The Sky is the Limit

June 14, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 3 Comments

Hey everyone, I’m back with another My Thoughts Exactly stamp preview.  This week I just had to use the new Up, Up and Away set.  I have always wanted a hot air balloon stamp set.  Alyssa delivered in spades.  But to have it a mix and match pattern set is even better!  I just made an encouragement card.  Super quick and easy.  Take a look.

 
 
You might be wondering why the balloon’s parts are spaced so far apart.  That was the look I was going for.  Don’t ask why, I don’t know but I really like it that way.  You might not.  But I’m weird and love the fact that I can put this set together anyway I want.  How’s that for choices?!?  I also stamped the balloon and sentiment in three different colors for a shadow effect – light orange, dark orange and black.  
 
I also added a tad bit of glitter to my clouds for a shimmer effect and popped them off the card.  What do you think?  Yea or nay?  Go grab the Up, Up and Away set and show me what other ways you would display this adorable hot air balloon.  Looking forward to your creations.  Till next time….

We won’t lie, we miss the foil. ✨ But when our We won’t lie, we miss the foil. ✨
But when our foiling machine officially kicked the bucket, we rolled up our sleeves and got creative instead.

Meet the four new gradients stepping in as foil’s glow-up cousins. No drama, just smooth color and crisp prints. And judging by the reviews… yeah, people are loving them.

Sometimes Plan B turns out pretty darn good. 💁‍♀️

These are Crimson Luxe top tabs in two versions: one with reinforced holes, one without.

The goal here is simple:
How well do they hold up when you pop them in, move them around, and reposition dividers as needed?

Early takeaway?
These aren’t meant to be shuffled around constantly like a disc planner. This is more of a place-them-with-intention, then let them live there situation.

I’m testing both versions to see what actually holds up in real use, not just what looks good in photos.
More notes once I’ve abused them a little more. 😏
