Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a mini slimline birthday card with the fun Balloon Alphabet stamps and dies! Since this release contains so many adorable critters, I decided to go for a sweet ‘cats and dogs’ celebration!
To start, I cut a white rectangle background panel to the size of a mini slimline and divided it in two parts with some post-it tape. The sky portion was inked with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry and a cloud stencil I pulled from my stash. For the ground, I used a light brown ink to which I added details and shading with my Copics. After gluing this piece to a pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones), I mounted everything to a white card base.
All the images were selected from Cat Antics and Party Pets, two sets that work so well together! I colored them with Copic markers in neutral
tones since I really wanted the sentiment to shine.
Then it was time to select the letters to spell the word ‘Congrats’ from the Balloon Alphabet stamps and dies set. I used 4 different colors of Memento dye inks for all the stamping. To save time, I kept the dies connected and die cut all the letters at once, I just store the ones I didn’t use for a later project!
I took my time to figure out the placement of letters and critters before I adhered them with foam tape. Lastly, I drew the balloon strings with a black pen. As a final embellishment, I added a few White Diamond Jewels.
