Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek At The Pond Hinge Fun Fold

Posted on January 1, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Happy 2023!I’ve been a bit out of the loop for a bit – hubby had surgery & my attention was all about that, then Christmas & family – and now, here we are. I hope you had a really good holiday, however you celebrate things. Ours was quieter, of course, but still wonderful. We are so blessed with wonderful family. – and hubby is improving every day. 👍🙏

My card today is a sneaky peek at one of the HOST stamp options for the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, which will be available come Jan 5. And that’s just really soon! I’ve also used some DSP that is free with a qualifying order during the Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration period – Dainty Flowers DSP.

Isn’t this a cute, sassy frog? I’m going to name him Alfred – and no, I have no idea where that came from. 😀 You can see there are no flowers on this side of the Dainty Flowers DSP – it looks similar to watercolors – love, love. And the hinge flap has a sentiment from another new stamp set called Sending Support – also FREE with a qualifying order during Jan-Feb Sale-a-bration. I’ve die cut the sentiment with Stylish Shapes Dies. I extended the length of the die cut a bit to make the sentiment fit. But I’ll explain that.

Hinge Flap Fun Fold:

Cut card base 81/2 x 5 1/2 and score at 4 1/4 on the long side.
Trim off 1 1/2 from the long side; score this at 4 1/4
Adhere this strip to the card base about 3/4″ from bottom with the fold on the edge (I adhered it lower and don’t like where it is!) This is now your hinge flap!

Decorate:

Cut panels of DSP: front – 1 3/4 x 2 1/2; hinge flap – 1 1/4 x 4; inside – 1 3/4 x 4; envelope flap – 2 1/4 x 6
Cut Basic White panels: front – 2 1/2 x 4; inside 4 x 5 1/4; sentiment banner for hinge flap 1 1/4 x 3
On the front panel:
- Stamp the frog in Old Olive – this is a two-step stamp, so stamp the inner then the outline
- Stamp the log in Soft Suede – again aa two-step stamp, stamp the inner then then outline stamp
- Stamp the bee in Crushed Curry & Memento inks – CC for the wings, then the body in Memento
- Add this panel to the card front
On the inside panel:
- Add the 1 3/4 x 4 DSP to the far right edge
- Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the Sending Support stamp set
- Adhere this to the inside of the card, covering where the hinge flap is attached
On the hinge flap:
- Add DSP to the flap (1 1/4 x 4)
- Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink from Sending Support stamp set on the remaining Basic White strip
- Die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies: Die cut about 2/3 of length by placing the top cutting plate so it covers just 2/3 of die; run it through the die cutting machine; replace die to cover other end of stamped sentiment, matching or lining up die, then placing top cutting plate just over that area to be die cut, run it through the die cutting machine – and done!
- Attache die cut sentiment to hinge flap with dimensionals
Add Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to both hinge flap and card front

All that’s left to do now is the envelope & it is so easy…

Add 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Dainty Flowers DSP to the envelope flap & trim to fit
Stamp the small bees 3 times on envelope front in Crushed Curry ink using the At The Pond stamp set

Stampin’ Up! Showing off NEW Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP

Posted on December 22, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday! It has been a week today since hubby had total left knee replacement. The week SEEMS to have flown by, but not really.My craft room is upstairs and I keep bringing items down to the main floor to work as I can. And you know what – it ALL has to return to its rightful place SOON – in time for family to arrive Christmas Day. And… I desperately need to wrap presents!!! Does everyone have their wrapping complete but me? 🥴

Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP is new in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog – and at first I didn’t really like it much. But as I work with it, it’s really growing on me. Today I have combined the Fancy Flora DSP with Something Fancy stamp set & coordinating dies, but also the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this paper reminds me of oils and Monet and this embossing folder just ‘goes’. I’ve also used Natural Finish Ribbon, Opal Rounds, and Sahara Sand ink.

