This week, my mother in law celebrated a special birthday. One of the things on her bucket list is to go on a hot air balloon ride so we helped her celebrate her birthday with a special gift certificate. I couldn't just give her a gift certificate and no special card being the Stampin' Up! demonstrator I am, so I made her a mini hot air balloon as her card. The original idea for the hot air balloon I saw was made by Melaine Bauer. stampin up demonstrator melbourne handmade Ros Davidson
One of the perks as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is to receive stamp sets and see sneak peeks before everyone else. I used a sneak peak stamp from the upcoming Stampin' Up! annual catalogue (released September 1st) on my hot air balloon creation. classes south east Melbourne
The simply scored scoring tool and brand new diagonal scoring plate made creating the basket box a cinch.
