Stampin’ Up! Take A Bow 6×6 Stack & Cut C’mas Cards

Posted on September 2, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

This is a brand new week – and hard to believe it is September 2 already. The summer went by so darn quickly…. and yes, it isn’t ended until September 22, I get that. But somehow, Labor Day, school starting, other programs picking up again – it seems like summer ‘up & went.’ Bad English, I know. My cards today… I have resisted creating the ever popular ‘stack & cut cards’. And that’s on me. Yesterday I did it and here are the four cards I created.

Stampin' Up! Take a bow 6x6 Stack & cut #1 — Take A Bow 6×6 #1

Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #3 — Take A Bow 6×6 #3

Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #4 — Take A Bow 6×6 #4

One of the reasons I have resisted making stack & cut cards is they are so similar – and I rarely make two of the same card. What I did here is use very different dies for the front sentiment panels. And if you are not familiar with stack & cut cards – here’s the idea… take 4 designer series papers that coordinate, stack them one on top of the other and cut – meaning all four papers are cut exactly the same. What changes is the order of how they appear on the card. And I made my cards as two horizontal and two vertical cards. By switching the cut papers it changes the ‘look’ of each card while using all the same papers. Make sense?

How to create these cards… the DSP is Take A Bow 6×6 DSP available Sep 4 in the new 2024 Sep-Dec Mini Catalog – choose four (4) coordinating patterns, stack them one on top of another and cut 3 3/4 x 5. On the short side cut at 2 1/2″, then cut that strip on the long side at 2 1/4″. And the remaining uncut strip that is now 1 3/4 x 5, cut it at 3 1/4″, leaving two sizes: 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 and 1 1/4 x 3 3/4. Keep papers in appropriate stacks. Cut four different coordinating card stocks 4 x 5 1/4. Begin laying out the DSP patterns by placing all of the top pieces from the same pattern on each of the four cardstock panels – using the cards above as a guide. None of the designer series papers that I chose are directional, so it didn’t matter where they were placed. If any your patterns are directional, that will make a difference. Continue each pattern of DSP until all are distributed. Adhere to cardstock with adhesive of choice, then add to card base with dimensionals.

Besides the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, here are the various supplies needed for each card:

Card 1 -Something Fancy Dies, Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon in White, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Christmas Friends stamp set on the inside, Real Red ink and Granny Apple Green + Garden Green ink, Adhesive Backed Berries.

Card 2 – Nested Essentials Dies, Greetings of the Season for sentiments, Christmas Friends (mouse) and to color the mouse, Stampin’ Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green, Adhesive Backed Berries, and inks Real Red and Garden Green.

Card 3 – Greetings of the Season Bundle, Natural Tones Linen Thread in Garden Green, Adhesive Backed Berries and inks Real Red and Granny Apple Green.

Card 4 – Greetings of the Season Bundle, Christmas Friends stamp set, (mouse)and Stampin Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green for the mouse, Red & White Baker’s Twine, Adhesive Backed Berries.

Here’s the envelope for each card + the inside of each:

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

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

We have a fun fold challenge for this Tuesday team blog hop and I’m using several of the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE products from the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. Let’s take a peek.

Stampin' Up! Season of Green & Gold Easy Flap Fun Fold card front

This card is called a Front Flap Fun Fold.n I did a bit of die cutting using the Golden Greenery Dies and Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper (better known as SDSP) and the Graceful Greenery Vellum. The bells are die cut from the SDSP and the wonderful fronds from the vellum.

