Beautiful Balloons - any occassion
This card can be used for any occasion: birthday, graduation, congratulations for any achievement! It has a simple fun fold as well which gives it a little extra special touch.
Preparation:
Paper:
Cardstock: Bubble Bath 41/4" x 11"
Scored at 4" and 6 3/4"
Berry Burst 4" x 3 3/4" (Front of card), 4" x 4" (Bottom of card)
Basic White 4" x 2 1/2" (inside sentiment), 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" (balloon), scrap for small circle
Designer Series Paper (DSP): Bright and Beautiful 4" x 2"
Misty Moonlight - scrap for small circle
Directions:
Fold the Bubble Bath cardstock on the scored edges in a zigzag fashion. The smaller part is the front of the card. Take the two Berry Burst cardstock pieces and run them through with Stampin Cut & Embossing Machine with the Embossing Folder. It gives added texture and dimension to your card. I used the on-line exclusive 3D embossing folder (set of three!). Adhere with Multipurpose Glue or other adhesive to the Bubble Bath cardstock on the front and bottom pieces. Adhere the DSP to the front of the card.
Using the large Beautiful Balloon stamp, stamp with Bubble Bath ink onto the square Basic White piece. Then stamp over that with the confetti type stamp using Berry Burst ink. This is called two step stamping. Next, I used the matching die from the Beautiful Balloons dies and cut it with the Stampin Cut and Embossing Machine.
I used a small circle punch for the sentiment and stamped it with a stamp from Beautiful Balloons stamp set. With another small circle punch I had, I punched with Misty Moonlight to make a matte for the sentiment.
I adhered the balloon and sentiment to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up. I then stamped a string to the balloon from the stamp set using Misty Moonlight ink. I added a bow in Misty Moonlight and finished it with some rhinestones.
