Uplifting Cards with Up & Away Stamp Set

Hello LDRS fans! Maria Russell here with you and I am so excited to share my first post for LDRS Creative! For today's cards, I am showcasing the Up & Away stamp set and coordinating dies with the Slim Line Scallop die, the Love Stack stamp set, Sentiment Stack coordinating die, Rainy Day stencil, and Playful Patterns stencil. I also used the Raven, Prickly Pear Perfection, Pink Tutu and Swimming Hole hybrid inks. They are amazing!

The first card was ink-blended using the Playful Patterns stencil and Pink Tutu hybrid ink. I wanted a subtle background against the cute elephant being carried away by the balloon. The sentiment and the hearts were stamped using some Raven hybrid ink. Here's a closer look:

I love the images and sentiments from the Up & Away stamp set. I think we all need these type of cards in our stash to cheer someone up, who is having a bad day!

For my second card, I cut a panel of Bristol measuring 8 1/2 x 3 1/2. I ink-blended this panel using the Rainy Day stencil to create the grass with Prickly Pear Perfection hybrid ink. For the clouds, I used the Swimming Hole hybrid ink.

The scallop border was die-cut using one of my favorite dies, the Slim Line Scallop die set. This set contains 8 dies that you can use to create your cards.

The sentiment came from the Love Stack stamp set and die-cut using the Sentiment Stack coordinating die. I love that this die cuts out a bunch of sentiments in one go! Such a brilliant design!

I also have a process video of my cards today if you're interested.
