Stampin’ Up! Fancy Flora Tent Fun Fold Sympathy

Posted on January 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome back to 2023 – January 2! Which means… by January 3 please let me know your desire for a Paper Share… 😀 I’ll add that information below as a refresher for you. Today’s card is unfortunately a sympathy card and will go out immediately. I never seem to have enough of these, ugh. It is also a tent fold.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora Tent Fun Fold Sympathy

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora Tent Fun Fold Sympathy.2

Do you see in photo 2 how the tent fold looks? It is so incredibly simple – an added piece of card stock adhered to the front & card back.

Isn’t this Fancy Flora DSP just wonderful? This particular pattern is Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, & shades of both. I’ve added a bit of Shimmer Ribbon in Gold behind the sentiment banner. The sentiment comes from Something Fancy & is stamped in Basic Gray ink on Basic White. It was die cut with the Something Fancy Dies. I also used a retired product called Red & Green Adhesive-Backed Pearls in Silver.

Now, let’s take a look at the back of the card.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora Tent Fun Fold Sympathy.3

I’ve kept with the same colors: Daffodil Delight & Basic Gray, stamping each of the flower detail as the second step. The flowers are just stunning to me with the magic of the detail. I stamped the leaf images in Soft Succulent – all on Basic White and matted it on a Basic Gray panel then adhered it to the back.

Stampin' Up! Fancy Flora Tent Fun Fold Sympathy.4

The last is the envelope… more of the Fancy Flora DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I stamped these sweet small flowers, again using Daffodil Delight as the fill and Basic Gray for the detail.The flowers and leaves all are from Two-Tone Flora – just a beautiful stamp set. And while I didn’t use the dies for this card, it does have coordinating dies – 10% off when purchasing the bundle. That is also available coming January 5, 2023. If you don’t have a Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog, please let me know so I can send one ASAP! And of course I’ll include the Sale-a-bration catalog as well – it’s good Jan-Feb and has lots of fun products FREE with every $50-$100 purchase. YAY!

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! 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.

Stampin' Up! Dainty Delight Sneaky Peek. card front

Stampin' Up! Dainty delight Sneaky Peek,card inside

Stampin' Up! Dainty Delight Sneaky Peek.completed set

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 ribbon is Old Olive Twill Ribbon from the Combo Pack & Linen Thread. I also added some bling: Iridescent Pearls, Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls and Brushed Brass Butterflies. The card base is Old Olive and the stamping uses Soft Suede ink.
