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.

Fluffiest Friends Sending Love birthday mail box card

 Here we are with another month gone by and what a beautifully sunny April day we had here in Oregon over the Easter weekend.  I was inspired to make my card using the Sending Love stamp/die bundle which is this week's featured bundle.  As I did last week, I will also be using some items that will be retiring by the end of the month.  If you want these items, I would order them sooner, rather than later as all retiring items are while supplies last.  Sending Love is not retiring; however, it will no longer be offered at the bundle price when the new Stampin' Up! catalog launches on May 1.  To see how I've put this very pretty birthday card together, be sure to watch the video replay over on YouTube.

Celebrate and Share A Milkshake with a Friendly Gnome

 For my second card using the Share a Milkshake bundle I couldn't resist throwing in the Friendly Gnomes stamp set to go along.  I've actually made this card with my grandson's birthday in mind.  It's on March 18, so I decided a Granny Apple Green along with Balmy Blue would be perfect for him as these are his two favorite colors and definitely goes along with a little St. Patrick's Day vibe.  I do love how it turned out.  I'm sure he will love it.  To watch how I put this card together, check out my YouTube channel for the replay HERE:
