Stampin’ Up! NEW Friendly Foliage in Greens

Posted on November 11, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

First of all, happy Veterans Day to all our veterans out there. Thank you for your sacrifices and service to our country. You are amazing human beings and I am so grateful. Big salutes to those who have served in the past, and to those currently serving – bless you… and your families, for they have served in a different way and suffered too. ❤️

Now – my card for today is a NEW November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release called Friendly Foliage.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Foliage card front

This card has some layers… and begins with a card base in Pool Party with a layer of Nests of Winter DSP. The next two layers are Basic White and Woven Textures DSP. These all all attached directly to the card base. The next layers are attached with dimensionals: Basic White layered with another pattern in Nests of Winter then the Basic White stamped & die cut image from Friendly Foliage. This image is the focal point of the card… stamped in Shaded Spruce ink, die cut and attached with liquid glue. I then added Wink of Stella to all the leaves, bringing more attention to the pretty image. I splattered Wink of Stella to the entire card as well. While that was drying, I stamped the sentiment from Friendly Foliage in Pool Party ink on the Basic White strip and added it with dimensionals as well. Final touch… three Opal Rounds.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Foliage card inside

For the inside of my card I added a layer of Woven textures DSP as a background to my Basic White stamped panel. The sentiment is from Friendly Foliage stamp set and stamped in Pool Party ink. The sweet leaves are a die cut from the beautiful Friendly Foliage Dies.

For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP was added to the envelope – no naked envelopes for me.

Stampin' Up! Friendly Foliage card & envelope

Due to the colors, this is a definite feminine card. When I create with this next, I’m going to really try to make a more masculine one. When my hubby saw this card, he called the image pussy willows and I hadn’t thought of that. Pussy Willows are definitely brown, so next time, masculine, in brown tones. Card cuts for this card are listed below.

Stampin’ Up! Triple Panel Card with Thoughtful Journey DSP

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

Hello Saturday! I have two cards for you today – both Triple Panel Cards (my name for them :O) made with a single piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP. Because of the colors that ebb and flow in this extraordinary DSP, each card has a different color card base – reflecting & highlighting the main ‘theme’ color. Again, these two cards are from the same panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP!

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey in Petunia Pop

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Journey in Misty Moonlight

Each of the triple panels are 1 x 4 layered on card stock 3 1/4 x 4 1/8. Another layer of Thoughtful Journey DSP (4 x 5 14) was added to the card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2). The triple panel was attached to the card base with dimensionals. Each has a coordinating ribbon: 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Petunia Pop & 1/4″ Misty Moonlight Ribbon. Both also have Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots on appropriate cards: Berry Burst & Night of Navy. The sentiments are from The Right Words stamp set: Petunia Pop ink die cut with Traditional Labels Dies & Misty Moonlight ink, fussy cut. The sentiments were added with dimensionals over the ribbon.

A strip of Thoughtful Journey was added to each inside panel, one is 1/2″, the other 5/8″. Again, sentiments are in Petunia Pop ink & Misty Moonlight ink using The Right Words stamp set.

What is so interesting about these two cards, is how totally different they are, yet the same design from the same 6×6 piece of Designer Series Paper. Stampin’ Up! just makes it so easy! Love, love.

Stampin’ Up! Floral Charm Notepad Holder

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

Hello from my craft room in New Jersey. Yesterday I was creating a notepad holder for my purse. It’s a notepad I purchased some time ago and I like to dress things up a bit when I carry them with me, so no simple ‘just a notepad’ kind of gal 😀 I could give you measurements, but this is not a standard notepad to purchase from a store like Staples; this is a notepad I had on hand. I got my inspiration by looking at several notepads on Pinterest and then settled on one from The Paper Pixie, and made adjustments for this particular notepad.

This just turned out so much better than I thought it would that I’m extra pleased. I began using the backing from our Stampin’ Up! DSP papers – you know, the ones that tell you what the DSP is. They are white and fairly sturdy, not too bulky. I wanted something more than just card stock since I would have it in my handbag. Once I cut it down to the size I needed, I added the Floral Charm DSP, then scored and burnished. Additional supplies used were: the new Creative Haven Dies (Nov. ONLINE EXCLUSIVE), Round We Go Dies (the larger scalloped circle), Stylish Shapes Dies (the stamped circle), Notes & Totes stamp set for the sentiment and finally Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots, oh, and Blackberry Bliss ink for the sentiment on front. I also used Velcro dots and in my stash- a perfect matching pen from an ON Stage event – bonus! 😁 It even writes in purple!

