Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Greenery EF with Traditions of Christmas DSP

Posted on November 12, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Embossing folders help create wonderful texture on a card and I’ve used the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder to do just that – it’s a great background embossing folder.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Greenery w/ Traditions of C'mas card front

I’m leaving the photo in large format so you can really see the embossing folder & how that added texture really makes the. card – at least it does for me! Of course the wonderful die cut from the Traditions of Christmas SDSP is pretty special too. Add in the gold foil and the Traditional Sparkling Sequins and the card is a win/ win. To create the background the floral die cut sits on, I used the Label Me Grateful Dies to die cut from the center of the gold foil used to surround the Cherry Cobbler smaller panel. I cut it in half across the center and adhered a the Basic White die cut from the same Label Me Grateful Dies. The floral die cut is attached with dimensionals while everything else is added with adhesive directly to each layer. Those card cuts will be listed below.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Gallery inside card

For the inside of the card, I used the Christmas Gallery stamp set to stamp this gorgeous poinsettia in Cherry Cobbler ink and the leaves in Old Olive ink. In the center of the flower is another Traditional Sparkling Sequin in Gold. The Basic White panel was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Peaceful Greenery EF w/ Traditonals of Christmas SDSP card & envelope

For the envelope, another panel of the Traditions of Christmas SDSP was added to the flap and another poinsettia & leaves was stamped on the envelope front, which I forgot to photograph!

Here’s the 2nd card… no embossing folder used and while it’s nice, I really prefer the card with the embossing folder. The inside and envelope had the same treatment – and I’ve left them in large format so you can see the difference. :O) Just curious – do you prefer one over the other?

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.

Stampin' Up! Triple Panel card in Petunia Pop, inside

Stampin' Up! Triple Panel card in Misty Moonlight, inside

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! 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! ‘Windowpane’ Look with Brushed with Beauty DSP

Posted on October 27, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s cool again today – 40 degrees… I’m definitely going to wear a heavier jacket when I walk tomorrow! Brushed with Beauty dSP is a new release item come Nov 4 as part of an ONLINE EXCLUSivE suite of products. The paper is gorgeous and I can’t quit using it. When I showed this card to my hubby he immediately said it looked like a windowpane – so I’m coining that word for making this kind of layout. 😁

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty 'windowpane' card front

What is great about this layout is how versatile it is with so many of our Stampin’ Up! papers. And here’s how to do it…

DIRECTIONS FOR WINDOWPANE CARD

cut card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 & score @ 4 1/4 (Mossy Meadow
Cut another piece of card stock (same color) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 & run it through the Gathering Leaves embossing folder. Adhere this to the card front
Cut DSP (Brushed with Beauty) 2 3/4 x 4 then cut that with short edge at top:
- 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 & 1 x 2 1/2 (that leaves a piece 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 & 1 x 1 1/2)
- Adhere these to a card panel 3 x 4 1/4 with even separation (Early Espresso)
- Adhere this to a card panel 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 (Very Vanilla)
- Add these to the card baser with dimensionals
- Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink using the Just A Note stamp set
- Make a double Linen Thread bow; add to card front with a glue dot
- Add sentiment with dimensionals over the bow

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty card inside

For the inside… I cut a piece of this stunning Brushed with Beauty DSP 1/2 x 3 3/4 and adhered it to the bottom of a Vary Vanilla panel 3 3/4 x 5, then added this to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Brushed with Beauty 'Windowpane" card & envelope

For the envelope… another piece of this beautiful Brushed with Beauty DSP in a coordinating pattern – 2 14 x 6, adhered & trimmed to fit. Bam – done!

Stampin’ Up! FREE SHIPPING PLUS Dressing Up the October PP Cozy Christmas

Posted on October 21, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

SEE BELOW FOR INFORMATION ABOUT FREE SHIPPING

OCT 22-24!

Good Tuesday morning. Do you participate in the Paper Pumpkin program – getting this fun box each month to create what’s inside? I do, and sometimes I make alternatives and sometimes I don’t. This months October Cozy Christmas is one of those I didn’t do alternatives, but I did dress up the envelopes and the inside of each card.

For this card… on the envelope – as you can see – I stamped this tree image from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set. Just as an FYI, this also comes with dies. For the inside, I layered a piece of Basic Beige, then added a stamped layer of Basic White. The stamp used is the same as the envelope – Ornamental Christmas.

Stampin' Up! Oct. PP Cozy C'mas card set 1 inside

For the 2nd set of cards in the October Paper Pumpkin, I stamped the envelopes with another of the stamps in Ornamental Christmas stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas card set 2

For the inside of the cards… in my box was an extra green card base so I used that for the background on two cards then a strip for the third card. For an inside sentiment I used the Christmas Word Collage in Basic White. I highlighted each with Garden Green ink and a Blending Brush. Here they are.