What I did:

Cut a panel of Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP (available Jan 5, 2023) to cover the entire front of an A2 card.
Emboss this panel with the Painted Texture 3D EF; adhere panel to a Thick Basic White card base
Cut a length of Natural Finish Ribbon, trim ends to your liking, fold over and add to card front with glue dots
Stamp sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set with Sahara Sand ink; die cut with coordinating Something Fancy Dies
Adhere die cut over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Opal Rounds and the front is done!

Something Fancy stamp set and Something Fancy Dies – (available Jan 5, 2023). These also coordinate with the Fancy Floral bundle. The sentiments are great for lots of different occasions.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora DSP completed card & envelope

You can see I stamped a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set – Sahara Sand ink, then added a strip of the Fancy Flora 6×6 DSP to the bottom. For the envelope, more of the same pattern Fancy Flora DSP adhered to flap & trimmed to fit. Voila! Look at some of the papers in this pack and see if you could create something similar – but a masculine card. I think you can!

If you would like to order any of the products to make this card from my online store or any other items, that’s really easy to do. And remember to use my current HOST CODE 4BGN9HG4 to earn credit from me. Here’s how it works… when you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards.

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek Desert Details Bundle for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on December 13, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to a Tuesday hop with Amy’s Krew! The theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that however…,I’ve created what I consider a masculine card with this delightfully fun Desert Details Bundle available in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, so Jan 5! I can’t believe I’m writing 2023 on stuff – ‘cuz I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

The Desert Details Bundle is very Aztec’y’, different & delightful (‘cuz it is different). I’ve used Designer Series Papers from the suite of products and an embellishment from the suite as well: Delicate Desert 12×12 DSP & Dry-Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP (also 12×12); Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins .

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Celebrate. blog hop 12/13

This doesn’t give a very good image of the center DSP – let’s try another photo…

Stampin' Up! Desert Details Celebrate. blog hop 12/13.2

Here ya go – now you can see the inner DSP a bit better. Look at that wonderful detail! The colors in the various papers of this particular DSP are Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Petal Pink, Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. The polka dot in the background is one of the papers, as is the shiny (this is the Dry-Brushed Specialty DSP!) AND the center paper as well (Delicate Desert DSP). Aren’t they F-U-N? And you see I added a copper trim. And those wonderful embellishments are Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed Sequins. Here’s what I created on the inside.

Here you can see two of the very decorative long stamps – stamped in Gray Granite. The sentiment is also part of the Desert Details stamp set and is stamped in Soft Succulent. The very thin strips were remnants from the copper die cut on the front and I had to use them. Unfortunately the more detailed strip isn’t on straight, but can see how very cool it is.

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful detail stamp in Gray Granite near the edge of the envelope, then added more of the Delicate Desert DSP to the flap. This is just a wonderful masculine card. I love the layers of it and all the detail, yet it can so easily be sent to a man. Let’s take a quick peek at the bundle and a closer look at the DSP used.

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Sneaky Peek

Posted on December 10, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

I played with this new bundle (Dainty Delight) a bit ago, but not like this. This time I stamped all the stamps and die cut all the dies, mostly to see what was in the set, how they go together, how to use. And since I hadn’t really done this to this extent in the past, I found it very helpful.

In the third photo you can clearly see how dies coordinate with a good many of the stamps in the bundle. Remember, this set will be available in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog that goes live Jan 5, 2023! And, in keeping with this set, I used a coordinating DSP that is actually a FREE item with a $50 purchase during the Jan/ Feb Sale-a-bration. And here are those papers.

Stampin' Up! Dainty Flowers DSP, watercolor-ish side

Aren’t these colors just lovely? The paper I used for the card I’m sharing is in the 2nd photo, far left, but another section. The coordinating colors are Blushing Bride, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Starry Sky & Rich Razzleberry. I’ve also included Pear Pizzazz on my card. Let’s take a look.

Card stock colors: Blushing Bride for the dainty flowers; Crushed Curry, daisies, Fresh Freesia for another small flower, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive for the background leaf fronds.

The card base is Old Olive and the stamping uses Soft Suede ink.

