floral & leaf dies, stamps & more stamps, an embossing folder, a wonderful set of embellishments, ribbon, DSP – it’s quite grand! I’m also showcasing some of the new 2025-2027 In Colors: Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Team blog Hop

Stampin' Yp! Beautiful Gallery Suite Mother's Day card front

I’m loving this rose stamp & die from the Gallery Blooms bundle in this suite! And the Damask Designs embossing folder is evident on the ‘frame’ of this image. The ‘frame is also from the Gallery Blooms bundle. And the sweet background floral die cut is from the Beautiful Motifs Dies in the suite. The ribbon on this card is NOT part of this suite – it IS part of the Botanical Textured Suite of products that are ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Lastly – the embellishments – gorgeous – are part of the Beautiful Gallery Suite and are called Pressed Flower Motifs. Let’s see, what did I leave out – oh, the DSP… is Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP and from the Beautiful Gallery Suite.

So, how to make this card… The card base is Secret Sea cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4. I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel with the Damask Designs embossing folder; then die cut with the Gallery Blooms Dies that are the frames. This die is so cool – it die cuts two frames at the same time and creates a center panel as well. I used the larger of the frames for this card. I adhered the frame to the desired Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP, then trimmed the DSP even with the frame. I stamped the rose image in the new Secret Sea ink – it’s a deep blue black – on a piece of Basic White. I used Stampin’ Blends in Gray Granit &, Smoky Slate to color the roses and Dark Sea Foam to color the leaves. I die cut with the coordinating die in Gallery Blooms Dies. I then die cut from Basic White, the flower used in the background – which came from the Beautiful Motifs Dies. I placed both floral dies without adhering them so I would know where to stamp my sentiment. The sentiment is from Stippled Roses stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea ink. I then added the two dies to the card, adhering the white die cut with dabs of liquid glue and the roses with dimensionals. I wanted a ribbon, so pulled out the 1/4″ Basic White Ribbon from the Botanical Textured Suite (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and adhered that with a glue dot. I added three of these gorgeous Pressed Flower Motifs around the sentiment. The card needed some sparkle – Wink Of Stella to the rescue on all the roses! I didn’t cover them completely but that Wink of Stella did the trick I was looking for.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery Suite card inside

For the inside – I stamped another sweet rose stamp from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea ink in each corner. I decided not to color the roses – let the card front be all the glory.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery card & envelope

For the envelope, I covered the flap in the remaining piece of the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP & trimmed to fit. I used the same image as the inside of the card & Secret Sea ink to stamp on the flap & on the envelope front. Love, love. This suite of products will be available to you, the customer, on May 6, 2025, less than a month away!

Stampin’ Up! Grow with Love Card

Posted on April 5, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Online Exclusives are just that – items not in any of the Stampin’ Up! Catalogs. This Grow with Love bundle is perfect for cards for no specific reason. I like sending cards just for fun and it makes the receiver feel special.

The card base is a standard A2 size in Shaded Spruce. I layered an embossed Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. The embossing folder is another ONLINE EXCLUSIVE called Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder. It has lots of texture. The next layer is Shaded Spruce 2 3/8 x 4 3/8 with Regals 6×6 cut 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 adhered directly to the card front. The center Basic White panel is 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 stamped in Shaded Spruce ink with another of the stamps in Grow With Love, then die cut with the appropriate Grow With Love Dies. I really like the corner edges! Again, this was adhered directly to the card front, centering. The mint leaves were stamped again and die cut and attached with dimensionals over the stamped image. I tied a double Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot. Lastly, Adhesive-Backed Dots were added for contrast.

For the inside… another stamp in the Grow with Love is Thyme – and it’s stamped here in Shaded Spruce on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel.

Stampin' Up! Grow With Love card & envelope

The envelope… more of the Regals 6×6 DSP in Shaded Spruce added to the flap & trimmed to fit (2 1/4 x 6) and on the front another image – this time it’s Rosemary :O). I messed up when stamping the image so did it again on a scrap, die cut it and adhered with liquid glue. When die cutting the image, it cuts off the name of the plant, so I fussy cut that with my paper snips and added it.

Fun, easy card, could be masculine if one is needed. It shows appreciation and care for another human being – which the world always needs.

