You Brightened My Day

With each of the suites in Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog, there are so many ways to say “thank you” – there are beautiful flowers, fun critters and gorgeous clay pots. I have bypassed the long sentiment in Reach for the Stars a couple of time, thinking it was corny. The more I read the sentiment, though, the more I really like the message it conveys – “If I had a star for every time you brightened my day, I’d have an entire galaxy.” Here’s a space-themed card I made with this sentiment and a gorgeous panel of Stargazing Designer Series Paper:

Here’s a look at the Reach for the Stars Bundle, which includes the Reach for the Stars stamp set and coordinating Reach for the Stars Dies:

Reach for the Stars Bundle, Stampin Up! 161186I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Thick Basic White cardstock and cropped with the largest circle in the Reach for the Stars Dies. There are five circle dies in this set – here are the approximate measurement of each:

  • 2-1/2″
  • 2-1/8″
  • 1-7/8″
  • 1-1/2″
  • 1″
  • 5/8″

What a great variety of circles that makes this set of dies very versatile.

The sentiment is showcased on a galaxy of stars, a beautiful page from the Stargazing Designer Series Paper. The papers are a brilliant mix of gorgeous patterns and fun patterns. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Stargazing Designer Series Paper:
