HAPPY BIRTHDAY BALLOONS CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I am a bit late for posting my Sketch Frenzy Friday card for this week.  Here it is without further ado:

I used the Balloon Dies to cut out the designer paper and backed it with whisper white.  The card base is bermuda bay and so is the ink. I put the speckles on the balloons with markers in the colors of bermuda bay, delightful dijon and rose red, and a sprayer.

Here was the sketch I worked from:

SIMON SAYS STAMP JUNE CARD KIT - THIRD CARD I MADE

HEY BLOGGIES,

I forgot to mention that a lot of these ideas for using the card kit came from the design team for SSS.  I love that they give us alternate ideas for using the supplies in the kit.  However, today this design is completely MINE.

The SUMMER paper was in the DSP pack and I cut it out to be square.    I LOVE these adorable resin FLIP FLOPS and knew I just HAD to use them on this card.  Remember, when you use items that add thickness to your card to add another stamp and put 'PLEASE HAND CANCEL' on the envelope.

 Here is a fun die cut balloon for the inside of the card.

The cute sunglasses is from the puffy stickers included in the kit.  This is a card that screams summertime to me.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  IF you have any questions, let me know.  I got the flip flops from Ebay.

SIMON SAYS STAMP - JUNE CARD KIT. ANOTHER CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another card today from the June Kit from SSS.  LOVING the stamps and the SMILE die.

 I used my SSS Balloons die to go along with the June Card Kit from SSS.  Also the scalloped rectangle die.

I used the patterned papers that came with the kit for the balloons.  Tangerine embossing powder was used on SMILE stamped image.  I used a star stencil, mini star nail sequins and star sequins, plus a clear button as the embellishments.  Also the small tag with the sentiment stamped in black.

Thanks for stopping by.  If you have any questions, let me know.  In the meantime, SMILE!!

INLAID DIE CUT BALLOONS BIRTHDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I made a very special birthday card for a very special girl for her 12th birthday.

 I used some fun new items I purchased on line.  These balloon die cuts are just the perfect shaped balloon I have seen.  I LOVE THEM.  I die cut them out, colored them with my sponge dauber and inks to blend, then added Wink of Stella on top before gluing them back into their negative image.

The stamp set included these fun balloon string sentiments to trail below the string.

 Here is a close up of the balloons and the pretty shine from the Wink of Stella.  Also, look how pretty these sequins are!!

One more look at the finished card.

Happy Birthday Lily!!
