Light the Sky for the New Year and Beyond!
When I first saw the Light the Sky bundle in the 2023 September – December Mini Catalog I thought it was nice but not really sure I wanted to get it. For some reason this set just seemed to keep calling my name and I finally broke down and ordered the bundle! Wow I am glad I did! While the bundle was marketed as a set to celebrate the New Year, once I finally had a chance to use it, I saw so many possibilities for it!
The Light the Sky bundle includes a stamp set with 12 photopolymer stamps and 6 coordinating dies. Now while I really haven’t had a chance to use the die set yet, I am absolutely in love with the stamp set! Last week I highlighted the stamp set during my weekly live demonstration on my Crafty Klock YouTube channel. I had fun creating two cards – a simple stamping card and one a little more stepped up! Here’s a peek at the cards I created.
I think you can see why I am so excited by this set. Sure it’s perfect for celebrating the New Year BUT the possibilies go well beyond that holiday! I can see using this set to celebrate birthdays, gratuations, retirements, weddings, the Fourth of July and so much more! Anytime you want to celebrate a milestone or special occasion, just pull out this set and you are ready to create!
And what’s even better the stamp set and dies are carrying over from the 2023 September to December Mini catalog – just not as a bundle. So if you love to save money (and who doesn’t these days) be sure to purchase the Light the Sky bundle by January 3, 2024 to save 10%. Beginning on January 4, 2024 the stamp set and coordinating dies will still be available for purchase just not as a bundle. You can purchase the bundle from my online Stampin’ Up! store – just click here to shop.
