Above the Clouds Pop Up Box Card

Today’s project is a sneak peak of one of my favorite bundles from the 2019 Annual Catalog that will go live next week on June 4th. This bundle is perfect for this time of year as we are in the middle of our 46th Annual Helen Hot Air Balloon Race here in North Georgia. Watching all those colorful balloons floating majestically across the North Georgia mountains is a sight to see.

The Above the Clouds Bundle includes a Photopolymer stamp set and coordinating punch – making it a great bundle for all kinds of crafters. I’ve teamed this set up with one of our retiring Designer Series Papers , Best Route (146897) which is part of the Last Chance List. This paper has a travel theme and contains wonderful areal images of of roads which I thought was great for the hot air balloon theme.

Flowering Desert

Today’s post is the result of my wondering mind over the weekend – I started thinking about just how hot it was for the end of may here in the North Georgia mountains. It just shouldn’t be in the 90’s the end of May, sigh. I’m thinking it’s going to be a long hot one, if this is a hint of what is to come. Any how, the heat got me thinking about my Aunt who lives in Phoenix, which in turn got me thinking about my first barrel cactus she gave me as a child, which got me thinking about our stamp set Flowering Desert. See what I mean….some days are funny that way. LOL

Any how today’s cards both use the retiring Flowering Desert stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. Succulents are still very popular and this set is perfect for creating some wonderful cards.

Like these cards? Why not check out the stamp set today? It’s only available for a limited time since it is part of the Last Chance List. AND did you know that there is a You Can Make It option (150813)? yep, it contains the set, clear block, card stock and 4 colors ink! Perfect to get your started.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a card tutorial with you.