Card instructions:

Card base is Mossy Meadow 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Layer a panel of SDSP (here I used the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, plaid pattern), attaching with adhesive.
Cut a 3 x 8 1/2 Mossy Meadow piece and score at 4 1/4: attach to center of card, with fold at top of card base.
Cut 2 panels of Basic White 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 & decorate
- Front panel of Basic White
  - I cut two Garden Green fronds and one Old Olive frond from the Graceful Greenery Vellum and adhered to one of the Basic White panels, centering them at top
  - I die cut the single bells from the Season of Green & Gold SDSP, adhered them together then added them over the fronds with dimensionals
  - I added a double Linen Thread bow to the top of the bells with a glue dot.
  - Stamp the sentiment and ampersand sign in Cherry Cobbler ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set (this also comes as a bundle – with dies – but I did not use those for this card)
  - Embellish with several Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems
  - Adhere this panel to the folded Mossy Meadow
- Inside panel of Basic White
  - Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink using the Greetings of the Season stamp set
  - Stamp the fronds detail stamp in stamped off once Mossy Meadow ink
  - Stamp the fronds full stamp in stamped off twice Mossy Meadow ink
  - Add panel to inside of flap card panel – and done!

Now for the envelope… cover the flap in a piece of the Season of Green & Gold SDSP and trim to fit. On the envelope front, stamp a different detail front in stamped off once Old Olive ink. Stamp the full frond in stamped off twice Old Olive ink – and this card is ready for that Christmas card pile.

Demonstrators – for we are able to order Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalogs for our customers, Sale-a-bration catalogs AND items from the mini catalog to preview & play with. Oh my credit card!!!

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow & Labels Aglow Dies.1

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow & Labels Aglow Dies.2

Stampin' Up! Brightest Glow & Labels Aglow Dies.3

You can see I used the same layout for every one of the cards, but different card stock layers & DSP. My card base for all of them is Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. Colored card stock layers were pretty much the same as well… 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 and 4 x 3 3/4. Designer Series Papers were adhered to each panel and they are 2 1/4 x 5 1/4 & 3 3/4 x 3 1/2: Shining Christmas SDSP, Winter Meadow DSP, Joy of Christmas DSP. The sentiments were stamped in coordinating ink colors for each card: Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler, Blueberry Bushel, Lost Lagoon, and Mossy Meadow. I used the Layered Essential Dies for the sentiment area. For the bows: Linen Thread and Simply Elegant Trim in both Silver & gold. The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set. I did not take a photo of the inside, but used the circle die from the Labels Aglow Dies, stamped it in VersaMark ink and heat set in White Embossing Powder.

Stampin’ Up! Shining Christmas and Merriest Trees Dies Gift Card Holder

Posted on December 4, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning! Gosh – here we are really INTO December. Have you decorated the house yet? We are in the midst and it is so very messy with all the boxes of decorations. The tree is the last thing to do… as we purchase a live cut tree. So we wait so it doesn’t become too dry and a hazard. :O)

Today’s post is all about gift card holders – and I have one to share that’s different. I like it!

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas SDSP & Merriest Trees Dies

Love this little gift card holder and I’m in the process of making a few. This SDSP is shiny and of course, two-sided. The panel is 4 x 12 scored at 3, 6, & 9 1/8. Burnish gently. On last panel mark 1/2″ from the last score line at the top of the segment; make another 1/2″ mark up from the bottom of the end panel and cut diagonally.

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas & Merries Trees Dies, cutting lines

Add Tear n Tape where the white strips are. Cut a panel of Basic White 2 7/8 x 3 7/8, stamp with sentiment (here I used the Brightest Glow stamp set and Cherry Cobbler ink) and adhere to second panel of SDSP (between 2nd & 3rd score lines). Remove Tear n Tape & close.

Stampin' Up! Shining Christmas & Merriest Trees Dies gift card.3

Cut about 20″ length of ribbon (here I used Real Red from the Real Red & Garden Green combo pack); add Stampin’ Seal to ribbon about 6 1/2 from one end and for about 6″.; add to front panel and to second panel, centering from top to bottom. Now decorate!

