Stampin’ Up! Traditions of Christmas for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Thursday and you know what that mean – a super dooper hop. Let’s get to it! We have a sketc h challenge today and I’ve used NEW PRODUCTS from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog. Wheee!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas card front

I used Secret Sea for my card base and adhered strips of Traditions of Christmas DSP & Gold Foil to create the front of the card. (card cuts are listed below) I stamped then sentiment in VersasMark ink then sprinkled WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder (gold) and heat set it. This small banner seemed to need some accent – so I cut a length of ribbon 1/2″ Shiny Ribbon in Real Red, angling one end to mimic the banner. To this ribbon i added 3/8″ Irregular Weave Trim with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered these to the card front, put dimensionals on the sentiment banner (die cut with the Traditional Labels Dies) and attached over the ribbons – creating a great accent. NOTE: you could easily create the same thing with card stock. My final step was adding three Traditional Sparkling Sequins – and the card front was complete! Remember these items will be available in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog. You could also join my team now and be able to order these items as part of your starter kit!

Stampin' Up! Traditions of Christmas card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment using the Traditional Labels stamp set and Real Red ink. I then fussy cut the image from one of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP and adhered it with liquid glue next to the sentiment.

For the envelope, more of the same main pattern of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP adhered to the envelope

Stampin’ Up! NEW Amber Autumn Sneak Peek for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on August 12, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Sneaky Peeks are so fun – you get to see new products that will be available in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog and I get to p-l-a-y! Or should I say, experiment?! We hasve a challenge for this blog hop – “fall frenzy” and we can interpret that any way we like. So, here we go…

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

This is a BRAND NEW bundle – part of a suite of products in the Sep-De c 2025 Mini Catalog… Love, love, love this suite of products! We have LOTS of oak trees in our back area and because of that, acorns. That inspired this card – of course along with the theme. 😀 I used Gray Granite for my card base, then a layer of the shiny Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper. It has a brownish coppery kind of look and as I said – is shiny. I then die cut the leaves using the Amber Autumn Dies (it’s one die) using the Autumn Toile DSP with Adhesive Sheet attached. Removing the adhesive sheet, I attached it to the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper. The main image is stasmped in Early Espresso ink and colored with several Stampin’ Blends: Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake & Cajun Craze.I used a Blender Pen to move the Early Espresso ink on the acorn top and on the shading of the acorn, then filled in the rest of the acorns with Crumb Cake. After coloring, I die cut this image with the Amber Autumn Dies. I adhered this to a Stitched Shapes circle (third from largest) in Very Vanilla. This was attached to the card front with dimensionals. As a final touch three of the Streaked Dots, part of this suite of products.

For the inside of the card… I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso ink, then stamped a portion of the acorn stamp (also from Amber Autumn stamp set. stamping in the upper right corner, re-inking and stamping in the lower left corner.. This Very Vanilla stamped panel was adhered to an Autumn Toile DSP, then attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Amber card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the same Autumn Toile DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. Again… I stamped a partial image of the acorn stamp from the Amber Autumn stamp set in the lower left corner.

Stampin’ Up!Sneaky Peek of Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder

Posted on August 11, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

New product releases in the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog are opportunities for challenges to inspire. This embossing folder is part of a suite of products called the Traditions of Christmas Suite. Let’s look…

Stampin' Up! Traditional Wreath 3D card front

This is a large embossing folder… about 6×6… good for a card but also could be something to be framed. The image is beautiful and full of texture. After running the Basic White panel through the embossing folder, I used a sponge dauber & Old Olive ink to add color to the raised leaves.I then used my Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blends to color the berries. Next I pulled out one of the papers in the Traditions of Christmas SDSP and fussy cut several of the images of a poinsettia & leaves.I adhered these both with dimensionals and directly to the embossed piece. I used the ribbon in the suite – Shiny Ribbon in Real Red – to tie this gorgeous bow. It is attached with a glue dot. I used a tiny bit of Stampin’ Seal to attach the lengths of the ribbon in place. This panel was added to Real Red to create the card.

Stampin' Up! Traditional Wreath 3D card inside

For the inside, I stamped the sentiment using the Traditional Labels stamp set (has dies too!) in Real Red ink, which is also part of the Traditions of Christmas Suite. These products will be available Sep 3 in the new Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower 3D Anniversary Card

Posted on August 9, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! It’s Saturday and a crisp 55 degrees here in coastal NJ. Not the right time of year for these temps, but I’ll take it! I needed an anniversary card and since that fabulous Sunflower 3D embossing folder was still on my desk – I used it 😀 This could so easily be a wedding card, but this is a couple celebrating 30 years of marriage and well, they needed something special.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D Anniversary card front

The card base is Thick Basic White to create this slimline card. After running a piece of Basic White through the Sunflower 3D embossing folder, I layered a piece of Smoky Slate to the back and adhered it to the card front. I took the Sweetly Scripted stamp set and stamped a 1/2″ strip with the sentiment in Smoky Slate. I ran my Stampin Seal along the back of the strip and attached Silver 1/8″ Trim, weaving it back and forth. I added lots of dimensionals and attached it to the card front. The last step was adding two Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. I absolutely love this!

