Stampin’ Up! NEW KITS & ONLINE EXCLUSIVES AVAILABLE

Posted on November 5, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good day stamping buddies. Yesterday, November 4, Stampin’ Up! did a big release of new ONLINE EXCLUSIVES that you (& I) are going to love. The Brushed with Beauty Suite is one I purchased when it became available to demonstrators – and I just c an’t quite playing with it. The Designer Series Paper is just soooo very pretty and the stamp bundle, well, they are wonderful too. I’ll post some links to cards I’ve made with this suite of products – to give some inspiration. Try here, here and here. Stampin’ Up! is offering a virtual craft class November 20, 2025, with this suite of products and it’s open to customers!!! I think you won’t want to miss this class. The code for the class is 170074 and it’s a very reasonable $30 US. That does not include the suite of products (this is the number for that…167100), just the class. You can place your order through my ONLINE SHOP HERE.

There’s another bundle that I have enjoyed that was released as part of the Nov 4 ONLINE EXCLUSIVES – Swirled Designs. I have not created as many cards with it, but it too is worth pointing out. Check out my card here.

During the night last night I received another package of a couple of new release products & other items – the Friendly Foliage Bundle and the Creative Haven Bundle. Naturally, I haven’t played with either one yet since they arrived during the night 🥴. You’ll just have to wait with baited breath for those. See all the ONLINE EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS HERE

Stampin’ Up! Peace on Earth Bundle with Winter Meadow DSP, a Fun Fold

Posted on September 9, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Tuesday! What does this day have in store for you? For me, it’s the start of new programs and it gets busy. In the Stampin’ Up! world, there is always something new coming out, keeping the creating environment challenging and interesting. The card I have for you today is a fun fold and so super easy. It also uses the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP which is a carry-over from last year. It’s beautiful. I paired it with a new bundle from the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog called Peace on Earth.

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth w/ Winter Meadow DSP card front

The card base is Blueberry Bushel – not a color I use very often, but it looks awesome with this DSP. The card is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored @ 1 1/4 & 4 1/4. The first score folds back in a mountain fold, while the 4 14 is a valley fold.

Each DSP is adhered to a Basic White piece before attaching it to the card base. The decorative pieces on the very front use the Peace on Earth Dies to die cut the banners, the dove, the glimmery stars and the Garden Green leaves. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink. I used a sponge dauber & Whisper White to add some white to various leaves. The stars were die cut from Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper. The stamped Basic White banner was added to the Blueberry Bushel banner with dimensionals. The other items were attached with dabs of liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth Bundle w/ Winter Meadow DSP card inside

For the inside, more DSP adhered to Basic White then to the card base. On the right side, the Basic White panel was attached then the sentiment – so it would be ‘hidden’ by the front banner. About the sentiment – a die cut from Basic White using the Christmas Words Collage dies & embossing folder. Once cut, I used the Misty Moonlight ink pad to wipe over the sentiment. It’s a bit darker than I wanted but I still like it. The blue glimmery stars are die cut with the same Peace on Earth dies and again use one of the glimmer papers in the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper pack.

Stampin' Up! Peace On Earth fun fold card & envelope

For the envelope, another piece of the Winter Meadow 12×12 DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front… a tree from the Frosted Forest stamp set (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) in stamped off Misty Moonlight. Card cuts are listed below.

Want to purchase these items? For every order of $50 & above from Sep. 3 to Sep 10, I will send not only the monthly tutorial (for September (it’s the Amber Autumn bundle!), but a package of the Hues of Blue Flowers.

Stampin’ Up! Storybook Friends in a Bandstand Card

Posted on January 7, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday January 7! Today is the day… the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog goes LIVE and… benefits of the Jan-Feb 2025 Sale-a-bration Catalog also go into effect. What that means is when you make a purchase of any Stampin’ Up! items: Kits Collection, Last Chance items, the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog OR the new MINI Catalog, Sale-a-bration items are available. How cool is that! There are two levels: a $60 purchase and a $120 Purchase – each allowing different products that are FREE TO YOU. So, shop, shop, shop!

Today’s card is another fun fold, called the bandstand, and it used products from the two mini catalogs going live today. The Designer Series Paper DSP) is a free Sale-a-bration item, and the rabbit, sentiment and delicate frame die are from the Storybook Friends bundle and Storybook Moments 12×12 SDSP. Here ya go…

Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends in a Bandstand Card

How sweet is that rabbit and how gorgeous that frame!!! I adhered the frame to a Window Sheet so all the DSP would show :O) The rabbit is fussy cut from the Storybook Moments SDSP and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink from the Storybook Friends stamp set and die cut with a die from Happy Little Things Dies, retiring. It is attached with a dimensional on the right end and liquid glue to the rabbit. And here’s the top-down view.

