Window Pop-Out Card with Florals in Bloom DSP & More

Posted on April 14, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Monday! It’s a new week, actually a new day – – and it is NOT raining here. Whew! We need the rain to fill our reservoirs; I like rain; but the days are a bit gloomy. We had sunshine for a bit of the day & it felt good. Thank you for the rain; and thank you for the sunshine!

My card today uses the ever-popular Arches Dies found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. I’ve paired it with one of the new In Colors for 2025-2026 called Cloud Cover plus a beautiful Florals In Bloom DSP. I either fussy cut the flowers with my paper snips, or die cut them with a die from Pretty Florals Dies or Sweet Blooms Dies. Both of these dies and the DSP are part of a new suite of products in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog – the Florals In Bloom Suite.

Stampin' Up! Window Pop-Out card front with Florals in Bloom Suite

This card begins with a standard A2 card base in Cloud Cover. The DSP layer is just 1/8″ smaller all around and is from the Florals In Bloom pack. It is from the other side of this sheet that I either fussy cut or die cut the flowers for the front of this card. :O) Ah, but I jump ahead… after adhering the DSP to the card front, open card & use the 4th largest die in the Arches Dies to center it on the front & die cut the arch. This may take running it back & forth a couple of times.

Now prepare the inside panel… 6 1/2 x 5 3/8 scored at 2 & 4 on the long side. Prepare two ‘hinges’ cutting 3″ x 1 1/4″, scored @ 1 1/2. Add Tear n’ Tape in several places then cut in half lengthwise, thereby creating 2 hinges. Add Tear n’ Tape to the BACK SIDE of the 2 1/2″ panel. On that same back side, add the hinges with the fold at the outside edge, one at top & one at bottom. Refer to photos below.

Remove tape cover & add insert to to inside of card with 1/8″ edge top, right & bottom. Fold insert along score lines, remove tape cover on hinges and with them flat & sticky side up, close card front. Boom! Now, with card closed & ‘window’ uncovered, add adhesive or Tear n’ Tape to open area – see photo… & attach die cut arch & decorate! ….

As mentioned earlier, I either fussy cut with my paper snips or die cut with appropriate dies all the flowers. On the bottom right, this flower was Cloud Cover so that when the card is opened, there is a ‘like’ image inside – cut 2. After adhering, circle & flower were trimmed to card front edges.

Additional info:

DSP added to inside of card is 1 7/8 x 5 1/4, decorated with a die cut from the DSP (Sweet Blooms Dies)
Basic White panel on far right is 2 3/8 x 5 1/4
Embellishments on fron are 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems
Wink of Stella was added to shaded areas of all flowers
This is what the card looks like from the top

For the envelope…

More of the same DSP from Florals In Bloom DSP pack (just the other side) adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, another fussy cut flower added to the edge of the envelope front.

I had so much fun creating this card. It was pretty easy really and the fun came in the decorating. I would love to see what you do with this Window Pop-Out card design.

Stampin’ Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks Card

Posted on April 12, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Impressions Abloom is one of the new bundles in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog – and it’s wonderful. This card was one inspired by the After Hours program at the Stampin’ Up! Convention recently. I confess it’s a direct CASE of one in the After Hours booklet :O)

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom Thanks card front

This card begins with a Crumb Cake card base, standard A2 size. Several pieces of Crumb Cake were trimmed down for layering with Perennial Lavender DSP. This DSP is a carry over 12×12 paper and is gorgeous. What you are seeing here is a checkered pattern. Notice how the edges of both the Crumb Cake pieces and the DSP pieces have frayed edges. That was done by holding the scissors at an angle on each piece and ‘scratching’ down the side. It sometimes even tears a bit, which is ok. It gives it a country look. Each of the flower heads is stamped in Darling Duckling ink then die cut with the appropriate die with two layers per flower head. The centers are stamped with Pecan Pie ink then Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle in the centers. The stems & leaves are die cut using this same Impressions Abloom bundle – using Granny Apple Green card stock. These were attached to the card front, then the flowers heads added with dimensionals. The tiny flowers were die cut from Basic White then a Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight colored the center. These were added with dots of liquid glue. A double bow was created using the Gold thread and attached with a glue dot. The sentiment was stamped in Pecan Pie ink, an edge torn and added with dimensionals.

Here’s a photo of all the daisy die cuts:

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom daisy die cuts

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom card inside

For the inside…

I stamped the daisy image in Darling Duckling ink and the centers in Pecan Pie – same as the card front. I stamped the sentiment, also from Impressions Abloom stamp set, in Pecan Pie ink. The panel was added to the inside of the card.

