Adventurous Sky

I love the Adventurous Sky suite. The stamp set, dies and designer paper are all amazing. I thought this was the perfect set for this shadowbox card. Fits perfectly in a A2 envelope  On my post from May 20th f this year I made a card with the die cut airplane, this card I used the stamps. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Adventurous Sky

Ink: Momento Black and Night of Navy

Stampin’ Blends: dark Smokey Slate, light and dark Cherry Cobbler

Paper: White and Smokey Slate card stock, Take to the Sky designer series paper

Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss machine, Adventurous Sky and Spotlight on Nature dies, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, Tear Tape, Tombo liquid glue, Paper trimmer, Simply scored, paper snips

Cutting instructions:

White card stock: cut two 5 ½” x 4 ½”, score at ½”, 1”, 4 ½” and 5”

Designer paper: 3” x 4 ¼” for inside, 5 1/2 “ x 4 ¼” for card front scored same as card stock.

White card stock scraps for stamping one large plane, two small planes, and one each of the three clouds.

Directions:

1. Glue smaller designer paper (blue) just inside the score lines. (see photo).

2. Glue the designer paper card front (gray) to second white cardstock panel, I recommend not putting glue in center where you will die cut circle out. Die cut circle out using the Spotlight on Nature dies. (see photo) You will have a nice die cut circle to use on another project.

3. Stamp one large and two small planes using Momento Black ink. Color using the light Smokey Slate and light and dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. Stamp all three cloud stamps with Night of Navy ink.

4. Die cut all planes and clouds with the Adventurous Sky die set.

5. Stamp Happy Birthday in Night of Navy ink. Die cut with banner die. I slid the end of my die down closer to the y in birthday and ran through the machine a second time to cut shorter. You could just use your paper snips to dog ear it smaller if you prefer.

6. Die cut using a scrap of Smokey Slate card stock the cable that connects the banner to the plane. Cut on top of banner and glue under the largest plane. Glue largest plane to largest cloud.

7. If you want a sentiment on the back or sign card now would be a good time to do that. It is not impossible to do at the end, but easier now when flat and smooth. 

8. Add Tear Tape to back panel up against both edges (see photo). 

9. Add front to back lining up carefully. Also make sure your inner folds down on the card front and up on the inside. (see photo)

10. Glue smallest cloud inside the circle on the inside (Blue) panel. Add a small plane using a mini Stampin’ Dimensional. Glue medium sized cloud to the bottom left side of the front panel hanging over the first score line. (make sure not to add glue past the score line.

11. Attach the Large plane with cloud and banner to card front using mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, also making sure not to attach past the score line.

You are done. Imagine all the stamps sets and designer paper you could use with this card fold.