Stampin' Up! Bandstand card top-down view

This card fold flat and works perfectly in a standard envelope. Here’s the envelope for the card

Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends card & envelope

That cute rabbit is from the Storybook Friends stamp set and is stamped in Memento ink and colored with Stampin/ Blends: Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Peach Pie and Old Olive.

Here’s how to make this card…

Card base, back: 4 1/4 x 5 3/8 scored on long side at 3/4 & 4 5/8. Burnish.

Card base, front: cut 2 – 1 1/4 x 4 1/8, score on long side 3/4, 2 1/2, 4 1/2 & 6 1/4. Burnish. These are the pop-out sections.

Decorate:

Cut DSP for inside back, 5/8 x 4 1/8, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8 and again 5/8 x 4 1/8 and adhere to the inside back.

For pop-out sections: cut a single strip 1 1/8 x 5 1/8 then trim to 1 5/8 x 1 1/8, 1 7/8 x 1 1/8 and lastly 1 5/8 x 1 1/8. By cutting this as a single strip and trimming down, this allows for a continuous pattern. Do this twice, then adhere to the pop-out strips, leaving the ends without DSP

Turn strips over and adhere Tear n’ Tape to the ends as shown.

Putting together:

Leaving the strips face down, lay the decorated back panel, decoration side down and even at top of strip, centering the back panel between score lines. There will maybe be a 1/16″ between the score line and the back panel. Remoce cover on Tear n’ Tape & adhere to back panel. Do this again at the bottom. Notice there is ‘wiggle room’ on the ends in the photo – this is as it should be!

Now is the perfect time to decorate the back of the card where you can write your message.

Here I used Peach Pie as a nice contrasting color, 3 3/4 x 4 1/8, and adhered it to the back. I cut a Basic White 3 5/8 x 4 and stamped it with an image from Storybook Friends in Memento ink, coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Peach Pie & Old Olive. I adhered this in place.

Decorate the front: the key here is to provide something to ‘stabilize’ the card and. to adhere it only to the center panel. It can extend beyond the center panel as the pop-out sections go back not forward.

Die cut from Basic White this gorgeous frame. With liquid glue adhere it to a Window Sheet.
Add Window Sheet to card front adhering only to the center panel with Stampin’ Seal
Fussy cut the bunny from the Storybook Moments SDSP OR use one of the fabulous pieces that can be punched out – 2 sheets of these are provided in the SDSP pack!

Stampin’ Up! Happiest Day for the Happy Inkin’Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on October 24, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome. It’s Thursday and time for another Happy Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! You may have popped in from Tara – or from another Krew member. Enjoy as you make the rounds 😀

Stampin' UIp! Happy Inkin' Krew Blog hop Group

So this sketch was a fun challenge! There are so MAN papers I could have used, but I needed a birthday card and also to play with this stamp set. After adding co0lor to each of the dragonflies, I stamped again with VersaMark ink, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it for a nice ‘glow, then fussy cut each one with my fabulous Stampin’ Up! Paper Snips. The top left dragonfly is Azure Afternoon for the top wings and Balmy Blue for the bottom wings. The upside down dragonfly is Lemon Lime Twist for the smaller wings and Poppy Parade for the larger wings. The last dragonfly is Misty Moonlight for the larger wings and Poppy Parade for the smaller wings. The top left and bottom dragonflies are added with a single mini dimensional while the remaining dragonfly was adhered with liquid glue. I drew antennae with a Basic Black Marker with the fine tip end.

Card Cuts:

Card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (Misty Moonlight)
DSP layer from Country Lace is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
The square is Misty Moonlight 3 x 3 with a layer of Country Lace 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 and adhered directly to the card front
The sentiment panel is 1 11/16 x 2 with more Country Lace 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 and attached with dimensionals. The sentiment is from Happiest Day and stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

As a final touch on the card front, I added 3 Adhesive-Backed Dots

Stampin' Up! Happies Day birthday card inside

For the inside I cut a panel of Basic Beige 4 x 5 1/4, stamped it in the center with memento ink (sentiment is from Happiest Days). I then stamped the dragonfly in Mementop in, added color with additional wing stamps: Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue inks and drew the antennae with the same Basic Black marker with the fine tip. I did the same as before by stamped over the color with VersaMark ink, sprinkling with Clear embossing Powder and heat set. It gives a nice glowy to the wings.

