We had such a fun time looking at the beautiful wedding/anniversary/love card submissions for the last challenge and really appreciate our followers who play along with us. But, now we are on to the next challenge! This one is using all of the colors of the rainbow so have some fun with it! I couldn’t get the image of balloons out of my head when I saw the inspiration photo so that is exactly what I did. The Day of Celebration stamp set came out in the 2014 Annual Catalog and Balloon Builders debuted in the 2016 Occasions Catalog and just retired. The look of watercoloring on these bright balloons couldn’t be easier with this stamp set, which I sure appreciate!

 

It’s All in the Details
  • I pulled all of the ink colors that I wanted to use for the balloons and got them stamped and punched out with the convenient Balloon Bouquet Punch.
  • Then, I started choosing card base and layering colors with my cardstock. For some reason, I liked the muted colors better than the brighter ones, so Pear Pizzazz is the card base, followed by a layer of Perfect Plum topped with So Saffron, which was run through the Festive TIEF at an angle for an interesting touch.
  • The tag was stamped in Old Olive and cut out with the coordinating Chalk Talk Framelits. The Pacific Point banner was cut out with the Bunch of Banners framelit and layered behind the tag and adhered to the card base. Then, the balloons were added to the card base.
  • Finishing Touch: a bow was made from the Pear Pizzazz 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon and added to the tag.
  • This card was really fast and easy – my favorite kind – and exactly what a summer birthday needs!

Yes, it is time to give yourself a present! Why wait for the holidays to treat yourself?? I have started the process of cleaning and purging my craft room to make room for the new Annual Catalog stamp sets (and the Holiday Catalog is right around the corner) and need your help! You can go to the Retired Stamp Sale on my Facebook page (so much easier to show them to you there).  SPECIAL OFFER to my wonderful blog followers – Buy $50 or more of retired products and get a gift certificate for 50% of your order with an Holiday Catalog (HC) order coming out in September. For example, buy 5 stamp sets (in one or even multiple orders) and get a gift certificate for $25 towards an order you place with me once the HC goes live in September. Plus, the gift certificate will be good throughout the HC sales period. So, go on over and see what I have before they are gone! I might be adding more throughout the month so check back often!
