When I first saw the Stampin’ Up Bright Skies bundle the first thing that came to my mind was pairing it with the Playing in the Rain stamp set and dies and the Raindrops embossing folder which are in the Stampin’ Up 2023 -2024 Annual Catalog. The Playing in the Rain stamp set and dies are perfect to create some cute cards with.
The color combination I used to create this slimline card are the following:
I was inspired to make this card from the Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration brochure. I just love the the Bright Skies bundle in the January – April 2024 Stampin’ Up Mini Catalog and the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (DSP) that can be earned during Sale-A-Bration with a qualifying purchase.
I used thick white cardstock for the card base (11″ x 4.25″ scored at 5.5″). Petal Pink DSP for the first layer (5.5″ x 4.25″). Basic white cardstock for the middle of the card (5.5″ x 3.25″). The raindrop DSP is 3″ x 3.25″. I used the cloud dies in the Brighter Skies bundle to die cut the clouds out of the Sunny Days DSP. The pool party cloud outline was created using cloud border die in the Brighter Skies bundle (measurement: 2″ x 3.25″). The sun was created by using the dies in the Brighter Skies bundle; the rays of the sun was die cut from Crushed Curry cardstock and the middle of the sun was die cut from Lemon Lolly cardstock. The sentiment was heat embossed on a Shaded Spruce label that was created by one of the label dies in the Something Fancy Dies.
Inside of the card. Pool Party cardstock layer is 5.25″ x 4″. Basic White cardstock layer is 5″ x 3.75″. The Petal Pink strip is 1″ x 3.75″.

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:
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! 🙂
