Balloon Numbers Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! Welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog. I’m so happy you’re here! It’s Amanda here with you today! I have the perfect little card for a 12 year old and I’m going to tell you how I made it! I hope you’ll get inspired!

First, I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to 4”x5.25”. I stamped the Majestic Meadow background stamp with black ink. I also stamped a few clouds with black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the background and clouds. Next, I trimmed another piece of white cardstock to 4”x5.25” and ink blended Catherine Pooler’s Quartz ink on the entire panel.

To create the awesome balloons, I used the Balloon Numbers Stamps and Dies. To create the 3D balloon effect, I first stamped the numbers with Catherien Pooler Wintergreen ink. Then, I lightly and delicately applied Seafoam with a tiny blending brush on the outside of the number stamps. I applied a little more on the right side of each number.

The little bunny is stamped from the Balloon Numbers Stamps. The other accessories and birds are from the Foxy Friends Stamps.

Here are the Copic markers I used to color the stamped images:
Trees:  G40, G43, G46, E30, E31, E35, YG91, YG95, YG97, YG99, YG61, YG63, YG67, G20, G21, G24, E43, E44, E47
Flowers: R81, R83, R85
Grass & Bird: YG0000, YG00, YG91, YG93
Bunny, Bird & Flower Pot: E30, E31, R33, E35, E37, R21, T7
Wagon: E43, E44, R81, R83, R85

Once everything was colored and cut, I was able to start assembling the card!  First, I placed everything where I think I wanted it to go. Then, I stamped the “YOU’RE” and “TODAY” sentiments directly onto the pink background panel. I then, used 3D foam tape to prop up the background image and clouds. I adhered them to my pink panel.

Then, I poked holes through the balloon numbers so I could thread a string through them. I wrapped the other end of the strings around my bunny’s paw. I put 3D foam squares on the back of all my images and placed them on the front of the card. I applied 3D foam tape on my background panel and adhered it to a white A2 card base.

I love how sweet this card came out and I can’t wait to give it to my niece for her 12th birthday! I hope you enjoyed this card as well! I also hope you find some time to get crafty today! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspiration!