Here are additional photos… the one on left shows the top decorated notepad – love this added ‘charm’! The photo on right shows the ‘holder’ for the notepad. Since I have another notepad that will fit in this holder, this makes it extra nice to replace. I made this support 3 1/2″ for added support. The width of this is the width of the notepad plus an additional 1″ on each end to secure into the inside of the notepad holder. When securing it, I found it best to add adhesive to the ends while it was wrapped around the notepad & add it in place. This way, it is in the proper place to hold the notepad. Once the adhesive is dry, remove the notepad.

Stampin' Up! Floral Charm Notepad holder, open & with notepad

Stampin' Up! Mini Notepad holder inside without notepad

Stampin' Up! Floral Charm Notepad Holder w/ SU! pen

Here you can see the extension to hold the pen – and that in fact it really is a SU!~ pen!!! The holder for the pen is wide (1 3/4″), again for security, so it doesn’t flop but is held in place. It is approximately 1 7/8 and scored at each end 3/8″. I used a bone folder to ’round’ the area between the score lines so it would wrap easily around the pen. Each pen is a bit different in dimension, so I encourage you to know what pen you will be using so this ‘pen holder’ fits the individual pen.

I hope you enjoyed this project today. I had extra fun creating it. Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Make someone happy by sending them a handmade card (or project) filled with ❤️

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

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

Welcome to our blog hop! We have a fun sketch challenge today ands I’ve chosen to work with the new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE suite of products called Brushed with Beauty. As a demonstrator I was able to purchase this early in a pre-order and I l-o-v-e it! The colors are really ‘up my alley’ so to speak. Yesterday I shared several links to cards I made with this suite of products. You can see that post here

And … today is hubby & my anniversary… of several/ many years. I am so blessed and thankful. So, today’s card is in celebration of that. ❤️

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card front

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and adhered this striped pattern (it’s the ‘b’side to the floral paper showing) directly to the base. I then cut a smaller piece of the same DSP (the ‘a’side) and adhered it to Very Vanilla just slightly larger. This was added to the front with dimensionals. Next I stamped the larger floral outline stamp in Calypso Coral on a scrap of Very Vanilla and colored it with Stampin’ Blends Bronze & Ivory. I die cut this and the detail die (this one is from the Vellum in the suite of products) and attached the two together with a glue dot in the center of the flower. I attached a Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center in Calypso Coral and added it to the card front with liquid adhesive. I die cut two elements from the Words of Beauty Dies: the background layer in very Vanilla and the detail of the word in Petal Pink that had an adhesive sheet attached to it. After die cutting I put them together & added them to the card front with mini dimensionals. I added two more of the Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral.

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty products, inside card

For the inside… I was playing around with color for the flower… stamped the outline stamp on a Very Vanilla scrap in Calypso Coral but colored this one with Stampin’ Blends 1000 & 500. The 1000 is the pinkish color and the 500 is the soft shade of brown. After die cutting the flower & adhering it to a Very Vanilla insert, I added a single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the Crumb Cake kind of color. The top sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso using the Words of Beauty stamp set. The lower sentiment is stamped in Petal Pink ink using the Sweetly Scripted stamp set.

Stampin' Up! 11/06 hop Brushed with Beauty card & envelope

Keeping this envelope really simple… another panel of the Brushed with Beauty DSP showcasing a Petal Pink coloring, was added to the flap and trimmed to fit. You can purchase these products from my online store – see the link below!

Stampin’ Up! Nests of Winter DSP & Sketch

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

WOW – November! Halloween is behind us & Thanksgiving is coming soon. What a time to be be thankful & grateful… yes, yes. I’m thankful for all of you & grateful for this fun craft which I so enjoy. So MANY blessings… lest I get sappy… let me share today’s card.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card front

This cute little bird has been sitting on my desk for a bit. He was supposed to be used on another project & well, I got busy with other cards, designs & stuff. He was die cut using a Spotlight on Nature Die, cut directly from the Nests of Winter DSP. I mounted him on a Cherry Cobbler circle die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies. Then I pulled various papers from the Nests of Winter DSP pack.

the cross panel is 2 1/4 x 3 7/8
the two vertical panels are 1 x 3 & 1 1/4 x 4

These were adhered on the Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 pice which was attached to yet another panel of DSP 4 x 5 1/4. These were added to the Gray Granite card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) with dimensionals. The circles were also added to the card with dimesnionals. Then these wonderful Streaked Dots were scattered for additional charm.

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP, inside card

For the inside of the card I fussy cut with my paper snips this adorable bird & adhered it with liquid glue to the Basic White insert (4 x 5 1/4).

Stampin' Up! Nests of Winter DSP card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Nests of Winter DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. DONE! Cut the DSP panels ahead of time & this card layout is a quick 1, 2, 3. Add a sentiment depending on the front focal point, or not, as I didn’t here. It’s easy to add a message inside when this card is needed for something special.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop Christmas Fun Fold

Posted on October 30, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

We have a perfect challenge to get us excited about Christmas! Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop 😀 I’m using the Bauble Blooms bundle to create this fun fold today.

