Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite

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

TODAY’S THE DAY… the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog AND the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog go LIVE. Whoopie! So here’s my card today, showcasing Painted Lavender Bundle and Perennial Postage AND the Perennial Lavender DSP– all are part of a suite of products found on pages 22-25.

I’ve used several of the suite products to make this card… Softly Sophisticated embossing folder is a FREE item in the Sale-a-Bration catalog with a qualifying purchase. It’s the background for this card and I love the delicate imprint. The next layer is a Crumb Cake piece die cut with the Scalloped Contours Dies. On that is Gorgeous Grape card stock, cut to fit inside the stitched lines of the die cut. Then of course is this stunning DSP – Perennial Lavender DSP, cut just a wee bit smaller. These three layers were adhered together and added to the Thick Basic White card base and embossing folder with dimensionals. I then die cut three ‘stems’: the largest from Lost Lagoon card stock, and the two smaller in Gorgeous Grape & Basic White. These dies come from Perennial Lavender Dies and were attached with liquid glue. I pulled out the Deckled Rectangle Dies to cut another piece of Crumb Cake for the sentiment. The stamped sentiment comes from Perennial Postage stamp set & is stamped in Crumb Cake ink. Before adhering the sentiment with dimensionals, I tied a large bow using the Woven Metallic Ribbon in Orchid Oasis and attached it with a glue dot and the sentiment panel goes right over it. I like the sparkle of the ribbon and how the shades of purple flow together and compliment one another. I think I’m going to have to add a few of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems that are part of this suite!

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite card, inside

For the inside… on a Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink slightly off-center (from Perennial Postage stamp set), then stamped the lovely floral bouquet (from Painted Lavender stamp set) in stamped off Highland Heather ink. This creates a wonderfully feminine effect that coordinates with the feminine front of the card.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped the same floral bouquet from Painted Lavender stamp set in stamped off Highland Heather ink on the envelope front. Love, love – and hope you do as well.

The sentiments used for this card make it an all occasion card that can be used for thinking of you to birthday greeting to missing you. I really like this flexibility!

OK – how to get these…. the suite number is 162613 or items can be ordered separately. Unless there is something I really, realloy don’t want in a suite of prodcuts, I usually order the full suite – one number does it all. And just so you know, there is no advantage other than inputting one number as opposed to several numbers on the order form. The bottom price is the same.

If you do not have a demonstrator and need a catalog, I can remedy that :O) Just let me know!

Stampin’ Up!

Posted on January 2, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

It is Jan 2 and in just two days – Jan 4 – the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog goes live. I thought it might be fun today take a peek at some of the cards I’ve made with a few of the new stamps/ bundles.

We’ll start with the Bee Mine Suite found on pages 8-10. This suite includes the stamp set & coordinating punch, some very fun Designer Series Paper, ribbon, pillow boxes and embellishments.

Stampin' Up! Offset Gatefold Bee My Valentine

If you click on the photo I’ve created a link to the post where you can see how the card was made. The far left is an offset gatefold card.

On page 12 is the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle that also includes a punch.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons w/ Merry Bold & Bright

It’s interesting how different cards can be by changing small elements in them: colors, Designer Series Papers, angles, embellishments.

The next suite I’m sharing cards from is Perennial Lavender Suite with two stamp sets and two sets of dies, Butterfly Accents, DSP, and gems – all found on pages 22-25.

The lovely flower die cuts are just beautiful. In these two cards you can see a couple of sizes of new Perennial Postage Dies – FUN! The DSP is from this suite as are the embellishments and check out the white butterfly… there are several sizes and various shapes too.

Quiet Reflection stamp set can be found on page 63 and is a beautiful stamp with wonderful, heartfelt sayings. Remeber that if you desire to see the original post, just click on the link in the photo.

The last card I’ll share today is made with the Stippled Roses bundle which includes coordinating dies. This can be found on page 64. This bundle has coordinating paper as part of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses in Calypso Coral

Each of these cards shows the Softly Stippled DSP that is free with a qualifying order. It may be found on page 8 of the Sale-a- Bration Catalog. Back to the stamp set though – look at the stunning roses in the 1st & 3rd cards – the detail is wonderful. And the dies – again, the detail is remarkable.

