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! October Paper Pumpkin

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

My Paper Pumpkin kit arrived last week and it’s a beauty. The kit has a liquid glitter included to add sparkle. The cards are very 3D, meaning layers of homes or trees. And the kit is called Home for the Holidays.

These are very traditional type cards, Victorian style homes and lots of trees. I wonder what your home is like? Ours is nothing like this… colonial style, two story, trees are maple & dogwood, not spruce. I tried taking a close-up of the glittery parts but they were too blurry to show well, so this is it. There are enough parts to make 8 cards – and envelopes are included of course. While you may not be able to tell, there is a glittery paper under each of the sentiments :O) There are other sentiment included that could have been used on the banner, but I’m a Merry Christmas gal – so that was it for me! The November PP kit coordinates with the October Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin Kit! See the info below.

This is the next Paper pumpkin kit…

Stampin’ Up! More Beary Christmas Memories & More

Posted on October 3, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good Tuesday morning. Ok, true confessions. I cannot believe it is already October 3! Time seems to be slipping through my fingers. Aargh! But here we are… Before I share my cards with you today, Do you know what today is for Stampin’ Up! Today is the beginning of a special for new demonstrators.

Stampin' Up! Celebrating 35 years - new promo

Starting tomorrow Oct 3 and going through to Oct 31 is a Starter Kit Special you will not want to miss. Celebrating 35 years of Stampin’ Up!, new demonstrators will be able to choose 35% OFF the cost of their Starter Kit or get 35% MORE product with their Starter Kit.

With option 1 (35% off the normal cost of the starter kit), the new demo would receive $125 worth of products and pay $64.35 + tax. and of course, shipping is FREE.

Have I intrigued you, inspired you, made you think maybe this is the time to join as a demonstrator? If so, – would love to have you

JOIN MY TEAM HERE.

Now… let me share more of the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack that I put together.

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More card pack.1

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More card pack.2

Stampin' Up! Beary C'mas Mem'ries & More card pack.3

You may have learned that I tend to make different cards and not all the same design. Yep, that’s part of my DNA, don’t duplicate. While the far left card and the far right card are similar, still, they are not the same.

Card 1, far left, uses a red card base in the card pack. Adhered directly to the card base is one of the larger panels from the pack of the very cute bears – or should I say Beary Cute :O) I used a piece of Vellum Basic DSP (polka dots) and adhered it to a Misty Moonlight strip cut the entire width. I added stickers from the Beary Christmas Memories and More card pack to the strip and three Irridescent Pastel Gems in Balmy Blue.

Card 2, middle, also uses a red card base from the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack. I used my paper snips to trim down one of the card images and added it directly to the card base. I then cut a banner with the Nested Essentials Dies from Balmy Blue card stock. With my paper snips I again trimmed one of the smaller cards to use the sentiment banner. I adhered the sentiment banner to the Balmy Blue one, put dimensionals on and attached it to the card. I added three Festive Pearls in Red.

Card 3, far right, is the simplest yet: Balmy Blue card base from the Beary Christmas Mem’ries & More Cards & Envelopes; a Basic White panel then the bear image all adhered one on the other. I trimmed down this sentiment banner from one of the cards in the pack and attached it directly to the card. As a final touch I added an Irridescent Pastel Gem to each end of the sentiment. And done! Three more cards for my Christmas card list :O) This is such a great card pack and of course, I used the coordinating Beary Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes for the card pack. So convenient!!!

Kits are just one of the items Stampin’ Up! does so well. If interested in other kit options, please visit my store here.

Stampin’n Up! September Paper Pumpkin

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

Good morning! My new Paper Pumpkin arrived Saturday and I was excited to put this kit together. The colors are gorgeous and the extra die cuts are just beautiful. The cards are 3″ size with a stunning inside decorated envelope. I could easily have taken one of the envelopes apart & used it to make a full size card, but I needed this size – and so, no alternatives! The gift boxes are pretty too.Eight gift card with envelopes & eight gift boxes. How perfect is that!

