Stampin’ Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out Card

Posted on September 3, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning, good morning! Happy Labor Day Weekend… I have this super cute card for you today, so getting right to it.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out card, front

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-out Card, inside

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Pop-Out Card, fully open

This card could be good for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. Yes, it does have holly leaves as part of the embellishments and ond colored on the cake, but … remove the embellishments and add something else for embellishment, color the sweater a different color, maybe Pumpkin Pie and there ya go. Oh, and don’t stamp the badger.

I used Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper in this wonderful plaid for the card front and another piece of DSP from the same pack for the pop-out portion. The card base is Pecan Pie.

Cut the card base 8 1/2 x 5 12 and score at 4 1/4
Cover the front in Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4 (this is Let’s Go Fishing DSP)
Using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies, place it on the card front, centering left to right, and die cut.
Add a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 5 1/4 to the inside of the card.
Cut a panel of Pecan Pie card stock 6 x 4 1/2 and cover in DSP 5 3/4 x 4 1/4. Score on the long side at 2″ & 4″. Burnish well.
Stamp the badger image from Festive & Fun stamp set on the second panel in Memento ink and color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake. Color Lifter and Real Red for the candy cane stripes.
Cut a panel of Very Vanilla 4 x 1 1/2; stamp the sentiment from Festive & Fun stamp set in Real Red ink; add Real Red strips; adhere to far left panel of this three panel fold.
Adhere this three fold panel, centering, to the inside of the card. TIP: Before adhering it in place close card to make certain it centers with the circle opening of the card front.
Die cut the same size circle as the card front in Real Red card stock
Stamp image from Festive & Fun stamp set in Memento ink on a Very Vanilla panel and punch out with 2 3/8 circle punch. Color with Stampin’ Blends Crumb Cake, Real Red, Granny
Apple Green, Lemon Lolly (bottom of cake) and Wink of Stella for the cake top. Adhere this to the Real Red Circle.
Close card front with the inside three-fold panel folded; adhere decorated circle to the folded panel in the circle opening.
Decorate card front as desired.
- I added a bow with Linen Thread and Real Red ribbon from the Real Red and Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack
- I also added these super cute holly leaves from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins in the new Sep-Dec 2023 Mini catalog.

Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun Popo-Out Card & Envelope

The photo at left shows how the pop-out card looks from the top. The next photo is the card & envelope… the flap is covered in more of the Let’s Go Fishing DSP and the front is stamped with this cute bird in Memento ink from the Festive & Fun stamp set. It was colored with Real Red Stampin’ Blends.

Fun card, right? I can’t wait to see what you create with this Pop-Out idea. So many stamp sets to choose from!

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Wishes All Around, Snowflakes

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

Hello Saturday! Beautiful day here at the Jersey Shore – 54 degrees at wake-up time, warming as we ‘speak’. My card today some new products and some from the Annual Catalog – a good mix to show how SU! coordinates all their products.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around bundle, snowflake wreath

Isn’t this snowflake wreath pretty? It’s die cut using Wishes All Around Dies from the new Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and Soft Shimmer paper in the annual cattie and sits on a Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies in a square. That was added to Moody Mauve 2023-2025 In Color Luster paper just slightly larger. Here are the proper steps: die cut the square; die cut the wreath; lay the wreath on the die cut to indicate where to stamp the sentiment; remove wreath & stamp sentiment in Moody Mauve ink using a stamp from Wishes All Around stamp set; adhere wreath with dots of liquid glue; adhere to 2023-2025 In Color Luster paper in Moody Mauve.

Now create your card base: Moody Mauve with a layer of new product from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog – Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP in white. I used strips of Silver Foil Specialty Pack to ‘frame’ the ‘centerpiece’ of the card. Here’s a tip on how to do that, cuz the square is on dimensionals…

TIP: Add a dab of Stampin’ Seal to the back of the square. Touch it several times to remove some of the sticky. Place it on the card front pushing down lightly. Add strips butting them up against square. Twist the square to remove it from the card front – do not pull straight up! Put dimensionals on the square and put in place.

