Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Expressions Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 18, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday – and another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have new products to share and lots of fun creations.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

The Thoughtful Expressions bundle is part of the Poetic Expressions Suite of products found on pages 60-62 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. It is extraordinary in the number of dies included and the beautiful stamp set and Designer Series Paper. This is a not to be missed suite! The fun patterns of the ‘sort of’ circle die is just super sweet and there are LOTS of them. Here’s how I put this card together. I chose the Boho Blue pattern in the Poetic Expressions 12×12 DSP then a die that incorporated the design I wanted to highlight. For the background pattern, I simply chose another that coordinated from the same Poetic Expressions 12×12 DSP. In this same die set – Thoughtful Expressions Dies – is what I’m calling a ‘banner’ die, also of various sizes. I chose one that seemed right for the blue die cut and elongated it by die cutting only a portion of the paper, then moved the top die cutting plate and lined the die up as closely as I could and made it longer. I die cut this wonderful open flower, twice, from Basic White, then the leaves from Mossy Meadow card stock (again, cut 2). I wanted a background embossing folder & chose one of my ‘favs’ `~ Basics 3D Embossing Folder called Cross Hatch from the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. (It really comes with a set of 3, each different). That embossed Boho Blue panel was adhered directly to the card base of Boho Blue. The ‘banner’ die was adhered to that and the fancy circle die cut was adhered with dimensionals. The leaves were slipped under the corners and each attached with a glue dot. The die cut flowers were added with a mini dimensional and a 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue were added to each flower center. The sentiment comes from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set – stamped in Boho Blue on a Basic White strip and cut apart. The word ‘enjoy’ was fussy cut around to give it some charm and added with dimensionals. More of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Boho Blue were added – totaling five. And the card front was done.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions bundle, inside

For the inside… I stamped this sweet flower from Thoughtful Expressions stamp set in Boho Blue in the corner. I used my Blending Brush & Boho Blue ink to color some of the upper portion of the Basic White inside panel. I added the rest of the stamped sentiment with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Expressions card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Poetic Expressions Boho Blue Designer Series Paper on the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, the same flower as the inside of the card – Thoughtful Expressions stamp set & Boho Blue ink. Am LOVING this set – and it’s my first ‘play’. So wonderfully feminine and delicate. If you want to learn more about how to purchase this set from my online store, tune in below the names on the blog hop.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Postage Thank You Card

Posted on January 16, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Snow is covering everything and it’s a beautiful sight. I’m glad I don’t HAVE to go anywhere though :O) My card today is a Thank You for a special friend who recently gave me a gift.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Postage Thank You Card

The card base is Gorgeous Grape with an added layer of Basic White run through the Softly Sophisticated 3D embossing folder. This is a FREE ITEM in the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog with a qualifying order. It comes with a stamp set called Softly Sophisticated. Back to the card… I pulled out my Scallop Contour Dies and die cut a piece of Highland Heather, then with my paper trimmer cut a Basic White piece to fit inside and a panel of Perennial Lavender DSP. I layered these together with liquid glue, then used my Wink of Stella to add some sparkle to the butterflies. Before attaching it to the card front, I added a narrow strip of Gorgeous Grape across the center, then attached the panels with dimensionals. The Perennial Postage stamp set has a wonderful sentiment – Thank You for Your Friendship – I taped off the latter part and stamped the Thank You with Gorgeous Grape ink on a scrap of Basic White, trimmed the ends and added it with dimensionals. I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems around the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Thank You Card, inside

For the inside I stamped the remainder of the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White in Gorgeous Grape ink, trimmed the ends and adhered the sentiment to a larger scrap of Perennial Lavender DSP, then to a Basic White insert. I stamped the butterflies from Perennial Postage stamp set in Highland Heather ink.

