Stampin’ Up! Showing off NEW Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP

Posted on December 22, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday! It has been a week today since hubby had total left knee replacement. The week SEEMS to have flown by, but not really.My craft room is upstairs and I keep bringing items down to the main floor to work as I can. And you know what – it ALL has to return to its rightful place SOON – in time for family to arrive Christmas Day. And… I desperately need to wrap presents!!! Does everyone have their wrapping complete but me? 🥴

Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP is new in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog – and at first I didn’t really like it much. But as I work with it, it’s really growing on me. Today I have combined the Fancy Flora DSP with Something Fancy stamp set & coordinating dies, but also the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this paper reminds me of oils and Monet and this embossing folder just ‘goes’. I’ve also used Natural Finish Ribbon, Opal Rounds, and Sahara Sand ink.

What I did:

Cut a panel of Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP (available Jan 5, 2023) to cover the entire front of an A2 card.
Emboss this panel with the Painted Texture 3D EF; adhere panel to a Thick Basic White card base
Cut a length of Natural Finish Ribbon, trim ends to your liking, fold over and add to card front with glue dots
Stamp sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set with Sahara Sand ink; die cut with coordinating Something Fancy Dies
Adhere die cut over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Opal Rounds and the front is done!

Something Fancy stamp set and Something Fancy Dies – (available Jan 5, 2023). These also coordinate with the Fancy Floral bundle. The sentiments are great for lots of different occasions.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora DSP completed card & envelope

You can see I stamped a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set – Sahara Sand ink, then added a strip of the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP to the bottom. For the envelope, more of the same pattern Fancy Flora DSP adhered to flap & trimmed to fit. Voila! Look at some of the papers in this pack and see if you could create something similar – but a masculine card. I think you can!

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Sneaky Peek

Posted on December 10, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

I played with this new bundle (Dainty Delight) a bit ago, but not like this. This time I stamped all the stamps and die cut all the dies, mostly to see what was in the set, how they go together, how to use. And since I hadn’t really done this to this extent in the past, I found it very helpful.

In the third photo you can clearly see how dies coordinate with a good many of the stamps in the bundle. Remember, this set will be available in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog that goes live Jan 5, 2023! And, in keeping with this set, I used a coordinating DSP that is actually a FREE item with a $50 purchase during the Jan/ Feb Sale-a-bration. And here are those papers.

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers DSP, watercolor-ish side

Aren’t these colors just lovely? The paper I used for the card I’m sharing is in the 2nd photo, far left, but another section. The coordinating colors are Blushing Bride, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Starry Sky & Rich Razzleberry. I’ve also included Pear Pizzazz on my card. Let’s take a look.

Stampin' Up! Dainty Delight Sneaky Peek.completed set

Card stock colors: Blushing Bride for the dainty flowers; Crushed Curry, daisies, Fresh Freesia for another small flower, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive for the background leaf fronds. The ribbon is Old Olive Twill Ribbon from the Combo Pack & Linen Thread. I also added some bling: Iridescent Pearls, Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls and Brushed Brass Butterflies. The card base is Old Olive and the stamping uses Soft Suede ink.

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold

Posted on December 9, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my goodness… I received some preorder items from the Jan-April Mini Catalog along with a few Jan/Feb Sale-a-bration items and I’m having SO MUCH FUN! Today’s card features Dandy Designs DSP and the Adorable Owls stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog – AND it’s a super easy Fun Fold. Let’s take a peek…

Isn’t this little guy just the cutest! And the sentiment ‘Hoot! Hoot!’ is also from the Adorable Owls stamp set. Actually it’s a partial sentiment… meaning I used some retired Washi tape to cover the part I didn’t want to use. I also used some White 6×6 Glimmer Paper for the upper DSP. The other DSP is called Dandy Designs DSP and is a large pack of 30 sheets of 12×12. The dots are the reverse of the sideways stripes. :O) Let me share with you how to make this fun fold design…

