- 2 pieces each 2-3/4" x 4-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock

Pick out the long, thin framelit from the Rainbow Builder Framelits that cuts out smaller, more scalloped cloud tops. Place one of the pieces of white cardstock on a Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the long, thin cloud tops framelit on top near the top edge. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the long, thin framelit from the Rainbow Builder Framelits that cuts out big, puffy cloud tops. Place the other piece of white cardstock on a Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the long, thin cloud tops framelit on top near the top edge. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the smaller, more scalloped cloud tops strip to the Soft Sky layer so the top edge is about 2-1/4" up from the bottom. Trim off excess cardstock on the sides and bottom using Paper Snips.
Mount the sentiment from the Lift Me Up Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. Stamp it just below the tops of the clouds on the big, puffy cloud tops strip so it is on the right side.
Adhere the stamped, big, puffy cloud tops strip to the Soft Sky rectangle so it overlaps the bottom of the previous cloud strip. Trim off excess cardstock on the sides and bottom using Paper Snips.
Pick out the largest to third largest arch framelits from the Rainbow Builder Framelits. Place a piece of cardstock on the Precicion Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the correct arch framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces if necessary. Repeat for each arch.
Largest arch - Rich Razzleberry Cardstock
Second arch - Melon Mambo Cardstock
Third arch - Powder Pink Cardstock
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere each of the arches to the upper right corner of the Soft Sky rectangle. Start with the Rich Razzleberry arch. The top of the razzleberry arch should be about 1/2" from the top and the left end should be near the center of the Soft Sky cardstock with the right end hanging over the right edge. Adhere the remaining arches inside the previous arch.
Use Paper Snips to trim off excess cardstock hanging off the right edge.
Adhere the Soft Sky layer to the front of the Melon Mambo card.
Carefully peel up the protective backing on one side of the large square of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and adhere the adhesive sheet to one side of the Powder Pink cardstock square. Leave the other protective backing piece in place.
Place the piece of Powder Pink cardstock on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot so that the adhesive side (with protective backing in place) is on the bottom (Powder Pink showing on top).
Pick out the large, detailed hot air balloon thinlit from the Up & Away Thinlits. Place it on top of the Powder Pink piece on the Big Shot so you will cut out the top of the balloon (don't worry about getting the gondola basket and strings holding the gondola basket to the balloon, we'll get those cut out later). Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Peel the protective backing off of the hot air balloon cut out. Adhere it to the square of Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Use Paper Snips to trim off excess designer paper on all sides of the balloon cut out. If necessary, also cut off any of the strings holding the gondola basket to the balloon.
Carefully peel up the protective backing on one side of the small square of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and adhere the adhesive sheet to the back (white side) of the 1" Gold Foil Sheets square. Leave the other protective backing piece in place.
Place the piece of Gold Foil Sheet on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot so that the adhesive side (with protective backing in place) is on the bottom (shiny, gold side facing up).
Place the large, detailed hot air balloon thinlit on top of the Gold Foil Sheets square on the Big Shot so you will cut out the gondola basket and strings holding the gondola basket to the balloon. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
WITHOUT adhering, place the top of the hot air balloon on the front of the card so the right side of the balloon overlaps the left ends of the rainbow arches. Peel the protective backing off of the gondola basket and strings gold foil cut out. Adhere the gondola basket and strings to the front of the card so they will be hanging from the bottom of the hot air balloon and overlap the clouds a bit.
Put some SNAIL on the back of the hot air balloon cut out and adhere it to the front of the card making sure that it overlaps the tops of the strings holding the gondola basket to the balloon.
Pick out the sun framelit from the Rainbow Builder Framelits. Place the 1-1/4" square of Gold Foil Sheets on a Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the sun framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use a Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the sun cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the right edge of the balloon where it intersects with the rainbow arches.
Carefully peel up three glittery raindrops from a sheet of Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere them to the card front so they are falling from the rainbow arches.