I’m using a couple of different coordinating Designer Series papers for my card today: the bauble is die cut from Need for Tweed 12 x 12, the front layer on the flap & the card front is Traditions of Christmas. I love how they work together, brining together both gold & rustic patterns. Now let’s open & see the flap open then the entire card.

Stampin' Up! Bauble Blooms flap card, open

Above you can see all the various papers used to create a really eye-catching card. And, it really is not terribly bulky. Using Designer Series Papers that are lighter weight for layers help keep the card light for traditional postage. Let’s do a quick step by step…

Directions:

Die cut the bauble with the Bauble Blooms Dies from both DSP & Old Olive card stock – this creates strength to put on dimensionals. If you so desire, you can adhere the two panels together, then die cut – it works well!
Cut layers for card base: Cherry cobbler 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4; flap is 3 5/8 x 3 5/8 scored on one side at 1/2″: add to card base centering top to bottom with score line at edge. You must make certain you can close the flap over the closedc card. If necessary you can trim 1/16 from card front.
Decorate as shown: layers are 3 x 3 1/2 for flap front & inside flap; card front layers are 2 tone card stock 4 x 5 1/4, DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
Inside layers are: front inside left – DSP 4 x 5 1/4; stamped section – 4 x 5 1/4
Additional decorations were die cut from: Peaceful Gardens Glimmer Paper & Need for Tweed, plus Old Olive card stock & gold foil
Embellishments are Traditional Sparkling Sequins

Stampin’ Up! Regal Distressed Patterns with Pearls of Beauty & Words of Beauty

Posted on October 25, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Mixing old & new is almost magical – it brings life to papers you have had for a while, making it possible to create with new eyes. I’m sharing another accordion fold card made with the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP that is Pretty Peacock in color and pairing it with the dies from Pearls of Beauty – a new November 4 release in the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP w/ Pearls of Beauty bundle accordion fold

These gorgeous dies from the new Pearls of Beauty bundle were die cut from Gold Foil and from Vellum. Yes – Vellum is back! Vellum is one of the products in the Brushed with Beauty Suite. I cut a panel of Gold Foil 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 & from the center die cut the two leaf dies – using the Pearls of Beauty Dies. I cut a panel of the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP 4 x 5 1/4 & added it to the Gold Foil – no one will suspect die cut were taken from the center! Both were added to the Pretty Peacock card base. The gold foil die cuts were added with liquid glue – except under four of the larger leaves I added a dimensional for added depth. I die cut the delicate floral edging detail from Vellum & attached it with a glue dot in the center of the flower. One single Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the center covers the glue dot. I added a double bow from white Baker’s Twine & attached it with a glue dot as well. Gorgeous!

Stampin' Up! Regal Distressed Patterns accordion folkd with Pearls of Beauty

For the inside… stunning. The accordion fold is a panel of DSP (here it is Regal Distressed Patterns SDSP in white) cut 4 x 12 and scored at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9, then added to the card base with equal edges on both ends – only adhering those 3″ ends. Here I used the Branching Out Dies to die cut two Basic White panels adhering them 1/4″ from the edge of the paper on each end. The Pearls of Beauty single flower is stamped in Flirty Flamingo full strength for the flower outline, then using the ‘filler’ stamp and Flirty Flamingo ink, stamping off once. I die cut the stamped image with the Pearls of Beauty Dies and added it to the upper left corner. I die cut the delicate Vellum edging of the flower and added it with a single glue dot & a Pearls of Beauty embellishment in the center. I stamped the leaf image on the Vellum in Soft Sea Foam ink, heat set it with my heat tool, then die cut it with the Pearls of Beauty Dies and slipped it gently under the flower, using liquid glue to attach it. On the lower right corner… I stamped the flowers in the same manner as the first…outline stamp in Flirty Flamingo full strength and the filler stamp in stamped off Flirty Flamingo ink. I added three small Pearls of Beauty embellishments.

For the envelope… more of the Regal Distressed Pattern SDSP added to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front, this gorgeous flower stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink in the 2 step method described above.

Stampin’ Up! Ornamental Christmas Cards

Posted on October 20, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Morning Monday! Whew – the start of another week in October… Where has the month gone? For me, it has flown by – how about for you? I have a pretty set of cards for you today, all the same layout, same dies, same ribbon, same embellishments, just different colors in the Season of Elegance SDSP. I simply couldn’t quit making these. I was inspired by another demonstrator, Julie Gilson.

Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas card 1

Stampin' Up! Ornamental Christmas card 2

Card 1 is in Pretty Peacock. Card 2 is in Basic Beige. Card 3 is in Cherry Cobbler. All three use the same Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and similar layers.

Card 4 uses a brand new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder, coming in the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release – available Nov 4. It also has similar layers and comes in Mossy Meadow.

For sentiments on the card fronts I used the Christmas Words Collage bundle die cut from Gold Foil and also Basic White (for the word peace). This set embosses the words & die cuts at the same time, so it’s quite easy to have a bunch words at the ready 😀

Here are the insides of each of those cards – a simple strip of the Season of Elegance DSP added to the bottom of the inside panel.

And below… the envelopes for these beautiful cards – more of the same Season of Elegance SDSP adhered & trimmed to fit the flap. Simple, elegant finish to these stunning cards.

You will notice some of these are on card bases 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 while others are on card bases of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. It honestly didn’t matter either way, so if I had that already cut, that’s what I used. Super fun cards to make multiples of while also making them unique in color & words.

Stampin’ Up! Love & Courage for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

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

Welcome to Thursday & our fabulous hop! We have a theme challenge today called “Clean & Simple” and I confess… this was not easy for me. I made a card but it used a die & ribbon, but was a step ‘up’ so to speak. And actually I like this card better. 😀

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Do you see what I did here? I created a cross with score lines. So, stamp first (Pretty In Pink was used here), turn the card over & with your scoring tool, score lines where you want them. And why flip the card over? I wanted the score lines to be raised on the front, not indented. Make sense? After scoring, I added the stamped piece to a larger layer, then attached those to the card front with dimensionals. Final touch – Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems. So so easy…

For the inside… another stamp in the Love & Courage stamp set is the single word HOPE – – it’s stamped in Pretty In Pink on a Basic White insert piece then added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Love & Courage card & envelope

For the envelope… a piece of Subtles 6×6 DSP in Petal Pink was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. The traditional cancer ribbon from Love & Courage stamp set was stamped in Pretty in Pink on the flap & on the envelope front.

This is the first card I mentioned that I made that didn’t seem to fit the ‘clean & simple’ challenge. The DSP in the background is 2025-2027 In Color 6×6 in Strawberry Slush and the ribbon & inking is also Strawberry Slush.

Time to hop around – see what others on the team have created… click the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Either way, check them all. 😀 Enjoy the hop!

Stampin’ Up! Merry Christmas stamp set & Winter Meadow DSP

Posted on September 28, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello folks… it’s Sunday and going to be another hot & humid day here on the East Coast The trees are beginning to turn but the weather remains h-o-t! So we adjust, right? But to my card…actually cards – I have three, all with the same layout but with different papers from the Winter Meadows Designer Series Papers. I was on a roll and absolutely loving this new (to me) stamp set. I bought it during the 15% off stamp sale 😀

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card &envelope 1

Card 1: Here I used the patterned paper to cover the card base and to create the strip. For Coordinating colors I used Blueberry Bushel and the 2nd largest of the Branching Out Dies to layer the Basic White sentiment layer. The large Merry Christmas was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink. With this sentiment label on dimensionals I was able to add die cuts of pine boughs & berries die cut in Shaded Spruce, Lost Lagoon and the berries in Blueberry Bushel. I added Wink of Stella to the berries. The embellishments are Shades of Green Hexagons. On the inside, I die cut the same size panel of Basic White as the white panel on front and stamped the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card 2

Card 2: For this card, I used another of the papers in the Winter Meadow DSP pack for the background and the strip. I used Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in silver and Garden green for the pine bough die cuts and Real Red for the berries. Wink of Stellas was added to the berries. The ink for the Basic White sentiment panel (Branching Out Dies of course) is Misty Moonlight. The embellishment here is the Traditional Sparkling Sequins. For the inside, I used Misty Moonlight card stock for the layer of the Basic White sentiment panel. The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and is from the Gift of Joy stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas & Winter Meadow card 3

Card 3: This may be my favorite card… I simply reversed where I used the papers from card 1 – the background paper being the blue and the strip being the patterned side of the Winter Meadow DSP. I again used Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper (this time in blue) to die cut pine boughs and Blueberry Bushel for the berries (yes, Wink of Stella on these berries too!) The embellishments are the Sparkling Snowflakes in green. For the inside… another die cut of the berries from Branching Out Dies, this time using the Peaceful Garden Glimmer Paper in blue – was added to a simple trimmed rectangle stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink using the Gift of Joy stamp set.

These are all larger than usual cards as I used a retired set of cards & envelopes to decorate. This layout was part of our Thursday sketch challenge for the blog hop and is a total CASE of the card by Amy Koenders. I want to give her credit after all! As I mentioned earlier – love this new Merry Christmas stamp set! Products to make this card may be found below.