You may this Grow With Love bundle in my store – look around at all the possibilities, kits, last chance products and more . When shopping with me and your purchase is $50 or more, you will receive a SU! item valued up to $10 and the current months fabulous tutorial – for April, it’s Memorable Blooms.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Beauty DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 3, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Welcome to our Thursday hop and today we have a color challenge. I’ve used items in the Unbounded Beauty Suite to create this birthday card.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Suite Birthday card front

Items in this suite are on the LAST CHANCE LIST. If you want any of the items, get them now before they are gone forever. See below how to shop in my store. How to make this card…

The card base is Berry Burst card stock cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. A layer of the Unbounded Beauty DSP (4 x 5 1/4) was adhered directly to the card front. Another piece of the Unbounded Beauty DSP 3 1/8 x 4 3/8 was adhered to another Berry Burst piece 3 1/4 x 4 1/2, then added to the card front with dimensionals. I used the Unbounded Love Dies and a piece of the 24-26 In Color Shimmer Paper in Shy Shamrock (2 1/2 x 3 3/4). I used Seal+ to adhere to the card front. I stamped the sentiment using the Flowers of Beauty stamp set & Berry Burst ink on a Basic White 1 3/4 x 2 1/2. I die cut this with Unbounded Love Dies. I attached this with dimensionals on the left side and double layer of dimensionals on the right since it hangs over the layers. Finally, three 24-26 In Color Resin Dots in Petunia Pop were added to the sentiment panel.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Suite birthday card inside

The inside… another piece of the Unbounded Beauty DSP 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to the inside of the card base. On the 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Basic White I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink using the Unbounded Love stamp set. I then used the Alphabet Dies to die cut the number 90 from the same 24-26 In Color Shimmer Paper in Shy Shamrock.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Suite Birthday card & envelope

The envelope… the same Unbounded Beauty DSP used on the front of the card was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit (2 1/4 x 6). On the front, this sweet single flower was stamped in Berry Burst ink using the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. The filler stamp for the flower was stamped off once in Berry burst ink.

Stampin’ Up! Friend Card with Wildly Flowering DSP

Posted on March 31, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday! It’s turned cold again after a very beautiful day of 81 degrees – ah, that’s Spring. That 81 degrees made the hostas pop up, helebores are in full bloom (they love the cool!), daffodils & crocus are blooming as well. I really enjoy this time of year.

My card today is for a friend who isn’t feeling all that great, I’ve combined the Friends For Life Dies and the Wanted To Say Dies to create my messages – and the last of my Wildly Flowering 12×12 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Wildly Flowering Friend card front

To make this card I began with my card base: Moody Mauve cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. I layered a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 that I ran through a brand new Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder, a new favorite. This piece was adhered directly to the card base. Next I cut a piece of the Wildly Flowering DSP 4 x 3, that coordinates with the strips of another piece of the Wildly Flowering DSP. This was cut 3 1/2 x 3 1/2, then into strips 1/2, 3/4, 1 & 1 1/4. I spaced then evenly along the 4 x 3 panel & adhered with Stampin’ Seal. I took a scrap of the Wildly Flowering DSP 4 x 2 1/2 & die cut the background for the word ‘friend’ from the Friends For Life Dies. Next I took a piece of Basic White 4 x 2 5/8 and covered the back with Adhesive Sheets. I then die cut the word ‘friend’ from that, removed the backing of the Adhesive Sheet and attached it to the DSP background die cut. I put this on dimensionals and adhered it over the DSP strips, added dimensionals to the 4 x 3 DSP panel and attached to the card front. As a final touch, I added five (5) Adhesive-Backed Textural Dots and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Wildly Flowering Friend card inside

For the inside, I took another piece of the Wildly Flowering DSP in Moody Mauve, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2, attached aAdhesive Sheet to that & die cut the sentiment from the Wanted To Say Dies. I attached this to the center of a Basic White piece 4 x 5 1/4. I then used a Blending Brush & Moody Masuve ink to add some color to the edges of this Basic White panel, then attached it to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Wildly Flowering Friend Card & envelope

For the envelope, more Wildly Flowering DSP, 2 1/4 x 6, attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. A simple flower from the Wildflower Designs stamp set was stamped in Moody Mauve ink on the envelope front. Done, ready to send in hopes my friend will ‘feel better soon’!