To complete the decorating of the card… die cut more snowflakes using the Wishes All Around Dies and more of the Silver foil Specialty Pack. Adhere where desired. Tie a bow with the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Sweet Sorbet and Linen Thread and add with liquid glue.

And here’s another tip… When I add bows I sometimes use a glue dot, but if the bow is small, I like to use liquid glue. Put an acryllic block on top of it to hold in place until it is completely dry :O)

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around, snowflakes inside

For the inside… on a piece of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Wishes All Around stamp set in Misty Mauve ink. i had an extra die cut snowflake from the Wishes All Around Dies and the Silver Foil Specialty Pack and added it to the Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around bundle, card & envelope

For the envelope… very simple – these three snowflakes on the envelope front were stamped in Misty Mauve ink and come from Wishes All Around stamp set. The envelope flap got more of the same Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP, adhered & trimmed to fit.

You may want to know why I chose a shade of pink for snowflakes… truth be told, when I was growing up I had an aunt who every Christmas her tree was decorated in silver & pink – therefore the inspiration. It’s not my style, I’m more of a traditional red & green kinda gal, but this turned out pretty well – and in memory of my aunt.

Now, I want to talk about the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog just a bit. The Designer Series paper shown on this card is one of the papers in the new cattie, and I have a Paper Share opportunity for you…

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of a New Mask

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

Good Friday morning! It’s cool here in the northeast – 54 degree when we walked. And that means fall is a-comin’. That’s perfect for today’s card because I chose to use one of the masks in the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Leaves Mask

I used Blending Brushes and three colors of ink to create this with one of the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler – definite fall colors. And here’s the mask after using the Blending Brushes.

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative masks.2

Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks.3

You can see that I held the paper in place AND the mask in place using post-it notes. And that is a key to making the finished product clear. I trimmed the Basic White panel a bit then with a Water Painter added some water splotches. I did this by squeezing just a bit of water into the brush then tapping it against my other hand. Once dry I used an Early Espresso Marker to flick some splatters to the entire panel. This was added to a Cherry Cobbler panel just slightly larger. I wanted the card base to be Pumpkin Pie card stock, but also wanted some texture on the card – so ran a separate panel of Pumpkin Pie through the cut & emboss machine with the Basics 3D Embossing folder, Crosshatch. This is a product part of the Online Exclusives. This embossed panel was adhered to the card base withn loiquid glue and the top two panels were added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment using another new product available Sep 6, the Abundant Leaves stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on another Basic White piece, and die cut it with a die from the Abundant Leaves Dies. I also wanted another image behind the sentiment and looked at the Abundant Leaves Dies and say this image that is really ‘veins’ for a leaf. I die cut it from Early Espresso card stock and added it with dots of liquid glue to the card front, putting dimensionals on the sentiment and adding it over the die cut. As a final touch I added three Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots – also a new product available Sep 6.

Using the die cut from Abundant Leaves Dies as a stencil, I used the Blending Brushes used to create the card front, to create the image on the inside of the card. Again, the Basic White panel was adhered to a Cherry Cobbler card stock then added to the inside of the card.

Abundant Beauty Leaves Mask card & envelope

With the Abundant Beauty Masks still on my desk, I used the mask and Blending Brushes to decorate the envelope, some leaves on the front, then the entire flap. it ties everything together. Abundant Beauty Masks – a real bargain and a fun play with Blending Brushes!

