I was having fun with the new Artiste Cartridge and absolutely fell in love with the hot air balloon image. So, I decided to use the negative of my balloon as a frame to create this simple but fun card!

Here's how I made it:

1. Fold 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Kraft Cardstock in half to create card base.

2. Use your Artiste Cartridge to cut White Daisy Cardstock (go here for Cricut Craft Room Cut file). Center on Kraft card front lightly tracing balloon with pencil.

3. Stamp 3/4" x 2 3/4" White Daisy Cardstock with the It's Your Day stamp set using Autumn Terracotta Ink. Stamp Sentiment in Black Ink. Cut edge to create banner.

4. Wrap Harvest Baker's Twine around 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" White Daisy Cardstock. Wrap each color several times and use all colors for added interest. Adhere to card front making sure it is centered and covers traced outline.

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):

Paper: Kraft Cardstock, White Daisy Cardstock, Cocoa Cardstock

Stamps: It's Your Day (CC1020)

Ink: Autumn Terracotta (Z2101), Black (Z2105)

Other: Cricut Artiste, 3D Foam Tape, Harvest Bakers Twine (Z1751), Scotch Tape, Micro-Tip Scissors
