Hot Air Balloon

Have you ever been in a hot air balloon? It’s something I’ve always thought I’d like to do, but never have. Bucket list!!! Now that’s wishing big!

This balloon is flying high in the sky, amongst the clouds of Sunny Days DSP, a freebie gift you can earn with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration. I’m loving the color combination of Shaded Spruce, Pool Party, and Basic Gray.

My balloon is tone-on-tone Shaded Spruce, the stamping over the same color of Cardstock. I cropped a banner of holographic silver paper for the balloon decoration and the banner flags.

Here’s a look at the bundle:

Buy the bundle (click HERE) plus a pack of Rhinestone Basic Jewels and you will qualify for the Sunny Days DSP!

Card Details:

• Shaded Spruce Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
• Sunny Days DSP, 5-1/4″x 4″
• Holographic Paper and Basic White Cardstock for banner, 3″x 1″ each, cropped with Hot Air Balloon Dies
  • Stamp sentiment onto the Basic White banner with Basic Gray ink.
• Shaded Spruce Cardstock, 2-1/2″x 2-1/4″ for balloon – stamp with Shaded Spruce ink and crop with coordinating die
• Pool Party Cardstock and Holographic Paper for balloon decoration, 2-1/4″x 1″ each, cropped with Hot Air Balloon Dies
• Basic Gray and Smoky Slate Cardstock scraps for balloon ropes and basket
• Rhinestone Basic Jewels placed around balloon and banner

I cut off the flag ends of the Basic White banner and glued it directly over the Holograph banner, matching edges. Then I adhered it to the card front with Dimensionals.

For the hot air balloon, I used double-thickness Dimensionals on the balloon and single-thickness Mini Dimensional under the basket.

For the envelope:

• Gotta bring in the bling on the envelope! I cut a 1/4″ strip of Shaded Spruce, a 1/16″ strip of Holographic Paper, and a 2″ strip of Sunny Days DSP (that fun rainbow print that matches the clouds!)
• Glue them down with Tear & Tape at the top of the back flap and Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the rest of the flap. Trim off the excess paper around 3 edges.

What is your “big wish?” I hope it comes true!
