Video Tutorial for a Handmade Card

Just a Note to Lift You Up!

I love the mix of stripes and polka dots on this handmade card. I used the Hot Air Balloon dies to cut the hot air balloons from cardstock and patterned paper. 

This card uses lots of retiring products that you'll definitely want to add to your craft stash! The vellum, the cloud punch, the patterned paper, and the Scalloped Contours dies will all be discontinued at the end of April. I actually swapped out some retiring patterned paper for the vellum and embossing folder that I used here because they are already sold out!

Sweet Birthday Card

Here is a sweet little birthday card that was so easy to make! The Hot Air Balloon stamp set is a Two-Step Stampin' set which means that there are multiple stamps to create one image, like this hot air balloon. With multiple stamps, it is easy to create a multi-colored image. 

​I never would have thought to put Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo together, but they are both in the Lighter Than Air patterned paper and I love how they look together on this card!

Wish Big with a Handmade Birthday Card

Here are some more die-cut hot air balloons. This time, I stamped the balloons tone-on-tone with Petal Pink, Bubble Bath, and Lemon Lolly. This gives the balloons a light pattern. 

I added die-cut clouds to the Balmy Blue background to create the look of a sky. I love the rainbow patterned paper on top of it! Then, I added a few Rainbow Dots for a little more fun. 

Easy Handmade Note Card

Here is a simple handmade note card that really shows off the beautiful patterned paper in the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper pack. 

I cut the frame for the sentiment and the scalloped white pieces with the Scalloped Contours dies. I love these dies! I'm so sad that pretty soon no one will be able to get there. You definitely don't want to miss out!