Just look at this gorgeousness: the gold die cut leaves, then the more leaves and two pumpkins – all for each card. I followed the instructions, stamped with Lost Lagoon ink sent with the kit, then added the die cuts. There were choices for a sentiment as well and since Thank you is what I needed, that is what I stamped :O)

These gift boxes stand 5″ tall with a 2″ depth, son plenty of room for a variety of goodies. I embellished these with bows: Linen Thread bow on the left and a Threaded Twine bow on the right. For the Threaded Twine bow, a cut a length of the twine and removed threads from it as it was too bulky in one piece.

So let’s talk Paper Pumpkin and the benefits of a subscription. It arrives monthly in your mailbox without a lot of hassle. There are advanced descriptions of what’s in the kit each month so there’s the option to void the order for a particular month if it’s something you don’t want. That means you aren’t billed for it that month and the subscription is advanced a month. With the initial order, an acrylic block is included, after that it’s the ink spot, glue dots or tape (or both, as in this months kit) and all the parts to put together cards or boxes or gift bags, often with embellishments or linen thread or pearls, gems or sequins of some sort. It’s like a gift surprise each month! Subscribe by the 10th of any month to receive that month’s kit. Supplies may be limited toward the end of the subscription period.

See what’s available for next month

Create dazzling traditional Christmas cards with the Home for the Holidays Paper Pumpkin Kit! This kit includes eight beautiful cards—four each of two designs. Whether you want to send a few to your loved ones or fill your home with some extra special Christmas cheer, this kit has everything you need to make some sparkly, festive cards.

Stampin’ Up! Sneaky Peek of Wishes All Around, Snowflakes

Posted on September 2, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Saturday! Beautiful day here at the Jersey Shore – 54 degrees at wake-up time, warming as we ‘speak’. My card today some new products and some from the Annual Catalog – a good mix to show how SU! coordinates all their products.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around bundle, snowflake wreath

Isn’t this snowflake wreath pretty? It’s die cut using Wishes All Around Dies from the new Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog and Soft Shimmer paper in the annual cattie and sits on a Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies in a square. That was added to Moody Mauve 2023-2025 In Color Luster paper just slightly larger. Here are the proper steps: die cut the square; die cut the wreath; lay the wreath on the die cut to indicate where to stamp the sentiment; remove wreath & stamp sentiment in Moody Mauve ink using a stamp from Wishes All Around stamp set; adhere wreath with dots of liquid glue; adhere to 2023-2025 In Color Luster paper in Moody Mauve.

Now create your card base: Moody Mauve with a layer of new product from the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog – Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP in white. I used strips of Silver Foil Specialty Pack to ‘frame’ the ‘centerpiece’ of the card. Here’s a tip on how to do that, cuz the square is on dimensionals…

TIP: Add a dab of Stampin’ Seal to the back of the square. Touch it several times to remove some of the sticky. Place it on the card front pushing down lightly. Add strips butting them up against square. Twist the square to remove it from the card front – do not pull straight up! Put dimensionals on the square and put in place.

To complete the decorating of the card… die cut more snowflakes using the Wishes All Around Dies and more of the Silver foil Specialty Pack. Adhere where desired. Tie a bow with the Metallic Woven Ribbon in Sweet Sorbet and Linen Thread and add with liquid glue.

And here’s another tip… When I add bows I sometimes use a glue dot, but if the bow is small, I like to use liquid glue. Put an acryllic block on top of it to hold in place until it is completely dry :O)

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around, snowflakes inside

For the inside… on a piece of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from Wishes All Around stamp set in Misty Mauve ink. i had an extra die cut snowflake from the Wishes All Around Dies and the Silver Foil Specialty Pack and added it to the Basic White panel.

