Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 4, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Yay! It’s Thursday and time for our blog hop – with a color challenge this time.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet Bundle color challenge — Lovely & Sweet Bundle

The Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP is just a stunning set of Designer Series Papers – and yes, it follows our color challenge for today. I used a Thick Basic White card base with a layer of Nature’s Sweetness SDSP adhered directly to it. From another panel of this paper, I die cut several images using the Lovely & Sweet Dies – they match perfectly! I also fussy cut a few images from another panel of the same Nature’s Sweetness SDSP. I then used the largest circle of the Stitched Shapes Dies to create a circle for the images & sentiment. The circle was adhered with dimensionals; leaf layers were adhered with liquid glue behind the circle. The lily spray was also attached with dimensionals and the gold leaves with iquid glue. I then used the embossing buddy from the heat tool kit to remove any static from the Pebbled Path strip, stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink (yep – Lovely & Sweet stamp set!), sprikled it with gold embossing powder and heat set it with the heat tool. I bannered the one end with my paper snips then added it to the card from with dimensionals I added three Adhesived-Backed Cork Rounds to complete the card front.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet inside card — Lovely & Sweet stamp set

For the inside of the card on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, I stamped the cross-hatch image in second generation (stamped off once) Pebbled Path ink. I then stamped the sentiment in full strength Pebbled Path ink. At the base of the panel I added a thin strip of one of the Nature’s Sweetness DSP – and the card was complete.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Sweet card & envelope

For the envelope, I simply adhered another coordinating piece of the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper to the flap. The card is then ready for mailing to a friend who lost her hubby last week.

I created another card with this same color challenge – totally different – using a set of products moving to the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES: Gone Fishing stamp set & coordinating dies. This is a perfect set for those outdoor folks. I combined the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper, Thoughtful Expressions Dies and Faux Leather Trim w/ gold flecks.

Stampin' Up! Gone Fishing stamp set & dies card front — Gone Fishing Bundle

Stampin' Up! Gone Fishing card & envelope

Here I again used the Let’s Go Fishing DSP on the Thick Very Vanilla card stock (retiring end of April!) to show off the papoer and create a contrasting background to the rest of the card. I stamped the sentiments and lure images in Pecan Pie ink on Very Vanilla card stock (the regular weight card stock in VV is NOT retiring). I stamped the larger round image in Pebbled Path. ink. I die cut the stamped sentiment with a die from Thoughtful Expressions Dies and another just slightly larger from the Let’s Go Fishing DSP. These two were adhered together. I cut a length of the Faux Leather Trim with gold flecks and tied knots at either end, adhering it in place with a couple of glue dots. I added dimensionals to the two adhered together pieces and attached them over the trim. I used my Take Your Pick Tool to poke a hole in each of the stamped lures and threaded them through with Linen Thread, tieing a knot at the end. I added dimensionals to each of the images and adhered them in place slipping it over the trim. The round image I was able to slip another length of the Faux Leather Trim through the hole, add dimensionals to the back and attach to the card front as well. I added a glue dot that I folded over to adhere that trim in place :O)

For the inside I stamped the sentiment from Gone Fishing stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/4. I adhered a wide strip of the Let’s Go Fishing DSP to the bottom of the card and them more to the envelope flap. The Gone Fishing Bundle is still available through the end of April – so get this versatile, fun set before it is no longer a bundle (10% off as a bundle). You may purchase that and the Lovely & Sweet Bundle – Shop with me here for products available in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. See more info below for purchasing products in my shop!

Shop ONLINE EXCLUSIVES with me here

ONLINE EXCLUSIVES are those items not listed in a catalog, only online. Products change, new items are introduced on a fairly regular basis. Some items move from the Mini Catalog or the 2023-2024 Annual catalog to the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES (at the end of April 2024). It’s best to check this section regularly to see what’s introduced.

I LIKE THE NEW LOOK and what are on the inside pages. Stay tuned! Catalogs to my customers should arrive in my mailbox in the next day or so & I will be sending them on to my customers with a quick turn-around. With the catalog will be a letter of explanation about the catalog, how it’s different, where to look for certain things, like that. I think it will help my customers understand the changes. I will also be offering Designer Series Paper Shares (which I will also post separately in another blog). There will be other goodies with my letter & DSP Share list. Look for those items soon!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Wishes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 28, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday – and you know what that means – another blog hop by the fabulous Happy Inkin’ group! We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen a new product – Thoughtful Wishes stamp set (part of a bundle & suite of products available May 1) AND a couple of cards created with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards + Card & Envelopes (from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini catalog.)