If you do not have a demonstrator and do not have catalogs, I can remedy that – just let me know. :O)

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Birthday

Posted on January 1, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Happy 2024!!! Here we are in a new year. Did you make or are you in the process of making resolutions? I was talking with someone the other day and the topic was really about facing a topic and asking ourselves, ‘why are we afraid of it’ (whatever that is?)” And how, if we break it down, take it apart, it’s easier to face or do. First we name it, then ask the question, then break it down. The unknown can be so hard to face. Gosh, I got all philosophical… go figure… enuf of that. Let’s play with paper & create.

I began by stamping this beautiful rose bouquet in Basic Gray ink from Stippled Roses stamp set and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Light Calypso Coral, Light Sweet Sorbet and Old Olive for the leaves. I die cut it with the coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. Next decision was what background…. and I really like this Pebbled Path pattern in the Softly Stippled DSP. Now what else to do??? I got out my Vellum Basic SDSP and die cut several (well, three) leaves using the Stippled Roses Dies. The pattern doesn’t show so much, but the vellum leaves are attached to the back of the rose bouquet with Stampin’ Seal.. I added dimensionals and attached it to the Softly Stippled DSP panel. I wanted a bit of accent and Old Olive fit that need and all was adhered to the Pebbled Path card base. The sentiment is also from Stippled Roses and stamped on a Basic White strip with Pebbled Path ink. I trimmed ther ends, added mini dimensionals to the end and a bit of glue to the center area and attached it over the rose bouquet. I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday, inside

For the inside, I stamped the single rose with leaves in Pebbled Path ink – also from the Stippled Roses stamp set – on the Basic White panel; adhered this to Old Olive card stock slightly larger and into the card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday card & envelope

For the envelope – this same single rose with leaves was stamped on the envelope front and another piece of the Softly Stippled DSP was adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. Done. I really likje the background on this card and how it softens the colors of the bouquet – and the vellum leaves too. Hope you like it as well.

The Softly Stippled DSP can be found on page 8 of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – which means it is a FREE item with a $50 purchase. The Stippled Roses Bundle can be found in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog on page 64. All other items used to make this card are in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and needs supplies, catalogs, inspiration – reach out to me. I would like to serve your needs.

Stampin’ Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card

Posted on December 29, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! Gosh, the 29th of December…. where has the year gone? I’m sharing a new DSP that will be available come Jan 4, 2024 called Flight & Airy 12 x 12 DSP and it is FREE with a $50 order (before taxes & shipping). It is so sweet with birds and delicate branches and soft bright colors. Here’s the card…

Such a sweet bird! I began by die cutting the Flight & Airy DSP with the third from smallest Countryside Corners Dies, punched a couple of leaves from Vellum using the Bough Punch.I adhered these to the back of the DSP with Stampin’ Seal. I also looked at the backs of the Flight & Airy DSP for my background paper & chose this pretty Pecan Pie piece, adhered it to a Pecan Pie card base. I put dimensionals on the die cut DSP piece and attached it to the card front. I stamped the sentiment using another new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog called Stippled Roses stamp set (it has coordinating dies!) and Pecan Pie ink. I adhered the stamped piece to another strip of Pecan Pie, put dimensionals on it and attached it under the focal point. The last touch was adding Blooming Pearls (3) in Garden Green – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card, inside

For the inside, I fussy cut one of the birds on a branch with leaves and attached it with liquid glue to the Basic White & Flight & Airy panel – and adhered all to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthdsay card & envelope

I found a scrap with a wee bird peeking up and fussy cut that too and adhered it to the envelope front. More of the Flight & Airy DSP to the flap and done! Such a sweet card!