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Wreath

Posted on January 15, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Monday… This post SHOULD HAVE gone out yesterday but I was on the road and the connection must have failed. Here ya go – yesterdays post, today :O{

Good Sunday! This weather is crazy here in south Jersey: 55 degrees one day then it plummets to 26 the next. Aargh… Just stay cold already! Enough postulating, right? Today’s card is another we made in class asnd it’s a wreath.

I stamped the leaf image from Stippled Roses stamp set three times on Basic White in Shaded Spruce ink. Again I took my Blender Pen and moved the ink around then die cut all three with the appropriate Stippled Roses Dies. I adhered them with liquid glue to a Softly Stippled DSP background. I die cut the single leaf in the Stippled Roses Dies from Shaded Spruce card stock and added it in place. I tied a bow with the Gingham Plaid ribbon and attached it with a glue dot. The three flowers are die cut from Calypso Coral card stock using another of the Stippled Roses Dies. They are adhered in place with dimensionals. This nearly completed panel was added to a Pebbled Path piece slightly larger, then to a Thick Basic White card base. I stamped the birthday sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink on a Basic White scrap, adhered it to a strip of 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 DSP, put dimensionals on the back. The sentiment comes from – drum roll here – Stippled Roses Stamp set :O). The final touch is Iridescent Pearl Basic ?Jewels on each of the flowers and two more by the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Wreath, inside

For the inside… a strip of the same 2022-2024 6×6 In Color DSP adhered to a Softly Stippled DSP and added to a Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses Wreath card & envelope

For the envelope… a different pattern of the Softly Stippled DSP in Pebbled Path added to the flap and trimmed to fit.

The Stippled Roses Bundle is in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog and the Softly Stippled DSP is a FREE ITEM available in the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog (with a qualified order).

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Birthday

Posted on January 13, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday morning. We had another night of torrential rain & winds last night – gads! I just feel lucky we didn’t lose power, trees didn’t come down – you know, like that.

We had card class Thursday and this is one of the cards we made. Today’s card is pretty easy using just one bundle, Stippled Roses and it’s coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. I stamped the rose in Moody Mauve on a Basic White panel, then moved the ink around on the roses with my Blender Pen. A clue or two about that process: try not to overwork an area. In other words, no need to keep going over it. And I just worked in the darker inked areas and moved it around. No need to overthink. For the leaves I used my small Blending Brush and with Granny Apple Green ink, tapped off some of the ink and gently colored the leaves. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just add color. If you think it needs more color pull out those Stampin Blends in Granny Apple Green and add some definition. I definitely used those around the rose buds. I die cut the rose with the large Stippled Roses Dies. I used the leaf die from the same set of dies and die cut three leaves. I added them to the back of the die cut rose with Seal+ and added dimensionals as well. I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Granny Apple Green card stock with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder (a FREE item with a qualifying order from the Sale-a-Bration catalog). Look at that wonderful detail – love it! I adhered the embossed panel to a slightly larger Basic White and then directly to the Moody Mauve card base. I added the die cut roses that on dimensionals and the card was just about done. I stamped the sentiment in Moody Mauve ink on a scrap of Basic White and trimmed it down, added dimensionals and one & done. I flicked my Wink of Stella all over then added three wonderful pearls.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses & Blender Pen

For the inside I stamped the single rose in Moody Mauve ink on a Basic White panel and added that to the inside of the card. You CAN do the same process of moving the ink around with the Blender pen – I did not.

For the envelope… the same single rose stamped in Moody Mauve ink on the front of the card. I also ran a piece of Moody Mauve card stock through the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder and added it to the flap. A beautiful and quick birthday card.

If you’ve been following along, you know the Stippled Roses Bundle is from the new Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine Gatefold card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on January 11, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Thursday and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a color challenge today that’s extra fun – LOTS of color – and it works perfectly with the Bee Mine 12×12 DSP. I’ve also used the Bee My Valentine stamp set and coordinating Bee Builder Punch. Can you tell I like this set? I’ve used it quite a bit lately :O)

Stampin' Up! Bee My Valentine Gatefold front

Oh my goodness… I had such fun working with this Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP. It just puts a smile on my face. The bee is too incredibly CUTE!