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes card front

This card uses the beautiful Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP (available May 1 in the NEW 2024-2025 Annual Catalog) The sentiment is from the coordinating Thoughtful Wishes stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. Notice that new in-color behind the scened DSP? That Petunia Pop! The ribbon is from a two pack that is a White diagonal stripe. The card base is Mossy Meadow with an overlay of Garden Green cut just slightly smaller. The embellishments are Brushed Brass Butterflies that are carrying over as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product.

For the inside of the card I stamped the very same image as I stamped on the envelope and forgot to take a photo… so imagine it on a Basic White panel and stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. :O) Ugh!

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes card & envelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful floral image all across the bottom of the envelope front in Mossy Meadow ink.

I mentioned that I had done some Sweet Memories & More Cards using this same sketch challenge.

These cards use 3×4 cards & stickers from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card pack plus a couple other supplies: Delightfully Eclectic DSP as a background on the 1st card + Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds; #2 card in this section uses the Zinnias 3D EF (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) as a background for the sentiment on the front and a single Paper Butterfly Accent, a carry-over product; card 3 additional product is the Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog (retiring end of April). These were each such fun to create using the very same sketch challenge for today. And since they were a gift from my upline Mary Deatherage and her upline Amy Koenders – well, I just HAD to show them off!

Stampin’ Up! NEW Thoughtful Wishes Sneak Peek

Posted on March 25, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! It’s Monday and another week begins. Hope you have plans to craft a day or two this week. My card today is super simple – not so many layers. It’s made with a new stamp set bundle called Thoughtful Wishes.

I began by stamping this leaf ‘stalk’ from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White piece. I colored in the leaves with Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends then die cut it with the appropriate Thoughtful wishes Dies. I pulled out an acrylic block and covered it with Peach Pie ink (NEW IN COLOR & GORGEOUS) with the brush tip of my Stampin’ Blends. I spritzed it with alcohol to give it a watery look and stamped it on a larger piece of Basic White. It takes a minute to dry completely so I used half dimensionals to put on the back of my leaf stalk and adhered it on top of the stamped image. It gave it a great background! I then chose a sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and stamped it in Mossy Meadow ink. For embellishments, I pulled out the Blooming Pearls and added three. This panel was secured to a Peach Pie card base and the front was finished. As I said, very, very simple.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful wishes card inside

For the inside… I stamped this very sweet image from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set all across the bottom of the Basic White panel. This was adhered to the inside of the card.

For the envelope I wanted to keep this simple too, so I stamped just a portion of the same leaf stalk from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink.

Now, let me tell you, this stamp set is part of a suite of products: Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and another package of SDSP in 12 x 12 – just stunning watercolor images on the 6×6 and more elegant papers in the 12×12 SDSP. I’ll be playing with these products this week, so look for more from this suite of products.

These products (and more!) are available to demonstrators prior to the new 2024-2025 Annual catalog release to share images & projects with our customers & friends to get them excited about all the new items.

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Details on a Note Card

Posted on March 24, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my goodness – Spring is here… and yet, it was 28 degrees at 5 AM this morning. What gives! My card today uses the wonderful Everyday Details stamp set. It has some beautiful images and some nice sentiments as well, mixed fonts which I really like. Let’s take a peek.

This is a Basic White Notecard – so 3 1/2 x 5 in size. I stamped the nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a piece of Vellum Basics 12×12 SDSP then heat set it. Here’s the reason it needed to be heat set… inks on Vellum tend to stay wet for quite a bit and can therefore smear. Ask me how I know that! :O( The next step was to pull out the Sentimental Park Dies and die cut this beautiful banner. I stamped it in Early Espresso ink with a sentiment from the Everyday Details stamp set. With the Sentimental Park Dies still on my desk, I die cut several flowers in Petal Pink and adhered them in place. I used teeny tiny pearls from a retired set called Metallic Pearls. I adhered the Vellum to the notecard base with Stampin’ Seal so it wouldn’t show – under the die cut banner.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details on a Notecard, inside

On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink, then added several die cuts from the Sentimental Park Dies, both in Basic White and Balmy Blue.

Stampin' Up! Everyday Details on a Notecard & Envelope

On the envelope I stamped the sentiment from Everyday Details stamp set in Early Espresso ink – and that was it. This stamp set is retiring soon, end of April, so get yours while you can!

