Up, Up, And Away!

One of the first things I had to purchase when I saw the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is the Above the Clouds Bundle.  I'm not sure why as I've never been around a hot air balloon.  Chances are pretty good that I wouldn't ride in one because I'm afraid of heights.  So it must have been the cute cards that I saw and the fact that the punch can also be used to make large flowers. This card also used the Stitched Nested Label Dies which are a definite must-have for me!   I chose to CASE (copy and share everything) the card from page 8 of the catalog.

1. Cut Flirty Flamingo cardstock 11" x 4.25".  Score at 5.5".

2. Drag Whisper White Craft Ink pad across card front gently.

3.  Cut Whisper White cardstock with Nested Label Die using Big Shot or other cutting machine.  Stamp balloon with Granny Apple Green and basket with Crumb Cake Ink.  Stamp off solid part of balloon. Stamp clouds in Pool Party.

4.  Stamp Bermuda Bay and Flirty Flamingo balloons on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  Stamp off solid part of balloon.  Use Hot Air Balloon punch to cut out balloons.  Use a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock to stamp and punch baskets.

5.  Adhere white die on card base using Snail.  Add balloons and baskets with Dimensionals.

6.  Cut Flirty Flamingo heart.  Attach to balloon with glue dot.  Add linen thread bow with rolled glue dot.

7.  Add sentiment of choice to inside.  Give to a friend.

Bricks and Daisies

When I got the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, I had to try it out.  I was excited about it from the first I saw it.  So I grabbed a brick colored scrap of paper and ran it through my Big Shot.*  I set it aside after oohing and awing over it.  About a week later, I saw the paper just sitting there waiting to become something.  So I trimmed it down to be a card front.  Although it is 3D, it needed more.  I ran my white ink pad over it lightly.  I really liked that!  But now what?  Wink of Stella, of course! Then I started playing with some punches and stamps that I had laying around.  I was so happy when it all came together!  I've made several more with different sentiments.  It was also a card project at my last class.  Some cards I make are a "copy" of something I've seen elsewhere, but this was all mine!

Happy Crafting!

*I hadn't ordered the blue plate to use with my Big Shot.  I finally got the right mix for a shim, but ordered the blue plate with my next order as it's much easier!  The blue plate is for all 3D embossing folders purchased from the Annual Catalog 2019 and all future catalogs until further notice.
