Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wreaths for Fall

Posted on August 30, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

This card is very fall-ish: plaid designer series paper, a wreath & leaves ~ what more could you ask for in a fall card? So here ya go…

I began by stamping the wreath on a Basic White piece in Soft Suede ink with the Cottage Wreaths stamp set, then die cut it with the Country Wreaths Dies. I took another panel of Basic White and ran it through the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder to use as a background for the wreath. I covered the front of an A2 Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Gingham Cottage DSP in Pumpkin Pie. I took a piece of Pale Papaya card stock and ran it through the Deckled Rectangles Dies, cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock just slightly larger to layer behind it. Because I wanted yet another layer (😁) I used a smaller Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a pice of the Texture Chic Specialty DSP. All of these I layered, centering each one as you see, except the Basic White embossed panel. This I offset, put dimensionals on the die cut wreath and adhered it to the card front. Then I set about the leaves.

On a baby wipe, I dropped a couple of drops of re-inkers in these colorsCrushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie & Mossy Meadow. This is so fun to watch them bleed into one another. I took the small three leaves from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and stamped it several times on a Basic White scrap, then die cut them all, choose several and attached with dimensionals to the wreath and on the card. There are actually seven of them. My last step was to tie a double bow using the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party and linen Thread together. These were attached with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card… I stamped a Basic White panel with this sentiment from Cottage Wreaths stamp set in Soft Suede ink. Then, remember the Pale Papaya cut for the card front? I used the remainder of that piece for the inside of the card, adhering over the Basic White framing it. My last step was to add more of the Baby Wipe stamped leaves from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set – just with a dot of liquid glue. This was added to the inside of the card & voila!

The envelope was extra easy & fun – I just used the same three leaves, stamped them on the baby wipe & onto the envelope, both on the front and all over the flap. Done! What’s extra nice is this card can be used for several things: thank you, birthday, congratulations – all because of the sentiment. Yes, I will have to send it this fall :O)

Stqmpin’ Up! hello Harvest and Plaid for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 25, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello!!! And welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a color challenge today that just seems perfect for a fall card. Here’s what i created for it…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Our color challenge is as seen in this photo…

The plaid is from the 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP and it’s Crushed Curry. The background DSP is Pumpkin Pie in the same 2022-2024 In Color 6×6 Regal DSP. I used it to cover the card front of the Pumpkin Pie card base. And I used the Stitched Rectangles to create the rectangles. Here’s a picture of how I die cut that.

Stampin' Up! Harvest Hello & Plaid w/ Stitched Rectangles. 2

It’s obvious how I held everything in place while I did the Stitched Rectangles die cuts. It was perfect… I adhered these in place with liquid glue – please notice how all the plaids line up just right in the completed card.:O)

The next step was the pumpkin – stamped on Basic White Thick card stock then colored with Stampin’ Blends… Pumpkin Pie, Light then Dark; Cajun Craze, Light & Dark. The stem was colored with Mossy Meadow Marker. The pumpkin was die cut with the pumpkin die from the Rustic Pumpkin Die (which of course coordinates w/ the Hello Harvest stamp set. As a bundle it’s 10% off!) This pumpkin was adhered in place with dimensionals after attaching a bit of Linen Thread with Stampin’ Seal. Here’s a photo of that…

I stamped the small flowers in Memento Ink and colored w/ Stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie and die cut with the Rustic Pumpkin Dies. The flower on the left was secured in place with glue dots and the other two with dimesnionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink as well, on basic White, and die cut with Stitched Rectangles. This was adhered in place with dimensional on the left and one in the upper right corner and a bit of glue on the lower right corner. As a final touch, three Brushed Metallic Dots were added for a bit of glam. I like it! And that was it for the card front.

Stampin' Up! Hello Harvest & Paid, inside.4

For the inside, I kept it real simple… and stamped the image in Memento Black on Basic White card stocl and adhered it to the inside of the card. The image is from Hello Harvest stamp set. This was attached in place with liquid glue ~ and the card was done.

For the envelope… more of the same plaid from 2022-2024- In Color 6×6 DSP in crushed Curry on the flap and the very nice bouquet stamped in Memento Ink on the envelope front. I colored the flowers with stampin’ Blends So Saffron & Pumpkin Pie.

Stampin’ Up! Detailed Pumpkin Dies

Posted on September 24, 2021 by TL's Bright Spot

Talk about detail – this pumpkin has it! It’s gorgeous… and die cut from Copper Foil, even more so. It’s Friday, a day to be thankful (well, every day is one of those!) and TGIF day. I hosted a card class yesterday and will share photos of a few of the bridge cards folks made. Not everyone wanted theirs photographed, so I didn’t. I’ll post those at the end.

I was playing around… no sketch to follow or anything. Once this was die cut from foil it said, ‘use me alone – I’m stunning’ – so I did! Using Very Vanilla card stock and the Stitched Rectangle Dies, I cut a panel, and adhered the pumpkin with dots of liquid glue. (TIP: die cut the pumpkin from the foil used as backing for the Very Vanilla panel.) Adhere this VV panel to the Copper Foil with Stampin’ Seal. With another piece of Very Vanilla card stock, run it through the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere it to a slightly larger panel of Early espresso card stock. Coming back to the Fpol panel… add a length of Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya to the back by running a strip of Stampin’ Seal in the area and attaching the ribbon as shown. Put dimensional on the back of the Foil panel and attach to the embossed panel. Add all of this to the Very Vanilla card base and the front is done!

On another Very Vanilla piece I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set. The sentiment comes from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set in the Jul-December 2021 Mini Catalog. (It has some gorgeous sentiments!) Adhere the VV panel to a slightly larger piece of Early Espresso card stock, then right into the inside of the card. Simply Elegant…

The envelope got more treatment of a panel of VV embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder ~ that was it. I wanted this elegant and simple. Did I meet that goal? I think so, but you tell me.

This bundle ~ Pretty Pumpkins ~ will be around for a bit. The items in the Mini Catalogue can be ordered through Dec. But – fall, Thanksgiving, is well, now. Why wait? :O) Place your order soon so you can put these items to good use. If you do not have a demonstrator and need an Annual 2021 Catalog OR Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog, please reach out to me – happy to send one to you. And when I send it, there will be a Sale-a-bration catalog in with it! That means more FREE items to choose from with every order of $50, or $100 or multiples of that.
