.Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! You may come from the creative Tara or simply hopped in here. However you arrived, we’re glad you came. We have a color challenge today and when I saw the challenge I immediately went to my DSP stash to see what ‘fit the bill’. I hope you like the card.

Stampin' Up! Sentimental Park Gatefold. hop 3/9

The only color missing in this Designer Series Paper is Coastal Cabana ~ and the paper is called Regency Park 6×6 DSP. I’ve used Petal Pink as my card base with Night of Navy on each of the side panels under the Designer Series Paper. The focal point is the decoration on the belly band. I first die cut the larger piece in Night of Navy, then die cut several flowers: Night of Navy, Basic White and a single Petal Pink. Once I adhered the small flowers to the Night of Navy , I die cut a Basic White piece to add the sentiment. The sentiment comes from Sentimental Park stamp set and is stamped in Night of Navy ink. I adhered this piece to the Night of Navy decorated piece with Stampin’ Seal, slipping it under the flowers. It worked perfectly. I then added a bow with the Bordered Ribbon, which is Night of Navy. After making the bow I trimmed down the center of the ribbon so that it looked softer. I adhered this to the sentiment panel with a glue dot.

Back to the card base… cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, I score on the long side at 2 1/8, then fold the opposite side over to meet it. Sometimes when I score each long side at 2 1/8, there is a gap, and I didn’t want that. Night of Navy panels were added to each small panel, then a piece of the Regency Park was adhered over that. Because the belly band is the show piece on this card, I completed that by wrapping a 1 x 9 1/2 strip of Night of Navy around the card, overlapping in front and securing the ends together with Stampin’ Seal. I added the decorated sentiment banner to the front (right on the 1″ strip) with Stampin’ Seal. I removed the completed belly band to finish the inside of the card.

For the inside, I added more pieces of the Regency Park DSP showing off a Balmy Blue design.on each panel. For the center panel I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink – still from the Sentimental Park stamp set. Then I stamped the flower ‘bouquet’ in Petal Pink ink in two places, surrounding the sentiment. The ‘bouquet’ is also park of the Sentimental Park stamp set. I adhered the Basic White panel to the center of the inside and the card was done.

For the envelope… more of the same design of Regency Park 6×6 DSP as on the card front for the flap, trimmed tom fit. Across the front I adhered a strip of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP pattern in Balmy Blue to coordinate perfectly with the card.

I love how this turned out – the contrasts in color compliment each other nicely and show off the banner too.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on February 14, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday morning and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Appreciate your loved ones, all of them. Send them a note or give them a call, whatever works for you. It’s never too late to let folks know you care about them. Thank you for joining me today – remember, I care about you! And welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group!

Today’s card plays along with the challenge for this week – a birthday card. And it’s a Diamond Flip card that’s fun to do, and did I say easy?

Gosh, the photo is a bit dark… but isn’t this a sweet card? Here’s a photo of it unfolded showing the outside.

And here’s one of it folded showing the inside. Notice the diamond on the left is ‘flipped’, or folded.

And one more photo… this one shows the front again, with the diamond fold to the inside. This way you clearly see how it’s all put together.

Directions:

Cut card base (here I used Granny Apple Green) 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 2 1/8 & 5 1/2
On the 2 1/8 end, mark the center point, on the short side which happens to be 2 1/8.
Fold card in half – on the 5 1/2 score line
Cut from the 2 1/8 score line to the point mark on a diagonal, going through both layers.
Now do the other cut from 2 1/8 score line to point. By cutting both ends at the same time, this makes the ends exactly the same!
Cut a 3″ square, also from Granny Apple Green, and adhere to the 2 1/8 end, adhering just to score line. This allows that end to be flexible.And this is the end to be decorated.
- Add a 2 7/8″ square, this time in a coordinating color or Basic White. I chose Textured Shimmer Paper in Balmy Blue
- Stamp the floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride ink, then die cut with coordinating die from Organic Beauty Dies.
- Stamp the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink using True Beauty stamp set. Die cut with coordinating die using Organic Beauty Dies
- Adhere the floral image with dimensionals to the now diamond. Slip the leaves under this a bit and adhere with liquid glue.
- Cut a banner 1/2 x 3 1/4 and stamp with sentiment from Sentimental Park stamp set, in Merry Merlot ink. Slip banner just under flower and adhere with liquid glue.
- Add bow ribbon with glue dot: Twill Ribbon Combo Pack in Old Olive
- Add Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink (Jan-Apr Mini Catalog)
- Cover floral image with Wink of Stella
Add Balmy Blue panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/8 to card front
Add Awash In Beauty DSP over Balmy Blue, 3 1/8 x 4 1/8

For the inside

Add a 3 1/8 x 4 panel of the Awash in Beauty DSP to the panel on left
Stamp the sentiment using Sentimental Park stamp set and Merry Merlot ink on the Basic White panel (3 1/8 x 4)
Stamp the flower in Blushing Bride ink using the True Beauty stamp set, cover in Wink of Stella then add more Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Petal Pink
Cut a 2 7/8 square from Awash in Beauty DSP, cut in half creating two triangles. Adhere to each inside end

This card fits perfectly in a regular size envelope and I forgot to take a photo! However… here’s what I did… Cut another piece of Awash in Beauty DSP 2 1/4 x 6, add to envelope flap & trim to fit. Stamp a floral image from True Beauty stamp set in Blushing Bride, adding a bit of Merry Merlot to the center with your finger or a sponge dauber, then stamp on front of envelope. Cover with Wink of Stella.