So I’ve mentioned the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – and the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog – both going live Jan 4 2024. If you don’t have these, please reach out to me and we can ‘fix’ that :O) While you’re at it, consider checking out the Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 28, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! It is post Christmas and lots to celebrate – family, friends, laughter, sharing – and the list goes on… I took a few days to be with our family and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for your patience :O)

I’m already on to another phase of appreciation and thankfulness and am in the process of creating boxes. This is my first and I made some errors… which I will adjust in my directions so you don’t make the same mistakes :O) nor do I when making more.

Stam[in' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 12/28

This is a cute sized box, in other words, not too large. It holds these delicious little Noble candies – hope I can find more of these! Back to the box…

The box is cut 5 x 3 1/2 from Boho Blue card stock and scored at 7/8 on all sides. Cut up to score line on each long side & cut a wedge from each tab as shown in photo below. Add Tear n’ Tape as shown as well. Form box & adhere tabs inside. This creates a neat finish to the outside of the box.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy box. Thgur hop 12/28

Using the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies, cut another piece of Boho Blue and score on the long side @ 2 1/8 & 3. I cut my Boho Blue at 4 x 5 3/8 which is a snug fit for the largest die, but works! I also cut (2) pieces of Flirty Flamingo 1 7/8 x 3 1/4; & one piece of Basic White with the third smallest Deckled Rectangle Dies. I stamped the Basic White panel with Blueberry Bushel ink for the sentiment; Garden Green ink stamped off once for the stems and Flirty Flamingo ink stamped off once for the flowers; all of these come from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set which is part of the Sale-a-bration bonus items with a $100 purchase (stamp set & embossing folder) found on pages 14/15 in the Sale-a-bration catalog. (The catalog goes live Jan 4, 2024!!! Sale-a-bration items are available Jan 4- Feb 29, 2024.

The ‘cover” for the box is that piece of Boho Blue die cut with the largest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. Add a 16″ piece of ribbon with glue dots down the center… I used Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack in Bubble Bath as shown in photo below.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy box. Thu hop 12/28, ribbon

Adhere box to the bottom portion with liquid glue, then attach sentiment panel to the upper portion. For the top of the box, I die cut a piece from the Flight & Airy 12×12 DSP – also a FREE ITEM during Sale-a-bration with a $50 purchase. That paper may be found on pages 6/7 of the Sale-a-bration catalog. I adhered that to a slightly larger piece of Flirty Flamingo & attached both to the top of the box & done! Fill with favorite wrapped candies & gift. I’ll be making quite a few of these for an event in February – so stay tuned to see the full batch.

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP with Frame

Posted on December 24, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Christmas Eve morning and excitement is in the air! Before I get too far into my post and the card of the day, let me say thank you to those who follow my blog, post comments, purchase from me, are on my team – all that. Stampin’ Up! has afforded me the opportunity to share my creativity in a whole new way and I so appreciate all of you for sharing in my journey. So, thank you.

Family arrives later today for several days and I will be taking a bit of a break while they are here. I want my focus to be on them and not running to my computer to check for messages concerning this paper crafting business. Yes, each of you is important but family is a priority while they are here – thank you for understanding.

I had this Meandering Meadows DSP on my desk still and couldn’t help but continue playing with it. This time I added this wonderful ‘frame’ that is part of the Garden Meadows Dies. It is die cut from Very Vanilla card stock and added to the DSP with dimensionals. The DSP is adhered to Melon Mambo card stock just slightly larger and that is attached to a Blueberry Bushel card base with dimensionals. I added three Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies buzzing around the flowers for a bit of ‘meadow feeling’.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink on a Very Vanilla panel, then the flowers at the bottom in Garden Green ink. This is a precious stamp! The Very Vanilla panel is added to another Melon Mambo piece just slightly larger then into the inside of the card base – and done!

Stampin' Up! Garden Meadows card & envelope

On the envelope I adhered the remaining piece of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 piece, just turned it to the other side. Then stamped that same sweet flower bunch in Garden Green ink on the front.

This set can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES of the Stampin’ Up! store – which you may find right here: Garden Meadows stamp set & dies, Meandering Meadows DSP AND the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds elements. The card stock, envelopes and inks are all part of the Annual catalog which may be found here.

Coming soon is the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog and with that, it means some products from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog will be retiring.