I used the various sections of the Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the layers for the tree in Basic White. I attached each layer with dimensionals and added it over the ribbon – with dimensionals. I used the Silver & Gold Adhesive Backed Glimmer Paper and Merriest Trees Dies to die cut the trim and the star atop the tree and added these ever to easily to the complete the tree. I die cut a banner to add a name with the Tailor Made Tags Dies in Basic White and two circles over the hole in Cherry Cobbler. I colored a length of white twine with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends and tied it in a bow. This tag was attached with dimensionals. I die cut another tag jst as an illustration of where the gift card or check could be placed in the enclosure. And done!

This could so easily be used as a birthday gift card holder or graduation, or anniversary – just change up the Designer Series Paper and decorating the front panel – and there ya go.

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel Wreath

Posted on November 29, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning… It’s Nov 29 and I thought I was just about finished with making Christmas cards – when an order for 10 came in this AM! Pleasing our customers is what we do, right? Here’s my card for today.

Using a festive ‘spray’ stamp from Joy of Noel stamp set, I stamped three images on Basic White with Memento ink – and proceeded to color them: Stampin’ Blends: Old Olive, Light Shaded Spruce and Light Real Red. I die cut them with the appropriate die from Joy of Noel Dies and formed them into a wreath, adhering them only on the ends of each of the images. I took another Basic White panel (4 x 5 1/4) and penciled a 2″ circle, then using Shaded Spruce ink and the pine needle stamp from Christmas Classics, stamped several around the circle to go outward ands inward to ‘frame’ the die cut wreath once it was attached. I cut a length of 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon in Very vanilla & Black and adhered it to the panel with Stampin’ Seal, both on the panel front and in back, then attached the wreath with dimensionals. I tied a bow using the same ribbon and added it with a glue dot at the top of the wreath. I die cut a few pine branches from Christmas Classics Dies in Old Olive and tucked them in various places around the wreath to give it more dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink with the Joy of noel stamp set and fussy cut it with paper snips and adhered it across the center of the wreath with dimensionals. I adhered this completed Basic White panel to a Shaded Spruce piece slightly larger, then to the Thick Basic White card base.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel Wreath, card inside

On the inside of the card, I stamped Christmas in Real Red ink, then Merry in Memento ink – both from Christmas Classics stamp set. The final step was the pine bough from the same stamp set stamped in Shaded Spruce ink a couple of times. This Basic White panel was adhered to a Shaded Spruce – same as the card front – then adhered directly to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel Wreath card & envelope

For the envelope, more pine boughs stamped in Shaded Spruce ink using the stamp from Christmas Classics stamp set – and the card was done.

Stampin’ Up! Two Merriest Trees Christmas Cards

Posted on November 28, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello fellow stampers! I’ve been doing family things for several days – too much FUN – and did not put in time for blogging. My apologies! Now I’m working on the last of my Christmas cards and because I had a piece of the Holographic SDSP already on my desk, that inspired me. I mixed it with Silver (& Gold) Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, O Holy Night DSP and a few other Stampin’ Up! goodies.

Can you see what I did here? I used the Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and the Christmas Classic Dies to die cut the fancy ‘frame’, then used the Holographic SDSP to die cut the tree with the medium size tree in Merriest Trees Dies. The Holographic SDSP was added with dimensionals to the silver ‘frame’ and a star in Basic White was added with a glue dot. I placed a medium size Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center of the star. I peeled off the backing on the fancy silver ‘frame’ and adhered it to the Oh Holy Night DSP. This was attached to a slightly larger piece of Basic White then added to the Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. Simplicity and gorgeousness.

On the 2nd card I used the ‘negative’ of the silver ‘frame’ from card 1 & added it to a Night of Navy card base, die cut another ‘frame’ in Basic White and added it with liquid glue, slipping it in all the appropriate places. I die cut another piece from the Silver (& Gold) Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper and added the die cut tree from the Holographic SDSP with dimensionals. I added a gold Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket to this tree :O) I thought this second card needed a sentiment, so die cut a banner using the Christmas Classics Dies and added the sentiment in Night of Navy ink and the Merriest Trees stamp set. This banner was added with dimensionals and two Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were attached for additional glam.