Remember, several of the items used to create this card will be available Sep 6 as they are in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator or a new catalog, please reach out to me. I also have a Designer Series Paper Share as part of the same catalog – touting all the new Designer Series Papers. Here’s more info re: that…

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Magical Meadow for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on August 31, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome! We have a sketch challenge today and I’m excited to share new products from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog :O)

Stampin' Up! Blog hop Sketch Challenge 8/31

Stampin' Up! Happyn Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop 8/31

Winter Meadow 12 x 12 DSP is the focus of this card front. Isn’t this paper just gorgeous? It’s soft colors and stunning nature designs just take my breath away. The sketch challenge could have been used with any of the papers from this pack. I used Bordered Ribbon in Lost Lagoon as a nice contrast between the two papers. I adhered the Winter Meadow Designer Series Papers to a Misty Moonlight panel, wrapped the ribbon around the seamline securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. I put dimensionals on these and attached them to a Misty Moonlight card base. The sentiment is from the Magical Meadow stamp set and is stamped on a Basic White piece in Misty Moonlight ink. It was die cut with a rounded corner die from the Nested Essentials Dies in the Annual Catalog. The sentiment banner was added to the card front with dimensionals. Three Faceted Gems from the Trio Pack were added – in Lost Lagoon, one of the colors in the nature scene.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadows, inside card

For the inside of the card, I stamped images that resmble the card front – from the Magical Meadows stamp set. The ink colors were Misty Moonlight, stamped off once, then a second time for the second image; Garden Green ink & Shaded Spruce ink, also second generation. These were stamped mon a Basic White panel then it was adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Magical Meadow bundlecard & envelope

For the envelope I did the same stamping on the flapas the inside of the card, allowing it to overhang the envelope front. In the lower left corner I used this fabulous snowflake die from Magical Meadows Dies to create interest. I slipped a thin paper in the envelope before running it through the die cutting machine in hopes it would not go through to the back of the envelope. It did anyway, but it worked and looks fine. LOVE this bundle… the coordinating Winter Meadows Designer Series papers are stunning. I cannot wait ton play more with this suite of products.

Now… it’s time to see what the rest of the ‘krew’ have prepared for the hop challenge today. Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Enjoy!

Stampin’ Up! Gorgeously Made Birthday

Posted on August 27, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Stampin’ Up! has some really beautiful papers – and sometimes I get working with a certain Designer Series Paper and just can quit. That’s the way it is with the Masterfully Made DSP – so another card it is…

Look at these beautiful colors. Here’s what I did….

Pretty Peacock is the card base and after trimming it to size I stamped the front with the word stamp from the Gorgeously Made stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink.
I layered one of the Masterfully Made DSP to a Bubble Bath panel, adhering them together and adding them with dimensionals to the card base.
I pulled out two papers: Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lime Twist and using the Gorgeously Made Dies, die cut these two leaves. They were added to the card from with various dot of liquid glue.
I pulled out this fun ‘notebook edge’ die from the Gorgeously Made Dies and die cut a scrap of the Masterfully Made DSP. This was to be my background for the sentiment.
The sentiment is from the Hey Chuck stamp set and is stamped on Basic White in bubble Bath ink.. It was die cut with Gorgeously Made Dies then added to the ‘notebook edge’ die cut piece, dimensionals on back and added to the card front.
I added several Blooming Pearls in Pretty Peacock to the sentiment.
I tied a bow with lengths of White twine from the Basic Twine pack, and adhered it in place with a glue dot.

For the inside of the card, I stamped this fun image using an August Paper Pumpkin stamp and Memento ink. I colored it with Stampin’ Blends to coordinate with the Masterfully Made DSP: Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly. I added strips of the Masterfully Made DSP then stamped the sentiment – again using Bubble Bath ink and an August Paper pumpkin sentiment. And the card was complete!

