Quick and Easy Hot Air Balloon Card

Good morning everyone!  I'm trying hard to stick to my resolution of sending gratitude out into the world again this year but with every inch of ice or snow we experience, I find myself less and less able to feel thankful for it.  Today my oldest at least got to go to school and I am using the time before my little man wakes up to get some much delayed birthday and get well cards out in the mail!  Even if the mailman can't reach my mailbox!

Today's sample is a quick and easy one.  It only takes a few cuts, one color of ink, and a few minutes to stamp and assemble.  I use this layout often.  I love the Carried Away Designer Series Paper being offered through Sale-a-Bration.  I love that it is designed to coordinate with the Lift Me Up Bundle and that you can earn it for free when you buy that wood mount bundle or when you buy the clearmount with a little something else!  See, even typing about the things I love helps me forget what I hate is happening outside.....

For this layout, you start with a 3 x 4 piece of DSP (Designer Series Paper) and you layer that on the 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 piece of cardstock.  Stamp the saying on Whisper White and mount on another piece of cardstock.  Attach both to the card using adhesive.  Then you are off to the races and after you make your balloon and cut it out using the Up and Away Thinlit Dies, you mount using dimensionals and you are done.  Such a great way to use those little scraps of cardstock that you always have left around your desk (or is that just me????)


Supplies:
  • Cardstock/DSP: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Carried Away Designer Series Paper
  • Ink: Night of Navy
  • Stamp Set: Lift Me Up
  • Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats and Platform, Up and Away Thinlits, Dimensionals, and Adhesive
