¡¡¡Hola, Hola!!!
I am extra happy today since I get to share with you the
cards we made at my Stampin' Up party last weekend.
Yes, I had a Stampin' Up party at my house and a few of us (about 11) got to relax,
do some crafting, eat, talk, laugh and be ourselves for a few hours.
I always love having parties at my house, my friends come and we are here
for about 3-4 hours. After it I am exhausted, but so happy to have connected
with friends and do some crafting.
My husband is also very happy when I have my parties,
he says I do a little extra special cleaning :) around the house.
JIJIIJI it's true!
If my peeps are coming, I want my house spotless!!!
About the cards:
The two cards are so fantastic and
so full of detail that they each deserve their own blog post.
Today I will focus on card 1. Hot Air Balloon card
I am in LOVE!!!
That is ALL I can say.
My SU Demonstrator & friend is Becky R.- and she is AMAZING!!!
Technique Card 1: Z-fold.
For this card Becky R. taught us how to do a Z-fold while
still using a 8.5" x 5.5" piece of card-stock as a base.
I love learning new techniques!
Goodies used:
SU Stamp set: Lift me Up
SU Die set: Up & Away
Blue paper & ink: Night of Navy
Hot air ballon paper: a free item in the sale-a-bration catalog!
ribbon: Mint Macaroon
Other angles of the Z-fold:
The inside of the card gets decorated as well.
And OHHH - don't forget the envelope!
The front of the envelope & the flap!
Love the Z-fold, but does the card fit in a regular A2 envelope? - YES!
Another look at the Hot Air Ballon Card!
