Stampin’ Up! Doggone Friends Note

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

I had such fun working on this card. For one thing, I’m a dog lover and this stamp, Doggone Friends, just makes me smile. It’s single large stamp in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I used the Notes of Nature stamp set (also from that catalog) to create the sentiment and taped off a portion to use just the part I needed.

Here’s the scoop:

* Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2
* Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 run through the Basics 3D embossing Folder (ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), Cross Hatch – adhere to card base front
* Stamp Doggone Friends image on Basic White with Memento ink; trim to 2 3/4 x 4 1/4
* Add stamped image to Crumb Cake card stock – 2 7/8 x 4 3/8; then to Basic Black card stock 3 x 4 1/2
* Wrap with Black Twine from Basic Twine Essentials Pack, twice around and tie bow. Secure bow with glue dot.
* Add these to card front with dimensionals.
* Using 2″ Circle Punch (ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), punch a Vellum circle; add over twine with mini dimensionals
* Stamp sentiment from Notes of Nature stamp set in Memento ink, taping off the rest of the sentiment. Adhere to Vellum with Stasmpin’ Seal
* Add Classic Matte Dots for embellishment

Stampin' Up! Doggone Friends card, inside

For the inside…Trim remaining piece from original stamping to fit Basic White panel (4 x 5 1/4). Mine is about 1 1/4 as I wanted full dog faces to show!

Stampin' Up! Doggone Friends card & envelope

For the envelope… A bit of Zany Zoo DSP for the envelope as I wanted to stick with the black & white idea :O) For the front, I cut another section of the remaining stamped piece of Doggone Friends for the card front and adhered it in place with Stampin’ Seal. And that was it! I LOVE THIS CARD!!!! It’s friendly, can be used for a man or woman and for all kinds of occasions. The other part is, change the colors, use just about any DSP in lieu of the stamped panel, use ribbon instead of twine. It’s a fabulous layout.

Stampin’ Up! Saint Nicholas Cards

Posted on November 18, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Saturday! What are YOU up to these days? Thanksgiving is next week; Christmas is right around the corner… I counted my Christmas Cards yesterday and realized I must “get hot” as I don’t have nearly enough – :O(. Here are two cards using Saint Nicholas Dies and showing off the DSP two sides. I’ll be curious if you prefer one over the other.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas Dies, card 2

Card 1 uses Mossy Meadow card stock for the base and Shining Christmas SDSP (an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE DSP) plus the fun Burlap Ribbon (from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack.) St. Nick is die cut from the fabulous Traditions of St. Nick DSP using the Saint Nicholas Dies. I added three Festive Pearls under the Saint Nicholas stamp set sentiment.

Card 2 uses the Traditions of St. Nick DSP, Thick Basic White card stock for the card base, an embossed panel suing the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, the Large Check Ribbon, Stylish Shaped Dies circle and a sentiment from Wishes All Around stamp set, and of course a different St Nick directly die cut from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP. I also added three Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins in white that are difficult to see in this photo.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nickolas cards, inside card 1

Here are the insides of these two cards… look at the wonderful DSP!Each of the ‘add-ons’ on the Basic White panel are from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP: the tree are fussy cut and adhered in place with liquid glue; St Nick was die cut from an edge and also added with liquid glue.

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas card 1, card & envelope

Stampin' Up! Saint Nicholas card 2, card & envelope

As you can see… coordinating DSP on the envelope flaps; a sentiment stamped from the Saint Nicholas stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on card 1; on card 2 another fussy ct tree from the Traditions of St. Nick DSP. Same layout for both, yet very different.

Stampin’ Up! Translucent Florals Birthday Card

Posted on October 25, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello again! It’s Wednesday, midweek and I’m wondering how your week is proceeding. We are hoping to secure our sailboat this week for winter storage. Winds can be an issue for sailing into the channel where we store the boat, but Thursday looks to be on our side. Here’s hoping. I played this afternoon with a Designer Series Paper found in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES side of the store – Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP. It has spring-like colors and yes, beautiful florals/ leaves. And it coordinates with Translucent Florals Bundle (stamps & dies). It’s a beautiful set, very feminine, and I enjoyed playing with it.

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals & Delightfully Floral DSP

The Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP takes venter stage here, really showing off. The flowers are in Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Calypso Coral. I used inks from the first two colors + Parakeet Party as an accent. The card base is Fresh Freesia in a top fold A2 size. The next three layers are together & on dimensionals attached to the card base: Delightfully Floral DSP on the non-floral side, Basic White and the front layer of Delightfully Floral DSP with these gorgeous medium flowers. I stamped the hexagon dots with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set & Berry Burst ink on a Basic White scrap, then stamped the sentiment using the Translucent Florals stamp set and more Berry Burst ink, then punched it out with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I set this aside and stamped two florals designs from the Translucent Florals stamp set, both in Fresh Freesia ink and die cut them with dies from the Translucent Floral Dies. I adhered the larger floral to the hexagon with dimensionals, then the smaller one close to it with a single dimensional. I added Stampin’ Seal to the back of the hexagon and wrapped a Parakeet Party ribbon from the Ribbon Due Combo Pack in a ‘Z’, I added dimensionals to the hexagon, covering the ribbon and attached this to the card front. For afinal touch I attached Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Berry Burst on the hexagon. And… the front is done!

