Love is in the Air

My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’

Design Team Blog Hop

Valentines Day is right around the corner, so we are 

getting ready, by showing our valentine creations.

You should be coming from Angela's blog.

If not head on over to Jessi’s blog to get started.

I have used the Mandarin Baker's twine and the

Orange Mesh Ribbon from the

My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’ store.

Jessi has some amazing new products over

there, go take a look.

 I made this card using some cutting files

from the Silhouette Studio Store. I

Made changes to the files to add hearts.

I used the Mandarin Baker's twine and the

Orange Mesh Ribbon from the

My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’ store.

The paper for the balloon is from a 

multi-pack at Micheal's The paper for 

the clouds and the "love is in the air"

stamp are from a muse studio

The blue cardstock is from my stash.

I also used a toothpick for my flag.

To get the card shaped right, I placed my

clouds and balloon in the Silhouette

software in a position I liked. Then I 

created an offset or shadow layer. After that 

I made a duplicate of the shape, then flipped it 

around to the top (making a card base)

I welded those shapes then I cut the card 

base out. When assembling the hot air 

balloon for the card, I lined the edges 

on the balloon with the Mandarin Baker's twine.

Then I took the Orange Mesh Ribbon, folded

it in half and glued it to the balloon basket.

After it dried I trimmed the excess off.

I glued the clouds to the card base, then

I used foam square adhesive to 

attach the balloon to the card and 

also to add the flag.
