Stampin’ Up! Fancy Flora for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 13, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome to this fun hop! You will see some fabulous projects today so be sure to make the full circle of those participating.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop Challenge

Our sketch challenge is as you see to the left, lots of open space. I chose to use an embossing folder called Painted Posies 3D embossing Folder to be the center of attention. Behind in is a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and behind that is the Fancy Flora DSP (retiring!).

As you can also see, I’ve tied a ribbon around the embossing folder – and that is the Windowpane Check ribbon (retiring!). Just beneath the ribbon are three Opal Rounds (also retiring!) Do you get what I’m doing? Yep – using retiring product because it needs using and new items are quickly taking over :O)

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora for the hop 4/13

For the inside of the card, you can actually see the card base… Sahara Sand. I used another panel of the Fancy Flora DSP that really coordinates well with the card base. This is an ‘all occasion’ kind of card, one that can be sent just to connect with another to show you care. Near the bottom I adhered a narrow strip (about 1/4″) that goes the full width of the DSP panel – and really like the look. I like the way it ties everything together.

For the envelope I used another piece of the Fancy Flora DSP to adhere to the flap – and that was it.

With the introduction of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog going LIVE May 2, several items are retiring… from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog AND the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog. As so many items are being sold out rapidly, best thing to do is visit my ‘shop’ and see what’s still available. If it’s listed, it’s available. If it isn’t listed, it’s sold out – simple as that. The sale goes to May 1, 2023.

And… here’s my HOST CODE CXR49K4W for ordering any products from the retiring lists or any other items… order from me here and be sure to use my HOST CODE CXR49K4W. Be sure my name is listed as your demonstrator at the top of the page!

When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards.

And having said that, I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Join the fun!! I’ll place the share order early on May 2 and use the expedited shipping option and should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of May 8. You are going to LOVE these new papers…

How my shares work: I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6 x 6 pieces (or 6 x 12 for double shares) and you receive one panel of each design from each pack on the list. I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can. Shares give you a working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! :O)

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Fun Fold + Designer Series Paper Share Info

Posted on April 12, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning! We have beautiful weather temps today, but there is a brush fire somewhere making everything very smoky :O( Ugh. My card today is using a retiring DSP, By the Bay and a carrying over product Something Fancy stamp set & it’s coordinating Something Fancy Dies. And… I’m frustrated… my box of new goodies from Stampin’ Up! is ‘stuck’ somewhere and has yet to be delivered. But this By the Bay is just stunning Designer Series Paper. So let’s take a look at the card ~ and I’ll get past this disappointment.

This begins with a Balmy Blue card base 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2. With the long side up, remove 2 3/4 of the length. Set that piece aside as it becomes that front extended panel :O) Begin layering… Basic White 2 1/2 x 4 on the front left panel and on the set aside piece (cut 2). Layer on that the By the Bay DSP cut 2 1/4 x 3 3/4 (cut 2). What I did here was use the shell pattern for the front and the reverse side of the DSP for the side panel. I wrapped a length of the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around the front panel and tied a bow. I then die cut a Balmy Blue using the Something Fancy Dies, put dimensionals on it and secured it over the twine. I secured the bow in place with a glue dot. I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set on a Basic White piece with Balmy Blue ink and die cut it with the next smaller die from Something Fancy Dies. This was adhered with dimensionals to the Balmy Blue banner. I then took this completed front panel and attached it only on the left side to the left front of the card.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay Fun Fold, inside

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set in Balmy Blue ink on the Basic White panel (4 x 5 14), making certain it would not peek out from behind the front flap of the card.. I adhered this in place with my adhesive of choice, green glue. You can certainly use Stamp[in’ Seal if that is your preference. Once in place, I closed the front of the card and added these Balmy Blue Solid Faceted Gems (retiring!)

On the Envelope… more of the By the Bay DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and the card/ envelope are ready to send. This goes out to my hubby’s sister who is recovering from a stroke. I’m trying to send a card a week so she knows we are thinking of her & giving encouragement. She is such a dear sweet soul!

Stampin’ Up! Hand-Penned Petals with Country Gingham 6×6 DSP

Posted on April 11, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group! Our challenge this time is to create something “For The Ladies/Girls” and we could create this any way we wanted. I have created a very ‘girlie’ card, feminine in other words.

