You Soar Above The Rest

March 30, 2019 Leave a Comment

Today I heard that a good friend of my daughter has been successful with a recent job application. It’s a really exciting time and I couldn’t be more pleased for her. How fitting then, that I was in the middle of making this card when I heard. ‘You soar above the rest. Congratulations’ says it all really.

Congratulations card with 'you soar above the rest' sentiment and hot air balloon image from the Lift Me Up Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

SIMPLE CARD BASE

Creating the card base was really simple. I took one of the larger cards from the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes pack and folded it in half. Then I sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next I used Tear & Tape Adhesive to attach some Night of Navy 1/2″ Gingham Ribbon down the front of the card.

Then on a layer of Whisper White Card I used Night of Navy ink to stamp the small balloon from the Lift Me Up Stamp Set. First I stamped the image in the top right corner with the top of the balloon just off the card.

Then I reinked the stamp and stamped off onto some scrap paper, before stamping on the card again slightly higher and to the left of the first balloon. With that done I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to fix the layer inside the card base.

Finally, using the same process, I stamped the small balloon image twice in the top left corner on the front of the large envelope.

TIP – Whenever you stamp an image slightly off a project, always re-ink it again before stamping a second time. This will prevent your second image having a hard line across it. If like me you want your second image to be lighter, simply stamp off onto scrap paper after re-inking the image.

YOU SOAR ABOVE THE REST

All I needed to do now was create the layers for the focal point on the card.

I began by stamping the large balloon image onto some Whisper White Card using Night of Navy ink. Then I added the ‘You soar above the rest. Congratulations!’ sentiment below it.

Next I cut a piece of Balmy Blue Card and fixed the stamped piece to it with liquid glue. These layers were then attached to a layer of Silver Glimmer Paper with Mini Glue Dots.

Finally I finished my project by attaching the assembled layers to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This was a simple card to make but classic blue and white with a touch of silver makes it anything but boring. What do you think?
