Stampin’ Up! Celebrate for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

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

Our theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that any needed way. I have chosen to use the brand new products in the Lovely & Beautiful suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 23-29. This is an absolutely gorgeous suite & I’m highlighting only a small bit of it.

The background is this fun checkered pattern & I’ve stamped this sentiment from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral. I then die cut from the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper the flower & leaves using the Simply Beautiful Dies. The leaves & tiny pieces are adhered directly to the card front while the flower is on dimensionals as is the stamen (it’s on a mini dimensional cut in half!) I then added these gorgeous Pearlized Faceted Circles that are also a part of the suite. The Specialty DSP was added to a Basic panel slightly larger then attached to the Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals. I made a small Linen Thread bow and tucked it under the flower, adhering with a dab of glue.

For the inside of the card, I used yet another of the Simply Beautiful Dies to die cut this flower from the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP. Before attaching it in place I stamped this decorative design using a stamp from Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. I adhered the flower then stamped the sentiment – again in Calypso Coral ink – then adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

For the envelope… more of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front is this leaf, stamped in Old Olive ink using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set. While this is very springy in color, I’m using this as a birthday card for my friends birthday in December – something non traditional ‘Decemberish’ 😀 For information on how to get the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, see below.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold w/ Sweet As A Peach

Posted on May 25, 2021 by TL's Bright Spot

Fun folds are just that – F-U-N… sometimes more challenging than others. This is a Dutch Door fun fold & really super easy. I’ve paired it w/ Sweet As A Peach bundle – and a few other items – to make this extra special for an amazing young woman. Here’s the card…

In the photo above, it is clear why this is called a Dutch Door fun fold. The main card base has a ‘half front’ with an added panel 🙂 The papers of You’re a Peach DSP are super nice – love the color pairings. Let’s make this card.

Begin with a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & score at 4 1/4. Remove from the front panel 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 & reserve this panel.
On the remaining front panel, adhere a Balmy Blue card stock piece 2 7/8 x 4 1/8.
Add to this a piece of You’re a Peach DSP cut 2 3/4 x 4.
On the reserve panel, adhere a coordinating You’re A Peach DSP cut 2 3/8 x 4 1/8.
Adhere this panel with dimensionals to the card front. Remember the dimensionals are only for the lower portion of this panel!
Stamp the front sentiment in Balmy Blue ink on a scrap of Basic White and die cut with the banner from Peach Dies. This sentiment comes from Sweet As A Peach stamp set. Use mini dimensionals for the back of this banner and adhere to the card front. And voila ~ the card front is done!

For the inside…

Adhere a panel of Balmy Blue card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 to the inside of the card.
On a panel of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 stamp the sentiment (from Sweet As A Peach stamp set) in Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the leaves (still from Sweet As a Peach) in Pear Pizzazz ink, then the peaches in Pale Papaya ink. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card.
Close the card and add three Genial Gems.

The envelope has another panel of the You’re a Peach DSP added to the flap & the card is ready to send. 🙂 Easy, easy.

Stampin’ Up! Peachy Keen

Posted on May 14, 2021 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again… it’s been a few days… unexpected family arrived and oh, my goodness. SO SO SO wonderful to see them, to hug them, to cherish them – IN PERSON!

The stamp bundle I am working with today is called Sweet As A Peach; the papers coordinate and are You’re A Peach DSP. They are so pretty! The b right cheerful colors and patterns of the papers are just amazing. Here’s the card.

I began by stamping the peach from Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on a Basic White panel. On that same panel I stamped the leaves for the peach (Pear Pizzazz ink) and the background circle comes from Watercolor Shapes stamp set stamped in Pale Papaya ink. I also stamped a set of the leaves on a branch in stamped off Pear Pizzazz ink (and that comes from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set).On that same Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment (from Sweet As A Peach) in Balmy Blue ink. I also stamped the same set of leaves on a piece of Vellum in Pear Pizzazz ink and heat set that ink on the back side using the warm setting on the heat tool. With all the stamping done, I die cut everything using the Peach Dies and for the circle I used Layering Circles Dies. While I was die cutting I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut my background papers from You’re a Peach DSP. The DSP was cut from the same panel meaning… I used the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and then the third largest Stitched Rectangle die and centered it inside the larger die, creating a frame – then die cut. I also die cut two stems and two sets of small double leaves from Pear Pizzazz card stock.

Layering: the larger DSP frame is on a panel of Pale Papaya card stock and adhered with liquid glue; the smaller rectangle on another panel of Pale Papaya card stock- also adhered with liquid glue. The layers were put together with dimensionals. The circle was off-set and attached with dimensioanals to the card front. On the circle is the peach, also on dimensionals. (I did adhere the leaves to the peach with a dab of liquid glue before attaching to the circle.) I adhered the stem to the Vellum piece and added one of the small double leaves with liquid glue. This was slipped behind the circle and attached with a bit of liquid glue. I added another stem to the stamped leaves on Basic White and attached double leaves again – and slipped that under the circle, attaching with liquid glue. The sentiment panel got mini dimensionals and was placed on the card front. For an added touch three Loose Flower Flourishes were attached with dabs of liquid glue.

For the inside… I adhered a panel of Basic White card stock to the inside of the card with liquid glue; then used the leftover die cut of the Stitched Rectangles, trimmed it a bit and adhered it to the edges of the just adhered panel.

I did no other stamping on this inside panel – could have but chose not to. The sentiment on the front allows this card to be used for so MANY occasions.

For the envelope, I adhered a piece of one of the You’re A Peach DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. I then stamped the sweet flowers on the front in Pale Papaya ink, then added the center of the flower with Soft Suede ink.

Voila! Love the colors/ papers/ small Loose Flower Flourishes – and the dies are exceptional in this bundle.