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

I’ve used Country Gingham 6×6 DSP adhered to a Mint Macaron card base to get me started. Then a Basic White panel with the long side run through the cut & emboss machine using this adorable scallop die from Penned Flowers Dies. I stamped the floral image in Memento ink using the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set, then colored it with So Saffron Blends and Soft Succulent Blends. This was die cut with the coordinating die in the Penned Flowers Dies and added to the scalloped panel with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Hand-Penned Petals, also in Memento ink, then added the scalloped panel with dimensionals to the card front. The bow is tied with White Crinkled Seam Binding and attached with a glue dot. And finally… Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the sparkly touch.

Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals + Penned Flowers Dies

For the inside, another panel of Basic White die cut with the scalloped die from Penned Flowers Dies :O), followed by stamping the flower stem in Evening Evergreen ink and the Flowers in So Saffron ink. This was adhered to another panel of the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP, then into the inside of the card ~ and done.

Stampin' Up! Hand-Penned Petals card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Country Gingham 6×6 DSP adhered to the envelope flap, then run through the die cutting machine with what else – the scallop die from Penned Flowers Dies! L-O-V-E this extra feminine touch! For the front of the envelope, I did the same stamping as the inside of the card: Evening Evergreen ink for the stem and So Saffron ink for the flowers.

Each of the products used in the card (except Memento ink & Basic White card stock) is retiring as of May 1 and is on the LAST CHANCE PRODUCT list. The Country Gingham 6×6 DSP is on the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog list. More info about that below!

Stampin’ Up! Radiating Stitches Dies with Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP and More

Posted on April 8, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

I made this card a bit ago and forgot to post it… do you know how this happens? At any rate… a friend asked for a card (or two) to be used as a sympathy card. I also needed a card of congratulations for a man and since I was on a roll – why not do both with the same dies just different Designer Series Paper? I’m pleased with how they both turned out – hope you like as well.

Stampin' Up! Radiating Stitches Dies with Fancy Flora DSP

I used a piece of the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP and layered the dies next to one another ran it through the die cutting machine. This created three die pieces to use. With the largest panel, I added dimensionals to the back and attached it to a Soft Succulent card base. The center piece is also on dimensionals and centered in the opening. I used Evening Evergreen ink to stamp on a Basic White strip then die cut with a banner die from the Sending Smiles Stamp set. This was attached with liquid glue directly to the center panel with dimensionals on the ends. For an additional touch three Loose Frosted Dots were attached with tiny dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Radiating Stitches Dies, inside card

For the inside I added the remaining die cut piece to a panel of Basic White, also run through the Radiating Stitches Dies. It created a wonderful outline! Can you see the heart? That is also from the Radiating stitches Dies set – and die cut from a scrap of Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora 6x6 DSP with Radiating Dies

For the envelope I added more Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I stamped the front of the envelope with stamps from the Sending Smiles Stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink.

Here’s the congratulations card…

Stampin' Up! Congratulations Card inside

This uses Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP, Copper Embossing Powder, Something Fancy stamp set and Adhesive-Backed Dots in Copper. Note: all but the embossing powder are also retiring and are part of the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS.

Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy

Posted on April 7, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday Morning! I have a couple of quick cards for you today, both very similar and made with By the Bay Specialty DSP (retiring product!) and Inspired Thoughts stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #1

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #2

The card on the left has an additional layer of embossed Basic White (with Cross Hatch embossing folder) behind the DSP layers. The left card uses Shimmer Ribbon and Festive Pearls in Silver, while the right card uses Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and Classic Matte Dots. The left card is stamped in Gray Granite ink while the right card is embossed with White Embossing powder and heat set. Both use the Label Me Fancy Punch for the sentiment banner. The card on the left was made for a gentleman who lost his mother and the card on the right was made for a woman – same formats, just a bit different.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy #1 inside

The card on the left uses Night of Navy ink for the sentiment (from Inspiring Thoughts stamp set) while the card on the right is Gray Granite ink. Both are stamped on Basic White with a layer of Night of Navy ~ and both have a card base of Gray Granite card stock.

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy card & envelope #1

Stampin' Up! Inspired Thoughts Sympathy card & envelope #2

The lighting is so different on these two cards! Go figure… I’m curious, do you have a preference? Do you like one card better than the other? I think my preference is the card on the left with the embossed layer of white.

Card cuts are listed at the bottoms of this post.

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Flora Step Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 6, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the hop! This is a talented group of folks with whom I am privileged to participate. And this week we have a color challenge!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 3/6

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Color Challenge 3/6

The colors I chose were Orchid Oasis, Calypso Coral , and Soft Succulent . Plus of course, the Fancy Flora DSP that brings it all together. Here’s my Step Fun Fold.

