Stampin’ Up! September Fall For Toile Paper Pumpkin Alternates

Posted on September 26, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning happy people. Guess what today is – FRIDAY, for many it is their favorite day… We have a family reunion of sorts planned for Sunday late afternoon & that should be extra fun. I’m very much looking forward to it. 😀

For today, I’m focusing on the Paper Alternates that I made with this month’s kit. I’ll show the ‘planned’ card and then my alternates.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP, card 1

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP card 2, partially open

The card to the left is as intended by Paper Pumpkin. The card to the right is my first alternate, a total CAS from another demonstrator. It uses Country Woods DSP and when lifting the DSP on the right – there is the place to write.

This is a gatefold card and when open again has the addition of Country Woods DSP adhered to the inside ‘gates’ & a piece of Basic White stamped using the stamps in the Sep. kit.

Above is another alternate done in a gatefold. The only addition was a Basic White panel inside for the stamped sentiment. No other additional products were used.

The original card as planned. The only addition is Wink of Stella on the pumpkins and the fox.

My next to last alternate and the inside – a flip front card. I cut the original Paper Pumpkin card base in half and added a piece of Early Espresso, adhered a Basic White piece to the inside and stamped the sweet acorn from the PP stamp set. With each of these last three cards i used Wink of Stella on the pumpkin and the fox for a bit of sparkle & fun.

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 9, front

Stampin' Up! Sep Fall for Toile PP alternate card 9, inside

My last card is a joy fold card, and I used Early Espresso to mount the showcase field of corn & Gathering Together SDSP for the inside background. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with this kit. Refills are available if you wish to create these cards. The only thing is… in the refill there is no stamp set or ink spot.

Stampin’ Up! Full of Life 6×6 DSP + Paper Pumpkin Thanks & Beyond Dies

Posted on May 26, 2024 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Sunday morning! It’s Memorial Day weekend here at the Jersey Shore and traffic is heavy. You know, everyone wants to go to the beach, etc., etc. We heard lots of fireworks last night! In memory of those who served our country by the giving of their life – thank you, we honor you and are so grateful for your dedication. We kneel in humble gratitude.

My card today is one of thanks, made with the Full of Life 6×6 DSP as the background and dies that coordinated with Paper Pumpkin kits these past couple of months – Thanks & Beyond Dies. They are available to those with active Paper Pumpkin subscriptions. If you are not a subscriber, a different kit arrives each month to make cards or to be creative and make something else from the kit. See below for more information in how to subscribe with me.

Stampin' Up! Full of Life DSP 6x6 + bPP Thanks & Beyond Dies, card front

I cut down a 6×6 sheet of the Full of Life DSP to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and stamped it with the Painted Lavender stamp set – leaf. I used Garden Green ink and added a bit of Shaded Spruce with a sponge dauber – stamped once, then twice and a third time without re-inking. I like the depth it creates when doing this. It looks like a field of leaves. I used another piece of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP to die cut the butterfly. This is created with two dies, one with the detail and another for the outline. It remains connected in the ‘body’ of the butterfly. I adhered this die cut with dabs of liquid glue then added the two Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems. I die cut the thanks from another portion of Full of Life 6×6 DSP and then a Basic White scrap and adhered the two together, creating a bit of shadow. I attached this with mini dimensionals cut in half. This panel was attached to a Basic White piece cut 4 x 5 1/4 then to a Balmy Blue card stock 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.

For the inside, I stamped the flowers in Melon Mambo ink using the Painted Lavender stamp set. This carries the color from the card front to the inside. The butterflies are stamped in Balmy Blue ink and are also from the Painted Lavender stamp set.

The envelope flap is covered with more of the Full of Life 6×6 DSP and stamped with the same butterfly stamp from Panted Lavender stamp set in Balmy Blue ink. Notice there are five butterflies – this is a two butterfly stamp, so I covered one of the butterflies before re-inking, removed the tape and stamped. Make sense?

I just received the new Sketched Butterflies Bundle yesterday and it’s FULL of butterflies :O). :O). :O) Can’t wait to P-L-A-Y!

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

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.

Stampin' Up! Spotlight On Nature Window Z fold card & envelope

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

Stampin’ Up! NEW Thoughtful Wishes Sneak Peek

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

Good morning! It’s Monday and another week begins. Hope you have plans to craft a day or two this week. My card today is super simple – not so many layers. It’s made with a new stamp set bundle called Thoughtful Wishes.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes card front

I began by stamping this leaf ‘stalk’ from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White piece. I colored in the leaves with Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends then die cut it with the appropriate Thoughtful wishes Dies. I pulled out an acrylic block and covered it with Peach Pie ink (NEW IN COLOR & GORGEOUS) with the brush tip of my Stampin’ Blends. I spritzed it with alcohol to give it a watery look and stamped it on a larger piece of Basic White. It takes a minute to dry completely so I used half dimensionals to put on the back of my leaf stalk and adhered it on top of the stamped image. It gave it a great background! I then chose a sentiment from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and stamped it in Mossy Meadow ink. For embellishments, I pulled out the Blooming Pearls and added three. This panel was secured to a Peach Pie card base and the front was finished. As I said, very, very simple.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful wishes card inside

For the inside… I stamped this very sweet image from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set all across the bottom of the Basic White panel. This was adhered to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Thoughtful Wishes card & envelope

For the envelope I wanted to keep this simple too, so I stamped just a portion of the same leaf stalk from Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink.

Now, let me tell you, this stamp set is part of a suite of products: Thoughtful Journey 6×6 DSP and another package of SDSP in 12 x 12 – just stunning watercolor images on the 6×6 and more elegant papers in the 12×12 SDSP. I’ll be playing with these products this week, so look for more from this suite of products.