Stampin' Up! Happies
Days birthday card & envelope

On the envelope I stamped the same dragonfly as before – Memento ink – colored it with Balmy Blue ink for the top wings and Lemon Lime Twist for the smaller wings. On the flap I added another panel of the Country Lace DSP – and done!

Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Evergreen ‘Strip’ Tree

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

Good Saturday! What is new in your corner of the world? Now that it is just a bit cooler, hubby and I have been trimming bushes that desperately need it and doing some other yard work … consequently had to purchase some new tools as well. Interesting how tools wear out – just as we do! :O) Anyway – I’ve made a very clean and simple card for you today using the Peaceful Evergreen Dies and the Peaceful Season stamp set. As an FYI, each of these comes as a bundle for 10% savings and can be found in the Sep-Dec 2024 Mini Catalog pages 24-25.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Evergreens card front

This is pretty much an all white card except for the DSP strips for the tree. I love this clean look, but it is a bit on the plain side. Perhaps I should have run it through an Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder. Next time! To make this card..

Start with a 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White panel and die cut the largest tree using the Peaceful Evergreen Dies, centering it.
Using the die cut tree, lay strips across it to your liking. I used the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. Adhere to the die cut.
Place this tree on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel, using the cut out tree panel as a guide for placement. Adhere.
Add dimensionals to the cut out tree panel and place on top, centering.
Add to a Thick Basic White card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
On a 1/2 x 3 3/4 strip of Basic White, stamp the sentiment in Real Red ink using the Peaceful Seasons stamp set. Adhere with adhesive only on the ends.
Add embellishments of choice. Here I used the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries
As a final touch I added this Granny Apple Green star at the top, die cut from Festive 12×12 Glimmer Paper.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Evergreen 'strip' tree card inside

For the inside… I created another ‘strip’ tree in a smaller size laying the strips on a Basic White panel and die cutting with the smallest of the trees in Peaceful Evergreen Dies. I adhered this to the 4 x 5 1/4 basic White panel, then stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Seasons stamp set in real Red ink. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card and done…

For the envelope, I took a 2 1/4 x 6 piece of Take A Bow DSP and adhered it to the flap and that was it.

OK – how to get the items used to make this card…

Stampin’ Up! Take A Bow 6×6 Stack & Cut C’mas Cards

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

This is a brand new week – and hard to believe it is September 2 already. The summer went by so darn quickly…. and yes, it isn’t ended until September 22, I get that. But somehow, Labor Day, school starting, other programs picking up again – it seems like summer ‘up & went.’ Bad English, I know. My cards today… I have resisted creating the ever popular ‘stack & cut cards’. And that’s on me. Yesterday I did it and here are the four cards I created.

Stampin' Up! Take a bow 6x6 Stack & cut #1 — Take A Bow 6×6 #1

Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #3 — Take A Bow 6×6 #3

Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut Take a Bow 6x6 #4 — Take A Bow 6×6 #4

One of the reasons I have resisted making stack & cut cards is they are so similar – and I rarely make two of the same card. What I did here is use very different dies for the front sentiment panels. And if you are not familiar with stack & cut cards – here’s the idea… take 4 designer series papers that coordinate, stack them one on top of the other and cut – meaning all four papers are cut exactly the same. What changes is the order of how they appear on the card. And I made my cards as two horizontal and two vertical cards. By switching the cut papers it changes the ‘look’ of each card while using all the same papers. Make sense?

How to create these cards… the DSP is Take A Bow 6×6 DSP available Sep 4 in the new 2024 Sep-Dec Mini Catalog – choose four (4) coordinating patterns, stack them one on top of another and cut 3 3/4 x 5. On the short side cut at 2 1/2″, then cut that strip on the long side at 2 1/4″. And the remaining uncut strip that is now 1 3/4 x 5, cut it at 3 1/4″, leaving two sizes: 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 and 1 1/4 x 3 3/4. Keep papers in appropriate stacks. Cut four different coordinating card stocks 4 x 5 1/4. Begin laying out the DSP patterns by placing all of the top pieces from the same pattern on each of the four cardstock panels – using the cards above as a guide. None of the designer series papers that I chose are directional, so it didn’t matter where they were placed. If any your patterns are directional, that will make a difference. Continue each pattern of DSP until all are distributed. Adhere to cardstock with adhesive of choice, then add to card base with dimensionals.

