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

Posted on January 2, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello – welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop – 2025!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! We have a sketch challenge today and I have chosen to work with some of the Floral Delight Suite of products from the Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalog, which customers may begin ordering from Jan 7, 2025. WooHoo!

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

I started with a Daffodil Delight card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4. I stamped around the edges with a leaf stamp from the fabulous Delightful
Wishes stamp set – using Old Olive ink. The next layer is Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and added with dimensionals. I cut a panel of Floral Delight 12×12 DSP 3 3/4 x 5 and ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine with the extra fun die from Delightful Wishes Dies. See those cute florals peeking through with the Basic White showing? I adhered this to the Basic White panel then proceeded to stamp the sweet flowers from another of the Delightful Wishes stamp set. This particular stamp is a two-step, so I stamped in Dasffodil Delight ink, stamped off then stamped on a Basic White panel. The second stamp was full strength Daffodil Delight. I die cut these with the coordinating die from Delightful Wishes Dies and set them aside. I pulled out a piece of crumb Cake and die cut the branch using Delightful Wishes Dies, then with a Blending Brush added some Pecan Pie ink to create depth. I added these to the card front, trimming them as needed, then added the die cut flowers on dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie ink and die cut with a label die from this same Delightful Wishes Dies. Once that was added with dimensionals, I added three Tiny Bee Trinkets with a dab of liquid glue, and the Linen T
hread bow with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes inside card

For the inside, I cut another panel of Floral Delight DSP 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to the inside. On a Basic White panel I stamped these sweet flowers in the same manner as those on the front – Daffodil Delight stamped off, then the detail full strength. I used the Old Olive Marker to color just the leaves I wanted to stamp around the flowers. And this was adhered to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes card & envelope

For the envelope… I used yet another piece of Floral Delight DSP to add to the flap. And done! Now – time to see what others have created for the hop. Click the ‘next’ button or click on a name to take you on the hop. Enjoy!

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.

Stampin’ Up! April Paper Pumpkin

Posted on April 20, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning – Paper Pumpkin is a monthly creative & inspirational fun box that comes in the mail. This month it is titled Delicate Wings and has all the makings for nine (9) cards with decorated envelopes. The cards are stunning & I made them according to directions – lots of opportunities to use these! Nine cards ready to send in just over an hour – can’t beat that!

Here they are all complete. Now let’s look at each one.

Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumkin, card 1April — Card 1

This is my favorite card – and the butterfly is just stunning set on a champagne background piece before attaching to the card front. There is a coordinating die set for this month’s PP and will coordinate with the next two months of Paper Pumpkins as well – so this card gives me inspiration of ways to use one of the dies. :O) The second image above is the inside of the card – a punch-out included in this months PP used on another card – this was a leftover .

Stampin' Up! April Paper Pumpkin, card 2 — Card 2

This is also very pretty and each of the butterflies on this card front was a punch-out provided in the kit. I did add Festive Pearls – a retired item – to the body of each butterfly. On the inside of the card is the stamped image in Basic Gray (provided as an inkspot in the kit) and another extra butterfly punch-out.

Here, card 3, you see the butterfly punch-outs and how they were to be used. Love this! And of course, I added Festive Pearls (retired) to each of the punch-outs. The sentiment panel is stamped with a stamp from the kit – again in Basic Gray, and attached with dimensionals. And on each envelope front is a butterfly stamped image from the stamps included in the kit. The envelope flap in each case is embossed with gold butterflies!

If you so desired, color coordination for these are: Basic Beige, Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Champagne.

As mentioned earlier, there is a coordinating die set – called Thanks & Beyond. If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can purchase this die set for $12. Want to learn more about being a Paper Pumpkin subscriber – click here!

Stampin’ Up! Notecards & Earthen Elegance DSP

Posted on April 15, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morn ing! Oh my goodness, we have had a stunningly gorgeous weekend – well, mostly on Sunday. We had sprinkles on Sat & overcast skies. But Sunday was glorious!!! I’ve been working on using my retiring DSP and started with a pack that was nearly gone – Earthen Elegance DSP. I paired it with the beautiful Thoughtful Expressions bundle and some other items. I have six cards to share – some just the card fronts.

Stampin' Up! Notecards & Earthen Elegance DSP — #1

I added Granny Apple Green die cuts & Blends for card #6 & two small leaf dies in Pretty Peacock – also Countryside Corners Dies in two layers. Thoughtful Expressions stamp set & Dies were the foundation and the Earthen Elegance DSP.

