Wish Big with Hot Air Balloon

Happy Thursday! Today we are going to be Wishing Big with the Hot Air Balloon bundle.

I have had the Hot Air Balloon suite for some time, so I thought I better start using it. I’m really not sure why I waited either, it is a lot of fun! I especially love the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. They remind me of the old embellishments (candy dots) that Stampin’ Up! used to carry, the kind that matched every color collection.

The entire Hot Air Balloon suite is geared towards the colors in the Rainbow Dots too. The paper, the twine, you name it.

To make the card

• Begin with a 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” piece of Bubble Bath cardstock, score and fold at 4 1/4” to form your card base.
• Adhere a 4” x 5 1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock to the card base.
• Cut a piece of the striped Lighter Than Air DSP to include 11 stripes and attach it to another piece of DSP measuring 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”. Flip the DSP over, trim the excess off with your Paper Snips, and adhere it to the card.
• Crop a piece of Basic White cardstock with the largest rectangle from the Everyday Details dies. Stamp your sentiment on the rectangle with Lost Lagoon ink, and attach it to the card using Stamping’ Dimensionals.
• Color a piece of Basic White cardstock with your Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. Crop three clouds out of the paper with the Hot Air Balloon dies, attach one to the rectangle with adhesive and the other two with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Time to stamp

• Stamp the two balloons and baskets on a piece of Basic White cardstock using the following inks; Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia, and Petal Pink. Color the white space on the smaller balloon with your Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend.
• Crop the images, and a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock with the Hot Air Balloon dies, adhere the detailed piece and the baskets to the corresponding balloons, and attach them to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Tie a small bow form the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack and attach it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot.
• Attach three Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots as shown.

I Think You Should Join My Team

Do you want to get a discount on your Stampin’ Up! items and be part of fun, crafting community? Joining Stampin’ Up!, and being a part of my team, will do just that.

I would love to mentor you in your demonstratorship, whether you are wanting to run a stamping business or stamp as a hobbyist. You will get personalized attention from me, and be a part of Mary Fish’s large social network of Pals. Special access to my tutorials is included as well. 

Joining during Sale-A-Bration brings some extra goodies too! Normally when you join Stampin’ Up!, you pick out $125 worth of products and it costs you $99. Now through February 29th, you get to choose between two more options. You can add an additional $30 worth of product (that’s $155 worth for $99) or get the new Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (a $60 value plus the $125 in product for $99)

Joining couldn’t be easier and there is no risk if you don’t like it. If you’re not able to meet the quarterly minimum ($300 by sales or your own personal purchases) by the end of the first full quarter (plus a grace month), then you simply revert back to a customer. If at some point down the road, you want to join again, you can. 

A demonstrator gets a 20-25% off of their purchases and is always the first to know and obtain new product. Sound exciting, it is!! What are you waiting for?

If you’re not quite ready to take the leap, and want to know more, contact me. I would love to talk with you and answer any questions that you may have.
