CCMC Saturday Blog Hop - Love is in the Air

We’re back for another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop with the Design Team! Our theme this week is Love is in the Air! With Valentine’s Day coming up, we all need a valentine for our special person, don’t we? Well, at least in the US…I don’t think it is as recognized in our other markets as much!

I used the Life Me Up Bundle in the Occasions Catalog for my card today! It gave it a more masculine look, I think. Will probably give this to my husband!

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
On top is a layer of 4 x 5-1/4 Basic Black cardstock.
On the 3-3/4 x 5 layer of Whisper White, a 1 x 5 strip of Sending Love Designer Paper is added to the bottom. Then the 1/8″ Real Red Sending Love Ribbon is added across the front and secured in the back.
The outline of the balloon was cut with the Up & Away Thinlit from Real Red cardstock, then adhered to Basic Black and cut around the edges. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Love Is in the Air from Lift Me Up stamp set is stamped with Memento Black Ink.
The “postage” is cut from the Sending Love Designer Paper and adhered in the upper right corner.
The Sending Love Wood Heart Embellishment is added to the hot air balloon with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

I love it! OK…make sure to continue on around the Blog Hop to see all the Design Team creations! I can’t wait to get inspired! Next up is our Create with Connie and Mary Website where you can find out more about our upcoming FEBRUARY MINI SESSION. Or you can go backwards to Melissa’s blog!
