SOAR CONFIDENTLY

When I first saw this stamp set I could not wait to get my hands on it. Once I had it I made a few cards and  then it sat on the shelf for a while, and now it is retiring! So... I felt it time I take it from the shelf and ink up those stamps! I am happy with the cards I made. They will be great for a lot of the guys in my life. Best of all the cards were quick and easy to make!

All four cards were made using a Crumb Cake card base and Night of Navy ink. I often use the Crumb Cake with Night of Navy color combination for masculine cards. I kept the cards simple - stamps, ink, and paper plus some dimensionals. 

I stamped the airplane image on a piece of scrap Crumb Cake cardstock that was about 4” x 3”. I tore the cardstock all around the image. The image is adhered to a piece of 6x6 DSP  - Neutrals, that is 3 1/2” x 2  1/4”. The piece is matted on a 3 3/4” x 2 1/2” piece of Night of Navy cardstock. The focal panel is my adhered to the card with dimensionals. The happy birthday is from the BIGGEST WISH stamp set (Annual Catalog).

I stamped the hot air balloon on scrap Crumb Cake cardstock. I used a blending pen and some Merry Merlot ink to add a bit more color. I fussy cut the balloon and popped it up on dimensionals. The DSP is 3 3/4” x 2” and the Night of Navy card base is 4” x 2 1/4”. The sentiment is from the SOAR CONFIDENTLY stamp set. I stamped “Happy Birthday” inside the card.

I stamped the balloon and zeppelin images several times on a 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”  then trimmed it down to 5” x 3 3/4” and matted it on a 5 1/4” x 4” piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Once again the greeting is from the BIGGEST WISH stamp set. The greeting is stamped on a 3” x 2” piece of Crumb Cake and then matted on a 2 1/8” x 3 1/8” piece  of Night of Navy cardstock. The greeting is adhered to the focal panel, and he entire piece is attached to the card base with dimensionals.

This card is the the landscape version of the previous card. I used the airplane image instead of the balloon and zeppelin images.
