Up, Up, and Away!
Welcome! This weekend I am featuring two items from the Occasions Mini Catalog – the Create a Cupcake stamp set and the Build a Cupcake Punch! I have made many cupcake projects with these two items – but I love creating out-of-the-box samples! Here are two items I showcased at a workshop I did last night – a birthday card and a 6 x 6 scrapbook page.
To make the hot air balloon, I used Real Red textured cardstock, So Saffron cardstock, hemp, crimper, Build a Cupcake punch, 1-3/8" circle punch, Small Heart punch, crimper, and Stampin' Dimensionals. Be sure to place the Stampin' Dimensionals on top of the hemp – it helps secure them! The "clouds" are made from the frosting section of the Build a Cupcake punch and sponged with Marina Mist ink. On the scrapbook page, I distress the edges of the photo section with our distressing tool.

Mar 19, 2011 - 01:03:37Jane, you are really clever. I have put off ordering this punch and stamp set because, I unfortunately, do not think "outside the box" very well. But I love your cad and your scrapbook page. I may have to re-think my thoughts about not getting these items. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
So adorable! I love both your projects! Thanks for sharing!
What a cool idea. I had already though of the frosting as clouds. But I did not see the Balloon basket using the cupcake part. I believe there is a stamp with dots in that same set, if so it could be used to make rain drops on a card.
I loved your hot air ballonn, your rock girl.
How very clever! TFS.
The hot air balloon is really cool and original! Great card!
