Take To The Sky

Do you ever have someone in mind when you are looking through a Stampin' Up! catalog and see something you have to have for that person?  Well, the Take To The Sky Suite Collection was just that for me.  And how appropriate too for Father's Day...  I had to have because of my DAD!  He has been a private pilot for the majority of his life.  Airplanes are his true passion.  And although, within the last few years, giving up his pilots license, he keeps himself surrounded by friends who share the same passion.  

He would be upset with me if he know I was going to tell you this... but here it goes.  As dad ages, his memory is full.  I can tell him something today and he may or may not remember it tomorrow.  Not that he has an issue or anything, I just think as someone ages, short term memory is not what it used to be.  But boy!  Talk to him about airplanes and he is as sharp as a tack!  It is amazing. 

I know he misses flying, and even though the "Take To The Sky" suite collection does not have the exact airplanes he owned or flew, I know he will appreciate his Father's Day card this year.

My colors are Smokey Slate, Misty Moonlight and Basic White.  All products linked below.  

Using Stampin' Dimensions was perfect to make the small cloud and airplane stand out.  My photo light is shining from the top so it accentuates the dimension.  This project came together very easily and I cannot wait to give it to Dad.

Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection

Hello there... I have another share using the Online Exclusive Product Suite called "Flowering Zinnias".  Love, love, love this suite collection.  

Now, I was not going to post this one because I actually made it 2 months ago!  And since then, the New 2024-2025 Catalog went live which means we had to say good bye to some products.  Can you guess what item I used that is no longer available?  Keep reading to find out and what I recommend to use in its place. 

#stampwithlisabrown #floweringzinniabundle

I have used all items from this suite collection:  stamps, dies, designer series paper, embossing folder and sequins.  But my favorite part it the added bonus of coordination Berry Burst Glimmer Specialty paper (comes in a pack with two other colors).  I used the glimmer paper to mat the piece of DSP, adding an extra little sparkle.  

*The zinnia flower is a piece of designer paper!  Yep... there are beautiful patterns and florals on the DSP that you can fussy cute fairly easily to use as your focal point. 

Let's not forget the inside....

#stampwithlisabrown #floweringzinniaDSP

Use the edges of your designer series paper to add some life to the inside of your card!  Just because its not a whole image, in this case a zinnia flower, USE THOSE EDGES!

So, are you still asking what is the retired product on this card?  If you said the Handmade Tag punch, you are correct!  

My suggestion:  replace the tag punch with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.  I added that to my supply list below!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this card.
