Have you ever taken a ride in a hot air balloon? I want to so badly, but my fear has gotten the best of me. We've even gone to balloon festivals where you can float up, still tethered to the ground, and I haven't been able to do it....yet! One day.....
Today we are continuing the fun with more projects from the new August release. I have a card to share featuring the Going Places Stamps and Dies paired with the Starry Night Background Die.
Perfect together!
I love the Starry Night Background Die because it doesn't cut an outline which means you can cut those stars anywhere on your project. Here I have cut them from the center of a card panel cut with the Love Mom Layers rounded rectangle die. I have backed the stars with a piece of white cardstock that has been colored with the same Copics used to color the hot air balloon.

Adorable card, Kara! Love how you popped up the balloon!
ReplyDeleteNever been in a hot air balloon either and the only one I would consider even going in is one tethered to the ground. ;)
What a cute card. I love the adorable critters in this going places set. I'm so with you on the getting up high in the air in a wicker basket, I think the terror would overcome the rewards of the views.
ReplyDeleteReally love the triple stack! Cute
ReplyDeleteI just love the look of the Going Places stamp set, and your card is just super adorable. Love how you used the star background with the multicoloured stars. Love the layering of the balloon and raccoon, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOh Kara, that card is super sweet. Great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Love the triple layers look.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. I thought that balloon was going to float off the page. Great idea to layer it like that. Great coloring too.
ReplyDeleteLove the dimension and the cute raccoon! Darling card! Starry Night is a fabulous new die... can't wait to get my hands on it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!! I love how you created the fun dimensions!!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to go on a balloon ride but my fear of heights won't let me. I should just do it, though. Maybe when I turn 50 in a few years!!! When I was 21, I jumped out of a plane. Went to classes and did a tandem jump all by myself-no friends with me. It was so FUN. Sometimes you have to step through the fear because really, what is the worse that can happen? (okay, you could get hurt but you were tethered, not so much!)
Kara, this is just darling!!! Love the color combo of pinks, yellows and oranges...so cheery!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute and fun card! Popping the balloon up is a great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your card! Love the dimension on it.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this card with the 3D dimension. This is a very clever idea. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteAdorable card, Kara. I have taken a hot air balloon ride in my younger and braver days. Now, I like to keep my self on the ground.
ReplyDeleteLove the hot air balloon!
ReplyDeleteOmg, Kara, I don't think this could be any cuter!! I've never ridden in a hot air balloon, too afraid, not because of the heights but because I tend to get air sickness :(
ReplyDeleteGreat layers on your card!
ReplyDeleteYour card is just wonderful! I love the colors in your balloon and in the pretty stars!
