Stampin’ Up! FREE SHIPPING PLUS Dressing Up the October PP Cozy Christmas

Posted on October 21, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

SEE BELOW FOR INFORMATION ABOUT FREE SHIPPING

OCT 22-24!

Good Tuesday morning. Do you participate in the Paper Pumpkin program – getting this fun box each month to create what’s inside? I do, and sometimes I make alternatives and sometimes I don’t. This months October Cozy Christmas is one of those I didn’t do alternatives, but I did dress up the envelopes and the inside of each card.

For this card… on the envelope – as you can see – I stamped this tree image from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set. Just as an FYI, this also comes with dies. For the inside, I layered a piece of Basic Beige, then added a stamped layer of Basic White. The stamp used is the same as the envelope – Ornamental Christmas.

For the 2nd set of cards in the October Paper Pumpkin, I stamped the envelopes with another of the stamps in Ornamental Christmas stamp set.

For the inside of the cards… in my box was an extra green card base so I used that for the background on two cards then a strip for the third card. For an inside sentiment I used the Christmas Word Collage in Basic White. I highlighted each with Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush. Here they are.

Joy to the World is the theme for the third set of cards in this October Paper Pumpkin Cozy Christmas box.

The same sentiment is stamped on all three of these envelopes and it comes from the stamp set Ornamental Christmas using Garden Green ink. On the inside I used sentiments from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack on a Basic White panel that had been adhered to a Crumb Cake piece slightly larger.

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Garden DSP Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 16, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday and this wonderful group of ‘hoppers’! We have a color challenge today and I have chosen to work with the Peaceful Garden DSP, the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper & a bundle called Ornamental Christmas to create a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden DSP Fun Fold card front

I started with a Secret Sea card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 & cut two strips of the Peaceful Garden DSP 1 1/2 x 4 1/8 and attached to each end leaving equal borders at top, bottom & side. I then took another piece of Secret Sea cut 4 1/4 x 5 12 & scored it on the long side @ 1 3/8 x 2 3/4. Burnish it well so it makes a nice ‘Z’ fold.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Z fun fold, top view

Before attaching it to the card base, I added another strip of Peaceful Garden DSP to the inside middle panel of the ‘Z’. I attached it to the card base, centering it. I stamped a Basic White panel 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 using the Ornamental Christmas stamp set & Misty Moonlight ink then added it to the inside panel of the ‘Z’.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden Z fold inside

I took yet another panel of Secret Sea 2 3/4 x 4 1/4, layered it with Peaceful Garden DSP 2 5/8 x 4 1/8 then attached it to the left panel of the z- fold. I cut a circle from Basic White using the Ornamental Christmas Dies, used Cloud Cover & a sponge dauber to add color to the edges, then flicked it with my Light Secret Sea Stampin’ Blends. I die cut the wonderful star from Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper, popped it on dimensionals & added it to the circle, centering it. For extra glam I die cut the diamond shape for the center of the star from Silver Foil Sheets & attached it with glue. I attached the circle in place on the card front with glue. For the sentiment… a stamp from Peace on Earth stamp set stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, die cut with a die from Ornamental Christmas Dies & added it to the card front with dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Garden DSP fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Peaceful Garden DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. Below is a list of the products to create this card & info to consider about becoming a demonstrator as part of my team 😀

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Happy Thursday – and welcome to our fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today that suggests lots of opportunities. I have chosen to use the Delicate Pines Bundle and Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP to create a pretty Christmas card.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines Christmas Card front

I used Old Olive for my card base and added a layer of Secret Sea then Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP. I added a strip of Secret Sea to follow the sketch challenge. I then fussy cut this pretty snowflake from the designer series paper. I set this aside while die cutting several pine boughs from Cloud Cover card stock. I attached some to the back of the snowflake with Stampin’ Seal, punched a circle with the 2 3/8″ circle punch from Secret Sea card stock to add to the back for stability and to hold the fragile pine boughs in place. I added dimesnionals to this and attached it to the card front. I slipped in more pine boughs where I though the card needed them, attaching with dabs of liquid glue. As a final touch, I added a single red Faceted Snowflake to the center.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card inside