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP Simple Card

Posted on December 22, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Today’s card is super simple – intentionally. I’m interested in making several of these to use as a quick notice of thinking of you, or concern, or birthday, or just a note, whether it be of appreciation or thanks or hello friend. I love the color contrasts in this DSP and for the simple layers. Behold… Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP, hello

Blueberry Bushel is one of the coordinating colors for this DSP and I used it for my card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I trimmed the Meandering Meadows DSP to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and adhered it to Petal Pink just slightly larger. These two panels were added to the card base with dimensionals. As a final touch, three birds were added from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds. They show beautifully because they are brass!

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP hello, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink onto a Basic White panel, and it comes from the Garden Meadow stamp set, then added a strip of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 DSP to the bottom (a continuation of the pattern from the card front). This was added to another panel of Petal Pink just slightly larger, then into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP card & envelope

The envelope flap got more of the same panel of Meandering Meadow DSP, just the other side of that 6×6 piece to create the card front! On the front of the envelope, I stamped the floral image in Basic Gray ink as it simulates the flowers in the scene on the card front. :O) Stampin’ Up! is really clever in the way they pair the DSP with stamp bundles – and actually, these are all a part of a suite of products in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. You may find that link here.

Stampin’ Up! Bee Mine Valentine for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

IT’S THURSDAY – time for another HAPPY INKIN’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge today and you can see that below. I’ve taken some liberties with the sketch :O).

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Thursday hop 12/21

I began with Pool Party card stock for my card base, then ran a slightly smaller piece through the Basics 3D embossing folder. This is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE set of three embossing folders and I use them a LOT! I then cut a piece of Basic Black card stock and the super fun Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP at an angle: 3/4″ down on right side and 2 1/2″ down on left side for the top panel. The bottom panel is 1″ up from the bottom on the left side and 3″ up from bottom on the right side. These were adhered directly to the 3 1/2 x 4 3/8 Basic Black piece, leaving the apace in between. I attached this with dimensionals to the card front.

I stamped the bee from Bee My Valentine stamp set in Memento ink of scraps of Basic White: Memento ink, Crushed Curry for the body, Petal Pink stamped off once was added to the wings. These were punched out with the Bee Builder Punch and attached together as needed with glue dots. I put dimensionals on the back of the bee and placed it on the card front. As an afterthought, I added Wink of Stella to all the yellow portions of the bee. I added these adorable flowers from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers – and the card front was complete.

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment from Bee My Valentine in Memento ink, then pulled out the ‘buzzing line’ of the bee & Pool Party ink and stamped above it. The Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card with liquid glue.

For the envelope, more of the ultra cute paper from Be Mine 12 x 12 DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. More stamping of the ‘buzzing line’ in Pool Party ink across the bottom front of the envelope.

Stampin’ Up! December Paper Pumpkin is a WOW!

Posted on December 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! My December Paper Pumpkin arrived yesterday and with no outside obligations last night I set right to work to put it together. The cards are gorgeous… and spring-like. There’s even a clear box for them so they can be given as a gift :O)

Here’s the first card & envelope.

Here’s card 2 with envelope.

Card 3 & envelope.

These last two photos show the envelope front and the acetate box with all nine cards inside. Notice there is a wrap around (belly band) piece with a single flower attached. Stampin’ Up! really went all out with this months kit. I love everything about them – and they took such a short time putting them together. I felt no need to come up with alternatives either – these are so pretty. At least for me – they fit the bill perfectly!

This kit is appropriately called All The Best and makes nine gorgeous cards. I’m hoping to pick up a refill or two when they become available. If you would like to start a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you can do that here. There are various types of subscriptions and you can find that info here.

The subscription period for the January kit began 11 December. We’re very excited to share with you a sneak peek at the upcoming kits and their unique features. Remember that with each kit comes a stamp set and an ink spot. It’s a great way to start a collection.

Make love-themed cards for special occasions, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and more with the Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit! This kit coordinates with the Perennial Lavender Suite Collection in the new Jan-Ap 2024 Mini 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.