The envelope …

Stampin' Up! Impressions Abloom card & envelope

More of the Perennial Lavender 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The very same flower from Impressions Abloom stamp set was stamped on the envelope front: Darling Duckling for the flower and Pecan Pie for the center. And of course, Wink of Stella was added to the center :O) This would be a great birthday or hello card – just change the sentiment. It’s cheerful – a real lift me up kind of card.

This bundle and DSP will be available May 6, both in the ONLINE Exclusives AND in the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. Remember too, the Stampin’ rewards are changing as well. – no more HOST CODES, but customers will begin receiving rewards with a $20 purchase – and that reward can be used toward their NEXT purchase. It’s quite a nice deal.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Gallery Suite for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop

Posted on April 8, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to ‘the hop’! We have a great lineup of folks participating so be sure you visit each post. The theme for this month’s hop is “for the ladies/ girls” and we can interpret that any way that suits. Mother’s Day cards are difficult for me as my mother is gone and well, it just feels weird. April 8 is actually her birthday, so this works for me. Having said that, my card IS a Mother’s Day card and I will send it to our daughter who has three not so little ones (the oldest is 6’5″, the next is maybe 5’11” and the third is about 5’3″).

My card features products from the new 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. If you haven’t received yours from me yet, be patient… sometimes the mail takes a bit :O( Look for the Beautiful Gallery Suite of products that are showcased on pages 52-57. They are a really fun suite of products: frame dies, floral & leaf dies, stamps & more stamps, an embossing folder, a wonderful set of embellishments, ribbon, DSP – it’s quite grand! I’m also showcasing some of the new 2025-2027 In Colors: Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.

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

Stampin' Yp! Beautiful Gallery Suite Mother's Day card front

I’m loving this rose stamp & die from the Gallery Blooms bundle in this suite! And the Damask Designs embossing folder is evident on the ‘frame’ of this image. The ‘frame is also from the Gallery Blooms bundle. And the sweet background floral die cut is from the Beautiful Motifs Dies in the suite. The ribbon on this card is NOT part of this suite – it IS part of the Botanical Textured Suite of products that are ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. Lastly – the embellishments – gorgeous – are part of the Beautiful Gallery Suite and are called Pressed Flower Motifs. Let’s see, what did I leave out – oh, the DSP… is Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP and from the Beautiful Gallery Suite.

So, how to make this card… The card base is Secret Sea cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4. I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel with the Damask Designs embossing folder; then die cut with the Gallery Blooms Dies that are the frames. This die is so cool – it die cuts two frames at the same time and creates a center panel as well. I used the larger of the frames for this card. I adhered the frame to the desired Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP, then trimmed the DSP even with the frame. I stamped the rose image in the new Secret Sea ink – it’s a deep blue black – on a piece of Basic White. I used Stampin’ Blends in Gray Granit &, Smoky Slate to color the roses and Dark Sea Foam to color the leaves. I die cut with the coordinating die in Gallery Blooms Dies. I then die cut from Basic White, the flower used in the background – which came from the Beautiful Motifs Dies. I placed both floral dies without adhering them so I would know where to stamp my sentiment. The sentiment is from Stippled Roses stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea ink. I then added the two dies to the card, adhering the white die cut with dabs of liquid glue and the roses with dimensionals. I wanted a ribbon, so pulled out the 1/4″ Basic White Ribbon from the Botanical Textured Suite (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and adhered that with a glue dot. I added three of these gorgeous Pressed Flower Motifs around the sentiment. The card needed some sparkle – Wink Of Stella to the rescue on all the roses! I didn’t cover them completely but that Wink of Stella did the trick I was looking for.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery Suite card inside

For the inside – I stamped another sweet rose stamp from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Secret Sea ink in each corner. I decided not to color the roses – let the card front be all the glory.

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Gallery card & envelope

For the envelope, I covered the flap in the remaining piece of the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP & trimmed to fit. I used the same image as the inside of the card & Secret Sea ink to stamp on the flap & on the envelope front. Love, love. This suite of products will be available to you, the customer, on May 6, 2025, less than a month away!

Stampin’ Up! Handmade Designs & Linked Together Dies Sympathy Card

Posted on February 12, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

All of a sudden I am in need of sympathy cards and I want them to be somewhat special. I had not played with the Handmade Designs stamp set (FREE when joining as a Demonstrator through Feb 28, 2025) OR the Linked Together Dies. This is a soft feeling card because of the Peach Pie color in the the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP (FREE with a $60 purchase through Feb.28, 2025). And I was inspired by the card on page 48 in the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog to use the diamond die in this way. I really like how it turned out. The sentiment is from the Hope You Know stamp set, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE.

