I recently purchased the Brighten Your Day Kit from Stampin’ Up! and it did not disappoint! It can be found in the Online Exclusives part of the Stampin’ Up! store! You will receive all that is in the picture below. This particular kit doesn’t come with a stamp set, the sentiments are already printed for you!
These are the cards that I made using the Brighten Your Day Kit. On a side note, I didn’t use the Baker’s Twine that comes with the kit. It’s supposed to go under the sentiment but when I try that it doesn’t come out right and I’m not happy with the results! The kit comes with nine cards to make and nine envelopes, that are just as pretty as the cards.
Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals come with this kit but I did roll some Glue Dots into little balls to make them fit on the stencils.If you’d like to purchase this kit, you can do so below in the Supply List.
Sale includes 2025-2027 select inks, cardstock, Designer Series Paper, embellishments, and other products that include these new In Colors. The select products will be 15% off!

Before I share my card with you today, I want my customers to see this! The Annual Catalogs are a big expense for me but I love to send complimentary copies to my current customers (I don’t want to presume if you want the catalog). If you are a current customer of mine, you can click the graphic below to get the form to fill out to request an Annual Catalog or you can click here! Edited to add: I’m sorry many of you had problems opening the form. I think it’s fixed now! I’m so sorry for the confusion!
I started with a piece of Petunia Pop cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of the card.
I used Shy Shamrock cardstock to cut a rectangle using the Textured Notes Dies. Then, I cut a smaller rectangle out of Basic White cardstock. Then, I stamped the leaves onto the Basic White rectangle using Shy Shamrock ink and the Pretty Petals stamp set. Next, I stamped the flowers onto Basic White cardstock using Petunia Pop ink and the Pretty Petals stamp set. Then, I cut them out using the Pretty Petals Dies. I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the flowers to the greenery.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Petunia Pop ink using the Textured Notes Stamp Set. Then, I cut the sentiment out using the Textured Notes Dies, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added three Shy Shamrock Shimmer Gems to the white rectangle.

Before sharing the cards I have for today, I want to tell you about a possible disruption to my blog beginning Friday night to Saturday. Whenever you have a blog it sits on a server. The person who “hosts” my blog (Amy Celona) will be copying all the contents of my blog to another server (as well as the blogs of her other clients). She will start copying my blog on December 29th at 11:00 pm Eastern Time and the move may take 6-7 hours to complete, if all goes well. It’s possible my blog may not show up if you try to find it and if you send an email to my stampingwithtracy address, it may possibly bounce. Amy has said that the new server will be faster to load images, etc. So, if you can’t find my blog, no worries!
I hope everyone had a very nice holiday! This was my first Christmas without my mom but her spirit was all around us. I had a very nice day with my husband, my two daughters, two son-in-laws and three grandchildren. We had to start a new tradition of our own and it was a very good day with lots of food, togetherness and happiness!
I purchased the Stampin’ Up! Painted Wishes Card Kit and made all the cards in the kit that I’m sharing with you today.
I didn’t use the gold twine that comes in the kit so my cards will look a little different from the image above. The nice thing about this kit is that the sentiments are all done for you so you just have to assemble the cards. Also, I started to add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the flowery pieces but realized I would run out of Dimensionals (but I always have a big stash of Dimensionals). So, they look pretty whether popped up with Dimensionals or without. Here are the cards I made from the kit.
Also included in the kits are very pretty envelopes.
It was a really easy kit to assemble! If you’d like to purchase this kit you can head over to my Stampin’ Up! website HERE.
