To be honest, I was hit with a major creative block when I went to start making my project. My January was filled with travel - both fun and sad - and it kicked my butt. So I did a little searching around Pinterest for inspiration and found a bunch of ADORABLE cloud mobiles. I thought some of the dies in the kit would be perfect for making my own little cloud wall hanging!
I absolutely love the Nesting Clouds Infinity Dies that are an optional add-on to the kit. Clouds in many sizes - ooooh does this make me HAPPY! I used the largest die to cut out my clouds from white felt. I love the felt from Benzie Designs - super nice quality wool felt.
I also used the little raindrop-shaped die from the Raining Fluff Frame Cuts. I love the matching stamp set for these dies so much, it's adorable!! I'll be sharing more cards made with it very soon! And the heart was cut using the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies, which were in the Valentine's release and are completely fabulous!
Here's a look at the full kit! There's so much in here to love!
And all of the add-ons are fantastic, too! The little animals in Fun in the Rain??? ADORABLE!!