My idea is to use as much of the retiring DSP as I can over the next days as they retire April 30. It’s much more fun to use the new supplies, but I want to USE the retiring DSP – bottom line!!! I have more new supplies arriving soon that are in the 24-25 Annual Catalog & can’t wait to share those as well.As with any new catalog, I am offering Designer Series Paper Share & this year, also ribbon shares. Here is a link to see all the details for ordering those shares through me. The new catalog goes live to customers May 1. If yoou do not have a demonstrator, I would be happy to send a catalog.

Stampin’ Up!

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

It is Jan 2 and in just two days – Jan 4 – the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog goes live. I thought it might be fun today take a peek at some of the cards I’ve made with a few of the new stamps/ bundles.

We’ll start with the Bee Mine Suite found on pages 8-10. This suite includes the stamp set & coordinating punch, some very fun Designer Series Paper, ribbon, pillow boxes and embellishments.

Stampin' Up! Offset Gatefold Bee My Valentine

If you click on the photo I’ve created a link to the post where you can see how the card was made. The far left is an offset gatefold card.

On page 12 is the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle that also includes a punch.

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagons w/ Merry Bold & Bright

It’s interesting how different cards can be by changing small elements in them: colors, Designer Series Papers, angles, embellishments.

The next suite I’m sharing cards from is Perennial Lavender Suite with two stamp sets and two sets of dies, Butterfly Accents, DSP, and gems – all found on pages 22-25.

The lovely flower die cuts are just beautiful. In these two cards you can see a couple of sizes of new Perennial Postage Dies – FUN! The DSP is from this suite as are the embellishments and check out the white butterfly… there are several sizes and various shapes too.

Quiet Reflection stamp set can be found on page 63 and is a beautiful stamp with wonderful, heartfelt sayings. Remeber that if you desire to see the original post, just click on the link in the photo.

The last card I’ll share today is made with the Stippled Roses bundle which includes coordinating dies. This can be found on page 64. This bundle has coordinating paper as part of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses in Calypso Coral

Each of these cards shows the Softly Stippled DSP that is free with a qualifying order. It may be found on page 8 of the Sale-a- Bration Catalog. Back to the stamp set though – look at the stunning roses in the 1st & 3rd cards – the detail is wonderful. And the dies – again, the detail is remarkable.

If you do not have a demonstrator and do not have catalogs, I can remedy that – just let me know. :O)

Stampin’ Up! Stippled Roses Birthday

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

Happy Happy 2024!!! Here we are in a new year. Did you make or are you in the process of making resolutions? I was talking with someone the other day and the topic was really about facing a topic and asking ourselves, ‘why are we afraid of it’ (whatever that is?)” And how, if we break it down, take it apart, it’s easier to face or do. First we name it, then ask the question, then break it down. The unknown can be so hard to face. Gosh, I got all philosophical… go figure… enuf of that. Let’s play with paper & create.

I began by stamping this beautiful rose bouquet in Basic Gray ink from Stippled Roses stamp set and coloring it with Stampin’ Blends: Light Calypso Coral, Light Sweet Sorbet and Old Olive for the leaves. I die cut it with the coordinating Stippled Roses Dies. Next decision was what background…. and I really like this Pebbled Path pattern in the Softly Stippled DSP. Now what else to do??? I got out my Vellum Basic SDSP and die cut several (well, three) leaves using the Stippled Roses Dies. The pattern doesn’t show so much, but the vellum leaves are attached to the back of the rose bouquet with Stampin’ Seal.. I added dimensionals and attached it to the Softly Stippled DSP panel. I wanted a bit of accent and Old Olive fit that need and all was adhered to the Pebbled Path card base. The sentiment is also from Stippled Roses and stamped on a Basic White strip with Pebbled Path ink. I trimmed ther ends, added mini dimensionals to the end and a bit of glue to the center area and attached it over the rose bouquet. I added three 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Pebbled Path.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday, inside

For the inside, I stamped the single rose with leaves in Pebbled Path ink – also from the Stippled Roses stamp set – on the Basic White panel; adhered this to Old Olive card stock slightly larger and into the card base.

Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses birthday card & envelope

For the envelope – this same single rose with leaves was stamped on the envelope front and another piece of the Softly Stippled DSP was adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. Done. I really likje the background on this card and how it softens the colors of the bouquet – and the vellum leaves too. Hope you like it as well.

The Softly Stippled DSP can be found on page 8 of the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – which means it is a FREE item with a $50 purchase. The Stippled Roses Bundle can be found in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog on page 64. All other items used to make this card are in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and needs supplies, catalogs, inspiration – reach out to me. I would like to serve your needs.

