Stqmpin’ Up! hello Harvest and Plaid for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 25, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello!!! And welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today that just seems perfect for a fall card. Here’s what i created for it…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Our color challenge is as seen in this photo…

The plaid is from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP and it’s Crushed Curry. The background DSP is Pumpkin Pie in the same 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP. I used it to cover the card front of the Pumpkin Pie card base. And I used the Stitched Rectangles to create the rectangles. Here’s a picture of how I die cut that.

Stampin' Up! Harvest Hello & Plaid w/ Stitched Rectangles. 2

It’s obvious how I held everything in place while I did the Stitched Rectangles die cuts. It was perfect… I adhered these in place with liquid glue – please notice how all the plaids line up just right in the completed card.:O)

The next step was the pumpkin – stamped on Basic White Thick card stock then colored with Stampin’ Blends… Pumpkin Pie, Light then Dark; Cajun Craze, Light & Dark. The stem was colored with Mossy Meadow Marker. The pumpkin was die cut with the pumpkin die from the Rustic Pumpkin Die (which of course coordinates w/ the Hello Harvest stamp set. As a bundle it’s 10% off!) This pumpkin was adhered in place with dimensionals after attaching a bit of Linen Thread with Stampin’ Seal. Here’s a photo of that…

I stamped the small flowers in Memento Ink and colored w/ Stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie and die cut with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. The flower on the left was secured in place with glue dots and the other two with dimesnionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink as well, on basic White, and die cut with Stitched Rectangles. This was adhered in place with dimensional on the left and one in the upper right corner and a bit of glue on the lower right corner. As a final touch, three Brushed Metallic Dots were added for a bit of glam. I like it! And that was it for the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest & Paid, inside.4

For the inside, I kept it real simple… and stamped the image in Memento Black on Basic White card stocl and adhered it to the inside of the card. The image is from Hello Harvest stamp set. This was attached in place with liquid glue ~ and the card was done.

For the envelope… more of the same plaid from 2022-2024- In Color 6×6 DSP in crushed Curry on the flap and the very nice bouquet stamped in Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie.

Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card

Posted on August 21, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Sunday ~ or is it Sad Sunday since the weekend is, you know, almost over. :O( Whatever you’re up to today, stay safe and be wise… My card for you today is a small one, but oh so sweet. It’s less than 3 1/4″. Here it is…

And here it is open.

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card.2

Isn’t this just adorable. So perfect for a special gift – birthday or even wedding. And, this is not hard to do.

On a 3 1/2 x 11 card stock, fold over one end larger enough for the largest scallop circle. Place this scallop die just slightly over the fold so it does not cut a full circle, but does allow for a circle ‘fold’ cut. Then die cut one full circle at other end of paper. I used Coastal Cabana. It should look like this…

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card.3

Notice how the one ‘set’ is die cut on the fold? And one side is then folded in half.

The extra circle will be adhered to the folded front half, matching the scallops.
Die cut three circles, (largest circle die) from Basic White card stock.
Cut one of those circle in half.
Stamp near the straight edge the desired sentiment and any additional stamp. I used the sweet leaf stamp in Garden Green ink from Shaded Summer stamp set. The sentiment is from…….
Adhere this stamped half circle to another full circle with dimensionals. This portion on dimensionals becomes the ‘stand’ for the upper portion.

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card.4

The next part is decorating the front – and you can do just about anything! I chose to use the Summer Shadow Dies, Daffodil Delight & So Saffron card stock, then Flirty Flamingo and Basic White for another flower and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. The background is a piece of 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink. Here’s another look.

Because this is slightly larger than 3″, I DID have to make an envelope – and I used a piece of very retired Envelope Paper in Mint Macaron.