I used Orchid Oasis as the card base, cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I also used the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP for the main focus. I wanted a continuity, all of it cut to piece together like a puzzle. And, I think it worked! I also stamped the flower in Calypso Coral ink and the leaves in Soft Succulent ink for the ferny kind of leaves, and Evening Evergreen ink for the 2 leaves. I used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set & Two-Tone Flora Dies to create the flowers & leaves. The sentiment is stamped using the Something Fancy stamp set with Orchid Oasis ink on a Basic White panel and die cut with the Something Fancy Dies. I added three small Pearl Basic Jewels around the die cut flower for a bit of femininity.

It stands like this…

Stampin' Up! Step Fun Fold.hop 3/6,side view

This is a side view when standing, so you can see how it folds and makes a ‘step’. It’s super easy, you just must be extra careful making the cuts correctly and the score lines. The template below should guide you.

It’s easier to show a template with score lines and cuts than to explain it. Here that is… dotted lines are score lines. You may need to enlarge this to see it better :O)

On the back of the card is Basic White panel stamped using the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and Orchid Oasis ink. Please understand, there are two places this panel could be placed: on the back as I did here, or on the inside. Since this card was going to my hubby’s sister, he got to choose the placement :O)

It’s clear here, the stamped panel for the back, the full card open (just not standing!), and the inside of the card – again where a stamped panel could be placed.

Stampin' Up! Step Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope, more of this gorgeous Fancy Flora DSP on the flap and some fun stamped flowers in Orchid Oasis ink from the Two-Tone Flora stamp set. Gorgeous, gorgeousness. Hope you like… my hubby was thrilled to send this to his sister.

Stampin’ Up! Friends Are Like Seashells Book Fold

Posted on April 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning – actually, Palm Sunday morning. Spring is definitely in the air. I ordered several Hellebores (Lenten Rose) and they arrived this week. It’s been too cold at night to plant them yet (30 degrees) and it’s best to try to acclimate plants a bit at a time anyway. Yesterday it was 60 degrees so I took them outside is a shaded sun area, then was able to leave them overnight as temps didn’t go too low. I was able to do the same with coleus I had rooted from last years plants then potted – and they look super this morning.

You did not join me to talk about plants… this is another book fold with By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP ( I was on a roll) but I used a seashell pattern and paired it with Friends are like Seashells bundle. Love this bundle & I’m sad it’s going away… but it is time to make room for new :O) I also used the Lasting Label Punch for the sentiment banner and Faux Sea Glass Shapes to decorate the banner – all of which will be retiring as of May 1. Don’t you love those Sea Glass Shapes?!

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells book fold

For this card I began with Night of Navy cut 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2 & 6 3/4. I adhered the section to the card back between 5 1/2 & 6 3/4 to create the book fold, then decorated the front panels. See the image below for how it should look.

Stampin' Up! Book Fold w/ Friends Are like Seashells

First a layer of Balmy Blue then a layer of the By the Bay 6×6 DSP. I pulled out the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle for the sentiment and a coordinating shell. I stamped the sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink on Basic White, punched it with the Lasting Labels Punch, then used a Coastal Cabana Marker to decorate the edge. For even more sea-likeness, I added the Faux Sea Glass Shapes. Aren’t they fun? I stamped the sea shell in Sahara Sand ink on another Basic White piece & die cut it with the Seaside Seashells Dies. I added the decorated label to the card front with dimensionals, then the seashell right beside it, also on dimensionals. Really & truly, the DSP does all the work on this card.

Stampin' Up! Friends Are Like Seashells inside

For the inside I kept it really simple… a strip of the DSP on the Basic White panel and that was it. Since the inside panel is only 4 x 4, there is not a lot of room, and with a sentiment as is on the front, a personal note is usually needed.

Stampin' Up! Friendas Are Like Seashells card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP on the flap and then some fun seashells from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set on the front: inks used were Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy & Balmy Blue, bringing out like colors of the DSP on the card front.

These are all retiring products: the By the Bay Specialty DSP, Friends Are Like Seashells bundle and the Fancy Label Punch and will go away as of May 1. As with all things retiring, there is a retiring list for both the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog AND the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. These items are available while supplies last… and the sale beings 4 April through 1 May.

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay Book Fold Card

Posted on April 1, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning folks! It’s Saturday… and I have a masculine card for you using the By the Bay Designer Series Paper. This is for a gentleman who just had a hip replacement and is struggling with being able to do things. Thankfully he just began rehab, but he’s a bit ‘under the weather’ you might say. He’s a really big man and that’s part of the trouble… moving isn’t easy. So, a card for encouragement!

