Stampin’ Up! Take To The Sky Suite for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on May 14, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

WELCOME TO AMY’S INKIN’ KREW TEAM BLOG HOP! We have a theme challenge for today – ‘for the boys/ men’ and we can interpret that any way we like. I chose to use the Take To The Sky Suite for the challenge.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Team Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Birthday card front

The Take to T/he Sky 12×12 DSP is so perfect for the flyers in our lives or for anyone really. Here’s what I did for this card…

The card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Smoky Slate card stock scored at 4 1/4. I added the plaid pattern in Smoky Slate from the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP cut 4 14 x 5 1/2. I then took a design from the Take to The Sky 12×12 cut 3 x 4 and added it to Cajun Craze card stock cut 3 1/8 x 4 1/8. This got dimensionals and was attached to the card front, centering it. I stamped an airplane in Blueberry Bushel ink from the Adventurous Sky stamp set on a Basic White scrap and die cut it with a coordinating die from Adventurous Sky Dies. I used a Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencil to add some color to the plane, then moved the color around with a Blender Pen. I added the plane with a couple of small dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment on a Basic White scrap with Night of Navy ink, cut it apart and adhered it to a 1/4″ strip of Basic White, cut the end, added trimmed dimensionals and attached it to the card front, making it look as though the plane were carrying a banner in the sky.. The final touch was three Industrial Trinkets attached with glue dots -and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Take To The Sky DSP for the card inside

For the inside of the card… another panel of the Take To The Sky DSP 3 x 4 adhered to a Basic White 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 and attached with glue to the inside of the card. The sentiment was stamped in Boho Blue ink using a stamp from Adventurous Sky stamp set. This was die cut with a coordinating die from Adventurous Sky Dies and added with glue to the inside of the card. I offset it to make it look as though it too was being trailed behind the airplane.

Stampin' Up! Take to the Sky Birthday card & envelope

For the envelope, I stamped another size plane from the Adventurous Sky stamp set, this time in Night of Navy ink – to the envelope front. On the flap I attached a piece of Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP and trimmed it to fit. And done! YAY! I love this card and it is so perfect for a special someone.

Stampin’ Up! Unbounded Beauty Birthday Card

Posted on May 13, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Monday morning! It is such a beautiful day here on the Jersey shore… although a cool 48 degrees. I have a showcase of DSP from the Unbounded Love 12×12 pack and I’m using it for a simple layout but gussied up birthday card.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Birthday card front

Do you notice the simple layout? The gussied up part is the Bordered Ribbon in Pretty In Pink, the Paper Butterfly Accent and additional 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems embellishments. Looking at this photo, I must make that bow smaller – it’s just too overpowering.

Measurements:

* Card Base is Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2

* DSP layer is 4 1/4 x 5 12 adhered directly to the card front

* Layer – Berry Burst 3 1/8 x 4 1/8

* DSP layer is 3 x 4 adhered directly to Berry Burst , wrapped with ribbon, bow tied then added to card front with dimensionals

* The sentiment is from Unbounded Love stamp set and is stamped in Pretty In Pink ink on a Basic White piece 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 then diecut with the coordinating Unbounded Love Die and added to the card front with dimensionals

* Three 24-26 In Color Glimmer Gems were added to the sentiment panel – in Pretty In Pink

* The Paper Butterfly Accent was attached with tiny dabs of glue then two 24-26 In Color Glimmer Gems added

Stampin' Up! Flowers of Beauty card inside

For the inside of the card, on a 4 x 45 1/4 Basic White panel I stamped this lovely flower in a two-step manner. It comes from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set that is part of the Unbounded Beauty Suite of products. I stamped the flower outline in Pretty In Pink ink, then the flower filler in stamped off Petal Pink ink. The stamen is stamped in Berry Burst ink. I left the rest of the inside blank as this card is going to be signed by lots of folks.

Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty Birthday Card & Envelope

I followed the same process of stamping the flower on the envelope as I did on the inside of the card: flower outline is Pretty In Pink ink, flower filler is stamped off Petal Pink ink, stamen is Berry Burst ink – using stamps from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. The flap is covered in more of the Unbounded Beauty 12×12 DSP that I used on the card front and trimmed to fit.

The 24-25 Annual Catalog is now live… here’s a link to take you directly to the items available in this catalog – specifically the Unbounded Beauty Suite of products found on pages 52-55. The ribbon is located on page 112 and these particular embellishments are on page 114. Happy shopping!