How to make this card… Cut the card base (Petal Pink) 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and score long side at 2 1/8; burnish. Fold opposite end of card to meet the folded in side – that is the gatefold! Easy right? Now decorate. I used Basic Black for the background of the DSP, then the DSP layers on both folded in card fronts. And notice, the gatefold is on it’s side, so landscape like after folding.In other words it’s important to realize which direction the card will open for the directional DSP!

I next created the belly band. It is 7/8 x 11 since I had to 12″ card stock (bummer!) But it worked!!! I simply gently folded the band so it met in the middle (wrapping it around the card) and lightly burnished. I cut of piece of Basic Black to cover this ‘not quite meeting together’ strip (4 1/8 x 3/4) and adhered it in place – it’s just for the front after all. I cut the Bee Mine 12x 12 DSP 5/8 x 4 and adhered it in place. To create the central design, I pulled out the More Dazzle 6×6 SDSP and with the Hexagon Punch, punched. It looks like a honeycomb cell :O). Next I punched another hexagon from basic white and trimmed it down a bit. I stamped the sentiment in Petal Pink ink using the Bee My Valentine stamp set and adhered it with liquid glue to the More Dazzle hexagon. To make certain it adhered well, I placed an acrylic block on top while I created the bee.

I stamped the bee body from Bee My Valentine stamp set with Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White scrap, then the stripes for the bee body in Memento ink. I stamped the cute face in Memento ink as well – then punched it out with the Bee Builder Punch. I stamped the antennae in Memento ink – also from the Bee My Valentine stamp set and punched it out with another section of the Bee Builder Punch, adhered it in place. I stamped the wings in Petal Pink ink on a scrap of Petal Pink card stock and punched. I punched another set of wings from vellum and added them over top of the stamped wings, and attached both to the bee with glue dots. I adhered the bee to the hexagon and attached this to the belly band with dimensionals. I added the Hearts & Flowers embellishments in Pool Party. I added a bit of Wink of Stella as well but it doesn’t show in the photos. Cute, cute.

For the inside of the card, I took a piece of Basic White and stamped it with this whimsical ‘line’ the bee makes when it flies. Yep, from Bee My Valentine stamp set. I stamped the sweet hearts from the same stamp set in Pool Party ink, stamped off once. This was adhered in place inside the card. Done, done.

For the envelope I did the same stamping as inside the card and more Bee Mine DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit. I had such fun making this card – just kept smiling the entire time :O)

Stampin’ Up! Love is in the Air for Amy’ Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on January 9, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday! Hope your day/ week is going well. We have a blog hop today as part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew :O) The theme is LOVE – any way we want to interpret that and I’ve created a ‘missing middle’ card.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine DSP.Missing Middle card

Isn’t this fun? In that open area I’ve stamped my sentiment – it’s where the card front ‘middle’ is missing :O)

This is so incredibly easy to make and the fun part is, the ‘missing middle’ can be larger or smaller, and the connecting section can also be different. I started with a 4 1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White and scored it at 5 1/2. I removed two sections from one end 2 x 4 1/4. Since the theme is LOVE and I really like this plaid paper of the Bee Mine DSP, that became the two focal sections and the bee with the hearts became my center focal point.