Isn’t this paper pretty? It’s also masculine and that helps me keep it simple. I really like how these papers coordinate and in corporate other shades of blue and bring in Sahara Sand and some sparkly as well. I used Wisteria Wishes stamp set for the sentiment and Night of Navy ink. To die cut, I used two dies from Something Fancy Dies (carrying over!) and die cut the larger in Night of Navy and the sentiment is Basic White. I wrapped Linen thread around each end of the Basic White piece (this fellow is a sailing friend and it fits), tied knots then added it to the Night of Navy piece with dimensionals. Then onto the card base with liquid glue. I added Sea Glass embellishments to tie in the colors of the DSP.

So… book fold how to:

Card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 and 6 3/4. Burnish the score lines
Add adhesive to the area between score lines and secure to the unscored section of the card. And there you have it, the book fold!

My card base is Balmy Blue – a carry over color. :O) The layers on the card are Night of Navy (carry over color) and the DSP. I’ll put the measurements at the bottom of the post. For the inside Idid not add the layer of Night of Navy, but did add a 5/8 strip of the By the Bay DSP to the Basic
White panel.

Stampin' Up! By the Bay book fold, inside

This inside leaves plenty of room for words of personal encouragement for this gentleman. For the envelope, I again kept it really simple… more By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap and that was it. This man does not want fussy.

Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on March 30, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a fun sketch challenge today that was pretty fun. You may have come from the talented Tara – or simply popped in here. Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy what you find.

And here’s my Two-Tone Flora Bundle card to go along with the challenge.

The Two-Tone Flora Bundle is just stunning and it coordinates with Fancy Flora DSP. This large die can make a card all on it’s own, but I chose to use it this way this time. It’s layered on a card base of Soft Succulent. The Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP was die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies then wrapped with a length of Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent that I tied at the end with White twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. I added this panel to the front with dimensionals. The sentiment comes from Something Fancy stamp set, is stamped on a Basic White strip with Evening Evergreen ink. I cut another fancy scallop (LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DIE!) using the Painted Labels Dies, added this to the back of the sentiment strip, then trimmed the ends of the banner. This was also added with dimensionals to the card front. For a bit of bling, I added three green Loose Frosted Dots with dabs of liquid glue.

For the inside of the card I took one of the flowers from Two-Tone Flora stamp set: inked the more solid stamp in Soft Succulent ink, then the more detailed stamp in Evening Evergreen ink. I added leaves from the same stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink – all on a Basic White panel. This was added to the inside of the card. I tend to prefer liquid adhesive for the flexibility of moving it before it sets. But if you are more comfortable using Stampin’ Seal – use that!

Stampin' Up! Two-Tone Flora Bundle card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP for the flap and this wonderful leaf spray stamped in Evening Evergreen ink. This stamp comes from Two-Tone Flora stamp set.

I’ve put together a list of products that are bundles and will be shown in the new catalog, but not as bundles. My suggestion is… get those bundles you desire now – for a 10% discount, in lieu of paying a higher price when the new catalog comes out. Check out my list below.

Price Changes Coming With The 2023-2024 Annual Catalog

Stampin’ Up! let us know that some of the items in the new catalog will have higher prices when the catalog is launched on May 2. The prices for all items that are carrying over will continue to be the current catalog prices through May 1. So now is a great time to stock up on any favorites before the price increases happen in early May! We have not been told any specifics on the amount that the prices will increase but we have been given a list of items that will increase in price with the new catalog.

Due to increased costs to produce these items, beginning May 2 new prices will be in effect within the following product categories:

Cardstock
Designer Series Paper
Specialty Paper
Notecards and Envelopes
Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills
Stampin’ Blends
Stampin’ Write Markers
Select Specialty Inks
Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines and plates
Embossing Folders
Punches
Take Your Pick products
Storage
Clear Blocks
Select tools
Select adhesives
Select stamp sets
Paper Pumpkin

Updated pricing will be reflected in the new 2023–2024 Annual Catalog. I’ll be mailing out the catalogs in mid-April to my ordering customers so take a peek when it arrives in your mailbox. The good news is you will have time to order any last-minute items before the new pricing starts May 2. Keep in mind those items that are carrying over: inks, card stocks, notecards & envelopes, etc. and purchase those prior to the price increase.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. May you have a beautiful day.

Make someone happy sending them a handmade card filled with love.
