The Stampin’ Up Hot Air Balloon Bundle promises to get your creative wheels turning for spring cards (birthday, baby, get well and beyond). It’s part of the Lighter Than Air Suite (one of My Favorite Things) and includes a well-designed set of dies and coordinating stamp set for building a scene that will bring smiles to both the recipient and YOU!
BUY THE BUNDLE BEFORE MAY 1 & SAVE 10%! The Hot Air Balloon stamp set and dies will be available in the new Stampin’ Up! 2024-25 Annual Catalog but will no longer be 10% off as of May 1. Here are other current bundles that will not be retiring but will no longer offer bundled (10% off) pricing.
WHAT I LOVE! It’s all in the details. Zoom in to see how one of the sixteen Hot Air Balloon dies produced the sweet scallop detail on the balloon. It fits and layers perfectly over the solid piece of Lemon Lolly (also a coordinating die). Keep looking to discover the clever details of the balloon basket, too.

Hello, something is wrong with print tutorial. I think when you scanned pages several went though at the same time. I would love to make this beautiful card but without being able to print the direction and the paper cuts I can’t. shar