For the inside… on the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Delicate Pines bundle in Shaded Spruce ink then stamped the oh so beautiful pine branches in Old Olive ink that I added secret Sea ink with a sponge dauber. This was added to the Secret Sea card stock panel then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines C'mas card & envelope

For the envelope… more Elegant Pines Snowflakes DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front I used the same beautiful pine bough from Delicate Pines stamp set, inked it with Old Olive ink then used a sponge dauber to create depth & interest. Done!

To me, this is a very masculine card… and I like that! I find it rather difficult to create a masculine type card for most occasions. 🥴 Now… before you get on with the hop, card cuts are listed below as well as a way to purchase these products and other Stampin’ Up! products from me.

Stampin’ Up! Peace on Earth Bundle with Winter Meadow DSP, a Fun Fold

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

Hello Tuesday! What does this day have in store for you? For me, it’s the start of new programs and it gets busy. In the Stampin’ Up! world, there is always something new coming out, keeping the creating environment challenging and interesting. The card I have for you today is a fun fold and so super easy. It also uses the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP which is a carry-over from last year. It’s beautiful. I paired it with a new bundle from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog called Peace on Earth.

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth w/ Winter Meadow DSP card front

The card base is Blueberry Bushel – not a color I use very often, but it looks awesome with this DSP. The card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 1/4 & 4 1/4. The first score folds back in a mountain fold, while the 4 14 is a valley fold.

Each DSP is adhered to a Basic White piece before attaching it to the card base. The decorative pieces on the very front use the Peace on Earth Dies to die cut the banners, the dove, the glimmery stars and the Garden Green leaves. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. I used a sponge dauber & Whisper White to add some white to various leaves. The stars were die cut from Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. The stamped Basic White banner was added to the Blueberry Bushel banner with dimensionals. The other items were attached with dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth Bundle w/ Winter Meadow DSP card inside

For the inside, more DSP adhered to Basic White then to the card base. On the right side, the Basic White panel was attached then the sentiment – so it would be ‘hidden’ by the front banner. About the sentiment – a die cut from Basic White using the Christmas Words Collage dies & embossing folder. Once cut, I used the Misty Moonlight ink pad to wipe over the sentiment. It’s a bit darker than I wanted but I still like it. The blue glimmery stars are die cut with the same Peace on Earth dies and again use one of the glimmer papers in the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper pack.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front… a tree from the Frosted Forest stamp set (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) in stamped off Misty Moonlight. Card cuts are listed below.

Want to purchase these items? For every order of $50 & above from Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September (it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers. Get double daisy patch rewards too. Daisy Patch rewards is my way of thanking my customers for shopping with me.

Stampin’ Up! Card 2 with Patterned Tags Dies

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

Hello, hello… I can’t help it… I’ve been nplaying with the Patterned Tags Dies and I just can’t quit! This is my 2nd card using this Patterned Tags Dies as the focal point. Her ua go…

Stampin' Up! Card 2 w/ Patterned Tags Dies

Can you read the sentiment? Cuz – I can’t read it in this photo… which means I have to fix that… In real life with the card in front of me, I have no problem with what it reads, but the photo is another issue… So, I’m going to just move on and tell you how I created this card.

The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Basic White embossed with the Basics 3D embossing folder called Hobnail Glass Dots, It’s a pack of three listed as Basics 3D embossing folders in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. With that done, I set about creating the focal point… Real Red is layered with Cloud Cover, then seven (7) strips of Peaceful Gardens DSP. (Card cuts are listed at the end of this post.) I wrapped Silver 1/8″ Trim around in three places and attached in back with Tear n Tape. I then die cut the tag using the Patterned Tags Dies: Cloud Cover, Basic White and Real Red, and adhered things together. I added the Silver 1/8″ trim to the top of the tag. I then ran a Basic White piece through the Christmas Words Hybrid Embossing Folder w/ Dies to create several sentiments. I backed this particular sentiment with Real Red and attached it to the tag. The tag was attached to the card front w/ dimensionals – and voila…

For the inside of the card – really simple… I stamped the Basic White with the Gift of Joy stamp set in Cloud Cover ink and Real Red ink, then attached the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Card 2 w/ Patterned Tags Dies card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed the flap using the same Basics 3D embossing folder – Hobnail Glass Dots, then stamped the image using the Gift of Joy stamp set on the envelope front: Coud Cover ink & Real Red ink.

