Paper:

   Cameo Coral 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Apricot Appeal DSP (6)

Ink:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Dimensionals

   Sponge

   Adhesive

First, I die cut 6 balloons using the Balloon Framelits Dies and some Apricot Appeal DSP. 

Next, I stamped and die cut my sentiment. I sponged it using Apricot Appeal and added three brads to it.

Next, I stamped my card front. I stamped the sun in the upper right side. I laid down the balloon as a guide and stamped the balloon tails and the sparkles.

I then adhered one balloon onto the card front. I then folded the balloons in half and adhered them together, side by side. I followed a tutorial found at SCS called Honeycomb Shapes. You may want to take a look and then adapt it for your own card.

Lastly, I attached the sentiment using dimensionals and adhered all of the layers together. One of the Basic White panels was adhered to the inside of the card.

Twisted Balloon

Balloons are mostly used for bringing smiles to people's faces. We may send balloons to someone who is sick, hoping the balloons will help them smile. We might send balloons to celebrate a special occasion or day. It doesn't matter; balloons are fun! Here is a balloon with a golden banner to celebrate that special day. Thoughts?

I then die cut the balloon, and banners using the Balloon Framelits. I adhered the Gold Glimmer banner onto the balloon using liquid glue. The balloon and celebrate banners are attached with dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

It is quite easy to switch out the colors to the recipient's favorite colors, or the celebrate banner to a congratulations or welcome banner.

Delicious Fish

 Have you ever wondered what goes through a cat's mind as he is staring at an aquarium? I'd say, "Yum, delicious fish for dinner." What do you think?

Yup, you're right. He's wagging his tail and licking his lips. This is a Double Z-Fold Card. This cat has much to celebrate. Here is a closer look.

I added a swirly, orange paper clip at the bottom to help keep the card closed. The sentiment at the top keeps the panels together, but the clip helps to keep them flat. Here is the inside of the card.

Glittery Balloons

Here is a wonderful masculine birthday card for any age group.

Stamps: Celebrate Today

Paper: Night of Navy A-2, Tangerine Tango 5 1/4 x 4, Whisper White 5 1/8 x 3 7/8, Gold Glimmer, + scraps of each one.

Ink: Night of Navy, Tangerine Tango

Technique: Sponging, Dry Embossing, Die Cutting

Accessories: Balloon Framelit Dies, Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Sponge, Paper Snips, Dimensionals, Adhesive

I die cut my balloons and then dry embossed them with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder. I then just placed them on the card to know where to stamp the balloon baskets. Next, I randomly stamped the background using both colors. I then added the balloons. You can attach them with adhesive or dimensionals. You do need to cut the balloons to give them the straight edge on the card. I then stamped my sentiment and sponged the edges. Lastly, I assembled the card. I used adhesive and dimensionals. Notice the use of the two colors throughout the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek. Your feedback is welcomed and appreciated. 

HAPPY STAMPING!