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card front

So let me tell you how I did this. I stamped the floral image from the Handmade Designs stamp set using two Markers for the ink: Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green, then huffed on the stamp and stamped on Basic White card stock – about 4 x 4 in size. I then took a Peach Pie Marker and followed the edge of the flower stamped to create the second color. For the center of the flower I scribbled with the Daffodil Delight Marker. I die cut the flower using the diamond die, then cut another from plain Basic White card stock – and cut it in half corner to corner in the middle. I attached the stamped piece to the two (now) triangles and set this aside. I cut a piece of the Blooming Impressions 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to a Basic White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then to the Thick Basic White card base (4 14 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). I attached the diamonds that were set aside, directly to the card front. I tied a double bow with Linen Thread and attached it with a glue dot, then added three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I wanted a sentiment and pulled out the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, stamped a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut with paper snips the sentiment. I added dimensionals and added it to the card front.

For the inside, all I did was stamp the sentiment – again from the Hope You Know stamp set and with Pebbled Path ink, on a 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White panel. I added this to the inside of the card – and done!

Stampin' Up! Handmade Designs & Linked In Dies Sympathy card & envelope

For the envelope, more of the Blooming Impressions 12×12 DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front of the envelope, I inked just a portion of the flower with the Pumpkin Pie Marker, huffed on it and stamped. I used the Peach Pie Marker as before to add color.

Stampin’ Up! Delightful Wishes Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on February 6, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

I’m not certain what this fun fold is called… maybe a double fold? It opens from the left, then again from the right. Yo can see the sentiment here in the middle – and it’s from the Delightful Wishes Dies. There are two layers, the background layer is Daffodil Delight and the top layer is Basic White. It’s attached to the card front with mini dimensionals cut in half. The bow is a double bow made with the Satin Ribbon in Daffodil Delight and tied with White Baker’s Twine and attached with a glue dot. The card base and DSP panels is what makes this card the fun fold it is.

Card Base, Lemon Lolly cs: 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side at 1″ and 5 1/4″. Fold both ends toward the center & burnish

DSP panels: cut 2 at 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 but from two different DSP panels. The front layer you see is Floral Delight 12×12; the other layer is from Floral & Gingham Vellum 12×12. Attach these DSP pieces to the card base at each end.

Cut two side panels of Lemon Lolly card stock 7/8 x 5 1/4 and run through the Zinnia 3D embossing folder and adhere to the card panels at each end, covering the ends of the DSP attached to the card base. See photos below.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes Fun Fold card partially open

You can see in this photo that I added a sentiment piece… stamped in Daffodil Delight ink on a Basic White strip 5/8 x 3 1/2 then die cut with Delightful Wishes banner die. This was attached to the vellum panel with glue dots and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins were added at each end.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes Fun Fold card fully open

The center panel is Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 and run through the largest die in the Stitched with Whimsy Dies. Before attaching to the inside of the card, I stamped the floral image from Delightful Wishes stamp set. Since this is a two-step stamp, the first is Lemon Lolly ink, the second is Daffodil Delight ink to give more detail of the flower. Now adhere to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Delightful wishes Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope, I added more of the Floral Delight 12×12 DSp to the flap and used the same two step method to stamp the same flower on the envelope front. This is such a bright, springy card and could be used for several occasions: birthday, encouragement, even a wedding or baby card. Love the versatility.

My main colors were Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. This is a hop, remember, so check out what others on the team have created. Click the next button or a name to take you where you want to go.

Stampin’ Up! Fun Fold with Calming Creek Cards & Mixed Florals Bundle

Posted on January 6, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh my – tomorrow – Jan 7 is the BIG DAY for ordering from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog AND using benefits from the Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Catalog. WooHoo! Excitement is building!!! My card today uses the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and the Mixed Florals Bundle from an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE. I love this bundle (and it’s part of a suite of products too). So… here’s the card.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek Card w/ Mixed Florals Bookfold

I folded the Calming Creek card on it’s score line then scored again at 3 1/4. Between the 4 1/4 & 3 1/4 scores I added adhesive to secure it in place. I wrapped that section with Bordered Ribbon in Basic Beige and secured it with a glue dot at the knot. I took one of the Elements of Text stamps (also an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE) and stamped a Basic Beige panel in two places with Memento Ink – see the image. I die cut the panel with second from the largest Perennial Postage Dies then removed just enough from the left edge for it to fit on the book fold front. Save this removed piece!