These products may be found in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog, ONLINE EXCLUSIVES & the Annual Catalog. See below for the images to place an order. You may find those items below, go directly to my store to purchase.

For every order of $50 & above from Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September (it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers. Get double daisy patch rewards too. Daisy Patch rewards is my way of thanking my customers for shopping with me. For every single order of $50 or more before shipping & tax, and every full increment of $50 order (before shipping & tax), earn double the daisy patch rewards during this week Sep 3 – Sep 10, 2025.

Stampin’ Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden Christmas Card

Posted on September 3, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday – BIG DAY TODAY! Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog LAUNCH and SEPTEMBER ONLINE EXCLUSIVE RELEASES. I’m sharing a card today that uses products from the Mini Catalog , mixing products. The stamped images come from the Gift of Joy stamp set onnpage 55. The embossed panel is done on Designer Series Paper from the Peaceful Garden Suite of products on pages 32-25. The embellishments are from that suite as well.

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden card front

I began by stamping the various images from the Gift of Joy stamp set in Secret Sea ink. I filled in the images using Pool Party and Strawberry Slush. I then die cut them with the Stitched Shapes Dies, second from smallest square. I added them to a Pool Party strip 3/4 x 5 1/4. Next I embossed a panel of Peaceful Garden DSP with the Peaceful Greenery 3D embossing folder. This gives a beautiful embossing and background. I adhered this embossed panel to Secret Sea card stock, then wove ribbon back & forth for movement and texture. The ribbon is Faux Linen Ribbon in Cloud Cover. I added the strip of Poll Party over top to hold the ribbon in place and added the stamped pieces with dimensionals. The final touch, several Hues of Blue Flowers from the Peaceful Garden Suite.

For the inside… When first die cutting the stamped images, I die cut the squares too large, so in cutting down to the appropriate size, I had a leftover ‘trim’ so used it to enhance the stamped sentiment 😀 The sentiment is from Gift of Joy stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea ink. The gorgeous bow is stamped in Strawberry Slush and is from the Gift of Joy stamp set. This Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card & voila!

Stampin' Up! Gift of Joy & Peaceful Garden card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Peaceful Garden DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, again the cute stocking first stamped in Secret Sea then stamped with Pool Party ink. Since this and the others are two-step images, this works well!.

This is not your traditional bright red & green for a Christmas card, but softer colors that still work. Stampin’ Up! does a great job of coordinating colors for doing just this kind of thing! Hope you like.Shop the products to make this card by clicking the images below.

Stampin’ Up! NEW Bauble Blooms with Regal Distressed Patterns

Posted on June 30, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Wow – last day of June! Summer is moving right along…and fourth of July is fast approaching. Today’s card uses a brand new release (available Jul 1 – tomorrow!) called Bauble Blooms bundle. Here is a photo of the stamp set & dies.

And here’s my first card made with this bundle.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms w/ Regal Distressed Patterns DSP
card front

I began with a piece of the Cherry Cobbler in the Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP and cut it 4 x 5 1/4. I made a diagonal cut approximately 1/2″ in from the top and up the right side, but you can make this smaller or larger – as you desire. I added the larger panel to a Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4. I die cut a border using the Fancy Border Dies and Gold Foil and attached it along the edge. I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink then sprinkled Metallic WOW! Embossing Powder over and heat set. Love the mix of fonts on this sentiment! I stamped two images from the stamp set to create the decoration for the ornament: the leaves in Pretty Peacock ink and the flowers in Lost Lagoon ink. I die cut the ornament and the flowers at the same time, then added the flowers with dimensionals to the ornament. I die cut the ornament top from Gold Foil – again using the Bauble Blooms Dies. I put this in place on the card front with dimesnionals then added a double bow using the Gold Twisted Thread and attached it with a glue dot. These were added to the card base of Pretty Peacock.

