CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Up In the Air

February 18, 2017 By Connie | 1 Comment

Our theme for this week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop is “Up in the Air”! Now…that could mean butterflies, dragonflies, birds, bugs. I went with the Lift Me Up stamp set as a hot air balloon being up in the air. I wonder what the rest of the Design Team will use! We don’t see each others cards before the hop!

Here are the details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Soft Sky cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Sweet Treats Designer Paper in the Soft Sky grid pattern was added to the top of a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White.
Some Playful Palette Washi Tape was added along the seam and cut on an angle.
The hot air balloon from Lift Me Up was stamped with Emerald Envy Ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored with Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum Markers and the AquaPainter.
Clear Wink of Stella was added over the Sweet Sugarplum Marker for a little sparkle. It was cut with the Up & Away Thinlit Dies along with a couple of the clouds.
The greeting from Lift Me Up was stamped with Emerald Envy Ink.
A few In Color Enamel Shapes were added to the front under the greeting and one to the hot air balloon itself.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
