Measurements of Materials
5 ½” x 6 ½” Starry Sky Cardstock (CS) Scored at 4 ¼”
5 ¼” x 4” 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP) #1
5 ¼” x 2” 2022-2024 In Color DSP #1
3” x 4” 2022 – 2024 In Color DSP #2
3” x 4” White CS
Cut and Score all pieces.
You will need White, Balmy Blue, and Crumb Cake CS scraps as well as Bright and Beautiful scraps to make the balloons, clouds, and tag.
Using Scraps
• To make the balloon inside the card, I used scraps generally discarded after cutting out the intricate flourishes.
Inside the Card
• Stamp the inside sentiment(s) and any decorations onto 3” x 4” CS.
• Assemble the hot air balloon and adhere to the CS.
• Attach the CS to the 5 ¼” x 4” piece of DSP before attaching to the card base.
Assembling the Front of the card
• Attach the 5 ¼” x 2” piece of DSP to the front of the card base.
• Stamp the desired sentiment on the tag.
• Decorate the 3” x 4” piece of DSP with the hot air balloon, cloud, and sentiment tag.
• Center the DSP #2 over the front of the card base so that it completely covers the white CS underneath. Attach only on the left side so that the card still opens.
Use your imagination to embellish as desired.
