Stampin’ Up! Reach For the Stars Birthday Card

Good morning! The Stampin’ Up! Reach for the Stars bundle is a fun space theme set with planets, an astronaut and space shuttle that is great for astronomy fans. I used the planet dies with the Stargazing designer series paper to make a birthday card. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Stargazing designer series paper to the front of a Starry Sky card base with liquid glue. I adhered another panel to a Azure Afternoon mat and popped it on the card with Dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Up! Reach For the Stars dies to cut several planets in different sizes and colors from the Stargazing DSP.

I used the small ring from the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars dies to cut a Rose Gold ring and tucked one of the die cut planets into it, adhering it in the back with a glue dot. I adhered the planets to the card with glue dots and dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Level Complete stamp set in Versamark ink and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I shook off the excess and heated the powder with my heat tool until it was bright and shiny. I cut it out with the Stylish Shapes banner die and popped it on the card with dimensionals. I used the stars dies from the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars dies to cut several stars from Rose Gold foil and adhered them with glue dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars stamp set in Starry Sky ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the space dust in stamped off Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie and Fresh Freesia inks by the sentiment and stamped the stars in Azure Afternoon. I trimmed the bottom with a Strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal. I wanted to use the astronaut and space shuttle, so I stamped them in Starry Sky (I stamped off the space shuttle first) on the inside of the of the front flap.

The Stargazing designer series paper has amazing space images and the planets are beautiful, so I had to use them for the front of my card. And the Stampin’ Up! Reach For The Stars bundle is fun and perfect for space enthusiasts. All of these fun products are on the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog retiring list, so they won’t be available for too much longer. And beginning April 9, the designer series paper will be on sale at 40% off!