Stampin' Up! Gorgeously Made birthday card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Masterfully Made DSP for the envelope flap and a strip for the envelope front to bring it all together. This is a fun, happy, encouraging card and I can’t wait to send it to a favorite person :O)

Today is August 27 and the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog goes live Sep 6. As I have mentioned before, Stampin’ Up! offers the best Designer Series Papers – and I am offering Designer Series Paper Shares from the new catalog. Here are the deets:

Stampin’ Up! Forever Forest and Christmas Tidings EF

Posted on August 26, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh, more new products to share today: Forever Forest Dies, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder and Adhesive-Backed Star Trinkets :O)

Stampin' Up! Forever Forest Dies & Christmas Tidings EF

I began by running a Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel through the Christmas Tidings EF and layered it on a Pecan Pie card piece just slightly larger. I wrapped a red ribbon around it from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (annual catalog), securing it in back with Stampin’ Seal. These were added to a Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.) I punched the bear from A Walk in the Forest DSP using the Beary Cute Punch. And yes, this punch also coordinates with the Beary Christmas 12×12 DSP – YAY! The trees were die cut using the Forever Forest Dies from Shimmer Paper. There are several tree sizes in this set of dies, so it’s a matter of deciding which ones to use. I adhered the smaller tree so the base sat inside the ribbon, the larger tree is on dimensionals and overlaps the ribbon. I adhered the bear with dimensionals as well – as though it is ‘walking to the forest’. The final touch was this stunning Adhesive-Backed Star Trinket at the top of the taller tree. All these new items will be available in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog come September 6!

For the inside… I used another new product… the Tiny Christmas Tree Dies to die cut the border of the Basic White inside panel. Are those tiny trees too cute or what?! And I saved the die cut trees to use later :O) This die can be used as a card front as well – look for that in the near future! The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink using another new stamp set, Magical Meadow. This Basic White panel was adhered to a Pecan Pie piece and attached to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Forever Forest Dies & Christmas Tidings EF card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of Basic White was run through the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder, attached to the envelope flap & trimmed to fit. I used three of the die cut trees from the Tiny Christmas Trees Die to adhere to the envelope front – and they are perfect there!

What fun to use all these new products to share with you today. If you do not have a demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know.

I found the directions for this card and it seemed a clever way of making the card more flexible – and just had to give it a try. Susan Campfield was the demonstrator and had another name for it. Here’s what it looks like open.

Notice how there is a gap between the front of the card and the back of the card – that’s the split. And here’s how the card looks from the top.

Stampin' Up! Split M fold w/ Masterfully Made DSP from the top

Directions to make this card are not all that complicated – and all the colors for the color challenge are in the DSP :O) I used Blueberry Bushel for the card base, Pretty Peacock for stamping one of the sentiments and Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist are in the DSP – so we’re good.

Cut the card base back from Blueberry Bushel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the card front in two parts: Blueberry Bushel 1 3/4 x 5 12 & Masterfully Made DSP 3 x 5 1/2
- Adhere the two front panels together so they measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Cut the ‘M’ section from Blueberry Bushel 11 x 4 3/4 and score on the long side @ 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4. Burnish as valley, mountain, valley as shown above.
- Decorate panels as desired: Basic White layers are 2 1/2 x 4 1/2
- Panel 1 is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink using the Charming stamp set; Radiating Stitches Dies was used to die cut the heart from Masterfully Made DSP
- Panel 2 is a layer of Masterfully Made DSP 2 14 x 4 1/4 on the Basic White panel
- Panel 3 is the same Masterfully Made DSP pattern as the heart, cut 1 x 4 1/4 adhered to the Basic White panel. Here I will write my message.
- Panel 4 is this pretty stamp from Gorgeously Made stamp set, stamped with Pretty Peacock ink, stamped off once. Over that is another sentiment, this time from So Sincere stamp set (available Sep.6 in the Mini Sep-Dec 2023 Catalog) in full strength Blueberry Bushel ink on the Basic White panel.
On the inside of the back of the card, I used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp these pretty images
Adhere the now decorated ‘M’ fold to the inside of the card front, keeping bottom edges even with card front; secure to back in same fashion.
Decorate the card front:
- The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink to a Basic White scrap using the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set, then die cut with the coordinating Wonderful Thoughts Dies. This was adhered to the card front with dimensionals cut in half. Three Berry Burst embellishments were added from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

I used another pattern of the Masterfully Made DSP to adhere to the envelope, trimmed to fit – 2 1/4 x 6.
