Balloon Numbers Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and as soon as I saw the Balloon Numbers stamp and die set, I knew I wanted to make a fairytale card for a sweet little girl that will be celebrating her third birthday this month! She loves all kinds of animals and that became the theme of this project.

To start, I die cut a panel from white card stock with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I created a ‘wood’ look by dry embossing this piece with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. Next, I turned this panel into a frame by using the second largest die from Stitched Ovals 2. I kept the inside oval for another project and selected a teal striped background from the Striped Silly pack. I love how this instantly gives you a bold backdrop.

Then it was time to browse through my stamps, selecting all the elements I wanted for my birthday scene. I went with a sweet fairy (Garden Fairy), several cute Garden Critters, two adorable birds with branch (A Bird’s Life), a darling duck (Puddle Jumpers), and the all-important cake (Make A Wish) and number 3 from the Balloon Numbers stamp and die set!

All the coloring was done with my trusty Copic markers and white gel pen details made the images pop even more.

To assemble the card, I glued the tree to the back of the wooden frame before adhering the striped panel. Next, I placed the cake at the bottom of the frame and added critters to the left and right. The sweet fairy is flying through the sky, holding the balloon number with a little piece of pink thread from my sewing box. Lastly, I positioned the two birdies near the branch. This whole scene was glued to a white card base. No need for a sentiment since ‘the birthday party with the pink 3’ was our centerpiece! Adding a few Champagne clear Jewels finishes this sweet project. 

I can’t wait to see all these balloon numbers featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Balloon Alphabet Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this rainbow themed friendship card featuring a mix & match of images from different sets. Since St Patrick's Day is round the corner, I wanted to create a lucky card with rainbow colors, and the Balloon Alphabet was the perfect fit to make the sentiment.

I started off by cutting a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock to create a colorful cloudy rainbow sky using a cloud stencil from my stash along with oxide inks: spun sugar + worn lipstick, dried marigold + spiced marmalade, squeezed lemonade + mustard seed, shabby shutters + mowed lawn, and tumbled glass + broken china. I splattered water all over my panel and dried it with a paper towel. Next I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my panel, and then I did the same with black soot oxide ink for contrast and with fossilized amber distress spritz for gold sparkles. Once my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Polka Dot Parade blue paper using 1mm foam tape, and then to a white card base using liquid glue.

Next I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Garden Fairy - fairies • Little Birdie - birds, birdhouses, branches • Chubby Bunny + Chickie Baby - flowers • Tulip Path Background - butterflies.

For my greeting, I stamped the word "Lucky" on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using the Balloon Alphabet along with Lawn Fawn premium dye inks, from left to right: peachy keen, carrot, sunflower, cilantro and kiddie pool. For this particular project, I wanted those letters to be real letters and not balloons, so before stamping them, I masked the balloon details with washi tape, and after die cutting the letters, I just trimmed off the excess of paper below each letter with scissors. I love the white highlights on the letters and the rounded shape is super cute! I stuck everything, images and the word "Lucky", on my rainbow panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and stamped "To have you as my friend" from Clucky Chickens right below "Lucky" to complete my greeting.

To finish my card, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the fairies wings to make them super shiny. And that's it! I really love how everything coordinates so nicely, the greeting, the birdhouses and the cloudy sky, it's lovely! 

I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
