Balloon Ride

Up, up and away in my beautiful balloon!  I love this paper pack and I love this stamp set!

The Balloon Ride paper pack is very versatile and has a nice vintage feel to it.  I used the Give a Lift stamp set and stamped the balloon on white daisy cardstock.  I then stamped it on a few different B&T patterns in the pack and cut out the different sections of the balloon for paper piecing.  The flowers and basket were colored in with pencils (that actually match the paper colors in person).  A bit of sponging on the edges of the B&T strips, a couple of retired Durables embellishments and the card was finished!  So easy :)

Definitely not wishy-washi!

It took me a while to actually use my washi tape.  I wasn't quite sure what to do with it despite all the artwork I had seen.  Then I came across another consultant's work of art, the aha moment happened and I set to work.  This is the result.

I used three different patterns of washi to cover a piece of white cardstock and created my own textured paper!  The banner and sentiment are from the Cricut Artiste collection.  Not all the washi tape used here is available as the pink dots were part of a seasonal special but you can still get the chocolate woodgrain and the honey triangles.  They come with 15 yards per roll which is a LOT!  Check out all the other patterns we carry, too.

And it's already February!

I don't know what to say.  A whole month has passed since my last post.  No explanations, no apologies, no excuses.  It is what it is.  Take a look at the cool new special CTMH has for you this month!  If you have any questions, I'm only a mouse click away!