Stampin’ Up! Adorable Owls Fun Fold

Posted on December 9, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my goodness… I received some preorder items from the Jan-April Mini Catalog along with a few Jan/Feb Sale-a-bration items and I’m having SO MUCH FUN! Today’s card features Dandy Designs DSP and the Adorable Owls stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog – AND it’s a super easy Fun Fold. Let’s take a peek…

Isn’t this little guy just the cutest! And the sentiment ‘Hoot! Hoot!’ is also from the Adorable Owls stamp set. Actually it’s a partial sentiment… meaning I used some retired Washi tape to cover the part I didn’t want to use. I also used some White 6×6 Glimmer Paper for the upper DSP. The other DSP is called Dandy Designs DSP and is a large pack of 30 sheets of 12×12. The dots are the reverse of the sideways stripes. :O) Let me share with you how to make this fun fold design…

Cut the card base (here it is Balmy Blue) 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and score @ 4 1/4
Cut another panel of Balmy Blue 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 (that’s the front largest square)
Cut DSP:
- 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 (here I used the White 6×6 Glimmer Paper)
- 4 x 5 1/4 for inside panel
- 3 1/4 x 3 14
Adhere panels to the appropriate places with adhesive of choice.
Stamp the owl from Adorable Owls stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White panel
Color owl with Stampin’ Blends
- Light & Dark Soft Suede for the body of the owl
- Dark Daffodil Delight for the eyes
- Dark Basic Black – for the smaller portion of the eyes
- Light Basic Black for the beak + Color Lifter for highlighting
- Dark Pumpkin Pie for the bow tie
Chalk Marker (white) for the eye highlight
Die cut owl panel with Stylish Shapes Dies
Adhere owl to the square panel, centering, with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment from Adorable Owls stamp set, covering unwanted portion, in Memento Black
Adhere to square panel with mini dimensionals. The right end of the sentiment will need stacked dimensionals
Adhere completed square to top panel only
Add Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems in Balmy Blue

For the inside… cut another Basic White Square 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. Stamp owl as listed above & color. Stamp sentiment using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Memento Black ink. To adhere… open card, lay this panel on the upper panel right side down & upside down, centering it on the square. Add adhesive and close the bottom portion of the card on the piece. Bingo – attached properly 😀👍

For the envelope… more of the same Balmy Blue & White stripe pattern from Dandy Designs DSP – on the flap of course. I chose not to stamp anything on the envelope front. This card was sent already… to a man friend who recently had surgery. I hope he likes it – and he feels better too!

Now, what you need to know about this fun fold… this was a landscape design. It can also be portrait. I’ll share one of those in a couple of days 😁

The Balmy Blue and also the Basic White card stocks are part of the 2022-2023 Annual catalog. The Blends, Memento Black ink and Chalk Marker are in that same catalog as is Inspired Thoughts stamp set. The Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and White Glimmer 6×6 are in the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog – as Real Red & White 6×6 Glimmer pack. These are all available for purchase through my online store (see below). If you do not have a demonstrator & need catalogs, please reach out to me.

Stampin’ Up! Santa Express Mem’ries & More

Posted on November 24, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy THANKSGIVING! WOOHOO! HELLO TURKEY 😀 Yum… We will be celebrating with family on Saturday, not today. Our kids are with their spouses families today, then come here to celebrate with us. I’m thankful they want to come and it will be so good to have us all together. So MUCH for which to be thankful. Amen & amen.

What I’m sharing with you today is cards I have made with the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack and Cards & Envelopes. I haven’t quite finished the pack yet, but here are twelve of them ready to go :O)

I’ve used elements from the Santa Express Mem’ries & More Card Pack and a few other items from my stash. The coordinating colors are Poppy Parade, Shaded Spruce, Basic White, Mint Macaron &Pool Party ~ so you’ll see card stocks cut to fit that utilize those colors of card stock. I’ve also used VersaMark ink & White Embossing Powder, Pearlized Enamel Effects (in red), 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine (Sweet Sorbet & White), Deckled Rectangle Dies, Glittered Organdy Ribbon, Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins in Red, Green & White, Snowfall Accents Puff Paint, Wintry 3D Embossing Folder (pine fronds), Real Red 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack, Hope & Peace Stamp set with Shaded Spruce ink, and a sentiment from the October ’22 Paper Pumpkin kit. This is such a great card pack, with matching cards & envelopes. Thank you Amy Koenders for the gift of these for attending On Stage! As I said, I have a few more to make.

