Up, up, up in the air we go
with two new hot air balloons. In
addition to the new balloon examples, I have patterns for you to download to
make your own balloons. Plus a video
tutorial that walks you through making each type of balloon and explains the all
of the decorative details. In the video I
will also talk about the décor and construction of the Parfumerie
balloon I posted a week ago.
The first new sample is “Carnival
Curiosities” which is a plug for the Halloween
Carnival event that kicks off on September 5th. So those of you who plan to participate can
get an early start if you like and make a balloon for your carnival!
The second sample is
Steampunk Spells made with really cool papers from the new
Graphics 45 line. I’ll be using some
of these papers again for the Halloween Carnival. It's a pretty will ride for the skeleton!
Further down in this post is
a complete list of the products I used for both balloons which are carried by Alpha Stamps.
Spooky Wings Collage Sheet & Digital
File Set
You’ll notice that both of
the samples have wings. They wings are
from my new “Spooky
Wings” collage sheet which contains 10 sets of wings.
I also have a “Spooky Wings”
digital file set which contains 12 sets of wings (10 are the same as the
collage sheet plus two additional sets).
Digital files are great as they are separate images that you can size and
print as many times as you like or use them in your digital art. You’ll see me use these again in the
Halloween Carnival.
VIDEO TUTORIAL
In
this tutorial I’ll show you how to make hot air balloons from decorative paper.
You can make them as large or small as
you like; the only limitation is the size of the paper. In the video tutorial below I’ll show you how
to use the two patterns I have created to make two different types of balloons.

I believe you are the Holy Grail of Creativity Laura!!! I am enchanted by Steampunk and yours is uber fabulous. Halloween will be here very soon...
Laura, your work is amazing! I came across your Halloween link at another blog and had to check out your tutorial videos yesterday.
Which meant that all day today I spent in my Studio creating a Matchbox cabinet because of your beautiful creations! Thank you for the inspiration and instructions! I had so much fun creating my own, that I did a blog post, linking your site and video (and I used one of your images and made sure to credit you of course). I hope that is okay. If not, please let me know!
I ADORE your Apothecary tutorials too and hope to try this next! I am looking forward to learning more and so have added you to my blog list so I can keep up with all your new posts! Thank you so much Laura!

This is Steampunk weekend at out state Renaissance Faire. After seeing your interpretation of a hotair balloon I am looking at everything else I see in a new light.
My Heavens Laura, I can't keep up with you. :) Your designs are so amazing. And you keep coming up with these wonderful collage sheets as well!
