JAI # 281: STAMPIN' UP! BALLOON BASH FOR ETHAN'S BIRTHDAY

Di has suggested that we use our 3 favourite colours on a papercraft project, for this week's Just Add Ink challenge.

Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake are hands down my go-to colours; I have teamed them with Lost Lagoon, to make a card for my "baby", who turned 15 last weekend.  I love stars, and balloons, for boy cards.  The white-embossed Brushstrokes image, on Cherry Cobbler card, looks to me to be a bit "circus-y".  Whilst I don't like the circus, I do like the stripy tents!  The 'twine' that is laid across the card is actually strands pulled loose from Stampin' Up!'s wide burlap ribbon; I love the rustic look it provides.  I didn't have any Cherry Cobbler candy dots left, so I used one of my Blendabilities to colour a White Perfect Accent.

Here's Ethan's card:

STAMPIN' UP! SLEIGH RIDE CARD IN RED

Today I have to share with you the latest in my Sleigh Ride/Jingle All the Way series of cards. :)

I've used the lovely Winter Wonderland Designer Series Paper, with some injections of red to complement the gold and white colour scheme.


The sentiment is gold-embossed; you'll just have to take my word for it, that it looks rather lovely, as it's a bit drab-looking in the photo!

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  If you click on any of the thumbnail images, you'll be taken to my online store.

STAMPIN' UP! SLEIGH RIDE CHRISTMAS CARDS

I've had a play with my new Sleigh Ride edgelits, and the gorgeous new Winter Wonderland Designer Series Paper, to come up with a couple of elegant Christmas cards.

Here's the very first card I made using my new 'toys':




Also new, on this card, is the White Glitter ribbon and Iced Rhinestone.  The sentiment is from the Jingle All the Way stamp set, designed to use with the edgelits, and available in a bundle (with the dies), to save money - you have to love that!

While I had all these products out on my desk, I made a second card.  I think I like this card a little bit more, because of the contrast I provided with a second die-cut horse and sleigh, stuck over the top of the DSP diecut:




Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make these cards.  If you live in Australia, and would like to buy them, you can click on any of the thumbnail images to be taken to my online store.

I hope you like these cards; I'm very happy with how they turned out!