Stampin' Up! Shaded Summer Circle Card envelope. 5

You can easily see how it is trimmed and shaped in the photo above and where I used Tear ‘n Tape to adhere it together. Dimensions: 4 3/4 width, 7 1/4 in length. When slipping the card in the envelope, I found it easier to slip in face down, so the die cuts do not snag on the envelope :O)

Stampin’ Up! Elephant Parade & Candy Cane Dies

Posted on August 20, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again… have you ever put a couple of items together just ‘off the cuff’? I had these ‘pieces’ left on my desk from the Candy Cane Dies from a project some time ago: Parakeet Party pieces just resting on Starry Sky card stock. Well, they looked awesome together, so I began playing. Here’s what happened.

Stampin' Up! Elephant Parade & Candy Canes Dies

It’s colorful for sure, right? This is my first play with the elephant bundle… and I’m a bit smitten. The eyes… the smiles.. the cuteness overload. Anyway… the sentiment is stamped in White and doesn’t stand out the way I had hoped. Embossed with white would have been better. And the balloon is colored with Tahitian Tide Blends. The elephant & mouse are colored with Smoky Slate & Ivory Blends then die cut with the Elephant Dies.

I used a template made of the Candy Canes Dies (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) for placement of all the die cuts… laid it on the card front, added glue to each of the openings (one at a time of course) and placed the Parakeet Party pieces. They came from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP. Once all were in place, I lifted my template and voila. I’m sending this to a friend of mine who has just become a first-time grandparent.

On the inside, the sentiment is stamped in Starry Sky ink and that sentiment comes from the Elephant Parade stamp set. The elephant is stamped in Smoky Slate ink and colored with same in Blends.

The envelope got a mix of Starry Sky & Parakeet Party 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP to tie it all together. The mouse was stamped in Smoky Slate and the balloon in Memento Black. Just right.

Stampin’ Up! Boughs of Holly + Merriest Moments for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 18, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hi there! We have a challenge for our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop that is sketch challenge and here’s what I did for it.

Stampin' Up! Slimline card with Boughs of Holly DSP & more

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 7/18/22

I’ve chosen to do a slimline card :O) for this challenge using the Boughs of Holly DSP as the main focus. I even used another piece of DSP as a layer behind the super colorful panel. I colored the Crinkled Seam Binding with a Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends to ‘tie’ it all together. And the sentiment on the front is on a Basic White piece stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using the Leaves of Holly stamp set & die cut with the Holly Berry Dies. These two coordinate & so when purchased together offer a 10% discount!!! Just sayin’… if you want this bundle, this is the way to go. OK, what else…you can see I slipped the ribbon behind the sentiment banner for a bit of fun. I think it adds a nice touch. The ribbon is adhered in place with a glue dot and the piece that slips behind the sentiment banner also has a glue dot. The banner is on dimensionals. Measurements will be given at the end of this post. :O)

Stampin' Up! slimline card, inside, Merriest Moments

For the inside I used another piece of the same DSP as on the layer on the front, from Boughs of Holly DSP. then added a Basic White panel. This panel is stamped using Merriest Moments stamp set. The sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink. The holly leaves are stamped first in Old Olive ink, stamped off, then with a sponge dauber, inked with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped on the panel. I love this look, the varied colors so similar to nature! Again, card stock measurements will be listed at the end of this post.

And here’s the Slimline Envelope (157981) decorated using the Merriest Moments stamp set.I inked the holly leaf stamp in Old Olive, stamped off, used the sponge dauber & Shaded Spruce ink to add a bit of variation, then stamped the envelope with each holly leaf. And that was it!!! YAY!

Card cuts:

Stampin’ Up! Book-Binding Gatefold Card

Posted on August 17, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hi there! I have a very fun & easy card for you today. Yes, layers, that’s me. It’s a fun fold.

I’ve used the Boughs of Holly DSP and the Leaves of Holly stamp set with it’s coordinating dies: Holly Berry Dies.Notice this center sentiment banner. Gorgeous, right? The berries on the lower right are holding the gatefold closed by simply slipping part of the sentiment banner under the berries, which are on dimensionals of course. And here it is out from under the berries.

