Stampin' Up!© Soar Confidently

 Hello!  Welcome to another card share here on my blog.

Today's card could be used as a graduation card, a Father's Day card, or for many other celebrations.

The stamp set is Soar Confidently, and is in the current 2021 January-June Mini Catalog.  It will be "retiring" after June 30.  The set has some wonderful vintage looking "air machines," and lends itself beautifully for creating more masculine cards.

Stamp set & Border Die I used.

I also used a product found in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog:  the Basic Borders Dies.  This is a set of 6 dies that cut several types of borders - ziz-zag, curved, scalloped and others.  I used the one that cut a varied-scalloped edge resembling clouds.  I cut two and glued them, overlapping, at the bottom edge of the piece of DSP.  You can see them in the close-up, below.

How do you like the sky background?  I didn't stamp this - rather it is a selection of Designer Series Paper.  What could be easier?  The DSP is also in the new catalog - called Beauty of the Earth 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.  You can purchase it separately or as part of the Beauty of the Earth Suite.

Hostess Code for May:   YQVDTM9M

Paper measurements:

• Card base:  Misty Moonlight card stock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", fold at 4 1/4".
• Layer of Basic Black CS:  5 3/8" x 4 1/8".
• Designer Series Paper (the sky):  Beauty of the Earth DSP:  4" x 5 1/4" and another piece to cut the clouds twice, using the Basic Borders Dies.

Details:

• Die-cut the clouds twice; glue to the bottom edge of the DSP piece, overlapping the clouds.
• Use Basic Gray ink to stamp the plane image and the sentiment directly onto the DSP.
• Glue the black CS panel to the card base.
• Using Stampin' Dimensionals, adhere the image piece to the black CS panel.

Inside:

For the inside, I used a piece of Smoky Slate CS (I felt white was too stark for this card), 4" x 5 1/4".  The sentiment inside is from Inspired Thoughts stamp set, which I stamped in Basic Gray ink.  I also stamped the plane once more, but coming off the page.

There you have it.  I hope you are inspired to use this set and create a card of your own.  What do you think?
