I’m not sure about you, but when I looked in the Stampin’ Up January – April 2024 Mini Catalog that just launched on January 4, 2024 I was super excited. One of the bundles that caught my eye first was the Bright Skies bundle. I could envision having lots fun with the set. Then to my surprise I discovered that there is a coordinating 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) for the Bright Skies bundle in the Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration brochure that can be earned with a $50 Stampin’ Up purchase.
Over the next couple of weeks I’d like to share with you some cute projects you can create with the Bright Skies bundle and Sunny Days 12″ x 12″ DSP.
This first project that I made below challenged me to use the Stampin’ Up Give it a Whirl dies that I had on hand, but had not used yet.
The color combination I decided to use for this card is the following:
Card with matching envelope
Front of card with the rainbow image stamped in the open slot. The rainbow image is from the Stampin’ Up Just My Type stamp set (2023-2024 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog). I used Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends to color the rainbow. The cloud was created by using one of the cloud dies included in the Stampin’ Up Give it a Whirl dies set. After die cutting the cloud, I used the striped cloud stamp that is a part of the Bright Skies bundle and stamped it on the cloud using the Pool Party stamp pad.
When you spin the wheel by moving the dial on the right side of the card downwards, the next image that shows up in the open slot is the one shown above. The Sprinkled With Love sentiment and die cut raindrops are from the Bright Skies bundle. The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade and the raindrops were die cut from Pool Party cardstock.
When you spin the wheel by moving the dial on the right side of the card downwards one more time, the next image that comes up is three flowers. The flowers were die cut using the Bright Skies bundle. The flower stems were die cut from Shaded Spruce cardstock and the flowers were die cut from Crushed Curry, Pool Party, and Poppy Parade cardstock.
The Shaded Spruce card base is 8.5″ x 5.5″ scored at 4.25″. The top layer was created by using the Give it a Whirl dies and Sunny Days DSP. The wheel was die cut in basic white cardstock from the die in the Give it a Whirl die set and it was attached to the card via a brad (the brad is covered by the cloud with the sentiment, I hope your day is filled with sunshine and rainbows).The cloud was stamped in Pool Party and die cut from the Bright Skies bundle. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up Just My Type stamp sent and was stamped in Shaded Spruce on the cloud. The sun was stamped in Crushed Curry on basic white cardstock and die cut using the Bright Skies bundle. Lastly, the Poppy Parade heart located after the sentiment was die cut using one of the hearts in the Give it a Whirl die set.
Inside of card. Measurements: Pool Party layer: 5.25″ x 4″. Basic White: 5″ x 3.75″. Poppy Parade heart was die cut using another heart shaped die that is included with the Stampin’ Up Give it a Whirl die set.
I hope I was able to inspire you. For the supplies I used to create this card, please see below. Happy stamping friends! 🙂
