For today’s cards, the design team is showcasing the Uplifting Wishes stamp set with the Balloon Shaker die. Yay! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this shaker die. It is so much fun and what’s good about this is the Uplifting stamp set will fit inside the balloon shaker!
I started out by making my own clouds stencil using the Sky Borders die by Newton’s Nook. I inked up my Neenah Solar White card stock measuring 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 with my handmade stencil with Broken China distress oxide ink and my ink blending tool to create the sky. I also colored the hills with my Cracked Pistachio distress oxide ink. I used my copic marker to create the grass.
I stamped my bunny and butterflies images using the Bitty Bunnies stamp set and colored them in with my copic markers. I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.
I die-cut the colored background using the balloon shaker die. I colored my card base with my Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber distress oxide inks to create a colorful balloon.
On a piece of heat resistant acetate sheet, I stamped my sentiment using versamark ink and heat embossed it with my white embossing powder. I adhered the acetate sheet onto the die-cut piece to create my shaker balloon and added the butterflies and the hearts. I used the sparkling clear sequins as my shaker element. Here’s my card:
For my second card, I used the Llama from the Llama Delivery stamp set and die cut the image using the coordinating die. This Llama was released before the holidays last year but you can also use this set for a birthday card.
I wanted the balloon to be the focal point on this card. I inked up a piece of white card stock with my Tattered Rose distress oxide ink and die cut it with the balloon shaker die. I also die-cut different colors of card stock using the confetti die from this new set as my shaker element. This balloon shaker die set is so much fun and a must-have!
Here’s my second card. Isn’t she a cutie patootie with that big balloon? This card is so simple but I love how it turned out.
Which one is your favorite? I hope you got inspired today. I also listed and linked the supplies I used below. Have a wonderful day!