On a Basic White piece, I stamped the floral image in Memento ink and colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Wild Wheat, Daffodil Delight and Summer Splash. Once the coloring was complete, I added Wink of Stella to many of the small flowers, to the large flowers and to some areas of the leaves. I die cut this with the appropriate die from the Mixed Florals Dies, added dimensionals to the back and attached it to the card front. I then stamped the super cute lady bugs from Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento ink and colored with Petunia Pop Blends.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek Book fold card inside

On the inside of the card I added the removed cut strip from the Perennial Postage die cut and that was it.

Stampin' Up! Calming Creek card & envelope

Here is the card with it’s own envelope. I love how they coordinate. And yes, I could have stamped a portion of the floral stamp, but chose to keep it simple.

Want to order these products from me? When you shop with me and your purchase is $50 or more – you will receive a free giftie valued up to $`10 that is a Stampin’ Up! item. You will also receive the monthly tutorial – January is the Toadstool and it has some really cute ideas.

Stampin’ Up! New ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Marbled Elegance Suite

Posted on December 6, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good day sweet folks… we had card class yesterday using the the Marbled Elegance products from the suite – ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. This is a sweet, sweet set of stamps/ dies – the Heart of Elegance Bundle. Take a peek at the card and notice the deep embossing on the white heart – love! And what I like a lot is that this card could be a masculine card, birthday card, anniversary card, thinking of you card, or a LOVE card :O) It’s versatile. And… this is a fun fold.

Stampin' Up! Marbled Elegance fun fold side view

I wanted you to see the side view to notice how the center is the fold fold portion. So maybe we call this a ‘center fun fold’??? If you have a better name for it, let me know!

I began with a card base of Real Red 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layered a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. Cut a Basic White 3 1/4 x 8 and score on long side at 4. Attach to card base, centering and even with the Basic White at top & bottom. Cut two strips of DSP 7/8 x 3 3/4 and add to side edges. They will lay up against the center folded panel. (my DSP strips are 3/4″ wide and I didn’t like all the white. Trust me, it looks better with wider strips!) Add the Marbled Elegance DSP 3 x 3 3/4 to the front of this panel. Now cut a heart from Gold Foil and another from Basic White and adhere together. Attach with dimensionals to the fun fold panel. I stopped here but there is more that could be done: add adhesive-backed gold hearts from the suite, add a bow using the gold twine in the suite; or add a sentiment banner across the front. Because I have someone specific in mind for this card, I knew they would prefer something more on the simple side – and it’s gorgeous as is – in my opinion that is.

For the inside.. my students (remember this was a card class) chose to heat emboss with the Gold WOW embossing powder, the sentiment ‘Love you” from the Heart of Elegance stamp set. I took a scrap strip of the DSP and adhered it across the bottom. I will heat emboss a sentiment, just not now.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Friends for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome to our hop! We have a sketch challenge today and it has been fun to play with this. I’ve used the Christmas Friends bundle to make my creation – such cute creatures in this set.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Friends card front

Ok, this is like two cards in one… as the small square with the green stripe opens. I love this little tree and the stars are die cut with the coordinating Christmas Friends Dies and a bit of Peach Pie. I stamped the tree in Garden Green ink and die cut it for the card front, attaching the die cut with dimensionals to a Basic White strip 1/4 x 3 1/2 – then set it aside. Oh- but I get ahead of myself… the base of the entire card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The layers are Garden Green 4 x 5 14 and Nests of Winter DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8, then attached to the Basic White card base with dimensionals.

The small square is 2 3/8 x 4 3/4 folded in half and burnished. Garden Green is adhered both to the square front and the inside cut 2 1/4 x 2 1/4. The Nests of Winter green stripe piece is 2 1/8 x 2 1/8 – both adhered with liquid glue. The mouse is stamped in Memento Black and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Gray granite, Real Red, Shy Shamrock & Petal Pink. I added Wink of Stella to the bell and also to each Peach Pie star. I die cut the mouse and added it to the small square card, also attaching the strip with the tree. For the inside of the square card, I stamped the tree from Christmas Friends stamp set, stampin off first, then stamping on the Basic White panel. This was added to the card front, centering it.

For the inside… a Garden Green panel 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to the inside. A Basic White panel cut to 3 7/8 x 51/8 and stamped with the adorable bear from Christmas Friends stamp set in Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Real Red and Shy shamrock. Wink of Stella was added to the bow and the red dots. I then stamped the sentiment in Garden Green ink – also from Christmas Friends stamp set. I adhered the remaining star and added Wink of Stella to it as well. This was attached to the inside of the card – and all done!

For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP to the flap and the tree stamped in Garden Green ink on the front. Ta Da! These are the cutest little beasties…
