Up, Up & Away is a fun stamp set found on page 63 in our Occasions section of the 2011-2012 Catalog/Idea Book. It contains the following verses ; happy birthday to you!, miss you!, the sky’s the limit, and up in the air over you!, which make this set so versatile. I received this swap from my upline, Karen Titus, and thought I would share it with you today.
Karen used Tangerine Tango and Daffodile Delight cardstock and classic inks. For the focus point she used 3 of the 6 different baloon images from the Up, Up & Away stamp set. This is a 2-step stamp set which means you combine different images to create one. For the center baloon she chose to follow the shape of the dotted balloon image and color it it with her Daffodile Delight Stampin Write marker rather then using the shaded balloon image. By doing this, Karen created a thinner balloon! She added the coordinating Tangerine Tango 1/2″ scallop dots ribbon for added texture and interest. Adding the flag strings to the balloons gives the effect that they are floating away.
Karen could have created hot air balloons by not adding the flag strings and adding the basket image also included in the set. Other images you will find in this set are; birds, clouds and a cute flower, totaling 14 different stamp images!
I love this bright, cheery card, don’t you?