Stampin’ Up! Trusty Tools for a Graduation Card

Posted on May 12, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Happy Mother’s Day all you readers… You may remember last weekend I attended a convention, a one of my fellow ‘conventioners’ asked for a special graduation card as the graduate is going into auto mechanics. I pulled out Trusty Tools to see what I could do. I also used a couple of other stamp sets.

Stampin' Up! Trusty Tools graduation card

This doesn’t look much like a graduation card, does it? At least not on the front. Here’s what I did though… I pulled out Boho Blue for the card base (school colors are blue and something else, the woman couldn’t remember) … and stamped the front with what looks like parts welded together, stamped in Smoky Slate. It comes from the new & fabulous Adventurous Sky stamp set. Next I die cut this center panel that looks like a peg board from new Textured Metallic Specialty 12×12 Paper. The color is Tungsten. From the Trusty Tools stamp set and coordinating dies, I pulled out items that I thought an auto mechanic would typically use – wrenches bolts, nuts and an oil can. I stamped in Memento ink the adjustable wrench, the other items I simply die cut. The oil can is from Silver Foil Sheets and cut twice, the other being Blueberry Bushel. I trimmed off the blue oil can top and adhered the blue bottom to the silver oil can – for contrast. I put this on dimensionals and added it to the peg board. The one wrench – the non adjustable one – is adhered directly with liquid glue, the adjustable one is on dimensionals. The screw & bolts are attached with glue as well. I added the peg board to the card front with mini dimensionals.

I began the inside by cutting the toolbox bottom from Country Woods DSP. I adhered the base to the Basic White inside panel then attached the leftover hole centers from the peg board to the holes created by the toolbox bottom die cut. (Clever me!!) Using another piece of the Textured Metallic Specialty Paper in Tungsten, I die cut the handle and added it as well. Then it was – now what??? I pulled out Cap & Gown stamp set and stamped the cap in Memento ink & ‘Class of’ in Blueberry Bushel. I stamped the sentiment on the toolbox using the Trusty Toolbox stamp – again in Blueberry Bushel ink. The numbers (Boho Blue ink) & stars (Blueberry Bushel ink) come from Alphabest stamp set, a retired one. The gold hearts are from it’s coordinating dies.

Stampin' Up! Trusty Tools graduation, card back

Since there was noway to send a written greeting on the inside of the card, I added another piece of Basic White to the back of the card. On it is the sentiment stamped in Blueberry Bushel from the Cap & Gown stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Trusty Tools gradiation card & envelope

For the envelope, I did a simple stamp of the cap in Blueberry Bushel and the diploma in Memento black ink – both from the Cap & Gown stamp set.

The 24-25 Annual Catalog is now live… here’s a link to take you directly to the items available in this catalog. The Trusty Tools bundle is in the encore section. The Adventurous Sky bundle is in the Suites section. The cap & Gown stamp set can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Happy shopping!

Stampin’ Up! Mediterranean Blooms DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome to our weekly Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have a sketch challenge this week and I used some new Mediterranean Blooms 12×12 DSP to show it off and the Cheerful Daisies Dies. Enjoy the hop as progress around to visit the other participants.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Blooms DSP, sketch challenge card front

For this DSP I paired Night of Navy for the card base and added a layer of Boho Blue card stock before adding the patterned paper. I used the Nestedf Essential Dies to create the the daisy-patterned banner. Behind it is another banner – in Basic White but die cut with the Stitched Shapes banner die. I actually cut two, trimmed the length of each, added them to the back of the daisy-patterned banner with glue then attached both to the card front with dimensionals. I used the largest circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut the Basic White circle. I used my Blender Brush and Daffodil Delight ink to add a bit of color to the circle. I die cut the layers for the daisy using the Cheerful Daisies Dies and separated them with paper snips. I added the layer to the daisy with dots of liquid glue, then after removing the leaves from the die cut I slipped it behind the daisy, adhering it to the circle. I added trimmed down to fit dimensionals to the back of the daisy – including many of the petals and added it to the circle. OOPS – forgot a step – I used the Blending Brush to add Daffodil Delight ink to the daisy center. Of course, embellishments are necessary :O) and I added three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots.

Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Blooms dSP, sketch challenge, card inside

For the inside, I wanted to play up the daisy, so added a background daffodil delight then the daisy, then added more color to that with the blending brush. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink with Citrus Blooms stamp set. This Basic White panel was added to a Boho Blue piece slightly larger, then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Mediterranean Blooms DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the daisy-lie paper from Mediterranean Blooms DSP for the flap and trimmed to fit. On the front at the bottom left, I stamped this ‘block’ image in Night of Navy ink to bring the colors all together. This is a different kind of cxard for me – and I like the end result. Would love to know what you think as well.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold w/ Adventurous Sky Bundle

Posted on May 8, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh this is a truly fun fold… and it is easier than you think :O) It’s called a puzzle slider card and I saw this demonstrated by Susan Campfield. So here ya go with my creation…

Stampin' Up! Fun Fold w/ Adventurous Sky Bundle, card front

Do you love that airplane or what?! This card begins as a mini z fold card and then side pieces are added that make it a puzzle – clever, right? Here’s the view from the top.

Stampin' Up! Puzzle slider card, top view

The card base is Night of Navy cut 4 1/4 x 9 1/2 and scored @ 1, 2, 7 1/2 & 8 1/2. When I scored @ 1″ I did it just slightly LESS THAN 1″ (not even 15/16ths)- and on the 8 1/2 score, just slightly MORE THAN 8 1/2 ( not even 8 9/16ths). Crease these well – mountain, valley, valley, mountain. Then add your front panels:

* Cut 2 – 2 1/8 x 3 1/4 in Night of Navy
* Cut 2 – 2 1/8 x 2 1/4 in Night of Navy
* add DSP to these panels by first cutting DSP @ 5 x 3 3/4: this creates a continuous pattern for both top and lower panels :O)
- – cut on short side @ 1 7/8 creating two panel s 1 7/8 x 5; cut top panel on long side @ 3″ ; cut lower panel on long side @ 2″.
- My card front is not DSP – I created this image with the cloud stamps in Adventurous Sky stamp set and Boho Blue ink. I then used my Blending Brush and Boho Blue ink to add more depth to the panel – then I cut it as directed above.
- I used the Adventurous Sky Dies to create the airplane: Cajun Craze card stock for the body, Smoky Slate card stock for the wings and Basic Black for the propellers. I adhered these together with dots of liquid glue and attached it to the left portion of the card front.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky Dies, back side of airplane

You can see in the photo above, the placement of the mini dimensionals so it would adhere only to the left side of the card front.

I wanted a sentiment and loved this particular one in the Adventurous Sky stamp set – stamped it in Cajun Craze ink and die cut it with the Everyday Detail Dies, adhered it in place with dimensionals. I added a single Industrial Trinket from this suite of products.

Stampin' Up! Adventurous Sky card inside

For the inside, I adhered a panel of the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 14). For a sentiment I stamped this fun sentiment from Adventurous Sky stamp set in Boho Blue in and die cut it with the largest could die in the Adventurous Sky Dies. I adhered it in place and the card was complete.

For the envelope I added a panel of the Take To The Sky 12×12 DSP using a Cajun Craze pattern and stamped the smallest airplane image in the lower right – in Cajun Craze inkn – and forgot to photograph it for you!!! GRRR. You will have to use your imagination :O)

These items are all in the 24-25 Annual Catalog on page 37…

Stampin’ Up! NEW Country Flowers Sympathy Card

Posted on May 7, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Tuesday May 7 – how time flies. The gardens are filling out, some flowers are in their glory and others are still awakening from their winter sleep. This is a glorious time of year – at least for me. It is disheartening to see others suffer so much with allergies though… Jumping from that thought right into my card for today…

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Bundle Sympathy Card front

I love monochromatic cards, maybe you have noticed that. But now & then a monochromatic card needs something more – and this card was that, needing more. I started this card with wanting to show off the Designer Series Paper – Country Lace 12×12 DSP. Thick Basic White is the card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I layered that with a Basic White panel run through the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it directly to the card base. I cut three Designer Series Panels 1 1/4 x 3 3/4 and adhered them to a Basic Beige (NEW COLOR) panel 4 1/4 x 3 3/4. I wrapped a Bordered Ribbon in Basic Beige around the panels and secured them in back, I added dimensionals to this and centered it on the card front. Color – it needed color… I pulled out Highland Heather card stock and stamped the tepot from the Country Flowers stamp set and die cut it with the coordinating Country Flowers Dies. I stamped the flower bouquet in Memento ink on a Basic White piece and colored it with stampin’ Blends: Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow for the leaves, Petal Pink and Highland Heather for the flowers. I attached the teapot with dimensionasls, having it overhang the panels, then added the bouquet, also with dimensionals. For a sentiment, I used one from the Country Flowers stamp set, but it would not have to be a sympathy card is you wanted it for something else, as there others in the set.I pulled out Unbounded Love Dies and die cut the sentiment, put dimensionals on just the upper portion and placed it over the ribbon. As a final touch – Glossy Dots Assortment with a bit of shine filled my need – in Gorgeous Grape. Fine Shimmer Purple Gems could have worked as well.

