Starting tomorrow Emma is going to have a "Customer Appreciation Sale"! Yes ~ I said SALE! Save 20% with coupon code:: THANKU! This weekend only! Friday July 20, 2012 ~ July 22, 2012!
I hope to show you all how versatile Emma's products can be used. So for today's card I just had to share with you my rocket ship I created with the My Creative Time June Stamp release (click here) and some other MCT dies. It is VERY unconventional but I just had this vision when I first saw the hot air balloon! During the release some of the hot air balloons that my fellow design team members created ~ whether it was the paper they used or how they paper pieced ~ I could see this rocket ship! So I got this CRAZY idea to create one! So I stamped the hot air balloon image on this shiny silver paper. I cut out the middle section of the balloon including the the strings to the basket. Then I looked at my Pocket dies and thought those could be the wings ~ I used two of them. The banner dies could be the flames. But then I was a little stumped for the little window part until I realized the stitched circle die from the Build A Banner Kit would fit PERFECTLY! I know you are all thinking I am out there with this but I think it turned out rather CUTE! My son LOVED it! I tried to make this as masculine as I could minus the bling for stars. I am sending this to my sister's boyfriend who just had an AMAZING opportunity to work with a very well known company! I just want him to know "Reach for the sky ~ The sky is the limit!"
Have a GREAT day!