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas card 2 inside, Dear Santa

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas card 2 inside

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy Christmas card 2, Fa La La La

Joy to the World is the theme for the third set of cards in this October Paper Pumpkin Cozy Christmas box.

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas third set of cards

The same sentiment is stamped on all three of these envelopes and it comes from the stamp set Ornamental Christmas using Garden Green ink. On the inside I used sentiments from the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephmera Pack on a Basic White panel that had been adhered to a Crumb Cake piece slightly larger.

Stampin' Up! Oct PP Cozy C'mas 3rd set, Happy Christmas

Stampin' Up! OCct PP Cozy C'mas, 3rd set small Merry C'mas

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! Sneak Peek Brushed with Beauty products in an Accordion Fold

Posted on October 18, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning – it’s Saturday & cool in this part of New Jersey – 40 degrees! Blanket time and possibly time to bring in firewood for a fire tonight. We’ll see. I have two cards for you today, using products from the November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE release. As a Demonstrator, I am privileged to be able to preorder products before they become available to the public. This is a beautiful suite of two bundles, DSP & Vellum, embellishments and an embossing folder. For today’s cards I did not use the embossing folder. I have two cards to share; one in landscape & one in portrait.

Stampin' Up! Brushed w/ Beauty landscape accordion fold

Stampin' Up! Brushed w/ Beauty portrait accordion fold

Aren’t these papers stunning – Brushed with Beauty DSP. Love, love. On the landscape card are die cuts in vellum, using the Petals of Beauty Dies. The sentiment & banner die cut use items from the two bundles: Petals of Beauty and Words of Beauty. The bow is Old Olive Linen Thread – a September ONLINE EXCLUSIVE that comes in a two pack – Early Espresso is the other color of Linen Thread in the duo pack. The portrait card again shows die cuts, this time in card stock. I love this flower with the delicate edge! I stamped the flower image twice in Basic Beige ink, layered them then added the delicate die cut in Basic White. A single Pearls of Beauty embellishment is in the flower center. The ribbon is Braided Trim from the Floral Charm Suite (July ONLINE EXCLUSIVES) And here’s the inside of each.

In the landscape card above I added a Branching Out die cut, the smallest, and no stamping. (It is available in the September to December 2025 Mini Catalog) The inside looks a bit plain, so I’m going to add something for sure. On the portrait card, I stamped the two step floral image on Basic White, using Petal Pink & Calypso Coral inks, then die cut it with the Petals of Beauty Dies. This comes from the Petals of Beauty stamp set & coordinating dies in the suite of products. The leaf image is die cut from Mossy Meadow. I did add the Pearls of Beauty embellishment to the flower center. It’s fairly flat & doesn’t add a lot of bulk. The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink & comes from Words of Beauty stamp set – part of the suite of products. Below is a top down view of each of the cards.

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek Words of Beauty Bundle for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on October 14, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Today’s hop challenge is all about “giving thanks” – and I am grateful for many people in my life. This card is for one of those folks. I’m using products from the November 2025 Online Exclusives – part of the Brushed with Beauty Suite. This bundle is called Words for Beauty.

This card uses what I’m going to call, the ‘backside’ of the DSP. The floral side is absolutely gorgeous and I wanted to use that, but it didn’t seem to fit with the words. The panel is adhered to a Mossy Meadow then added to the Very Vanilla card base with dimensionals. The ribbon is is Very Vanilla…. wrapped around & held in place in back with Tear n Tape. I tied a simple half know & held it in place with a glue dot.The large word ‘because’ actually has three dies. The backing is Crumb Cake, the second layer is Old Olive and the front is Very Vanilla. after adhering together I attached them with dimensionals. The sentiment banner is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White & die cut with one of the dies in the set. The embellishments are the Low Profile Dots in Old Olive – and I used five.

Stampin' Up! Words of Beauty card inside

The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on Very Vanilla card stock, and comes from the Words of Beauty stamp set. It’s attached to Mossy Meadow card stock and added to the inside of the card. The 1/2 strip is the other side of the Brushed with Beauty DSP. You’ll see it used later this week 😀

Stampin' Up! Words of Beauty card & envelope

I left this photo extra large so you could see the three layers of the larger word. It just didn’t show much in the smaller size. For the envelope… more of the same ‘back side’ of the Brushed with Beauty DSP attached to the flap & trimmed to fit. the sentiment on the front is again from the Words of Beauty stamp set.

Because I’m a demonstrator I have the privilege of being able to order Online Exclusive early – to play with new product and promote them. So it’s a huge benefit to me and my customers & I get very excited with playing with new ‘stuff’. I’m saying all this because now is the perfect to join with me so you can play too. Stampin’ Up! has this wonderful promotion goin on through the month of October. See below the list of those participating in today’s hop – for all the details.
