Peek A Boo Balloon Episode 1

Happy 2020!  I am going to love this year, I can already tell. 

Today I'm kicking off a new stamp set of the month!  The Peek A Boo Balloon set by Avery Elle. 

Each week in January I will be bringing you new ideas with this stamp set. This week's card is inspired by the frequent visits our neighborhood gets from hot air balloons. They fly right over our house. 

Idaho is a great place to see lots of hot air balloons. And it just so happens that we live were most of the hot air balloons land. So in the spring through fall we get a lot of fly overs in our neighborhood. And often we get to see them land. A few times they have come close enough for us to even talk to the riders while flying over!  It's very exciting and I always take pictures. Here is one of my faves, just outside my house.

So, this had to be my first card with this set. 

I love the elephant in the balloon, he's so big and is floating in a balloon, so cute. 

I used distress oxide ink, Salty Ocean to create the sky background. And the roof and chimney is a die set by Lawn Fawn, Roof Top Border. All the stamped images are from Avery Elle. You can use any of their Peek A Boo critters in this ballon set, which is why I love it!  

You can check out the making of this card in the YouTube video below.

 

I will be back again next week with another fun idea with this set. If you have not yet done so, I'd love for you to subscribe to my YouTube channel. I have new videos coming out regularly. 

Below I have listed and linked all the supplies I used to make today's card. Please let me know if you have any questions. And if you choose to shop the links below know that doing so helps support this blog and YouTube channel, thank you so much for your support! 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by! And have a blessed 2020!

Santa's Workshop Reveal Wheel Card

Hey there stamping friends! This month has been a roller coaster for me!  I am late in bringing you the December stamp set of the month series because my computer crashed.  I am now back in business, Santa came early and brought me a new computer!  

So, this video was in the works when all that happened and I do state that I will be bringing you new ideas with the stamp set of the month each week. Clearly that did not happen, but I will be back next week with another idea with this stamp set. 

I guess this is a good time to announce the December stamp set of the month, HoHo Holidays by Lawn Fawn.  You probably know by now that Lawn Fawn is my spirit animal!  I love everything they put out. And, this Santa themed set is no exception. And I love that there are so many other Lawn Fawn sets and products that I can pair with it. 

Today I am pairing the Build-a-House die set with it. I told you I was not done with this die set!  I am turning the house into Santa's workshop with the toys rotating in the window with the help of the Reveal Wheel. Let's take a look. 

If you have not seen a Reveal Wheel card before it consists of a window in the card and a rotating element that changes the picture in that window. In this case the window shows the different toys being made in Santa's workshop. 

The addition of the Holiday Helpers stamp set made this card possible. That is where all the toy images came from as well as the elf on the front of this card. 

I'd love for you to watch the video so I can show you how I added the brick texture to the house with a tool you probably have at home. 

Check out the video here and if you have not yet done so I'd love for you to subscribe to my channel. Now that I have a new computer I will be back at making a couple video's a week. 

 

Below you will find all the products I used to make this card.

Affiliate links have been used at not cost to you, thank you for your support. 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share my creations with you!
