It’s CASology’s fifth birthday, and they’re having a party! You can find the blog hop right here. The word for the week is “balloon.”
It was the perfect opportunity to get a birthday card ready for an upcoming birthday, and to use a combination of old, but loved, and brand new products. The “old, but loved” is Papertrey’s Balloon Bash set. This set is a fave for it’s birthday sentiments, but this time I pulled out the three balloons. The Balloon String dies (PTI) are also a favorite. The new product is Papertrey’s “Infinity Frames,” which was just released this month. When I purchased the die, I had lots of ideas, but ended up using them in a totally unexpected way to create a white on white background for the pretty balloons.
The sentiment from “Initial Sentiments: Birthday” (PTI) was embossed in white on black, cut out by hand, and popped up with dimensional tape. I chose the colors of the balloons from this week’s Color Throw Down Challenge. Although I’ve been aware of the challenge for awhile, this is the first time I’ve played along.
I used Raspberry Fizz, Bright Buttercup, and New Leaf inks to stamp the balloons before die cutting them. They seem to be a perfect match!
Another morning of steady rain here. It was a good day to stay inside and craft, so I’ll have more to share very soon.
Very effective – and a little different from your usual style?
Love the bright cheerful, happy colors! Perfect for the balloons and the sentiment. Sure to be treasured by the lucky recipient/s…Glad you are having the rain…always good to have some “down time.” Craft on!
Cheers~
Balloons just say birthday celebrations & It’s funny you should post this fantastic balloon card – I have been back & forth over the purchase of a balloon punch – you have convinced me this is a need in my supplies 🙂
Fun colors! The balloons pop ;)!
Love your CAS design. What a perfect way to combine the challenges! Thanks so much for playing along with us at the Color Throwdown this week!
What a fantastic birthday card. Love the balloons in those bright festive colors, and also how you used those infinity frames. I am definitely going to get those frames next time I order PTI. Thanks so much for playing along at our anniversary challenge at CASology.
Super cute card!
Love your multiple white on white background frames! Your balloons really pop against this textured background! So glad you played along with us at Color Throwdown!
Love the 3 balloons on the triple frame. Bright, happy and CAS! So happy you could join in the 5th Anniversary celebration at CASology.
Love the way the frames add interest & texture, but don’t distract from the bright pop of the balloons, Karen! Thankd for helping us celebrate our 5th Anniversary at CASology this week!
Really zingy colours – great for a grey rainy day? I like the white on white background with the frames too.