If you would like to order from my online store, that’s really easy to do. And remember to use my current HOST CODE 4GWG47JC to earn credit from me. Here’s how it works… when you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose.

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Sympathy

Posted on November 22, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday morning.This is Thanksgiving week and I am just so thankful: for family, for fiends, for a warm home, for grocery stores – you name it – lots. My heart is full. There is sadness too, for today is another sympathy card. AND it’s made with another of the new stamp sets in the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog. The bundle is Dainty Delight and it’s coordinating Dainty Delight Dies (don’t you love having the dies named the same as the stamp set? They belong together!) Anyway – I didn’t use the dies today, just the stamp set – and I took a photo of the stamp set but not the dies. :O)

Just look at those fabulous fonts – I like the cursive mixed with the straight – and these are delicate too. And the flowers are sweet.

I’ve used anew DSP called Dainty Flowers DSP- and yep – it coordinates with this stamp set. But guess what? It’s FREE with a $50 purchase beginning Jan 2023. Hate to wait until then to get these sweet items? Join my team and they can be available to order Dec 1. ! You may do that here.

One of the coordinating colors is Blushing Bride, so after cuting the strips I adhered them to Blushing Bride panel, wrapped the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Starry Sky around twice and tied a bow. On a Basic White scrap I stamped the border for the sentiment using Starry Sky ink and Lovely & Lasting stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment itself using the Peaceful Moments stamp set and Starry Sky ink. I then used the Lasting Label Punch to punch it out, put dimensionals on it and adhered it to the card front. I took the completed Blushing Bride panel, put dimensionals on it and attached it to the A2 card base , Mossy Meadow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink using the Inspired Thoughts stamp set. I then stamped this beautiful bouquet in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Pale Papaya & Light Mossy Meadow. And the floral comes from… Dainty Delight stamp set, of course! This Basic White panel was added to a Blushing Bride piece then right into the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base. And the card was done.

For the envelope I used the very delicate grass & flower stamp from Dainty Delight and stamped across the bottom of the envelope, using Mossy Meadow ink. The flap got more of the same Dainty Flowers DSP. Remember – it’s FREE come January 😀.

Stampin’ Up! Convention 2022

Posted on November 14, 2022 by TL's Bright Spot

Just attended the IN-PERSON Stampin’ Up! Convention in Jacksonville FL. What fun… several team mates were there so we chatted, created and watched presenters. Here are some fun photos.

The photo above is the logo on the stage. The photo on right is our table. Behind the ‘screen’ is the ‘make & take’ we opened later & created. But we were’t allowed to open the boxes at this time. I’ll have photos of that later 😁

And here’s what we were given in our gift box. The stamp set on the left is from the Sale-a-bration catalog. The stamp set on the right is in the Jan- April 2023 Mini Catalog. and is a background stamp that will also be extra fun. The spiral notebook is awesome for taking notes now or… later and there’s a pretty pen to go with it :O). There are a few pins that folks like to attach to their clothes – or trade. AND – there’s a green cross body bag as well.

Here’s me on the right with the new catalogs: Jan-April 2023 MINI Catalog and the Sale-a-bration Catalog that runs Jan/ Feb.

This is me on the left receiving a prize patrol stamp set. It’s a border stamp and I like several of the stamps :O)

And one more photo of me with a Prize Patrol – these fun twines.

Now I bet you are interested in seeing our Make n’ Take… It was cards from the new rather masculine kit, the Timeless Greetings kit available November 15 – tomorrow!