Stampin' Up! Card 1 Merriest Trees, inside

Stampin' Up! Card 2 Merriest Trees, inside

There is little difference between these two inside panels: card 1 is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink from Brightest Glow stamp set (I love this font!!!); card 2 is stamped in Night of Navy ink, also from the Brightest Glow stamp set. The stars on the two cards are slightly different as well… card 1 is in silver foil with a Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the center; card 2 is also from Silver foil, but no rhinestone is added. Both are on Basic White card stock.

Stampin' Up! Card 1 Merriest Trees w/ envelope

Stampin' Up! Card 2 Merriest Trees card & envelope

On the envelopes I used O Holy Night DSP for the flaps and stamped different sentiments on each: card 1 in Misty Moonlight ink – Brightest Glow stamp set; card 2 in Night of Navy ink – Merriest Trees stamp set. Love being able to use the ‘negatives’ to create a second card! Do you have a favorite? I do, just not going to tell :O)

Stampin’ Up! Saint Nicholas Cards

Posted on November 18, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday! What are YOU up to these days? Thanksgiving is next week; Christmas is right around the corner… I counted my Christmas Cards yesterday and realized I must “get hot” as I don’t have nearly enough – :O(. Here are two cards using Saint Nicholas Dies and showing off the DSP two sides. I’ll be curious if you prefer one over the other.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas Dies, card 2

Card 1 uses Mossy Meadow card stock for the base and Shining Christmas SDSP (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE DSP) plus the fun Burlap Ribbon (from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack.) St. Nick is die cut from the fabulous Traditions of St. Nick DSP using the Saint Nicholas Dies. I added three Festive Pearls under the Saint Nicholas stamp set sentiment.

Card 2 uses the Traditions of St. Nick DSP, Thick Basic White card stock for the card base, an embossed panel suing the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, the Large Check Ribbon, Stylish Shaped Dies circle and a sentiment from Wishes All Around stamp set, and of course a different St Nick directly die cut from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP. I also added three Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins in white that are difficult to see in this photo.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nickolas cards, inside card 1

Here are the insides of these two cards… look at the wonderful DSP!Each of the ‘add-ons’ on the Basic White panel are from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP: the tree are fussy cut and adhered in place with liquid glue; St Nick was die cut from an edge and also added with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas card 1, card & envelope

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas card 2, card & envelope

As you can see… coordinating DSP on the envelope flaps; a sentiment stamped from the Saint Nicholas stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on card 1; on card 2 another fussy ct tree from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP. Same layout for both, yet very different.

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop 11/16

Posted on November 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Time for another Inkin’ Hop. The theme challenge this week is a color challenge – imagine that?! Just look at all these wonderful colors.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Notice all those colors for the challenge? They are in the coloring and the Joy of Christmas DSP. The Joy of Noel Bundle is just so wonderful… I love the words, the decorative stamps and the dies. What I did here is stamp the holly & berry ‘spray’ in Memento ink, twice, on Basic White card stock. I always find it easier to color a larger piece than a small one, so I color it then die cut. Make sense? The coloring is done with Stampin’ Blends: Old Olive (both light & dark) for the leaves, Shaded Spruce (both light & dark) for the holly, Light Real Red for the berries sand a bit of Dark Cherry Cobbler for shading on the berries. I die cut these and set them aside to prep the Thick Basic White card base. I caut a piece of the red plaid pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP and adhered it to the card front. I laid the two die cut ‘spray’ pieces just for placement purposes to know where to stamp the sentiment. After removing them I stamped the sentiment from Joy of Noel stamp set in Real Red ink. I adhered the two die cut ‘spray’s on dimensionals along the top line of the DSP. I scattered some notes & holly from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package. I stamped the word ‘noel’ on Real Red card stock with Real Red ink, die cut them and adhered them directly to the ‘sprays’. As a final touch, I cut a short length of the Large Check Ribbon in Black & Very vanilla and attached it under the spray with a glue dot. Very cheerful & festive!

