Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Sale-A-Bration. We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Up, Up and Away with the Hot Air Balloon Suite. This super fun large slimline card is made with this Suite and the SAB Softly Sophisticated 3D embossing folder. You can get this embossing folder and the coordinating Softly Sophisticated stamp set free with a $100 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

This is a fun peek a boo card with the balloon hiding inside the card.
