Hot Air Balloon - Birthday or Just a Note

 

  

This is card we did at a recent card club.  It was inspired by Rose Coleman but I made it into a birthday card and used the other side of the Light & Airy DSP.  The Scalloped Contour Dies are retiring the end of April while they last.  It's been a go-to for me for many of my cards, so I will be sad to see the dies leave.  Thankfully, the Hot Air Balloon will stay.  It is such a cute set!

Stamp Set:  Hot Air Balloon

Cardstock:  Thick Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, 6” x 6” Lighter Than Air DSP

Ink:  Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia

Classic Markers: Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Scalloped Contour Dies, Hot Air Balloon Dies, Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack, Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Tear and Tape, Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

1.     The base of the card is Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is the Lighter Than Air DSP cut at 4” x 5-1/4” (Use side of your choice).

3.    Use the third Scalloped Contour Dies to die-cut a Basic White scallop.

4.    Ink up the words "Happy Birthday..." on Basic White and die-cut the label.  Or ink up the words “Just a Note to” with the Azure Afternoon ink pad or Classic Marker.  Clean the stamp.  Now, ink up the words “Life you up” with the Fresh Freesia ink or Classic Marker.  Practice on grid paper.  Then adhere to the middle of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

5.    On a scrap of Basic White, ink up the large air balloon with Azure Afternoon ink.  Then add the center stamp to the air balloon with Fresh Freesia ink.  At the very bottom of the air balloon, adhere a small piece to Tear and Tape.

6.    Die-cut a basket from Fresh Freesia. Adhere to the Tear and Tape of the air balloon.  Then add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.  A mini one for the basket.

7.    Adhere to the left side of the Basic White scallop.

8.    Add three (3) of the Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.

9.    Tie a bow using the Baker’s Twine and adhere to the top of the basket with a Glue Dot.