For the inside, I took a panel of Basic White card stock and adhered a very narrow strip of the Joy of Christmas DSP near the bottom of the panel. I then stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink, still using the Joy of Noel stamp set. I attached three red gems from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins package with a dob of glue, adhered the panel to the inside of the card and done!

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel card & envelope

For the envelope, I took another pattern from the Joy of Christmas DSP, adhered it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. On the front I stamped the berry spray in Memento ink, then added Stampin’ Blends in Real Red to the berries. This card is so clean & traditional, friendly & bright. – I really like it.

Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Magic Card

Posted on November 11, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday! If you’re a demonstrator, today is a special day – OnStage @Home! We learn all kinds of new tricks & tips PLUS we see the next new catalog – the Jan-April 2024 Catalog & the Sale-a-bration Catalog as well. We’ll work with some of the new products we were able to order as well. :O) It’s going to be a F-U-N day!

OK, my card…

I’ve used a couple of products here on the card front: Three-Color Glimmer Paper in Pretty Peacock (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), the Snowflake Magic DSP from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog, Chic Dies from the Annual Catalog (snowflakes), Christmas Classics Dies (to die cut the banner) and Brightest Glow stamp set for the sentiment. I also added a single Festive Pearl to the two die cut snowflakes on the banner. The snowflakes were die cut from a scrap of the Snowflake Magic DSP and layered with a trimmed down dimensional. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark ink and sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder then heat set. It’s so fun to see the embossing powder come to ‘life’ so to speak.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic card, inside

For the inside… on a Basic White panel stamp the sentiment from Brightest Glow stamp set (Annual Catalog) in Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp the two snowflakes in Lost Lagoon ink using the Season of Chic stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Magic card & envelope

For the envelope, the same snowflake was stamped on the envelope front in Lost Lagoon ink using the Season of Chic stamp set. The flap got more of the Snowflake Magic DSP adhered & trimmed to fit. Love the simplicity and fun of this card! Hope you do as well.

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 9, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s hop time… every Thursday our group does a fabulous hop creating cards, note cards, boxes, special items, to meet the challenge of the week. This week is a sketch challenge and I find these the easiest to do for some reason.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday sketch Challenge

What do you think? Does my card match the challenge? I think so! What did I do, how did I make this, what supplies did I use?

I cut three panels of Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP to cover the entire card front & adhered them to the Real Red card base.
With my embossing buddy, I cleared the top panel and stamped the sentiment (Christmas Classics stamp set) with VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder & heat set it.
I stamped the large image(Joy of Noel stamp set)in Memento Black ink and colored it with several Stampin’ Blends
- Old Olive, Shaded Spruce, Dark Real Red, Dark Cherry Cobbler
- Die cut image with coordinating die (Joy of Noel Dies)
Die cut pine boughs (Joy of Noel Dies) from Old Olive card stock
Add Large Check Ribbon to card front with Stampin’ Seal
Add pine boughs with Stampin’ Seal
Add large colored image with dimensionals
Add three Loose Holly Gems & Sequins near sentiment – done!

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel. hop 11/9 inside

For the inside, I stamped this delightful holly stamp from Christmas Classics stamp set in Memento ink, then the berries from the same stamp set in Real Red ink: To color the holly I used Stampin’ Blends Shaded Spruce. All this on a Basic White panel and then adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel card & envelope.hop 11/9

For the envelope, more of the Joy of Christmas DSP on the flap, adhered & trimmed to fit. On the front, the very same holly and berries stamped in Memento ink using the Christmas Classics stamp set. These were colored with Stampin’ Blends for the holly and the berries stamped in Real Red ink.

Choosing the background papers was the most difficult for me :O], but I like the finished product, although a bit darker than I would like. Anyhoo… on with the hop! Use the next button to take you to Carol or clkick on a name to visit another;s blog. Whatever you do, don’t miss a single one – they will be fabulous!