The 2024-2025 Annual Catalog is quickly coming to an end – and the 2025-2026 catalog will be released soon. I believe this Wildly Flowering DSP is on the Last Chance List. Tomorrow, the list will be updated with all the retiring items and I’ll include it in my post. If there is something you want, get it quickly as once it is gone, it will not be replaced.

Stampin’ Up! You are Remarkable Friend Card

Posted on March 30, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Stampin' Up! You Are Remarkable Fieind card front

It is amazing what one finds when tidying their desk! That would be me :O) What I found is this pretty piece of watercolor paper and I decided not to set it aside any longer. I stamped this gorgeous image of the flower from the You Are Remarkable stamp set – in Secret Sea ink – one of the new In Colors available May 6. This is a two step stamp, so the flowers have a ‘filler’ stamp and I used Melon Mambo ink for that; again the leaves have a ‘filler’ stamp and I used Granny Apple Green; and finally, the center is a stamp that is Crushed Curry ink. I stamped the sentiment, also from the You Are Remarkable stamp set, in Secret Sea ink. I adhered this panel to Melon Mambo card stock, giving it a small border, put dimensionals on that and adhered to a 4 x 5 1/4 Secret Sea panel die cut with the largest Textures Notes Dies. This was adhered directly to the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 card front, scored at 4 1/4 of course. Two steps more for the card front – Wink of Stella on the flower – petals & center and three Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels scattered in a bit of triangle.

Stampin' Up! You Are Remarkable Friend card inside

For the inside… I used the second largest die from Textured Notes Dies – again available May 6 – and Basic White card stock, to die cut the inside panel. I then stamped the very cute bee buzzing in Secret Sea ink.

Stampin' Up! You Are Remarkable card & envelope

The envelope… Another sweet buzzing bee stamped in Secret Sea ink in the front and another of the same flower stamped on the flap, just a portion of it though – with same coloring as the card front. Silly me did not photograph that! :O(

The stamp set, Secret Sea ink and dies will all be available May 6. The other products are in the annual catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Turtle-Y Awesome Birthday card for the Happy Inkin Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 27, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our fun weekly hop. We have a sketch challenge today that stumped me for a bit. I hope you find it still fits the sketch as it’s a bit ‘outside the box’.

Stampin' Up! Turtle-Y Awesome Birthday card front

This is a brand newy suite of products that I used on this card… the Turtle-Y Awesome Suite: DSP, stamp set/ dies, embellishments & ribbon. I did not use the dies for this project – I fussy cut the turtles, and I did not use the ribbon. This is a cute set – very different than we’ve had in the past. I don’t see this as a totally kids kind of suite of products. It’s light and fun – at least, that’s the way I look at it!

So the circles are die cut using the Stitched Shapes Dies, second from largest for the bottom circle; 3rd from largest for the next circle and then one more. Honestly I forget where it fits in. I die cut circles from the Turtle-Y Awesome 12 x 12 DSP specifically cuz this card is for a retired piano teacher and there are music notes all over this sheet- and she was fun! And this card, to me, is fun Because the circles were die cut from DSP which is not as strong as cardstock, I layered each on a die cut Basic White circle and adhered them together for strength. The bottom one and middle circles are on dimensionals. The smallest is adhered directly to the card. The turtles, as I mentioned, were fussy cut with my paper snips from the Turtle-Y Awesome DSP and attached with liquid glue. Additional dimensionals were added under the balloon & the chefs cap. The birthday package is die cut from Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade using the Wanted To Say Dies. I found this gold banner in the Wildflower Birthday SDSP, wrote the recipients name with a fine tip marker and attached it with glue dots. The last touch was the Shades of Green Hexagons from this Turtle-Y Awesome Suite. All these will become available May 6 as part of the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Now that I look at this card – some Wink of Stella is called for: balloon, icing on the cake and the bow!

Stampin' Up! Turtle-Y Awesome birthday card inside

For the inside… I pulled out two sets of dies for the inside: the Wanted to Say Dies for the Happy birthday sentiment and background, and the Alphabet A La Mode Dies for the #90. I used adhesive sheets on the back of the DSP for the numbers as well as for the Happy Birthday. It made attaching those to the inside of the card so easy! The numbers were die cut from the Turtle-Y Awesome 12×12 DSP. The background of the happy birthday was die cut from the same DSP. The words themselves were from Petal Pink card stock.