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Flowers Cards

Posted on January 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! Are you the type that plans all kinds of activities for your weekend? I know several folks who do, but mostly we do not. About planning things though – now would be a perfect time to HOST a Stampin’ Up! event. Todays cards are a perfect example of fairly easy, beautiful cards to make for an event. Let me know how I can help you be a HOST.

These cards were made from one of the sheets of the FREE Dainty Flowers DSP . You get it with a qualified order during this time of Sale-a-bration (Jan- end of Feb). From this one sheet I made 6 cards, each with a different sentiment, background color, ribbon and embellishments. I began with a Tick Basic White card base and embossed the front with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. After cutting the sheet down to the size I wanted (each is 3 3/4 x 4 3/4) they were adhered to various colors of card stock (Starry Sky, Mossy Meadow, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry, Fresh Freesia and Blushing Bride). Each was stamped with the ink that coordinated with the background card stock using either Sentimental Park stamp set or Beautifully Happy stamp set. These two layers were put on dimensionals and added to the card front. Bows were next: Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon, Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon, Crinkled Seam Binding and Baker’s Twine Essential pack in white colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends, Shimmer Ribbon in Gold, Fresh Freesia Open-Weave Ribbon, and Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon) ~ all added with glue dots.The last step was the various embellishments: 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Starry Sky and Parakeet Party, Glossy Dots Assortment in Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight and finally Pastel Pearls in Fresh Freesia and Pink.

The inside of the cards were stamped on a Basic White panel in the coordinating ink colors to the card stock, using a simple flower from either Sentimental Park stamp set or the Beautifully Happy stamp set – and the same stamp was used to stamp the envelope front. You can see in this photo, these cards are all ready for mailing… quick turn around, wasn’t it? And the missing card is gone before taking a photo! Great quick project that will have those making these want to do more! 😀

These new products are wonderful to create & play. Want to be able to create this… order from my online store (Click here to go my store) or JOIN MY TEAM with the awesome promotion by Stampin’ Up! Keep reading for more info.

Stampin’ Up! Sentiment Park Bundle for a Thank You

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

Good Wednesday morning! It’s mid-week… have you been making progress on your list? I sometimes make paper lists, but more often the list is in my head. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes not so much. This week, at least so far, I’m feeling good about what I’ve done… cleaning my craft room. My craft room has lots of other products/ projects besides Stampin’ Up!, card making, stamping, paper, etc. And that’s where my focus is ~ what am I likely to do or better yet, when did I last work with this medium? Then the questions is… what becomes of the materials? Keep? Pass on? Or do they go in the trash? Up to now it’s been mostly pass on and trash!!! But now comes the hard part… actually using or completing a project once started some time ago 😀 In the midst of decisions… I made a card for today using the wonderful new Sentimental Park Bundle and Regency Park 6×6 DSP.

Just look at this fun Regency Park 6×6 DSP… but the showstopper is the center banner – l-o-v-e! That is made with the Sentimental Park Dies. And those cute little flower die cuts? Yep – Sentimental Park Dies. The sentiment is from Sentimental Park stamp set. The ribbon is fun too, a nice accent. That is from the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack found in the new Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. And the embellishments? Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots, also found in the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. Do you not have a catalog? If you do not have a demonstrator, reach out to me and we can fix that 👍

For the inside of the card, I began by stamping the floral images from Sentimental Park stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink. The sentiments are also from the Sentimental Park stamp set and stamped in Petal Pink for a nice soft contrast, but maybe are too soft as they don’t show quite enough. ugh…

For the envelope, more of the Regency Park 6×6 DSP for the flap, trimmed to fit. The flowers are from Sentimental Park stamp set – and a two-step stamp set. The filler is Petal Pink ink with the accent being Sweet Sorbet ink. Great combination!

And here’s another thing to consider when joining during this time period – during Sale-a bration for every $50 increment of purchase you receive FREE Stampin’ Up! product from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. You can order product from the current 2022-2023 Annual Catalog or from the Jan-April 2023 Mini Catalog and still get that same FREE product during Sale-a-bration. And this Jan-Feb for Sale-a-bration is the ONLY Sale-a-bration this year!!! Don’t forget that when joining, you automatically receive a 20% discount on all Stampin’ Up! products.

Option 1: The exclusive Boho Blue Mini Machine ($63 value) + your choice of $175* of Stampin’ Up! products for only $129.
Option 2: The original white Mini Machine ($63 value) + your choice of $175* of Stampin’ Up! products for only $129.
