Today I have used the Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away dies to make an anniversary card for my lovely husband.

Making the Lift Me Up card

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I then took a clear block and added some Balmy Blue ink by pressing the ink pad to the block. I added a drop of glycerine and mixed it with the Balmy Blue ink, I read somewhere that this gives a smoother ink blend and it absolutely does. It was amazing; the ink went on smoothly with no streaks and blobs. I added this panel to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.

I stamped the large hot air balloon in Granny Apple Green ink onto a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock and die cut it using the Up & Away dies and my Big Shot. I stamped the small hot air balloon in Bermuda Bay onto Bermuda Bay cardstock and again in Pacific Point on Pacific Point cardstock and die cut them out. While I had the Big Shot out I also die cut some of the cloud shapes from scrap Whisper White cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Pacific Point ink onto a cloud. The clouds were then added onto the inked piece using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Bermuda Bay balloon with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The other two balloons were added on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A really simple but sweet card. I hope my husband likes it