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals birthday card, inside

For the inside, I added a piece of Parakeet Party card stock to the card base. I proceeded to stamp in Berry Burst ink, this larger floral from the Translucent Florals stamp set, then stamped the center in Pretty Peacock ink with the appropriate stamp from this same set on a Basic White panel. I stamped the inside sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink for a nice contrast. I added the same Adhesive-Backed Sequins in Berry Burst around the flower. This was added right over the Parakeet Party panel and the card was complete!

Stampin' Up! Translucent Florals & Delightfully Floral DSP card & envelope

For the envelope, I covered the flap in another panel of the Delightfully Floral 12×12 DSP and trimmed it to fit. For the envelope front, I stamped this delicaste image from the Translucent Florals stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink – done, done. let’s see, have I left out anything? When I first saw this DSP, my thought was – too bold, too bright, too, too. Now that I have it and am mplaying with it, I love it! One of the things I like about it is the contrasting, non-normal colors. I find it gives me creativity. You may see more of this layout in the days ahead!

Stampin’ Up! Gift Bags #2 and 3

Posted on September 25, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! We have returned from convention in Pittsburgh and today I am d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g. Yep – ever return and feel rung out or run over by a mack truck? It’s not quite that bad, but … I made a gift bag last night and took pictures then realized I did it sorta wrong. This morning I made another for this post :O) and I’m hoping instructions will be more clear.

Stampin' Up! Traditions of St Nick gift bag.1

Gift bag made last night after many hours of travel – not decorated yet, but at least has a ribbon! The Designer Series Paper is called Traditions of St. Nick DSP and is found as part of the Special Release on the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Here’s the how to put this together with photos to help you create it.

DSP is cut 6 x 12 (please make note… better if DSP is non directional) This is Traditions of St Nick 12 x 12 DSP
- score on the long side at 1 1/2, 5 3/4, is 7 1/4 and 11 1/2
- score on the short side at 1 1/2 and 5 1/2. (the 5 1/2 end is the top of the gift bag)
Trim along score lines of the long side to the 1 1/2 score line on the short side
Remove excess ‘end’ as shown in photo

Stampin' Up! Traditions of St Nick gift bag.2

Please look at photos to the left for proper cutting lines, Then add Tear n’ Tape at spots indicated in the near photo – there are four places. The area at the bottom of the photo becomes the side of the gift bag while the cut flaps become the bottom of the gift bag. The next photos will show how to fold the gift bag.

Fold gift bag as shown in photo below
Remove right length of Tear n’ Tape and close

Stampin' Up! Traditions of St Nick gift bag.5

Remove Tear ‘n Tape from short flaps and fold in; remove Tear ‘n Tape from long flap and fold in; then fold in the remaining long flap.
Secure by using a bone folder and rub against all flaps from the inside of the gift bag.
Pinch in at top and punch holes – see photos

Stampin' Up! Traditions of St Nick Gift bag.6

Stampin' Up! Traditions of St Nick Gift Bag.7

Run Ribbon through holes and tie bow. On the red gift bag I used Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack.
Heres’ a photo of the bag again completed as a side view and one of the front view.

Stampin' Up! Traditions of St Nick Gift Bag.8

The first gift bag I made with this design was made with foil paper and turned out really cute, but I had to be so careful when scoring not to tear through the DSP. This is much stronger and I did not have to be so careful. These bags are not decorated yet. I will share a photo later in the week fully decorated :O) But now – you can make your own gift bag with ease :O) HERE is a link to the foiled bag.

Stampin’ Up! Joy of Noel and Layers

Posted on September 23, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! I’m away right now, attending a convention that has nothing to do with Stampin’ Up!. Can you imagine? :O) The convention is in Pittsburgh, a city of bridges. I learned yesterday Pittsburgh has more bridges than Venice, France, numbering 463 (I think that’s the right number). And they are all so different. But this post isn’t about Pittsburgh, this is a post about today’s creation.

This card has lots of layers using the Joy of Christmas 12×12 DSP. It is beautiful. You can see I used three different designer series papers, with the very top one as kind of a background piece for the sentiment banner. I used the Banners Pick a Punch to make the pointy ends. It’s hard to pick a favorite of these papers. Prior to adhering this strip to the card front, I wrapped it in Metallic Woven Ribbon in Parakeet Party. There are so many shades of green in this paper, this ribbon just adds a sparkle of fun.

The sentiment is stamped using Joy of Noel stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on a Basic White panel that was then die cut with Something Fancy Dies. I used Gold Holly Leaves and Loose Holly Gems to decorate the banner. Attached with Stampin’ Seal to the basck of the banner is a Pine bough die cut from Shaded Spruce card stock using a die from Joy of Noel dies. I’m thinking a gold foil pine bough might have been nice as well.