Cut the card base (here it is Balmy Blue) 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and score @ 4 1/4
Cut another panel of Balmy Blue 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (that’s the front largest square)
Cut DSP:
- 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (here I used the White 6×6 Glimmer Paper)
- 4 x 5 1/4 for inside panel
- 3 1/4 x 3 14
Adhere panels to the appropriate places with adhesive of choice.
Stamp the owl from Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White panel
Color owl with Stampin’ Blends
- Light & Dark Soft Suede for the body of the owl
- Dark Daffodil Delight for the eyes
- Dark Basic Black – for the smaller portion of the eyes
- Light Basic Black for the beak + Color Lifter for highlighting
- Dark Pumpkin Pie for the bow tie
Chalk Marker (white) for the eye highlight
Die cut owl panel with Stylish Shapes Dies
Adhere owl to the square panel, centering, with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Adorable Owls stamp set, covering unwanted portion, in Memento Black
Adhere to square panel with mini dimensionals. The right end of the sentiment will need stacked dimensionals
Adhere completed square to top panel only
Add Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems in Balmy Blue

For the inside… cut another Basic White Square 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. Stamp owl as listed above & color. Stamp sentiment using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Memento Black ink. To adhere… open card, lay this panel on the upper panel right side down & upside down, centering it on the square. Add adhesive and close the bottom portion of the card on the piece. Bingo – attached properly 😀👍

For the envelope… more of the same Balmy Blue & White stripe pattern from Dandy Designs DSP – on the flap of course. I chose not to stamp anything on the envelope front. This card was sent already… to a man friend who recently had surgery. I hope he likes it – and he feels better too!

Now, what you need to know about this fun fold… this was a landscape design. It can also be portrait. I’ll share one of those in a couple of days 😁

The Balmy Blue and also the Basic White card stocks are part of the 2022-2023 Annual catalog. The Blends, Memento Black ink and Chalk Marker are in that same catalog as is Inspired Thoughts stamp set. The Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and White Glimmer 6×6 are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog – as Real Red & White 6×6 Glimmer pack. These are all available for purchase through my online store (see below). If you do not have a demonstrator & need catalogs, please reach out to me.

Stampin’ Up! Textured Chic DSP and More for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 8, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday to you! Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop with a fun sketch challenge.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 12/8

Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge 12/8

Time is quickly nearing Christmas – how many days? I’m not going to count, it’s too scary! We have our tree up & decorated and I finally found the tree skirt :O) I put it away in a different place last year but couldn’t remember just where that was :O( We don’t usually put our tree up quite so early (it’s fresh cut) but hubby is having knee replacement surgery next week and everything will go on hold for a bit. I’m hoping to continue posting regularly but we’ll see. My goal is to prep ahead so I can give him all the time necessary, but … there’s always a but.

Today’s card uses two main stamp bundles: both the Seasoned Chic with Chic Dies and Christmas Banners with Christmas Banners Dies.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.1

The card base is a typical A2 tent card on it’s side with Evening Evergreen. I’ve layered a panel of Textured Chic 12 x 12 DSP on Basic White and adhered it to the card front, leaving a border both top & bottom. Next I used the splendid Chic Dies to die cut snowflakes from Basic White and Soft Succulentcard stocks. Then I stamped the banner on Basic White with Soft Succulent ink and the Christmas Banners stamp set. The words on the banner are also Soft Succulent ink and come from the Christmas Banner stamp set. I attached the banner to the card front with dimensionals then added the snowflakes with liquid glue, glue dots or dimensionals.nFor a bit of extra glam and to bring in another color, I used the Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and love the subtle contrast!

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.2

For the inside, snowflakes from the Season of Chic stamp set stamped randomly in Soft succulent ink. The sentiment comes from the Season of Chic stamp set and is in Evening Evergreen ink. All this on a Basic White panel then secured into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic.Blog Hop 12/8.3

For the envelope, a coordinating panel of the Textured Chic DSP for the flap and a few more snowflakes from Season of Chic stamp set in Soft Succulent ink on the front – and done! This card has a real elegance and simplicity at the same time: soft colors and not too fussy. This would an easy card to replicate if necessary.

