Paper Crafting Blog Hop – April Last Chance Products!

4 Comments

Welcome to our April Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring products on the Last Chance List and/or Mother’s Day! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

I love the Hot Air Balloon stamp set (#162748) and the Hot Air Balloon Dies (#162754) both on the Last Chance List. They remind me of our trip to Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta! My card base is Daffodil Delight, with a layer of Blueberry Bushel, and a layer of Basic White.

I stamped the Old Olive & Daffodil Delight balloon on the layer along with the Pecan Pie basket. I stamped the Blueberry Bushel & Daffodil Delight Balloon on a scrap as well as the Poppy Parade & Daffodil Delight. A die cut basket is popped up under that basket. The clouds were die cut and then sponged on the edges with Blueberry Bushel. I finished the card with the sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708).