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Bundle Sympather Card inside

For the inside of the card… a panel of Basic Beige – subtle contrast to the white card base – and a panel of the Country Lace 12×12 DSP, stamped with a sentiment from the Country Flowers stamp set (Memento ink).

Stampin' Up! Country Flowers Bundle Sympathy Card & envelope

I kept the envelope super simple – a piece of the Country Lace 12×12 DSP 2 1/4 x 6 – adhered to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit.

Stampin’ Up! 24-26 In Color Peach Pie & Unbounded Love

Posted on May 5, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning. I’ve been attending a convention the past couple of days asnd while I thought this post went out, it didn’t. :O( Those of you who ordered DSP/ Ribbon shares from me – may have received your package already – or will perhaps on Monday. My overnight order arrived Thursday noon just as I was leaving for convention – so U packed everything up – paper trimmer, boxes for mailing, scissors – all that, & off I went. Timing is everything! Got the packages mailed Friday afternoon. :O) Now – the reason you are on my blog today is to see a creation of some sort – and here it is…

Stampin' Up! 24-26 In Color Peach Pie & Unbounded Love card front

This is such pretty DSP – the 24-26 In Color 6×6 pack. Here’s what I did… I layered one of the Peach Pie designs on the Thick Basic White card front and adhered it in place. I cut the leaf piece 2 3/4 x 4 1/2, then layered it on Pumpkin Pie just slightly larger. I wrapped a length of the B ordered Ribbon in Peach Pie and tied a bow, securing it in place with a glue dot.I added another Peach Pie card stock layer cut larger yet, then added these to the card front. It created a nice layering effect. I pulled out this simple sentiment from the New Unbounded Love stamp set and stamped it in Peach Pie ink, then die cut it with the Unbounded Love Dies., added dimensionals to the back and put in place. Let me just add here, this Unbounded Love Bundle is a sentiment bundle and the stamps & dies are wonderful! There’s nothing like having more sentiments in your stash. As a final touch – a bit of bling with the 24-26 In Color Gems, in Peach Pie of course. Monochromatic card all the way :O)

Stampin' Up! 24-26 In Color Peach Pie, inside card

Using a scrap of the 24-26 In Color DSP 6×6 Peach Pie, I added the 1/2″ strip to the Basic White card panel (4 x 5 1/4) – and that was it.

Stampin' Up! 24-26 In Color Peach Pie and Unbounded Love bundle

For the envelope… another panel of the 24-26 In Color 6×6 Peach Pie was added to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. Love this card showing off this particular pack of DSP!

Stampin’ Up! Take To The Sky for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome to Thursday and another fun and Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! We have a color challenge today – can you figure out what colors I used? HA! I’ve used new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog products – Take to the Sky DSPand the Adventurous Sky Bundle plus Industrial Trinkets – all from the Suite :0)

I began with a Night of Navy cardstock cut 5 1/2 x 6 and scored on the long side @ 4 1/4. I cut apiece of Take To The Sky DSP 31/2 it to the x 5 1/2 and adhered to the 1 1/2x 5 1/2″ side. Cut anther piece of Night of Navy 1 x 5 1/2 and run it through an embossing folder – I used a new So Swirly EF. I added it to the front of the Night of Navy card, equidistant between the fold and the DSP. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine in gray around the cardstock and tied a knot. I used the wonderful biplane stamp and Smoky Slate ink to stamp on Basic White. I die cut it with the coordinating die from Adventurous Sky Dies. I colored the plane with Stampin’ Blends Copper Clay & Smoky Slate, and a bit of Basic Black. I added it ti the card front with dimensionals. I added three Industrial Trinkets – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Take To The Sky inside card

For the inside… I cut a piece of Basic White, stamped the clouds from the Take To The Sky stamp set in Boho Blue and the sentiment from the same stamp set and same ink. I adhered this to the inside of the card. Notice how the back side of the DSP shows so very clearly – I like this business of the DSP sharing both sides.

