My card today stars the new Take To The Sky Suite of products.  It is on page 37 of the Annual Catalog.  I loved the samples shown at OnStage but was hesitant to get the set.  Would I really use it.  I have to say the answer to that is a definite YES.  This is an awesome suite!

Paper

The paper is really the star of this card.  It is the most used and a variety of the pieces are used, so I had to begin here.  First the airplane is fussy cut from a piece of the DSP.  All of the DSP is from the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper.  There are planes, clouds, scenery, and then sort of industrial on the opposite sides.  The two pieces you see as the layer are both sides of one piece.  I cut a 3 5/8 X 4 7/8 piece and then cut 2″ off the top.  The clouds are the 2″ piece.  Then I flipped over to the other side for the Gray Granite grid.

The card base and the tag are both Boho Blue.  This is my favorite of all of the beautiful blues we carry.  It reminds me of a Country Blue.  I think it is the perfect color to pair with an airplane.  The layer of Basic White was to break up things a bit and to help the grid of the bottom DSP to pop a little more.

Stamps

The Happy Birthday is from the Adventurous Sky stamp set.  There are several great sentiments but I needed one for a birthday and it fit the best on my tag. 🙂  I stamped on a scrap of Basic White then cut one side straight to fit the edge.  The other was angled.  Then I decided that it needed a backing.  And Gray Granite seemed a great fit as it is in the grid design.  There were no precise cuts here, just eyeballing.  I apologize to those of you who like exact measurements.  For the inside I used another sentiment that says “You’re The Best Plane & Simple”.  Isn’t that perfect for an airplane suite!

Tag and Embossing

The tag seemed the right addition for this card.  It holds the little airplane and helps it to stand out a bit.  Plus it could be used as a bookmark or even a gift tag as well.  This tag Die is from the Merriest Trees Dies.  I love the size of it.

To give the tag some added dimension, I embossed it.  The new So Swirly 3D Embossing Folder is wonderful.  These swirls would work for a variety of scenes, like air or waves.  Plus it is simply different and very pretty.

Finishes

To complete the tag, I added some of the Iridescent Striped Trim.  Even though this is 1/2″ wide, it is very soft and flexible.  So no problems with using it as a tag pull.  To complete the tag, I used the Industrial Trinkets that are part of the Take To The Sky Suite.  They are fairly thick and fit a glue dot perfectly on the base to adhere them.  I am not mailing this card so no worries on the thickness.  But you might want to keep that in mind.  And it would be ok except that I had raised the tag as well.