Card cuts:

Sweet Sorbet: 1 7/8 x 4 1/8 (cut 2); 1 3/8 x 4 1/8 – add to Thick Basic White sections appropriately
Bee Mine 12 x 12 DSP: 1 3/4 x 4 (cut 2- one in plaid, one w/ bee); 1 1/4 x 4 in plaid – adhere to proper sections

Directions:

Fold card panel on score line and line up larger plaid panel even with bottom of card
Put dimensionals on backside of the bee panel, both top & bottom, attach to closed card front approximately 1/2″ from left edge and equidistant top & bottom – & voila! In retrospect, it should probably have been closer to the left edge. I tried to move it over but it was adhered tightly!
With the Bee My Valentine stamp set, stamp the sentiment in Memento ink with the card in the closed position
Add embellishments – here they are the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers in Sweet Sorbet

Stampin' Up! Missing middle card view from inside

Stampin' Up! Middle Missing card sentiment panel

In the far left photo you can see how the top portion of the card looks from the inside. In the right photo is the sentiment panel. I attached another plaid piece of the Bee Mine DSP (5/8 x 4) to a Sweet Sorbet (3/4 x 4 1/8) and then to the inside of the card. This brings the color to the inside of the card and provides a ‘connecting color scheme’ to the card. Fun, fun!

Stampin' Up! Missing Middle Bee Mine DSP card

For the envelope, more of the Bee Mine DSP on the flap and a fussy cut bee peeking around the corner adhered to the front. :O) Love, love.

Stampin’ Up! Perennial Lavender Suite

Posted on January 8, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning! I have a pretty card for you today using many of the products in the Perennial Lavender Suite and a few others as well.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite, card front

I love the softness & femininity of this card. Perennial Lavender DSP is the focal point, along with dies used from Painted Lavender Dies die cut with card stock from: Lost Lagoon, Gorgeous Grape and Pretty Peacock. Scallop Contour Dies in Basic White form the scalloped left edge and the sentiment banner. The sentiment is from Perennial Postage stamp set. stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. The embellishments are Purple Fine Shimmer Gems as part of the suite of products. I also added a double Linen Thread bow attached with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suie, card inside

For the inside of the card I used another panel of the Perennial Lavender DSP for the background of the Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf image in Pool Party ink using the Painted Lavender stamp set. Because the Painted Lavender Dies die cut two of these flowers (the Gorgeous Grape) I adhered it with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Suite card & envelope

For the envelope, another panel of Perennial Lavender DSP for the flap and a very sweet flower stamp in Gorgeous Grape from the Painted Lavender stamp set. I love that I can use this card for many occasions: birthday, thinking of you, get well, just a note – you name it. Versatility is the key!

Stampin’ Up! Big Hugs with Perennial Postage

Posted on January 6, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday – shop, shop, shop til you drop. Have you done all that? The Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalogs went live Jan 4. If you do not have those catalogs or a demonstrator, please reach out to me and we’ll get those to you ‘likety split’.

My card today is another one of those that can be used for several different occasions: love you, thinking of you, congratulations, feel better soon, even Valentines – all that.

Stampin' Up! Big Hugs w/ Perennial Postage

To make this card, I used a Sweet Sorbet card base and covered the front with this wonderful stripe from Bee Mine DSP. I then die cut the Basic White with Scallop Contour Dies and cut another coordinating panel of Bee Mine DSP to fit inside the ‘stitch’ lines of the die cut. These were both adhered to the card front with liquid glue. With the Stitched Shape Dies, I created a circle from Basic White. I punched the heart using the Country Bouquet Punch ‘cuz I like the shape of the heart :O). I stamped the sentiment first with VersaMark then sprinkled it with white embossing powder then heat set it. The sentiment comes from Perennial Postage stamp set. I adhered this with liquid glue to the circle and the circle to the card front with dimensionals. I tied a double bow with White Bakers Twine and attached it with a glue dot.

For the inside… I had a scrap of the stripe from Bee Mine DSP and simply added it to the top of the Basic White panel, then punched several hearts – again with the Country Bouquet Punch. The Basic White heart is from a scrap that had been embossed with the Tile 3D embossing folder and i really liked how it made the heart sort of ‘come alive’. These were adhered with liquid glue and the inside was complete.

For the envelope, another punched heart with the Country Bouquet Punch for the envelope front and another piece of the stripe from Bee Mine DSP for the flap – and done!

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!

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.

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)