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D Anniversary card inside

For the inside… I used the same Sweetly Scripted stamp set and Smoky Slate ink to stamp the congratulations sentiment to a Basic White insert. And that was it… it’s simple and quite elegant.

Card cuts will be listed below to make this simple, elegant card. Stampin’ Up! has some great deals going right now. CLICK HERE TO VIEW ALL! or click the various images below.

Card cuts for this card:

Thick Basic White 7 x 8 1/2 scored at 3 1/2
Smoky Slate 3 1/4 x 8

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Embossing Folder – Off-set Gatefold Sympathy Card

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

Good morning – it’s Friday and I have two cards for you this morning using the debossed side of paper run through this fabulous Sunflower 3D embossing folder. And, it’s an off-set gatefold card. In a traditional gatefold card, both closing sides are the same width; this off-set means one side (the right side in this case) is more narrow. Let’s take a peek…

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D offset gatefold card front

Stampin' Up! Offset gatefold Sunflower 3D card front

The card on the left is made with a Bubble Bath card base, embossed Basic White card stock, and Bubble Bath ink. The card on the right is made with Fresh Freesia card stock and a layer of embossed Fresh Freesia sprinkled with WOW! Metallic Embossing Powder in silver and heat set with the heat tool. It gives this card a real element of elegance. The sentiment on each card is from the Everday Greetings stamp set die cut with the Tailor Made Tags Dies. White Basic Twine was run through the hole in the tag and tied into a bow. The tag was adhered with dimensionals to the larger side of the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D Bubble Bath card inside

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D Fresh Freesia card inside

For the inside of the card… I had started with a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel to emboss with the Sunflower Embossing folder. After inking the debossed side, I trimmed it down and there was a narrow remaining piece – which I adhered to the Basic White insert. I also stamped the sentiment: Bubble Bath for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second. These were adherred and the cards were complete.

Stampin' Up Sunflower 3D card & evelope in Bubble Bath

Stampin' Up! Sunfloer 3D Sympathy card & envelope in Fresh Freesia

For the envelope… I took another strip of Basic White, ran it through the Sunflower 3D embossing folder, inked the debossed side: again, Bubble Bath ink for the first card and Fresh Freesia for the second card. For the second card I again sprinkled it with WOW! Metallic embossing powder in silver and heat set it. Each was adhered to a Basic White envelope and trimmed to fit. Card cuts are listed below.

Just a word about inking an embossed panel… if you saw yesterday’s post, it indicated a 45 degree angle when running the ink pad along the embossed piece. For these cards, the angle was more like a 20 degree angle and I liked it much better. Practice, right?!

Card cuts:

Card bass 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on long side @ 1 1/4 & 5 1/2
Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4 trimmed to 2 7/8 x 5 14, 1 x 5 1/4, remainder used for inside
Basic White for inside 4 x 5 1/4
Envelope flap 2 1/4 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit

Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Embossing for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 7, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday and welcome to this fabulous hop! We have a challenge today – embossing – which could be dry embossing or heat embossing. I’ve chosen to do the dry embossing with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. I’m also using some of the colors that are currently on sale – the 2025-2027 IN COLORS. Both may be found here

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D EF, colored, card front

I did a fun thing after embossing the Basic White panel.. I used a Darling Duckling ink pad to lightly and at an angle, brush against the embossed panel. There are a couple of ‘keys’ to doing this… 1) lightly 2) angle. Lightly is self explanatory. The angle should be at about 45 degrees. After ‘coloring’ the embossed panel I cut strips 3/4 x 3 1/2, added Foam Adhesive Lightly is self explanatory. The angle should be at about 45 degrees. After ‘coloring’ the embossed panel I cut strips 3/4 x 3 1/2, added Foam Adhesive to the back of the strips 1/2 x 3 1/4 & attached them to a Timid Tiger piece 3 5/8 x 3 1/4. I added a length of Faux Linen Ribbon in Timid Tiger to the Cloud Cover card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 on the long side. I added a Timid Tiger strip 5/8 x 3 1/4 below the embossed. I stamped the sentiment (from Coneflower Celebrations stamp set) in Cloud Cover ink on Basic White then die cut it with Mixed Labels Dies, put dimensionals on the back, added Low Profile Dots in Darling Duckling.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D, colored, inside card

On the inside… another strip of the same Sunflower 3 D Embossing folder 5/8 x 3 1/2. I also stamped the sentiment in Cloud Cover ink from the same Coneflower Celebrations stamp set. This Basic White panel was added to a Timid Tiger piece 3 3/4 x 5 which was attached to the Cloud Cover card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunflower 3D EF, colored, card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the embossed and colored Sunflower 3D embossed panel was attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. DONE! I love this kind of card – could be for a ‘job well done’ to a birthday card! Hope you like it. Remember, these colors are part of the 2025-2027 In Color Sale!!!