Stampin' Up! Turtle-Y Awesome Birthday card and envelope

For the envelope… more of the Turtle-Y Awesome DSP (do you notice the music notes on the paper?) attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the card front I used Garden Green ink for the sentiment, pulled from the Turtle-Y Awesome stamp set and memento ink for the music notes, also from the Turtle-Y Awesome stamp set. Card cuts are listed at the bottom of this post.

Stampin’ Up! Wildly Flowering DSP Happy Card

Posted on March 24, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday – and a new week begins… and I’m feeling better, not great, but better. It’s amazing how a cold can wear a person down. But I have a pretty card today to cheer us. It’s made with Wildly Flowering 12×12 DSP with the Moody Mauve papers – and it’s a bit of a fun fold also.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card front

This Designer Series Paper is so pretty and it uses the In Colors from 2023-2025, which means it will be retiring when the new 2025-2026 Annual catalog goes live May 6. And I want to use it!

The original directions for this card call for two Designer Series panels 3 1/2 x 5 1/4, which is what I did. BUT I prefer the panels be 5 1/2 so it stands evenly. Next time… to continue… adhere the panels to the card base 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored at 1 & 5 1/4 on the long side. Here I used Moody Mauve card stock. Cut two pieces of Moody Mauve 7/8 x 5 1/4 (or 5 1/2 if revising the DSP panels) and emboss. Here I used the Dashing Designs embossing folder, which is part of the suite.. Adhere these panels on the ends covering where the DSP is attached to the card base.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card, semi closed

I stamped the sentiment using moody Mauve ink and the Wildflower Designs stamp set onto a Basic White piece and die cut it with a Tailor Tags die that I extended. I popped this up on dimensionals and attached a bow with a glue dot using the Frayed Grosgrain ribbon from the Iconic Suite (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE). The final touch was three Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots.

For the inside… I cut a Basic White panel slightly smaller – 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to be sure it did not show when either end of the card was closed. I stamped the image in Memento ink using the Wildflower Designs stamp set, and colored it with Stampin’ Blends, Misty Moonlight & Old Olive. It was added to the inside and the card was complete. Make note of how the opposite side of the DSP shows when the card is open – I love that!

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Designs card inside

For the envelope, more of the same Wildly Flowering DSP on the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit, and another stamp on the front (same as inside the card) colored with Moody Mauve Marker and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. This suite of products may be found on pages 40-41 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

What’s nice about this layout is that it works for so many of Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers, showing off both sides.

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek of Beautiful Motifs Bundle in a Sympathy Card

Posted on March 22, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday morning. I’v e been under the weather this week – got a full blown head cold, lost my voice, all those things. Ugh… I’m beginning to feel better and hoping to be able to play in my craft room. Today’s card is a sympathy card made with products that as demonstrators we can order early before they become available to the general population. It helps build excitement and give you, the customer a chance to see new products. These will become available May 6 as ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs card front

This is stunningly beautiful DSP that is called Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP. This photo doesn’t show the colors very well (hmmm) but they are Mossy Meadow & other similar shades of green, Basic White, Basic Beige.

I’ve cut the DSP 3 3/4 x 5 and layered it on Mossy Meadow 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. I wrapped a 3/8″ Classic Ribbon in Basic Beige around this, securing it in back with Tear n’ Tape. I took another length and tied a half knot around the ribbon and secured it in place with a glue dot. I die cut this fabulous flower in Basic White using the Beautiful Motifs Dies and slipped it under the ribbon and secured it in place with dots of liquid glue. It’s quite delicate and next time I’ll use Adhesive Sheets adhered to the card stock prior to die cutting. :O) The sentiment also comes from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. I adhered this in place with dimensionals. I took another piece of Basic White 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and ran it through a new embossing folder (part of this fantastic suite!) called the Damask Designs embossing folder and adhered it to the Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. The entire card front was attached to the card base over the embossed front, with dimensionals. As a final touch I added three Pressed Flower Motif embellishments.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Motifs card inside

For the inside… I was playing with the gorgeous dies in this set and this leaf die fascinated me. It die cuts edges but not the entire piece, so sections can be raised. Really cool! It would be a fabulous card front – but that’s for another day… Anyway – this Mossy Meadow panel is 2 x 5 1/4 and adhered to a 4 x 51/4 Basic White and added to the inside of the card.
