Fluttering by to say hi butterfly edged fun fold card

 My featured product this week is the Bordered in Beauty bundle by Stampin' Up!  I love how many dies you get and how much die coordination is between the stamps and dies!  I was pleasantly surprised on just how versatile that makes this bundle.

Thinking of You with Berry Botanical Vellum

Today's project combines the May 2026 product of the month Berry Botanical Vellum with one of the new bundles from the May-August 2026 catalog.  I do love how easily this one came together.   I was a little hesitant to order the vellum dsp this month as I generally have a hard time using it.  Once I sat down to work with it, it was pretty easy to use and the ideas just seem to flow.  I intended to just make one for today, but I ended up making two just to give all of you some ideas on how to put some cards together with it pretty quickly and without much added to it.  To watch the YouTube video tutorial on how to put this card together, click this link.

Balloon Festoon Shaped Birthday card

 The first card I thought to make with the new Balloon Festoon card was a shaped birthday card.  I used the second largest of the balloon dies to make my card base.  I tried the largest balloon die but it wouldn't have fit into a standard medium size envelope, so I opted for the second largest size.  The finished card size is approximately 3 3/4" x 5".  I combined some images from the Words & Wishes stamp set to finish the overall design.  If you are in a hurry, you could easily stamp a sentiment, make the balloon card and call it good.  It would still be cute and unique with whatever pattern paper you used.  To see how I made my card, watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.  After I finished the video, I did go back and add a baker's twine bow to the neck as I thought it would look a little more finished.  I love the difference it made, and you can see that in the photos below.  




Supplies and measurements:
Balloon Festoon bundle* 167606 (includes stamps & dies)
Words & Wishes bundle* 167897 (includes stamps & dies)
Sunset Sparkle Sequins 167785
Baker's Twine Essential Pack 155475 (white)
Basic White cardstock 4 1/4" x 11", scored in the center at 5 1/2"
Basic White cardstock to cut 2nd & 3rd largest balloon die (both pieces are optional), & image/sentiment label
Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP
    4" x 6" approx. (cut 2nd largest balloon, balloon shine & gifts.
Ink Pads: Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Read, Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon
Stampin' Blends alcohol markers: Pool Party, Lt Smoky Slate
Wink of Stella glitter brush 141897

I hope you love this card as much as I do.  While this shaped card is unique, it's quick and simple to make.  I hope you give it a try.  Birthday cards are my most used cards and kids of all ages would love to receive this one I think.  

All of these items are now available to customers and can be purchased in my online store by clicking on the shopping cart to the right.  Thanks in advance for supporting my small business.  I appreciate you more than you know.

Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!
