As we prepare to send some of our stamp sets away and as a demonstrator look forward to the preorder that became available May 2 nd, I thought I would choose a favorite mine that is not leaving us. With that title, can you guess which one it is? Yes, it is a balloon one. Lift Me Up. It has a Thinlits that goes with it and makes easy work. So if you know someone that needs their spirits lift up, this colorful card should do the trick. I will have another one on Facebook that is perfect for a birthday. So whatever the occasion that stamp set about covers it. Here is the link to my Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stampinpinkrose/photos/a.835306279904546.1073741828.620259814742528/1062869670481538/?type=3&theater
Tips and Tricks
Color Combination: Stampin’ Up! has so many pinks to choose from and many will work with each other. So chose a lighter shade and then add a darker shade. Then bring everything out with a neutral background like Tip Top Taupe which I am as it is retiring. I did one other color to bring out the Melon Mambo with the cutout balloon…..Basic Gray.
- Blushing Bride
- Melon Mambo
- Tip Top Taupe
- Basic Gray
Stamp Set: Stampin’ Up! has really offered many different types and sizes of balloons.
- Lift Me Up
Ink: It is always better to use a darker ink that preferably already in your project.
- Melon Mambo
Paper: Stay with the colors in your Color Combination.
- Blushing Bride
- Melon Mambo
- Basic Gray
- Whisper White
Designer Series Paper: Find a neutral color that won’t distract from the focus….balloons.
- Tip Top Taupe Striped (retired) Envelope Paper 2015-2016
Accessories: Up and Away Thinlits*, Big Shot, Trimmer, Layering Circles
*this is not retiring
