I used the Stampin’ Up! Lift Me Up stamp set and coordinating Up & Away Thinlits Dies along with a little of the Embossing Paste to create a clean and simple card to share with you today.

My card design was loosely inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #228.

I started by placing the cloud stencil from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks over a panel of Soft Sky card stock.  I covered part of the mask with Post-It Note Tape to hold it in place and cover the areas that I didn’t want filled with Embossing Paste.  I used my Palette Knives to spread a thin layer of Embossing Paste across the mask and then removed the mask and cleaned the paste up with warm water.

While the Embossing Paste was drying, I stamped the balloon images from the Lift Me Up stamp set in Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist and So Saffron inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I cut them out with the matching Up & Away Thinlits Dies.  Once the Embossing Paste was dry (took about 5 minutes), I stamped the sentiment from the Lift Me Up stamp set in Bermuda Bay ink on the panel, adhered the panel to a panel of Whisper White card stock with SNAIL and then to a Bermuda Bay card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the two smaller balloon die cuts to the card front with Glue Dots and I added a short stand of the Silver Mini Sequin Trim to the back of the large balloon with a Glue Dot.  I adhered the larger balloon to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish it.

I stamped the balloon images from the Lift Me Up stamp set in Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock inside the card.

You can see a list of supplies, including card stock cuts, to create this project at the very bottom of my blog post.