Stampin' Up! Wishes All Around bundle, card & envelope

For the envelope… very simple – these three snowflakes on the envelope front were stamped in Misty Mauve ink and come from Wishes All Around stamp set. The envelope flap got more of the same Snowflake Magic Specialty DSP, adhered & trimmed to fit.

You may want to know why I chose a shade of pink for snowflakes… truth be told, when I was growing up I had an aunt who every Christmas her tree was decorated in silver & pink – therefore the inspiration. It’s not my style, I’m more of a traditional red & green kinda gal, but this turned out pretty well – and in memory of my aunt.

Now, I want to talk about the Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalog just a bit. The Designer Series paper shown on this card is one of the papers in the new cattie, and I have a Paper Share opportunity for you…

Stampin’ Up! Paper Pumpkin Show Off

Posted on August 22, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! My August Paper Pumpkin arrived the other day and I sat right down to play. There are eight cards in the Paper Pumpkin and very feminine and sweet. The back of the cards share comments about the particular flowers on the card: forget-me-nots and the lotus flower. And I love the 3D look and cut-outs!

Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin card 1, inside

This is the For-Me-Not card… notice the delicate cutout for the front and the flowers on dimensionals on the inside. This was not the only option for a sentiment on the provided banner, but it is what I chose. Even the Linen Thread is provided!

Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin, card 2

Stampin' Up! August Paper Pumpkin Card 2 alone

This shows the beautiful Lotus Flower and lily pads. Hopefully you can see the ‘water droplet’ embellishments provided in the kit. They are clear, so difficult to see – but there are at least five on each of the Lotus cards.

A Paper Pumpkin subscription is a fun way to be creative each month, with sometimes tags, boxes, or cards. Each month is unique for the season. And there is the opportunity to say, ‘not this month’ if the timing isn’t right or the kit is not something you want to do. In your very first subscription, an acrylic block is provided. In all subscriptions there is an ink spot, stamps, and appropriate supplies – along with picture directions. Here is what is in the September kit and information about it.

Express your love and gratitude in elegant style with the September Paper Pumpkin Kit inspired by Shelli! This kit includes eight treat packages (you can also use for small gifts) and eight miniature note cards with matching envelopes and specialty gold foil embellishments. Whether you’re needing a hostess gift, a sweet surprise for dinner guests, or have another reason to give love and thanks, this kit has you covered.

Plus, don’t miss the Thoughts of Thanks Journal! It matches both the design and intent of the kit, giving you an even more personal way to document and express your gratitude. It’s available as an add-on, but only while supplies last!

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin From the Heart

What’s better than a box full of crafts you can use to express your love and gratitude? How about the kit packaged in a custom, matching box that’s just as beautiful? The With Love & Gratitude comes with a custom box you can use to store all kinds of things: your finished treat packages and cards, crafting supplies, or you can fill it individual notes with all the reasons you have to be grateful—write each one down and fill up the box, then pull out a note of inspiration whenever you need it!

Stampin’ Up! And Paper Pumpkin

Posted on July 26, 2023 by TL's Bright Spot

WooHoo – this is a favorite of the more recent monthly Paper Pumpkin kits :O) It’s called Fun In the Sun for the July kit. It’s a side step card and very summery and fun. The three versions look like this:

Aren’t these fun? Notice thew left portion is taller than the rest and there is a slit, cut, division for the folds on the right. Let me show you side views so you get the idea of a side step card.

By looking at the side view, it is clear of the various ‘steps’ or folds that can be decorated. Here, on each ‘step’, the images are adhered. The very back ‘step’ could have been kept loose and used as am bookmark or tag. I decided not to do that and prepared no alternatives. I thought these really cute. And the envelopes were colorful as well…

Stampin' Up! July '23 PP card & envelope

This months Paper Pumpkin made 9 cards with envelopes. Such a great idea. And – you could make them birthday cards or party cards, or a ‘hello you’ card. If you would like to purchase a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you must do so prior to the 10th of any month. For August, the theme is:
