Before it retires, I had to use the Above the Clouds Bundle one last time. I love hot air balloons, and this set will stay in my craft room even when it's no longer current. I decided to pair it with a few new colors, and I used two challenges as my inspiration.
I absolutely love the color combo - Cinnamon Cider, Coastal Cabana, and Magenta Madness! I'll have to keep this one to use again. What do you think?

Happy Friday! Today's card is the other card I created for the swap I participated in earlier this summer. I realized that I never shared it here, and I wouldn't want you to miss out on this pretty card!
I used one of my favorite new stamp sets, Above the Clouds, and another favorite - purple! I combined Highland Heather ink with Purple Posy paper, and those beautiful Woven Threads Sequins. Add in the Stitched Shapes Dies and the scalloped border from the Seasonal Layers Dies, and you have a card full of my favorite things!

On Saturday, I'll be holding my new catalog kick off party as well as a big BOGO sale with my retired products. If you're coming, you may want to skip this post for now. The card I'm sharing today is the one we'll be making Saturday!
I recently participated in a card swap, and I CASEd this card from one I received back with the swaps. The swap card was designed by Kristina Rees. Here's the one she sent - I love it!
I don't have Free as a Bird yet, so I decided to substitute what I do have - Above the Clouds.
I watercolored with Seaside Spray on Shimmery White Cardstock, and of course I had to use the Woven Threads Sequins and White Baker's Twine again. (You'll be seeing them in my next post too...) I'm starting to think I can't create a card without those sequins anymore. They're just that good!
Stamps: Above the Clouds
Ink: Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Soft Suede, Pretty Peacock
Paper: Whisper White, Shimmery White, 2019-2021 In Color DSP Stack
Embellishments: Woven Threads Sequins, White Baker's Twine
Tools: Aquapainter, Hot Air Balloon Punch, Stitched Shapes Dies
Adhesives: SNAIL, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals
Happy Stamping!

One thing I've been doing a lot recently is CASEing the catalog. (CASEing basically means to copy. Copy and selectively edit is my favorite definition.) When you are looking for inspiration, or don't know where to begin with a stamp set, the catalog is a great place to go! This card features the Above the Clouds Bundle and several of the new In Colors.
Have you picked a favorite out of the new catalog yet? This bundle is definitely one of mine!
Stamps: Above the Clouds
Ink: Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Terracotta Tile, Crumb Cake, Gorgeous Grape
Paper: Whisper White
Embellishments: Woven Threads Sequins, White Baker's Twine
Tools: Hot Air Balloon Punch
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Glue Dots
Happy Stamping!