Besides the Take A Bow 6×6 DSP, here are the various supplies needed for each card:

Card 1 -Something Fancy Dies, Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon in White, Greetings of the Season stamp set, Christmas Friends stamp set on the inside, Real Red ink and Granny Apple Green + Garden Green ink, Adhesive Backed Berries.

Card 2 – Nested Essentials Dies, Greetings of the Season for sentiments, Christmas Friends (mouse) and to color the mouse, Stampin’ Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green, Adhesive Backed Berries, and inks Real Red and Garden Green.

Card 3 – Greetings of the Season Bundle, Natural Tones Linen Thread in Garden Green, Adhesive Backed Berries and inks Real Red and Granny Apple Green.

Card 4 – Greetings of the Season Bundle, Christmas Friends stamp set, (mouse)and Stampin Blends Real Red and Granny Apple Green for the mouse, Red & White Baker’s Twine, Adhesive Backed Berries.

Here’s the envelope for each card + the inside of each:

Stampin' Up! Stack & Cut card & envelope, #1 — Card 1 card & envelope

Stampin’ Up! Frames & Flowers Sympathy Card

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

Frames & Flowers 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is simply gorgeous – soft colors, leaf & flower themed, the pack of papers includes die cut images as well. This paper may be found on page 29 in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. To make today’s card, I used several of the die cuts, You are Beautiful stamp set and the Hope You Know stamp set for the sentiments. The card base is Lost Lagoon cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored @ 4 1/4 with a layer of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4.

Stampin' Up! Frames & Flowers Sympathy card front

I began by adhering the frame die cut from the pack of Frames & Flowers 12 x 12 DSP onto a basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink using the Hope You Know stamp set. I added a couple of die cuts from the DSP pack attaching them with dimensionals: the leaves in the lower right and the flower & leaves corner die cut. I added Wink of Stella to the several of the darkest leaves on the lower left and on the flowers of the corner die cut. This doesn’t show in the photo, but in person it adds a beautiful touch of elegance.

Stampin' Up! Frames & Flowers Sympathy card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink using the Hope You Know stamp set. The leaf image is another of the die cuts from the Frames & Flowers 12 x 12 DSP pack, and was adhered with dabs of liquid glue. And yes, I added Wink of Stella to several of the leaves here as well.

Stampin' Up! Frames & Flowers
Sympathy Card & envelope

For the Basic White envelope I stamped the leaf images using the You are Beautiful stamp set and Lost Lagoon ink. This is a ‘distinctive’ stamp set, meaning when the images are stamped there is depth. Notice how some of the leaves on the flap are darker than others – that’s what I mean.

Frames & Flowers 12 x 12 DSP may be found on page 29 – item 163765

Hope You Know stamp set may be found on page 85 – item 161409

You Are Beautiful stamp set may be found on page 93 – item 163704

Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Checking In

Posted on May 25, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Playing with the Citrus Blooms bundle… and made this simple. but layered card. With the Mediterranean Blooms DSP and a couple of coordinating Dies, it’s super easy. Here are two dies that fit this particular sheet.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Dies on Mediterranean Blooms DSP

Is this stunning DSP or what?! And here’s the card I created using that larger die and the Mediterranean Blooms DSP.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle card front

And here’s how I did this…

Thick Basic White for the card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer: Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 run through the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and adhered to the card front
Using three dies that ‘fit’ together, die cut Basic White 4 x 5 1//4. This creates the gorgeous leafy background, frame and inner leafy pattern. Adhere these as another layer to the card front
The large orange pattern from the Mediterranean Blooms is added with dimensionals, centering it. I added Wink of Stella to the shaded portions of the leaves & oranges. TIP: you get a better glitter of the Wink of Stella if you squeeze a bit on an acrylic block and add it to the desired area.

Can you see the sparkle? It doesn’t show well at all in photos!!!

To complete the card front, I stamped the sentiment on Basic White strip using a stamp from Citrus Blooms stamp set and Garden Green ink. I attaached it with dimensionals and added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins in Peach Pie. I may have to add two more on the lower left!

