Good Morning! If you’re like me, you can’t wait for the cold weather to be over and Spring to arrive. Well I used the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies bundle with the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to help me focus on Spring. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to the front of a Pool Party Card base. I used the cloud dies from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies dies to cut some clouds from the cloud pattern DSP and arranged them on the card. I trimmed the sides of two of the clouds and adhered the large cloud to the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sun from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set tin Daffodil Delight on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating die – it’s a little tricky to line up, so be patient. I cut the circle from Daffodil Delight card stock and adhered it to the center before adhering the sun to the card. I adhered the smaller clouds to the card with dimensionals. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies dies to cut the tulips and stems from Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green card stock and adhered them to the card with liquid glue and dimensionals.

I tore the top of a Shaded Spruce strip and adhered it to the bottom of the card to simulate grass (shout out to old school techniques!). I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and punched the end with the Banners Pick-A-Punch. I adhered the label with dimensionals and finished with fun Pool Party lightning bolts.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies stamp set in Poppy Parade and the stem in Granny Apple Green in the bottom corner of a Basic White card base. I trimmed the top of the panel with a strip of DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Bright Skies bundle – it has so many Spring stamps and dies and happy sentiments. And it really goes well with the pretty Sunny Days Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. Are you ready for the brighter skies of Spring?