I used the reserved cut of the Regal Distressed Patterns DSP to attach to the upper corner of a Basic White panel (3 3/4 x 5). I added another strip of gold foil die cut from Fancy Borders Dies. I stamped the sentiments from Bauble Blooms stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink. This was added to Basic Beige 4 x 5 14 and added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP in Cherry Cobbler was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! Glimmer Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 31, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Thursday – and time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a theme challenge today – Christmas. Love it! It could be packaging or a card or decoration. You have jumped here from the fabulous Tara or simply come here first. However you got here – welcome! I chose to use the Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper to make my card.

Stampin' Up! Glimmer Christmas Card front

This is full of glimmer and the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, plus Spotlight on Nature Dies (one of my favorite die sets) and the Sentimental Wishes bundle.

Begin with a card base 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a panel of Take a Bow DSP on the card front on the bottom 1 1/2 x 3 1/4. Cut strips of Glimmer 12 x 12 Paper 1 x 6, then cutting diagonally to opposite corners. (These are Real Red and Garden Green glimmer papers.) Begin adding strips with the pointy tip at the edge of the card front, attaching just above the bottom panel of DSP. Keep adding until the card front is covered. It will look like the below photo. Notice the extra Glimmer at the top and excess DSP at the bottom?

Now turn over the card front and remove excess DSP so it’s even with the card base. :O) Now create the decorated panel that will cover those pointy tips: Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, die cut circle using Spotlight on Nature Dies; die cut another circle using same die set and Granny Apple Green card stock & adhere to Basic White circle with dimensionals. Stamp this sweet candle/ greens stamp using Sentimental Wishes stamp set & Memento ink. Color with Stampin Blends – Old Olive, Real Red, Lemon Lolly with Peach Pie at the bottom of the flame. Add Wink of Stella to candle drippings and berries. Die cut with appropriate die from Sentimental Wishes Dies. Add with dimensionals. For embellishment, add Clear Ribbon Adhesive-Backed Dots. Add to card front, making certain it does not extend beyond card when closed.

Stampin' Up! Glimmer Christmas card inside

For the inside… add a 3/4 x 5 1/2 strip of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP to the outside edge of the inside of the card. Add another strip 1/2 x 5 1/2, this time in Granny Apple Green. Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Wishes stamp set in Garden Green ink – and the card is complete!

Stampin' Up! Glimmer paper Christmas card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP to the flap and trimmed to fit. Add the Sentimental Wishes sentiment in Garden Green ink and the card is complete! Time to count my Christmas cards… I’m pretty certain I do not have enough :O(

Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees Bundle & Two Projects

Posted on August 30, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

What is your passion? Do you like doodling, creating, doing or making things for others? I enjoy people, most people that is, and I enjoy creating mostly for others. Creating calms me when life sometimes gets out of control. It lowers my stress level when life gets out of balance. Thursday was a card class day and we used the the Decorative Trees bundle. This is in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog and I highly recommend it. This catalog goes live Sep 3 – just days away. Let’s look at what we made…

Stampin' Up! Decorative Trees card front

Talk about Christmas – this is it! Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas Tree, how lovely are thy branches. Hee Hee. This does NOT show the glittery paper! Darn! However… this is a two step tree die cut, using two dies. The first tree is the background and is die cut from Festive 12 x 12 Glimmer Paper in Granny Apple Green. The next layer is plain Granny Apple Green cardstock with Adhesive Sheet applied to it. The Adhesive Sheet allows you to peel back and stick – similar to how we use dimensionals. :O) When the die cut is delicate, it makes it so easy to use the Adhesive Sheets. Now the tree is together, let’s work on the rest of the card.

