You’re Off to Great Places with the Above the Clouds Bundle

“Life is a beautiful ride – you’re off to great places!” What a wonderful sentiment (found in the upcoming Above the Clouds Bundle). Perfect for a lift me up – but also perfect to celebrate a graduation or life event. I was excited to play around with this new bundle (Demonstrators can purchase select items from the 2019 Annual Catalog before it’s release). Here’s my card for this week’s Global Design Project challenge:

GDP190Tips, Tricks and Reminders

  • Above the Clouds Bundle. Not only is the Above the Clouds Bundle filled with fun images and great sentiments but it’s the best kind of bundle Stampin’ Up! offers – photopolymer AND punch combination. Yay! That makes it easy-to-use and super-affordable. Here’s a look at this great, new bundle: Above the Clouds Bundle, Stampin' Up! 151135Go ahead – add it to your wish list so you are ready on June 4. ♥
  • Other elements. Not only does this card feature two balloons and sentiments from this new bundle, but the card showcases some other elements I want to point out. Here’s a closer look at the card:Above the Clouds Bundle, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingStampin’ introduces new 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers for all of the color families in the 2019 Annual Catalog. This pattern of stitched diamonds is from the 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This year’s patterns are great! Here’s a look at the 2019-2021 In Colors:Stampin' Up!'s 2019-2021 In Colors - Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty PeacockIf you’d like to see my introduction of the new colors, CLICK HERE. The scalloped edge along the Whisper White panel on this card is from the Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut Specialty Paper. Not only does the paper offer some great backdrops for cards, but there are some great borders. I simply colored over the panel with my Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Write Marker.

  • Sunshiny Color Combination. I just love the clash of this bright yellow with this soft blue. Pineapple Punch (one of Stampin’ Up!’s 2018-2020 In Colors) really pops against the backdrop of Seaside Spray (one of Stampin’ Up!’s 2019-2021 In Colors). Flirty Flamingo is the perfect color to help pull them together. If you like this combination of Seaside Spray, Flirty Flamingo and Pineapple Punch, save this:Stampin' Up!