Stampin' Up! Take To The Sky card & envelope

For the envelope, I wanted to keep it very simple – similar to the card – so only used the same Take To The Sky DSP to the flap & trimmed it to fit. And that was it.

Now, it’s time to see what the others on the team have created. Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name to take you somewhere else. Enjoy the hop!

Stampin’ Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

Posted on May 1, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning – May 1, the start of the NEW 2024-2025 ANNUAL CATALOG. Yeeha – it goes live today! I have a couple of new team members I want to welcome so created a card with the Thoughtful Journey DSP. This is such pretty paper and I chose this pattern to showcase today.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey Hello Card

I cut the DSP 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 then on the short side cut it in half again, creating two strips. The strip on the left I cut 1 3/4 off the top. The remaining strip I cut 1 3/4 off the bottom. Laying them on a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock 4 x 5 1/4 created this pretty scene. I adhered the pieces in place, keeping the spaces even all around then added that to a Thick Basic White card base. The stamped sentiment is done in Mossy Meadow ink using the Unbounded Love stamp set. I cut it with a banner die in the Unbounded Love dies. I took a length of Linen thread and wrapped it around a bit, then added it to the back of the sentiment die cut, adhering it in place first with Stampin’ Seal+, then added a couple of dimensionals. After attaching it to the card, I trimmed the one end. I added three Purple Shimmer Gems as a final touch

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes, inside card

For the inside, I pulled out Thoughtful wishes stamp set and with Markers, inked the stamp: Blackberry Bliss for the flower part and Mossy Meadow for the stem/ leaves. I gave it a good haw with my breath to add a bit of moisture and stamped it on a piece of Basic White. I die cut it with the coordinating die in Thoughtful Wishes Dies and added it to a 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White and Mossy Meadow 4 x 5 1/4 for the inside of the card. Welcome, welcome!

For the envelope, I pulled another of the beautiful DSP from Thoughtful Journey pack and added it to the envelope flap and to the bottom of the envelope front. This paper looks like watercolor images and are just stunning.

Stampin’ Up! Retiring DSP Thank You Cards

Posted on April 30, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

HelIo again – it is April 30 – the final day of two catalogs: the Jan-Apr 2024 catalog and the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. decided to share one more card – or 3 – of the same layout, but in retiring papers… These cards use Forever Love 12×12 SDSP and Poetic Expressions DSP. + the Color & Contour bundle. Here they are…

Stampin' Up! Forever Love SDSP Thank you card front — Card 1 w/ Forever Love SDSP

Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions DSP Thank You card front — Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP

Card 1 uses Pretty Peacock card base and is layered with Forever Love SDSP and Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, Pretty Peacock Foil Gems and Gold ribbon. I used Stitched Shapes Dies to create the sentiment .

Card 2 uses Thick Basic White for the card base, a layer of Wild Wheat embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder, then the layers of Poetic Expressions DSP. This card uses the Textured Ribbon in Wild Wheat, the Color & Contour stamp set for the sentiment, die cut with the same Stitched Shapes Dies circle. This was embellished with the 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in pink.

Card 3 is so similar… the difference is Wild Wheat card base and embellishments of 23-25 In Color Dots in Wild Wheat. Everything else is the same as card 2.

Stampin' Up! Forever Love & Pretty Peacock thank you card, inside — Card 1, inside

Stampin' Up! Poetic Expressions Thank You Card, inside — Cards 2 & 3 same inside

The inside of the cards are similar as well… a flower stamped then stamped again with a filler stamp w/ second generation ink. On the Pretty Peacock card, I added a layer of the Forever Love SDSP before adhering the inner panel – and of course the flower is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. The other two cards have no DSP layer for the inside, just the stamped panel in Wild Wheat and second generation ink for the flower ‘filler’.

Poetic Expressions DSP Thank You Card — Cards 3 & 2 w/ Poetic Expressions DSP

The envelopes… Pretty Peacock ink was used to stamp the flower on both the envelope flap and the envelope front. On the other two cards I adhered Poetic Expressions DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit and stampoed the flower image in Wild Wheat ink. Finis.
