Up in the Air...

Hi All,

So sorry I've been a lazy blogger the last couple of weeks, but I've been busy elsewhere in my life too.

I made this card a couple months ago for my Stampin' Up workshop.

Starting with a pool party base of 4 1/2" x 11" (folded in half).

I then ran a pool party piece of 4" x 5 1/4" through my Vine Street embossing folder (Sale-a-Bration)

and adhered it to the base of the card.

Using Summer Starfruit and Rich Razzelberry I double stamped the hot air balloons from the Up, Up & Away (122757) stamp set and then the flags in Tangerine Tango on Whisper White

and fussy cut all of this out.

Behind the balloon, I die cut a piece of Whisper White with the Labels Collection Famelits (125598) and ran that piece through the Cloudy Day embossing folder (127022). The strip of designer paper Sycamore Street and the Tangerine Tango ribbon are both Sale-a-Bration items.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on Whisper White and punch it out using the Large Oval punch (119855) and added a few small hearts.

Remember, you can order all these items off my Stampin' Up! website.

just click on the catalogue to the right.

For You...

I made this shape card using the Floral Frames Framelits die(127012).

I started by die cutting the card base of Raspberry Ripple card stock(115316).

The second layer was die cut from one of the pattern papers from 

Sycamore Street dsp(Sale-A-Bration 127540) using the #2 die in the framelits set.

The butterfly is the beautiful Swallowtail(129216) image from the 2012 Spring Mini which I stamped with Versa mark(102283) and then black heat embossed(109133) on Whisper White(100730).

I coloured in the image with coordinating ink using Stamping Sponges(101610), then strategically die cut the image using the #3 die in the framelits set.

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners(126257) and co-ordinating Bitty Banners Framelits (129267) dies. The pearls(119247) added an elegant touch.
