Above the Clouds Box Card Project Sheet

Have you ever experienced a Hot Air Balloon ride?

My husband and I did several years ago on Lake Tahoe!

It was breathtaking! Soaring above the water and the trees ... landing back on the boat ... an awesome experience!!

This card brings back those wonderful memories and makes me want to do it all over again!!

I hope you enjoy this creation, too.

Magnolia Stamp Set You Won't Find in the Annual Catalog

Magnolia Blooms $14 #152729

Stampin’ Up! slid 3 new stamp sets into a ‘beginner stamper’ brochure which I have not shared yet. People have been talking about this little magnolia set and how to get it.

The Magnolia bundle in the catalog is fabulous but can be pricey for some with the double stamp set & dies.
This little guy is a great addition if you already have that bundle or if you want just a little bit of magnolias in your life!

Click HERE to view the 2019 Beginner Brochure PDF
(These sets are available till June)
If you would like one mailed to you, let me know!

They are also offering a bundle of items to make it easy for the beginner stamper.

The Magnolia Lane Card Bundle is #152868 for $45.50.
It includes the Magnolia Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set—6 stamps, Clear Block D, two of the 1″ Classic Stampin’ Spots in Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede, Magnolia Lane Small Memories & More Card Pack (10 double-sided printed cards) and 10 note cards/10 envelopes, and SNAIL Adhesive. 

I think we can all relate to just getting started and not knowing what to buy, so this may help some stampers get started.

Here are the other 2 stamp sets in that Beginner stamper brochure that are not in the annual catalog:

Celebrate with Cake $16  #149501
They also have a bundle for new stampers:

The bundle is #152861 for $46.50 and includes the Celebrate with Cake Photopolymer Stamp Set—14 stamps, Clear Block D, 2 Classic Stampin’ Pads—Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green and 20 Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes
(3-1/2 x 5 size, mailable)

This one is the Hoot Hoot Hooray set #149352 for $21.
It has a bundle also, which would be a great gift for a young teen or someone just getting started on stamping and coloring.

The bundle is #152871 for $60 and includes the Hoot Hoot Hooray Cling (rubber) Stamp Set–6 stamps, Clear Block D, full size Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad, 20 Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes, 13 Watercolor Pencils in Basic Black, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, and Whisper White.

Sailing Home Project Sheet

This nautical set is one of my favorites in the new Annual catalog (page 144-146). There's just something peaceful and calming about boats on the water, lighthouses, and birds.
I hope you enjoy it, too!
