Keep Smiling

Hi friends! I hope your weekend is going going along nicely and you’re doing something fun! Seems the weekends pass by just as fast as the week days! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Birthstone Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for BSC #11 – Sapphire & Opal + optional Friendship. I have several Spellbinders 3D Vignette die sets in my stash that have never seen the light of day and this is one of them. I used both sapphire and opal colors to make this fun friendship card that folds flat for mailing. I love that!

Using the Spellbinders 3D Vignette Hot Air Balloon die set, I cut the balloon pieces from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Sapphire, Silk Glitter Opulent Opal and Bright Silver Foil cardstock. I cut the base, balloon reinforcement pieces and the clouds from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. Using dies in the same set, I cut the sentiment strip from Stardream Metallic Sapphire and Bright Silver Foil cardstock.

This was so much fun to assemble and it was amazing watching it come to life! I can attest that this die set is a definite must-have for your crafty stash!