Stampin’ Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card

Posted on December 29, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Friday morning! Gosh, the 29th of December…. where has the year gone? I’m sharing a new DSP that will be available come Jan 4, 2024 called Flight & Airy 12 x 12 DSP and it is FREE with a $50 order (before taxes & shipping). It is so sweet with birds and delicate branches and soft bright colors. Here’s the card…

Such a sweet bird! I began by die cutting the Flight & Airy DSP with the third from smallest Countryside Corners Dies, punched a couple of leaves from Vellum using the Bough Punch.I adhered these to the back of the DSP with Stampin’ Seal. I also looked at the backs of the Flight & Airy DSP for my background paper & chose this pretty Pecan Pie piece, adhered it to a Pecan Pie card base. I put dimensionals on the die cut DSP piece and attached it to the card front. I stamped the sentiment using another new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog called Stippled Roses stamp set (it has coordinating dies!) and Pecan Pie ink. I adhered the stamped piece to another strip of Pecan Pie, put dimensionals on it and attached it under the focal point. The last touch was adding Blooming Pearls (3) in Garden Green – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthday Card, inside

For the inside, I fussy cut one of the birds on a branch with leaves and attached it with liquid glue to the Basic White & Flight & Airy panel – and adhered all to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Flight & Airy Birthdsay card & envelope

I found a scrap with a wee bird peeking up and fussy cut that too and adhered it to the envelope front. More of the Flight & Airy DSP to the flap and done! Such a sweet card!

So I’ve mentioned the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-bration Catalog – and the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog – both going live Jan 4 2024. If you don’t have these, please reach out to me and we can ‘fix’ that :O) While you’re at it, consider checking out the Stampin’ Up!

Stampin’ Up! Meandering Meadows DSP with Frame

Posted on December 24, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Christmas Eve morning and excitement is in the air! Before I get too far into my post and the card of the day, let me say thank you to those who follow my blog, post comments, purchase from me, are on my team – all that. Stampin’ Up! has afforded me the opportunity to share my creativity in a whole new way and I so appreciate all of you for sharing in my journey. So, thank you.

Family arrives later today for several days and I will be taking a bit of a break while they are here. I want my focus to be on them and not running to my computer to check for messages concerning this paper crafting business. Yes, each of you is important but family is a priority while they are here – thank you for understanding.

I had this Meandering Meadows DSP on my desk still and couldn’t help but continue playing with it. This time I added this wonderful ‘frame’ that is part of the Garden Meadows Dies. It is die cut from Very Vanilla card stock and added to the DSP with dimensionals. The DSP is adhered to Melon Mambo card stock just slightly larger and that is attached to a Blueberry Bushel card base with dimensionals. I added three Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies buzzing around the flowers for a bit of ‘meadow feeling’.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink on a Very Vanilla panel, then the flowers at the bottom in Garden Green ink. This is a precious stamp! The Very Vanilla panel is added to another Melon Mambo piece just slightly larger then into the inside of the card base – and done!

On the envelope I adhered the remaining piece of the Meandering Meadows 6×6 piece, just turned it to the other side. Then stamped that same sweet flower bunch in Garden Green ink on the front.

This set can be found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES of the Stampin’ Up! store – which you may find right here: Garden Meadows stamp set & dies, Meandering Meadows DSP AND the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds elements. The card stock, envelopes and inks are all part of the Annual catalog which may be found here.

Coming soon is the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog and with that, it means some products from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog will be retiring.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Reflection Stamp set

Posted on December 19, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! ‘Tis Tuesday Dec 19… we decorated our Christmas tree last night. It has become tradition to have a couple of family members come for dinner & tree ornament placement on the tree. Hubby got up Sunday morning at 4 AM and put all the lights on – 6-7 strands worth. It is thick with lights :O) Anyway – that isn’t why you’re here. Let’s check out this new stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog…

I used Mossy Meadow as the card base, Basic White and Neutrals 6×6 DSP then stamped a Basic White panel for the top layer. The stamping used Gray Granite ink, which looks a bit soft brown & gray. It’s perfect for this ‘scene’ – it’s a woodsy shadow look that is quite peaceful. And it’s meant to be. The sentiment is also from the Quiet Reflection stamp set and it was stamped with Gray Granite ink, as I mentioned earlier. I adhered the Basic White strip to Gray Granite card stock, put dimensionals on that and attached it to the stamped panel. As a final step, I added three Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots around the tree shadow.

For the inside of the card, the sentiment from Quiet Reflection is stamped in Gray Granite ink on the Basic White panel. I added a strip of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow to the bottom – and that was it. Love this font!!!

Stampin' Up! Quiet Reflection card & envelope

For the envelope – more of the Neutrals 6×6 DSP in Mossy Meadow adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that was it – kept very simple.

This stamp set may be found on page 63 in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in receiving a catalog, please connect with me.
