Lift Me Up & Away Sneak Peek for Freshly Made Sketches



Well, it was back to playing with some more of my new toys this weekend, and one of the thinlit sets that I fell in love with when I first saw the Occasions 2017 Catalogue was the Up & Away Thinlits Dies**. Who doesn't love the look of Hot Air Balloons? And these are so versatile and varied! You can use the Precision Base Plate, like I have done here to get a super detailed die cut, or you can use the Lift Me Up stamp set ** to stamp a hot air balloon and use one of the two sizes of framelits to just cut around the outline. Or you could build a hot air balloon, cutting the different sections out of different coloured cardstock! Plus you have accessories like clouds and a heart and love notes with the framelits to go with them, and I absolutely love the script of the sentiments! And you can get the stamp set and the thinlits as a bundle and save 10% so you can't go wrong!

 I decided to use them on this week's Freshly Made Sketches' Challenge!

It's a fairly simple one with lots of room for interpretation. Look a little more closely at my design:


  • My colour scheme is one that brings me a lot of joy. All the colours except for Whisper White are In Colours and I love how soft they are:

  • The Designer Series Paper you see is from two sources. The Tip Top Taupe Stripe is from the 2015 - 17 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack and the Peekaboo Peach paper is from a Sale-A-Bration set that you will be able to earn free with a $60 purchase during Sale-A-Bration starting Jan. 4, 2017. It's called Carried Away DSP.**
  • The hot air balloon is die cut using the Up & Away Thinlit Dies** and then I added strips of Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon to the back using some glue. I love the effect the stripes give with the net-like design of the framework as they peek through.
  • Don't you love the script of the sentiment? It just fills me with a sense of satisfaction looking at it. Does that sound weird? I also like the wording of all the sentiments in the stamp set. This one is perfect for a birthday.
  • For another touch of Mint Macaron, I added another strip of ribbon, this time from the Holiday Catalogue. This is Mint Macaron from the 3/8" Ribbon Trio Pack, from the Paisley Suite. I like how the ribbing echos the stripes in the ribbon used on the balloon.
