June card class - Up Up and Away

Afternoon!

I've got a week off work this week, and I'm determined to catch up with my blogging, and I need to fix my photos on a few posts. I got a bit over keen one day and deleted some pictures by accident! Oops. I'm also determined to get my silly broadband fixed too.

Here's a card from my June card class, using the Up, Up & Away stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalogue. It's a great set, with lots of different hot air balloons, and birds, clouds and sentiments too. This card uses Pool Party, and Poppy Parade card stock, and then I used the markers to colour in the balloons to make them different colours. The stripy balloon was coloured with Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party, the spotty balloon was coloured with Poppy Parade, and the checked balloon was coloured with Pool Party and Lucky Limeade. I used scraps from the Subtles Paper stack to cut out some hills, and stamped the sentiment onto one of them.

There's not long left now to get hold of products from the Summer Mini, do if you've got your eye on anything, don't leave it too long!

 

 

Stamp-a-stack 6 - Up Up and Away

At last, here's the sixth and final stamp-a-stack card (until the next class!), using the stamp set Up, Up & Away.  It's a lovely set featuring five different hot air balloon images, with birds, clouds and a few different sentiments.  I've seen some lovely cards made with this set, and I'm hoping to use it for a card at my card class next week, on the 26th June, at Dock Street Market in Leeds.  Please contact me to book your place, don't miss out!

The colour combo for this card is Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, with a strip of designer series paper from the Sweet Shop set.  The clouds, birds and baskets were stamped onto Whisper White card stock, then mounted onto Lucky Limeade.  The hot air balloons were stamped and then cut out (no matching punch for this set!) and then placed on top of the baskets with dimensionals to make them stand out from the background. A strip of Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon was tied around the bottom of the panel. The sentiment was punched with the circle punches.