As you know, each year there is a new catalog – which means new items available and some retiring items as well – as in the IN COLORS: Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Tahitian Tide. If you need ink refills, ink pads, card stock, Stampin’ Blends in these colors I encourage you to get them now. You may purchase those in my shop here

Stampin’ Up! NEW Citrus Blooms for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 21, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday – and happy Spring as of the 19th! WooHoo. As I noted in an earlier post, I attended the SU! convention in Houston, and when I returned all my daffodils were (and still are) in bloom. So exciting! Love this season… My card today uses a brand new bundle called Citrus Blooms and it is gorgeous. Today I focused on just one of the dies. I used the die on a NEW DSP called Full of Life 6×6 DSP. I really like it. The card base is also a NEW COLOR – called Basic Beige. Later in the post I’ll show a photo of Basic White, Basic Beige and Very Vanilla as a comparison.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle. Thu hop 321

I simply adore the colors in this DSP… they are clear colors and flow from one to the other. The orange is the sunrise peeking through the leaves and the blue of course, is the sky :O). I know, I know, but this is what I see. And with the sun rising earlier here on the East coast, this DSP fits. So there. :O) The background paper is the new Basic Beige and it just ‘fits’ so easily with this DSP. I’m very excited about this new Basic Beige. So I used this gorgeous die from Citrus Blooms Dies to die cut the DSP, then adhered it to a Basic Beige just slightly larger. I then stamped it with Granny Apple Green ink using a sentiment from Charming Sentiments stamp set. These two papers were then added to a Basic Beige card base with dimensionals. I added some glam… Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins.

For the inside…

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Dies, inside of card

From the Citrus Blooms Dies cutting the DSP on the card front, this DSP piece was lest over. I stamped it in Granny Apple Green ink and adhered it to a panel of the Basic Beige card stock, then that to the inside of the card. When I look at this DSP on the inside of the card, I see a couple of things – first, a heart; second, simply a die cut piece :O)

For the envelope…

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms bundle for the hop

I stamped the envelope front with one of the Citrus Blooms stamps in Granny Apple Green ink. For the flap, I used a remnant from the Full of Life DSP, adhered it in place and trimmed to fit. The envelope is a Basic White envelope. And there you have it – quite a pretty and simple card & envelope. Hope you like!

Look below for how & when to order this bundle… Now it’s time to continue the hop – don’t miss a single stop :O) visit each and ever one.

Today’s card is a teaser… meaning, unless you are a demonstrator, you cannot order this bundle until early May . Bummer, right? BUT – you CAN join my team and be one of the lucky folks who can order early. You can JOIN MY TEAM HERE.

Comparing Very Vanilla, Basic Beige and Basic White card stocks. Quite a contrast with Basic White, but not so much between Basic Beige and Very Vanilla. Basic Beige ios a go-between and I think you will find it used a LOT in the coming days/ weeks.

What fun we had – lots of laughs and late hours & early morning starts, but the inspiration and energy were palpable and so very worth it. It’s taken me a bit to get back in the groove and feel rested. but already thinking about next year in Raleigh, NC!

My card base is Thick Basic White and I paired it with Poetic Expressions 12×12 DSP from the Jan-Apr Min Catalog. I used the fabulous Lifetime of Love bundle – also from the same catalog. The leafy die cut was cut from Rose Gold SDSP and die cut using the Lifetime of Love Dies. The floral spray is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Color Lifter. The floral spray stamp and the die cut are from the Lifetime of Love bundle – so pretty. The background for the Rose Gold die cut is Basic White, die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Lifetime of Love stamp set. The embellishments are Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots in Copper.

Posted on March 12, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

The theme for today is ‘celebrate spring’ and I’m using the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Simply Zinnia bundle and the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop Group

This Simply Zinnia stamp set spray is just so pretty. The colors I chose for these are Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, and Real Red with Daffodil Delight for middles and Old Olive for leaves – Stampin’ Blends of course. They almost look real. They were die cut with the coordinating Simply Zinnia Dies. The sentiment comes from Charming Sentiments and is die cut with the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes Dies – stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink. Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins are the added touch of sparkly . My layers are… Flirty Flamingo card base with Lemon Lolly adhered directly to it. The top layer is the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder in Basic White. It is just gorgeous. It’s definitely a directional embossing folder, so know which way it’s going to be on your card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Zinnia Birthday, inside card

For the inside: a layer of Lemon Lolly then the Basic White layer for writing on and a narrow strip of the Flowering Zinnias DSP along the side. It’s the little touches that make a card special.