Notice how the ‘gate’ is open? Ok, how to make this beauty.

Cut the card base 4 1/4 x 11 & score @ 2 1/8, 3 3/8, & 8 7/8 (this is Real Red card stock) & burnish
Cut layering panels: 1 1/8 x 4 1/8, 2 x 4 1/8 (cut 2) * for inside 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 (this is Soft Succulent card stock)
Cut DSP panels: 1 x 4, 1 7/8 x 4 (cut 2) (this is Boughs of Holly DSP) Notice they are coordinating
Basic White square inside is 4 x 4
Thick Basic White : 6 x 4 for sentiment banner & berries

The first step is to create the book-binding… adhere together with a strong adhesive (I used Seal+) the scored area between 2 1/8 & 3 3/8. Adhere DSP panels to their like card stock cuts, then onto the card front. That’s really it except for decorating the card front :O)

To decorate: die cut 2 sentiment banners from Thick Basic White and from Evening Evergreen, the backing for the holly leaves. Adhere Evening Evergreen piece in place behind holly leaves, then adhere other banner piece to this for strength. Stamp sentiment in Real Red using the Leaves of holly stamp set.

Stamp berries ~ the detail is stamped first in Sweet Sorbet ink, then stamp over this with the more solid berry stamp in Real Red ink. Die cut with the appropriate die from Holly Berry Dies. Do this three times. Add one set of berries to the upper right corner of the sentiment banner, behind. Cut apart one set of berries to use two berries to add with dimensionals near the holly leaves. Close the Gate fold and adhere sentiment banner only on the left ‘gate’. Put dimensionals on the remaining set of berries and attach so the corner of the sentiment banner can slide under it. YAY, done! Now add several Rhinestone Basic Jewels for sparkle.

Here you can see five of the seven rhinestones added to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Book-binding Gatefold, inside

To create the inside is super easy too. Adhere the Soft Succulent panel first. Now stamp the Basic White piece: berries first. Detail stamp is Sweet Sorbet, more solid stamp is Real Red. Finally stamp the sentiment from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Real Red. Adhere this panel in place and the card is finis. :O) Beautiful, right?

Stampin' Up! Book Binding Gatefold envelope

For the envelope I stamped the sentiment from Leaves of Holly in Real Red ink across the bottom front. The flap got more of the Boughs of Holly DSP. Lovely, fresh, cheery.

This book-binding gatefold is so quick & easy and can be used for any occasion. Just change up the papers and there ya go! Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

Stampin’ Up! Holly Berry Dies and More

Posted on August 14, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning! I have another Christmas card for you, and here it is mid August. :O) I’m just getting around to playing with the Holly Berry Dies ~ and yes, they coordinate with Leaves of Holly stamp set and you save 10% when purchasing together. It is a fabulous set. Let’s take a look …

Look at those gorgeous holly leaves. Such detail! And these are large leaves too. Ok, so here’s what I did… I covered the front of the card base (Basic White Thick) with Boughs of Holly DSP. I took another panel of Boughs of Holly DSP and backed it with a piece of Basic White, same size. I cut a Wonderful Snowflakes in half and played with placement as it was ton go behind the layer just cut. Once in place, I added the smaller layer on dimensionals. I did a bit of die cutting: Soft Suede for the detail of the holly and Shaded Spruce for behind it. I die cut another holly detail die in Basic White. I also die cut the two layers for the berries, using some scrap of the Boughs of Holly DSP that I covered the front of the card base. I loosely adhered one of the holly layers together, the other I adhered totally. And the berry dies I adhered together as well. I used a card on page 24 of the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog for my inspiration. After determining placement, I began adhering leaves & berries in place. I the cut a 1/2″ Natural Woven ribbon in half lengthwise, colored one side with a Stampin’ Blends with Light Crumb Cake, tied a bow and adhered it in place with a glue dot. The last part of the card front was the sentiment banner. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink on a Basic White piece then die cut it with a banner die from the Holly Berry Dies. I adhered this with dimensionals and called the card front done.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly stamp set, card inside

