I am LOVING this set! It is so fun...hot air balloons are HOT right now in paper crafting (and I wasn't sure why....I know!) BUT I ordered the set because I thought, "I see great things with hot air balloons...maybe, I can give it a shot." And am I ever glad that I did! I love this set! I love the ribbons that cascade from the basket, the options for the patterns and just everything about it! I hope you do too!
Emma has been at my mom's this week as my niece has been staying with my mom (Augusta....who just turned two). Without even hesitating, Emma jumped at the opportunity to help my mom, but more importantly play with a "little girl". Emma really wishes sometimes just one of her brothers were a girl (I can't entirely blame her:) Anyhow, I was missing her so I decided to make her a little card and drop it by for her.
I thought this DSP was PERFECT for the card....don't the little rain drops upside down look like hot air balloons? The DSP is called Berry Blossoms (I think it might just be my favourite DSP....right now:) I am also loving Calypso Coral. I thought this would be my least favourite new In Colour, but I am out of the paper first, ribbon and brads....so what does that tell you????
Anyhow, back to the card....I sure am babbling a ton today! The clouds for this card are the cupcake punch. I embossed them all except for the greeting. The coral and pool party balloons are popped up and I did stamp and cut out the baskets.
I also decorated the inside of the card with the matching concept and layout. I hope you like the card today and the colour combination (Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral and Pool Party!)
Have a great day!
Take care,
Heather
AND GUESS WHAT....I have a video for you today!!!! I've shot a few for you for the next few days!!! Are you excited? If you like videos let me know and I'll try and keep doing them...if it makes no difference to you then I'll take the lazy route:)
Love everything about your site and when you post a video, I can't tell you how much I enjoy them. I loved your presentation last year at Convention--so I love it when you post a video.

I very much enjoy the videos. Thanks for taking the extra time to film and edit them for us!

Thanks for the video! I used to love watching you quickly put together cards, esp. using punches -You sure have a knack for making every stamp set and DSP a "must have" item! Congrats on your achievements this last year - it's inspiring to see someone go cheerfully about their demonstrating, and be so successful by sharing ideas and dreaming up projects!!

Hi Heather:
I love your videos - please keep them coming.. I especially would like to see how you do the "bumble bee sweet treat cup slider project dated March 2011". Congratulations on all your awards at convention as well. You are an awesome demonstrator and give so much inspiration to me and my daughter.

Yeah-videos are back. I've been missing them.
I agree with Fita that we are looking forward to another class. We're you able to give a copy of the MDS video to Dawn at convention?

I LOVE watching your videos!! Please keep them coming :) Also, I feel the same way about Calypso Coral. I wasn't a fan when I first saw it but I think it's my favorite color right now, I just ordered more cardstock, ribbon, everything in that color :) Fantastic card!

I love watching your videos as well. I hope that you decide to do them more often for your blog. I was also unsure of this set, however now I can see myself using it. Thank you Heather!!

First off.... I LOVE seeing your videos!!! :o) Your card for Emma is pretty! I like the hot air balloons too! The colors are great as well! I feel for Emma... I have a house full of males... I wasn't blessed with any girls... ALL BOYS! So I can understand why she would want to go help take care of her sweet little cousin... Not that my boys aren't a blessing either.... They are Wonderful, sweet, kind loving young men.... But apart of me wishes I had a daughter to spend some girly time with... :O) I guess that's why I go to crops! To get some girl time in! :o)
