Balloons for your Birthday

Hello Friends!

I hope you are having a fabulous start to your week!
Since it's raining (again) outside, which mean I can't go out and play in my flower beds, I'm taking the opportunity to work on some of the 5 sets of cards my cousin has requested for weddings she has coming up over the summer months.  I actually delivered the first set over this past weekend (she needed them by May 28th) so thought I would share a few of them with you from time to time.


Inside View


We all need birthday cards so I thought I would keep this card 'gender neutral'.  This way the recipient will be able to use it for just about anyone.  And of course, it had to have HAPPY colors!

Dies used are:


Memory Box - Dies - Open Studio - Wrapped Stitch Frames


Paper Rose - Dies - Bunch Of Balloons



Stamps used are:
Verve Stamps - Blessings (front)
Technique Tuesday (balloons on inside) - Umpteenth Birthday
Hero Arts -  Many Birthday Messages (CL611)


The balloons were die cut from white card stock, colored using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, then popped up on the front panel using dimensional tape.

Challenges to share in:
AAA Birthday Game #1 - Anything Birthday

Since this set of cards was created for an Amish girl, I wasn't too sure if this was too much color but my cousin said it was perfect so I was happy to hear that.

As always, thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to stop by!

    What a fun and festive card and perfect for any age or gender for sure. I love the balloon dies and was looking that set over quite closely lately and thinking of ordering them. With this inspiration I just might do that now.

    I must say that is one of the cutest balloon dies I've seen! I wouldn't know where to start with cards for the Amish, but if she says so... Very cute!