For the inside, I added a piece of Peach Pie card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 to the inside of the card. I die cut a Basic White panel with Citrus Blooms frame die, stamped the sentiment in garden Green ink, then added the three blooms on the lower left in Lemon Lolly ink and a Peach Pie Marker for dots in the center of the flowers. These stamps are part of the Citrus Blooms stamp set. And this panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle card & envelope

For the envelope I cut a piece of a different pattern from Mediterranean Blooms DSP 2 1/4 x 6, added it to the flap & trimmed it to fit. Done! Such an elegant look! I toyed with the inside, whether to leave it all white or not. I think if I do this card again, I would make the inside all white. Thoughts? Opinions?

OK – now for some links to purchase these gorgeous items…

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z Fold

Posted on May 21, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Spotlight On Nature is SUCH a beautiful Bundle – all those incredible circle dies with sweet designs around. I’ve used two of them on this card.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z Fold

I used the Country Woods 12×12 DSP (4 x 5 1/4) for the layer on Crumb Cake card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 5 12). Because of the window die cut, when adhering the DSP, adhere only around the edges! I used Stampin’ Seal just to keep it simple for me. Next I die cut the window on the card front by placing the appropriate size die on the DSP with the card base open. I then die cut the outer rim circle in Balmy Blue. Remember I’m using Spotlight On Nature Dies. To create the rim takes two dies as the dies cut along the outside only. Just reserve those die cut pieces for a later use. Next I stamped the Spotlight On Nature floral image in Memento ink on a Basic White piece and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. Using my Color Coach as a guide, I used Balmy Blue and Shaded Spruce Blends, then splattered ink spots with the Balmy Blue then with Basic Black Marker. How to do this, gently flick the brush end of the blend against the cap, flicking toward the project. This can be a bit messy, so be certain other items are out of the way :O).

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z Fold, inside folded

To create the z fold portion… cut a Basic White piece 8 1/2 x 5 1/4 and score on the long side at 4 & 6 1/4. Score to make the Z – valley, mountain. Stamp this as desired. Here I stamped the leaf image in Shaded Spruce ink making certain not to go above the card front opening. I stamped the Butterfly in Memento ink then colored it with Stampin’ Blends Peach Pie and Balmy Blue. On the far right side of the Z fold I added a strip of Subtles 6×6 DSP cut 2 x 5 1/4. I adhered this Z panel to the inside of the card. With the card closed and the Z folded, I placed the flower die cut in the circle, adhering it just to the Z panel. It should open and close without catching. As a final touch, I added three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots in Balmy Blue. Love, love! I realized the area where I used Stampin’ Blends on the butterfly was showing through, so I added another panel of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Balmy Blue cut 2 x 5 1/4 to that strip.

The envelope got more of the Country Woods 12×12 DSP adhered to the flap (2 1/4 x 6) and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front I stamped the floral image again from Spotlight On Nature in Memento ink. As you see, I only stamped the medium size flower & leaves, and colored them same as the circle die cut image: Stampin’ Blends Balmy Blue and Shaded Spruce.

I imagine all kinds of possibilities with this Spotlight On Nature Bundle! It is a definite MUST HAVE!

Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Card

Posted on May 19, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my goodness – there are some really pretty bundles in the new 24-25 Annual Catalog. This one is extra special. For one thing, I think it’s the simplicity of the stamp set. The other of course are the many circle dies and the designs in them.

Last night was a wierd sleeping night for me – I got up at 12:30 AM cause sleep was avoiding me and stayed up until a bit after 2. That’s when I created this card.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature card front

I began by stamping the image from Spotlight On Nature in Memento Ink, then coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Poppy Parade for the flower tops and Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green for the stems/ leaves. I die cut it with the die shown, from Spotlight On Nature Dies. For the background I pulled out the Brights 6×6 DSP Poppy Parade and trimmed it to 4 x 5 1/4, added it to a Basic Black 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 then directly to the Thick Basic White card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I added a 1/2 x 4 strip of Basic White to the center of the card, then added the stamped die cut over that with dimensionals. For a bit of bling, there are three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight on Nature card inside

For the inside of the card, I stamped this stunning leaf image from Spotlight on Nature in Memento ink on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. I colored the leaves in Stampin’ Blends, using Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green. I love the contrast these colors give!

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the same Brights 6×6 DSP in Poppy Parade on the flap and trimmed to fit. The leaf image on the envelope front is the same one used on the inside of the card, stamped in Memento ink but not colored. It creates a stunning contrast.

I want to use the same stamps and coloring but use a Crumb Cake embossed background – lots of ideas spinning in my head this AM! This is a bit brighter than I would normally do – perhaps it was the middle of the night thing :O)