These products (and more!) are available to demonstrators prior to the new 2024-2025 Annual catalog release to share images & projects with our customers & friends to get them excited about all the new items.

Stampin’ Up! January Paper Pumpkin – Lovely Lavender

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

Good Saturday – we have a simply gorgeous snow-covered landscape this morning. Photos never do it justice. Some of my favorites are the trees with snow on every branch, glistening and sparkling. Nature is amazing.

My January Paper Pumpkin arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to put it together. The patterns coordinate with the Perennial Lavender suite of products. I did NOT, however, use any of those – these were gorgeous all by themselves. What it makes is four gift tags (which can easily be made into cards if needed – and I might), and eight cards, 4 of each design.

Stampin' Up! January Paper Pumpkin, tags

Stampin' Up! January Paper Pumpkin, card 1

Stampin' Up! Januaary Paper Pumpkin, card 2

Aren’t the colors wonderful? Notice the card next to the tags… it has an opening – that’s where the tag came from! Clever, right? And everything comes in the kit: glue dots, dimensionals, linen thread, stamp set, ink spot – and all the pieces/ parts to make both tags & cards. Oh, and did I mention envelopes? These envelopes are decorated on the inside and perfect for cutting open and using in some way. I confess, while I did make all four tags, I only made twocards of each design, with the intention of doing something with the envelopes. :O)

Stampin’ Up! December Paper Pumpkin is a WOW!

Posted on December 20, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! My December Paper Pumpkin arrived yesterday and with no outside obligations last night I set right to work to put it together. The cards are gorgeous… and spring-like. There’s even a clear box for them so they can be given as a gift :O)

Here’s the first card & envelope.

Here’s card 2 with envelope.

Card 3 & envelope.

These last two photos show the envelope front and the acetate box with all nine cards inside. Notice there is a wrap around (belly band) piece with a single flower attached. Stampin’ Up! really went all out with this months kit. I love everything about them – and they took such a short time putting them together. I felt no need to come up with alternatives either – these are so pretty. At least for me – they fit the bill perfectly!

This kit is appropriately called All The Best and makes nine gorgeous cards. I’m hoping to pick up a refill or two when they become available. If you would like to start a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you can do that here. There are various types of subscriptions and you can find that info here.

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.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow Bundle with Merry Bold & Bright DSP

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

Good Monday – ’tis already Dec 18! How are you doing with shopping? I’m nearly there but not quite :O) today’s the day to finish though. I had this Merry Bold & Bright DSP on my table and decided to use it – in kind of a different way. Really I’m just playing around. And I pulled out the Garden Meadow stamp set bundle. This is a fun bundle found in the new Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog. I love the rain boots stamp & coordinating die! And I wanted to use the ‘every day is a fresh start’ sentiment. To me it indicates we can wipe the slate clean and begin again, or… pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start anew. Anyway, here’s my card.

I also pulled out the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle to create the sentiment banner. I stamped the hexagon outline with Melon Mambo ink on a Basic White scrap, punched it out with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink using the Garden Meadow stamp set. I stamped the boots in Memento ink as well, but on Merry Bold & Bright DSP, then die cut it with the appropriate die – both from the Garden Meadow bundle. Then I set about making the card base: Melon Mambo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I created layers with Flirty Flamingo and more Merry Bold & Bright DSP, trimming each on an angleI layered them together with liquid glue. I placed the boots on dimensionals and attached them. I stamped the sweet flowers in Memento ink using the sweet stamp in Garden Meadow stamp set. I colored the flowers with Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. (I should have stamped this sweet stamp in Garden Green ink!) The two layers were attached to the card base with dimensionals, then the hexagon piece was attached also with dimensionals.

For the inside… another layer of Flirty Flamingo was added to the card base. The Basic White panel was stamped first with the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink, then the basket of flowers in Memento ink. Both come from the Garden Meadow stamp set. I colored the flowers & leaves with Stampin’ Blends: Light Poppy Parade, Light Daffodil Delight, Dark Flirty Flamingo and both Dark & Light Lemon Lime Twist.

For the envelope… more of the Merry Bold & Bright DSP on the flap and the same precious basked from the Garden Meadow stamp set stamped on the front in Memento ink – same coloring as the inside basket :O). This card is being sent to a friend who is undergoing chemo treatments and needs a ‘pick-me-up’. I’m hoping this card will help.

The Merry Bold & Bright DSP is in the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and is being discontinued. You will find it on the LAST CHANCE PRODUCT list. Speaking of which…

Stampin’ Up! Class Gnomes

Posted on December 15, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning Friday! We are headed out to pick up our live-cut tree this morning. It’s a tradition – no artificial tree for us. :O) We had card class yesterday – but in lieu of cards or boxes or a paper item, we made mop-head gnomes. – and a reindeer from clothes pins. Both turned out so cute.

Aren’t these fun? And it took about an hour to make the gnome and just a bit to make the reindeer. Great project for something different.

What to purchase to make the gnome:

16 oz dry beans
sock
scarf
mop head
wooden pull for nose
Jingle bells & ribbon

How to make:

Keep beans in bag & insert into one sock.
Coat mop head with glue with glue gun
Roll down excess sock and insert mop head into opening
If so desired unroll some of the mop head ‘strings’ so beard is finer (we did)
Cut scarf in half, cut into v-shape, glue sides, turn inside out and place over mop head
- Add jingle bell to length of ribbon and tie onto pointy end of hat
- Can stuff hat with tissue to make it stand up – I did
Hot glue nose into place pushing it onto the sock ‘bean bag’
Done!

Thought you might enjoy a ‘side project’ today :O) Also – did you use the FREE SHIPPING option from SU! yesterday? I hope so – what a great DEAL… Here’s more of what’s going on in the Stampin’ Up! world.