Now – time to move along the hop to the fabulous Carol Buckalew. Either click on the ‘next’ button or on a name if you prefer to hop around.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Bundle Thinking of You

Posted on December 6, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Tuesday! I’ve a fun card for you today that is pretty quick & easy – and we all like quick & easy, especially now. We had a Team Meeting Sunday afternoon and this card was demonstrated by Tara Carpenter. I’ve used different colors, but the idea is the same.

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Thinking of You.1

I like that the colors are rather soft for the die cut. And I’m calling this particular die cut ‘mesh’ or ‘netting’, cuz that’s what I think of when I see it :O) – using the Chic Dies of course And I die cut it from Textured Chic 12 x 12 DSP. I set that aside and die cut a few of the outline flowers from the Chic Dies from 12 x 12 Foil Sheets – in Gold. Next I ran a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Very Vanilla card stock through the Timeworn Type 3D embossing Folder and began assembling. Thick Very Vanilla for the tent card base, layer of Mango Melody card stock, then the embossed panel. Just a few dabs of liquid glue to hold the ‘mesh’ to the embossed panel. Stamp the sentiment from Season of Chic stamp set in Petal Pink ink and die cut with the smallest of the Deckled Rectangle Dies and adhere with dimensionals. I again used dabs of liquid glue to attach the two outline floral dies to the sentiment banner. For a final touch, three Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots in Rose Gold were added. And the card front was done!

Stampin'n Up! Season of Chic Thinking of you.inside

I kept the inside very simple – another of the floral outline die cuts from the Chic Dies was added to a panel of Very Vanilla card stock, and that was added to the inside of the card. Done. This card is going to a friend whose husband had a stroke recently, son lots of support needed for both of them!

Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Thinking of you.3

See the Textured Chic 12 x 12 DSP on the envelope flap? That is the very same DSP I used to die cut the ‘mesh’ on the card front! Remember, Season of Chic and Chic Dies – a great bundle!!!

If you would like to order any of the products to make this card from my online store, that’s really easy to do. And remember to use my current HOST CODE 4BGN9HG4 to earn credit from me.

Stampin’ Up Wisteria Wishes Birthday

Posted on December 2, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Wow – Dec 1 was amazing, wasn’t it? All the goodies Stampin’ Up is offering in the LAST CHANCE SALE and the CLEARANCE RACK – it’s hard to say ‘no’. PLUS there is the ability to order the Fitting Florets Collection and well – lots going on in the Stampin’ Up! world.

So here I am with a different kind of card for you… I’m working with the Wisteria Wishes stamp set and coordinating Wisteria Dies. I’ve also included some stampin and a bit of the 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper. The color I’m using is Orchid Oasis, cuz, wisteria is often purple, right? And glimmer paper is well, just sparkly & fun. I’ve also done some stamping. Let’s take a look.

The card base is Thick Basic White. The next layer is the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Glimmer Paper in Orchid Oasis. The next layer is Basic White that I ran through the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. Doesn’t it remind you of a brick wall? It does to me! Then I did some stamping and die cutting.

Stamping: In the background I hope you see the wisteria from Wisteria Wishes stamp set, in a different shade than the glimmer paper~ that’s a two-step stamp: first the background stamped in Highland Heather ink, then the detail stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink, then die cut with the Wisteria Dies. I also stamped the wisteria leaves/branch from Wisteria Wishes stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink and used a sponge dauber to add some depth with Old Olive ink. I did some additional die cutting with the Wisteria Dies: leaves/branch from Pear Pizzazz card stock & three more wisteria, this time from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Glimmer Paper in Orchid Oasis. Because the Glimmer paper is graduated in shade, it provides a really nice variance/ difference in each of those particular die cuts. The leaves/ branch die cuts are adhered with liquid glue; the stamped wisteria are adhered with dimensionals; the glimmer paper wisteria are added with liquid glue. I love how many of the leaves are loose to create depth ands the glimmer paper wisteria are free-flowing at the ends – also to create depth. The sentiment banner is stamped in Highland Heather ink on a Basic White strip using the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I trimmed the end into a ‘banner tip’ then added it to the card front with dimenstionals. Final step… the three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Orchid Oasis.

