Are you ready for fun card which is perfect for celebrating any occasion worth celebrating? I mean really, how can you not be ready to have some fun when you see the confetti printed paper and balloons, right? I used the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits to create the focal point of the front of the card…but did you realize the die was created to be a pop-up for the inside of the card. Yup, that’s right, there are various ways you can use just this piece from the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. Check out the video Stampin’ Up! put together HERE.
Today’s Color Palette
Let’s Take a Closer Look
I wanted to add a bit more interest to the card with a few different patterns to the balloon bouquet, so I stamped the balloon images from the Balloon Adventures stamp set and punched them out with the Balloon Bouquet punch. The banner was stamped with the Balloon Adventures stamp set and then I hand trimmed (also known as fussy cutting) around the banner. I love adding dimension to my projects and one of the easiest ways to do that is to pop something off the page with the use of some Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used them under the balloons and the banner. My color palette came directly from the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper from page 173 of the Annual Catalog. I am always drawn to Basic Black with a pop of Melon Mambo…Love It!
