Birthday Bonanza Balloons

Hello Everyone ~ here is a cute Birthday Bonanza Balloons card idea for you!

Well yesterday morning was very interesting.  As most of the south was under a severe weather threat it meant we would be inside for the morning.  I took all my loose items outside ~ grill, porch decorations, whirlygig, etc. ~ and put them in the garage.  Did not want to take any chances we would have a tornado and them blow all over the neighborhood.  Last night I started working on my taxes.  It has been several years since I did them myself and I was struggling.  I am waiting to see if I can itemize or take the standard deduction.  I am hoping I can itemize but we’ll see.  This has been a real learning experience for me!

At Hand Stamped Sentiments Paper Crafting Challenges we have an inspiration challenge this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first thing I saw on this poster was all the balloons.  I immediately thought of the Birthday Bonanza suite in the Occasions catalog.  It has some fun papers in the designer series paper collection.   I pulled out the one that has all the balloons on it to use for my card.  I found a fun sketch online that I knew would be perfect to use.  I began by embossing the card front using the Subtle embossing folder.  I then chose 2 patterns from the Birthday Bonanza designer series paper and mounted each onto a coordinating card stock.  These were then then layered onto the card front.  The sentiment was stamped using Bermuda Bay and mounted onto a piece of the same color card stock.  This square was added to the card front using dimensionals.  Here is my quick and easy Birthday Bonanza Balloons creation.

The Birthday Bonanza Suite has some great designer series paper in the collection. Check out this simple Birthday Bonanza Balloons card I created using some of that paper.

A stencil was created using the balloon punch and then they were sponged. See the designer series paper that was used on the card front for the Birthday Bonanza Balloons card.

Thanks for visiting me today and I hope I inspired you.  I am hoping to finish up my taxes today so I know how much I have to pay.  I am crossing my fingers it is not too much.  Then I may play in my studio to work on a couple of projects.  Have a Terrific Tuesday and  wasn’t the Birthday Bonanza Balloons card a cute idea?