Stampin’ Up! Side Flap Tuck Fun Fold

Posted on August 4, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello crafters! I’ve a new fun fold for you today that I found on the Internet and had to give it a try. It has different names but this is what I’m calling it. 😀

Stampin' Up! Side Flap Tuck fun fold card front

I used Balmy Blue for my card base, embossing one of the pieces and another for the tucked in flap. The Berry Burst color comes from the Celebration Express Memories & More Pack and the sentiment from Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack. The stamped flower, stem &N leaves is from the Impressions Abloom stamp set, And the embossing is Glass Garden Embossing Folder (this contains two embossing folders!) The stamped flower is fist stamped off Balmy Blue ink, then the second step is full strength Balmy Blue. The flower center is Lemon Lolly – again a two-step stamp using the same stamped-off procedure as for the flower. The stem & leaf are Soft Sea Foam, following the same two-step for the leaf. Additional pieces were used from the Celebration Expressions Memories & More Card Pack for the strip on the inside of the card, the strip on the inside of the flap and the envelope flap. Card cuts will be listed below.

Stampin' Up! Side Flap Tuck card & envelope

Step by step…

Balmy Blue card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4. Remove 2 1/8 x 5 1/2 from front and trim down to 1 3/4 x 5 1/8 (emboss this panel)
Add lBerry burst layer to embossed panel 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 – set aside
Cut another panel of Balmy Blue 1 1/4 x 3 1/4 and score on long side at 1/2 (this panel can be wider, depending on how you plan your inside, but the 1/2 score remains the same. Burnish.
Add this to the card base approximately 5/8″ from bottom of card back with the fold even with edge (again, depending on the plan for the inside of the card, this placement can be higher but should not be lower)
Add Berry Burst layer to inside of card base 4 x 5 1/4
Add decorative layer to back side of flap 1 1/2 x 2 3/4 (remember that if the flap is wider, this layer should also be 1/4″ wider)
Add Basic White panel for stamping 3 3/4 x 5
On this card I added a decorative strip behind the flap approximately 5/8 x 4
Stamp the inside: Here I used the Impressions Abloom stamp set
Add embossed + layer to left side of front panel with dimensionals… placement is important in order to tuck the flap in between dimensionals: dimensionals should be near bottom of panels to be attached, at top & at least 1/2″ from where flap tucks in.
Tuck in flap & add sentiment to tucked in flap. This sentiment is on dimensionals and is from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack.

Stampin' Up! Side Tuck Flap Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope… Using the Celebration Expressions Memories & More Card Pack, I chose a coordinating piece to add to the envelope flap & trimmed it to fit. Done.. and ready to send to someone special. This card is going to a fellow teammate who needs a pick me up :O) I’m hoping she will love it.

Thanks so much for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day!

Stampin’ Up! Memories & More for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Good morning, good morning. It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve chosen to work with Celebrating Expressions Memories & More Card Pack and the very versatile Greetings from All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I’ve made two cards from these Stamp[in’ Up! items – hope you enjoy!

Stampin' Up! Celebrations Memories & More card front

This card has bold bright colors and I appreciate it’s friendly appearance. It makes me want to know whaat’s inside 😀 I used the Textured Notes Dies tom cut the panels from the card pack- the largest die for the largest image, then the 3rd & 4th largest for the two layered together. For the sentiment panel, the smallest die. The sentiment is from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack and is on dimensionals. Three Shimmer Faceted Dots in Berry Burst bring your eye to the sentiment – and they are from the Floral Charm Suite of products.

For the inside, another panel of the Celebration Expressions Memories & More card pack adhered to the card base. Then I used the 3rd largest die in the Textured Notes Dies for the Basic White panel and the very narrowist die for the Berry Burst background strip. Again, a sdentiment from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack.

Stampin' Up! Celebration Expressions card & envelope

For the envelope, another panel of the Celebration Expressions Memories & More card pack adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. Bam – DONE!

Card #2 is a baby birthday card – could be masculine or feminine and uses the same Celebration Expressions Memories & More card pack. I turned the card to make it a portrait card but still follows the sketch challenge.

Here I used my paper trimmer for cutting the card panels: front is 3 x 4, 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 (Lemon Lime Twist), and 4 x 5 1/4. The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 (Balmy Blue. I added a Bordered Ribbon in Petunia Pop and the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. Panels are again from the Celebration Expressions Mix & Match card pack and the sentiment is from the Greetings for All Ephmera pack.

For the inside… Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, then a Celebration Expressions Mix & Match card layer, followed by the sentiment from Greeting for All Ephmera pack. And on my desk is the cute cupcake with a candle – from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Birthday Celebrations.

Stampin' Up! Celebration Expressions baby card & envelope

For the envelope, another panel of the Celebrations Expressions Mix & Match card pack adhered to the flap. I then used a Basic Border Die to give it some charm and scallop edges.

So, here are the two card & envelopes – both using the same sketch but turned 90 degrees and a few more additions. Would love to know if you have a favorite. To purchase these products, see the info below the list of those participating in today’s hop.