The layers of the card are…

Shaded Spruce card base 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2
Cherry Cobbler 4 x 5 1/4 adhered directly to the card base.
Basic White 3 3/4 x 5 adhered to Joy of Christmas DSP 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, dimensionals on the Basic White and centered onto the card front
Basic White 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 and Joy of Christmas DSP 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 adhered together, dimensionals on the Basic White and again centered onto the card front.
The bannered piece is 3/4 x 4 1/4, trimmed with the Banners Pick A Punch, wrapped in the Metallic Woven Ribbon and adhered with adhesive.
The sentiment banner is attached with dimensionals.

For the inside… Cherry Cobbler layer (4 x 5 1/4) adhered to the card base; the Basic White panel (3 3/4 x 5) is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and Shaded Spruce ink using stamps from the Joy of Noel stamp set then added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Joy of Noel card & envelope

The envelope got more of this gorgeous Joy of Christmas DSP adhered to the flap and trimmed to fit. On the envelope front, I stamped two holly sprigs in Shaded Spruce ink then added tiny dots of Pearlized Enamel Effects. This needed to be set aside to dry so the Enamel Effects doesn’t smear. Love this card and envelope and hope you do as well.

To order this gorgeous Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Joy of Noel bundle, please visit the Mini Catalog shown below. Click on the banner and it will take you directly to shopping with me in the Mini Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Z-Fold Pop Up Card w/ Gorgeously Made

Posted on August 16, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Wednesday morning! We took our walk early this morning and it was sprinkling just a bit – and you know what, it was refreshing. :O) But you aren’t here for that… I have a really F-U-N card for you today.

Stampin' Up! Z-Fold card w/ Gorgeously Made

What I like about this card: colors, three dimension, texture and fun fold! All these wrapped up in one :O) I used Masterfully Made DSP for each of the panels; Gorgeously Made bundle for the die cuts and sentiment; Adhesive-Backed Sequin Trio Pack and Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack; and Vellum. The card base is Berry Burst. Here’s a view from the top.

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold

Posted on August 5, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Saturday! We had a couple of days of wonderful temps and now we are back to humidity. Ugh. Well, this is summer and I’m not going to wish it away! Let’s take a peek at my card for today.

I’m going to confess, I don’t know the name of this fun fold and it needs a name. Help me out here, folks – let’s name it! The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 2 1/2, 3 3/4, 6 3/4 and 8 1/4. Burnish the folds in an accordion style: mountain, valley, mountain, valley.

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck Fun Fold top view.

I used Gray Granite for my card base. The next layer is Basic White with a layer of DSP: I used Subtles and Neutrals 6×6 DSP. How these layers are attached is important: leaving a border of the card base in each case.

In the first photo, the card base border is about 1/4″ on the left, top & bottom, with the excess free. In the second photo the same is true, 1/4″ from scoreline on left and 1/4″ top & bottom b order. The final panel is smaller and the layer is Pool Party with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party.

Now let’s decorate each panel:

Panel 1: The circle is die cut from Pool Party using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered in the center. The chicken and skateboard (from Hey Chuck stamp set) are stamped in Memento ink on Basic White and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Gray Granite, Lemon Lolly and Pecan Pie (skateboard). Both were die cut with the Hey Chuck Dies, dimensionals added and adhered to the center of the circle. The sentiment is also from Hey Chuck stamp set and stamped in Memento ink then die cut with the Gorgeously Made banner die and added with dimensionals. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight were added for sparkle.
Panel 2: Subtles 6×6 DSP in Gray Granite to the Basic White panel. Die cut the rising sun from Lemon Lolly card stock using the Hey Chuck Dies and color with a bit of Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. Stamp the fence from Hey Chuck stamp set on a scrap of One Horse Open Sleigh 6×6 DSP (ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) in Memento ink and die cut with die from Hey Chuck Dies. Adhere the fence with dimensionals then slip the rising sun behind adhering with liquid glue. The final step for this panel is the sentiment stamped in Memento ink using the Hey Chuck stamp set.
Panel 3: Pool Party card stock with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party layered together. The birthday cake from Hey Chuck stamp set is stamped in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Pool Party and Wink of Stella on the icing. This was die cut with the smallest circle die from Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered with liquid glue. The sentiment banner was stamped on Basic White using another stamp from Hey Chuck stamp set and Memento ink. It was die cut with a banner die from Nested Essentials Dies, dimensionals added to the back and attached. The ribbon is Grosgrain Ribbon in Pool Party added under the banner with glue dots. Three Glossy Dots Assortment in Pool Party were added to the banner for more sparkle… and the card was done.

Stampin' Up! Hey Chuck
Fun Fold card & envelope

For the envelope… more Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pool Party was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. Another chicken from Hey Chuck stamp set was stamped in Memento ink on the envelope front and colored with Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Gray Granite. HINT: When coloring with Stampin’ Blends on an envelope, always slip a heavy card stock inside to prevent color bleeding through to the back of the envelope. :O)

Fun, bright card, right? Ok, what else is going on in the Stampin’ Up! world…
