Party Balloons + Video

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I was inspired by some birthday patterned paper I had in my crafty stash to make colorful balloons on a birthday card!

I started with die cutting the Pierced Stars Plate Die from a piece of confetti patterned paper to be the background of the card. Then I cut out different pieces from the Party Balloons Dies to make six different balloons – the traditional and star balloons. I layered different pieces together to create a striped, star balloon and a balloon with star details. There are also balloons cut from holographic paper to create the look of mylar balloons!

Once the balloons were ready, I also had the balloon strings from the Party Balloons Dies in a dark blue cardstock, I layered them with liquid glue and foam adhesive in 1mm and 2mm thicknesses on to the Pierced Stars background.

My sentiment is stamped from the Birthday Train Stamp Set to create “Hooray It’s Your Day”. I stamped “Hooray” on white cardstock in blue ink and used the Birthday Train Coordinating Die to cut it out. “It’s Your Day” is stamped in the same blue ink on cardstock cut into a banner from the Sentiment Strips Dies.

I added the sentiments to the card, under the balloons, with foam adhesive to finish the card! I hope you enjoyed today’s process video for a fun and relatively quick and easy party card.