the card base is Garden Green 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2
layer Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and adhere to card front.
next layer is Granny Apple Green 4 x 5 1/4 and embossed in the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder, then adere directly to the Basic White
next layer is Basic White 3 1/8 x 3 1//8
final layer is Take A Bow 6x6b DSP cut 3 x 3 and adhered to Basic White: both adhered to card front with equal top & side edges
add the tree with dimensionals
add a double bow from Natural Tones Linen Thread in Garden Green – a glue dot works well

The card front sentiment comes from the Decorative Trees stamp set. I wanted this sentiment to have a sheen and have heat embossed in clear embossing powder. Here’s how…

ink the sentiment with VersaMark ink, then ink right away with Garden Green ink and stamp on the Basic White strip 1 x 3 1/8
sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set with the heat tool.

Attach the Basic White sentiment strip to the card front with dimensionals and add Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Granny Apple Green.

Stampin' Up! Decorative Trees card inside

For the inside, I wanted the same sheen to the sentiment from Decorative Trees stamp set:

ink sentiment with VersaMark ink, then ink stamp with Garden Green ink – stamp the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel
sprinkle the ink with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool

Stampin' Up! Decorative Trees card & Envelope

For the envelope…I used the same Take A Bow 6×6 DSP pattern to adhere to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front I stamped the tree image from Decorative Trees stamp set in Garden Green ink – and done!

For our second project, we created an ornament using the Decorative Trees Dies only. Below are the front, attached loop for hanging and dimensionals to hold in place and last photo is the back side, DSP only.

I used the Decorative Trees outline die to die cut the tree from another DSP in the Sep-Dec Mini Catalog: Season of Elegance SDSP in Pretty Peacock, cut 2. I die cut the snowflake/ tree detail die from Nests of Winter DSP to which I added Adhesive Sheet for easy adhering. I also added Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems to two places on the snowflake diecut. Isn’t this paper gorgeous? It comes in Pretty Peacock, Cherry Cobbler and Basic Beige.

If you do not have a demonstrator and need a catalog – please connect with me soon so you can enjoy all the fun products in this Sep-Dec Mini Catalog. And if you decide to shop with me – you may do that here.

Use my HOST CODE when you order for those fringe benefits… Free item of the month with a $50 order: Drusy Adhesive-Backed Embellishments and the tutorial of the month! These embellishments will be ordered at the end of the month and sent out to customers with that $50 & up order!

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More card pack.3

You may have learned that I tend to make different cards and not all the same design. Yep, that’s part of my DNA, don’t duplicate. While the far left card and the far right card are similar, still, they are not the same.

Card 1, far left, uses a red card base in the card pack. Adhered directly to the card base is one of the larger panels from the pack of the very cute bears – or should I say Beary Cute :O) I used a piece of Vellum Basic DSP (polka dots) and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight strip cut the entire width. I added stickers from the Beary Christmas Memories and More card pack to the strip and three Irridescent Pastel Gems in Balmy Blue.

Card 2, middle, also uses a red card base from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. I used my paper snips to trim down one of the card images and added it directly to the card base. I then cut a banner with the Nested Essentials Dies from Balmy Blue card stock. With my paper snips I again trimmed one of the smaller cards to use the sentiment banner. I adhered the sentiment banner to the Balmy Blue one, put dimensionals on and attached it to the card. I added three Festive Pearls in Red.

Card 3, far right, is the simplest yet: Balmy Blue card base from the Beary Christmas Mem’ries & More Cards & Envelopes; a Basic White panel then the bear image all adhered one on the other. I trimmed down this sentiment banner from one of the cards in the pack and attached it directly to the card. As a final touch I added an Irridescent Pastel Gem to each end of the sentiment. And done! Three more cards for my Christmas card list :O) This is such a great card pack and of course, I used the coordinating Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for the card pack. So convenient!!!

Kits are just one of the items Stampin’ Up! does so well. If interested in other kit options, please visit my store here.