For the inside, I chose another branch die cut from the Wisteria Dies and Pear Pizzazz card stock, slightly trimmed, to adhere around the stamped Highland Heather ink sentiment from Happiness Abounds stamp set. At the bottom is a scrap of the leftover 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper in Orchid Oasis.

For the envelope… a 2 1/4 x 6 strip of the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP for the envelope flap, trimmed to fit. The sentiment is from Happiness Abounds and stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. I made a bit of a ‘bluber’ (mistake) when I stamped, so used the Gorgeous Grape Marker to create this fun design around it to look like a postage stamp 🥴 And it’s ready for mailing! What do you think? Do you like?

Stampin’ Up! Birthday with By the Bay Specialty DSP

Posted on November 26, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello – ’tis Sat and our families are here to celebrate Thanksgiving. We share with in-laws :O)and they come here after. It works. Today’s card is a shaker card for a special birthday young man. I’ve used a couple of new items: two new to me & one new in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog: the Let’s Celebrate Embossing Folder and the Fabulous Frames Dies are both new items for me. The By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP is also new to Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog and is gorgeous!

Stampin' Up! By the Bay 6x6 Sp DSP Shaker card

This DSP looks so ‘beachy’ to me so I’ve used Sahara Sand card stock to create the frame using the Fabulous Frames Dies. And the Let’s Celebrate Embossing Folder was used for just this sentiment. I cut it way down just for this. I should have taken more pictures 😖… Anyhoo… the By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP was adhered to a Sahara Sand card base so it encompassed the full front of the card. To secure the window sheet to the inside of the frame, I used Tear n’ Tape all around the frame, then put the window sheet in place, then the Foam Adhesive strips were adhered to that. I attached the ‘frame’ to the card front just at the bottom, then sprinkled in a few Effervescent Elements and secured the rest of the frame in place. The sentiment was adhered just to the frame. Very masculine, don’t you think?

Stampin' Up! By the Bay 6x6 Specialty DSP Shaker card.inside

I kept the inside really simple ‘cuz I have some special things I want to write. 😏 I adhered a strip of the very same By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP along the left side to a Basic White panel – and called it done. I kept the envelope simple as well – another strip of the same By the Bay 6×6 Specialty DSP, just wider, to the left edge of the envelope. I really do like the masculinity of this card.

Stampin’ Up! Hope & Peace + DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 10, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the hop! We have a sketch challenge today that has all kinds of possibilities. I hope you too will find the hop inspiring and want to join our fun.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Hope & Peace + DSP, Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 11/10

My card pretty much follows the sketch, don’t you think? This particular piece of DSP is from Painted Christmas DSP and I love the softness of this background. I layered this panel on a Basic White piece and adhered it to the Garden Green card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink using the Hope & Peace stamp set from the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog. It was stamped on Basic White and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I had another scrap of the Painted Christmas DSP and cut it to 3/4″ x 2 12. I put this in place on the card front then added the stamped circle die cut over it using dimensionals. For a bit of added color and glam I added the Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins. All the half dimensionals used on the back of the circle hold both the circle & the strip in place 😏

Stampin' Up! Hope & Peace + Merriest Moments.2

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet ink on the Basic White inside panel. I pulled out the Merriest Moments stamp set which is a carry-over and stamped the holly leaves in Garden Green ink.I added more of the Adhesive Backed Seasonal Sequins in Sweet Sorbet and really like the added touch.

Stampin' UP! Hope & Peace + DSP. blog hop 11/10

For the envelope, more of the same Painted Christmas DSP on the envelope flap. For the front of the envelope I stamped the holly leaves from Merriest Moments stamp set in Garden Green ink, then stamped the berries from the same stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink ~ and the card/ envelope was done!