For the inside, I cut a panel of Boughs of Holly for my background and adhered it in place. On a basic White panel, I stamped the holly leaves in Shaded Spruce, second generation for the darker leaf, then continued third generation for the other two leaves. I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink still using the Leaves of Holly stamp set. I adhered this panel in place and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly stamp set, envelope

As you can see, more of the red Boughs of Holly DSP for the envelope flap. For the front, more holly leaves in Shaded Spruce using the Leaves of Holly stamp set. When stamping second and third generation, it’s best to re-ink between stamping, stamp off on a scrap then onto your main piece. Love this bundle of stamps & dies! You’ll see more of this I’m sure. 😁

Stampin’ Up! Leaves of Holly

Posted on August 13, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning Saturday. WOW – big temperature drop. It’s actually cool here. Tuesday it was 104; today we waken to 60! Big, big difference. Perhaps I can actually do some work outside today :O) My card… speaks of Christmas. It mostly uses Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper and a bit of stamping using the Leaves of Holly stamp set. My card tomorrow shows off that stamp & die bundle.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly & Boughs of Holly DSP

Cards look so different in a photo… I started with a card base of Soft Succulent, then a layer of Evening Evergreen and Basic White – all adhered together. The next layer is all on dimensionals.

top left: Soft Succulent layered with Boughs of Holly DSO then a Textured Element adhered directly. I used the Pearlized Enamel Effects on each of the tips of this element for a bit of added sparkle.
top right: Soft Succulent base, clean with Embossing buddy to remove any static, stamp the two sentiments from Leaves of Holly stamp set in VersaMark, sprinkle with White Embossing Powder and heat set with the SU! Heat Tool. Once this has cooled, stamp the holly leaf in second generation Soft Succulent ink. Dot with Pearlized Enamel Effects.
bottom right: Soft Succulent base with panel of Boughs of Holly DSP
bottom right: Soft Succulent base with holly leaf stamped in second generation Soft Succulent ink then dotted with Pearlized Enamel Effects.

Spacing is especially important in this kind of project so lay them out before attaching! The most difficult part for me on a project like this, is determining the sizes of the front layer. Once I do that, the rest is easy!!

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly, card inside

This holly leaf from the Leaves of Holly stamp set are just beautiful! I stamped them in second generation Soft Succulent ink then stamped the sentiment (yep, Leaves of Holly stamp set) in full strength Soft Succulent on a Basic White piece. This I adhered to Evening Evergreen then attached it to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Leaves of Holly w/ Boughs of Holly DSP & envelope

More of the same pattern of Boughs of Holly DSP on the envelope flap, then second generation Soft Succulent ink stamped holly leaf from Leaves of Holly stamp set. Love the colors in this. The stamp bundle, Designer Series Paper, Pearlized Enamel Effects and the Textured Element may all be found in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog. You’ll see more of these in tomorrows post – hint, hint.

Stampin’ Up! Stylish Sketches Part II

Posted on August 12, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Yahoo – it’s Friday… What exactly does that mean for you? The weather here in NJ is supposed to be ‘nice’. I’m hoping that means in the 80’s not the 100’s :O) Stylish Sketches is such a wonderful stamp set – the images really do look like sketches, free lines to create the image. I really like it. And it stamps beautifully!

So, for this card I used a similar layout, added some color, and of course a different image from the stamp set. My color of choice for this was Calypso Coral. Yes, I did add color on the stamped image ( Shaded Spruce & Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends), but I kept it pretty simple, but with layers.

