Bold Balloons Pink & Yellow Heart Balloons Birthday Card with Eloise

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I'll be using the Bold Balloons stamp set to create a birthday card that is super fast to make and also easy to replicate.

To begin my card today I first stamped out the heart balloon from Bold Balloons using two colours of pink and a yellow onto a separate piece of paper. I used three shades of each colour and layered them up accordingly. I started off with the outside line layer first and worked backwards for this particular stamp as it was easier for me this way. Once they were all stamped, I die cut them out using the coordinating dies. I set them off to the side and moved on to the next step.

I cut down a piece of cream cardstock that has natural flecks in it just for a little interest. Then I used the large Celebrate word that comes in the set and stamped it on the bottom right hand side of the cardstock in black ink. I also used the additional 'Your Day' sentiment underneath it. I then laid over my balloons where I wanted them hovering over the sentiment and stamped the balloon strings accordingly, making sure they connected to the sentiment. I then popped up my balloons on foam tape and adhered them on top of the strings. Lastly, I cut down a piece of grey patterned paper that had stars on it and adhered to a card base. Then using more foam tape I adhered the entire panel onto the other side of my card base.

That finishes up my simple birthday card, I hope you enjoyed and were inspired to create a fast birthday card.

Before I go, I just wanted to remind you about a sale that is going through tonight at midnight PST.  You can get this set and more for 20% off using the promo code SPRINGBREAK at checkout.  ;)

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Akesdotter

Hi everyone! It's Karin Akesdotter here from Peppermintpatty's Papercraft. I'm so excited to share a new card that I've created with Sunny Studio Stamp's spring 2018 release!

I made a panel by layering striped and polka dot paper. I also added a lacy edged die cut using the Stitched Scallop dies. I die cut the Wishes Word die from white cardstock and adhered a few layers of that to create dimension.

I then stamped, colored and die cut the adorable ballerinas and some sweet roses before adhering them to the card with foam adhesive and adhesive tape. Finally I made a card base and adhered the panel to it with foam adhesive.

For this card I matted a white card base with green polka dot patterned paper and then die cut a panel from Neenah solar white cardstock. I stamped my cats and then masked them so I could ink the background.

When I was done inking I spattered the background before I removed the masking. I used Copics for the coloring and then added some adhesive dots. I adhered the panel to the card using foam adhesive.

I then stamped, colored and fuzzy cut the adorable ballerina, two pairs of ballerina shoes and some sweet roses before adhering them to the card with foam adhesive and adhesive tape. Finally I made a card base and adhered the panel to it with foam adhesive.