Card base is Thick Basic White, layered with Calypso Coral then a Timeworn Type 3D Basic White embossed panel each adhered with liquid glue.
The plaid panel is Calypso Coral, then a layer of Gingham Cottage plaid in Calypso Coral. These were adhered together and added to the card front with dimensionals.
The stamped layer:
- Stamp the image from Stylish Sketches in Memento black ink. Color with Stampin’ Blends: Shaded Spruce and Pumpkin Pie, using both light & dark for both.
- Stamp sentiment in Memento Black in using the True Beauty stamp set. I like the font!
- Add two Classic Matte Dots in Black nest to sentiment
- Adhere to a slightly larger piece of Calypso Coral and add to card front with dimensionals on the right and liquid glue on the left. Card front ~ done!

Stampin' Up! Stylish Sketches Part II, inside

For the inside…Stamp the same image from Stylish Sketches, just not the entire image, in Memento Black on a Basic White panel; adhere this to another piece of Calypso Coral just slightly larger, then to the inside of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Stylish Sketches Part II + envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Gingham Cottage plaid in Calypso Coral to the the flap and the same image stamped in Memento Black on the front – yep, Stylish Sketches stamp set.

Let me remind you, Stylish Sketches stamp set is FREE with a qualified order ($50 US) during Sale-a=bration. Please note… SALE-A-BRATION ENDS August 31!

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings

Posted on August 11, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The theme this week is ‘Harvest’ and I’ve chosen to use the baby wipe technique and the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings and bay wipe technique

Harvest just says ‘fall’ to me… and here it is almost mid August. Already the sky is not light as late at night and remains darker later in the morning. Boo hoo! But I love seasons, so I’m not complaining. I was playing with the baby wipe technique and these came out so softly that at first I didn’t like it, but the more I played, the more I DID like it. My baby wipe was a bit dry and that’s why I think it turned out so softly, but as I said, I like it. If you haven’t done this technique before, I urge you to try it… it’s super easy

the baby wipe should be on a large acrylic plate or a ceramic one, something that will protect your surface from the wetness – and be flat too of course.
drop various re-inker colors on the baby wipe: I used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Garden Green and Crumb Cake (harvest/ fall colors). Allow them to bleed together.
With the stamp on an acrylic block, stamp onto the inked baby wipe then onto the desired card stock. I used Very Vanilla for this card. Continue as many times as needed for the effect you are wanting.
Because I had extra card stock on my table, I stamped for the inside layer and the envelope front ~ and each time the image was different in colors. L-O-V-E!

I trimmed my focal image down and adhered it to a Pumpkin Pie panel. It was at this point I created my background: Regals 6×6 DSP in Pumpkin Pie – fun plaid – adhered to Pumpkin Pie. I wrapped this with a length of Frayed Ribbon and attached it in back with Seal+, then mounted it on a Very Vanilla card base with dimensionals. I took my baby wipe focal piece and attached it with dimensionals to the card front. For the sentiment, I stamped this in Soft Suede ink using the True Beauty stamp set on a Very Vanilla strip. I wanted a scrolly kind of font that imitated the swirly of the front image. This was added to another piece of Pumpkin Pie and added to the front with dimensionals. As a final touch – Amber Gems from the Leaf Label & Amber Gems Combo Pack. And the front was done.

Stampin' Up! Soft Seedlings baby wipe technique

Remember this inside is already stamped with the maple leaf whirly-gigs :O) using the baby wipe technique explained above. And yes, it’s Very Vanilla card stock added to a Pumpkin Pie layer, then attached to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, I stamped the leaf image using the baby wipe technique on the front, then more of the Regals 6×6 DSP Pumpkin Pie – fun plaid – on the flap & voila – the card is done. Depending on the color of re-inkers used for this technique, this card could be in deep purples with bits of Crumb Cake or Crushed Curry – hmmm I may have to try that! – or shades of red. You really can use your imagination and use just about any color combo. Have fun with it!

OK – now, on with the hop. You may use the next button or click on a name to get you where you’re going. Enjoy!
