Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month we’re celebrating our Favorites from the Catalog—the stamps, dies, papers, and embellishments we can’t stop reaching for! Whether you’re adding to your wish list or looking for a fresh idea to create with supplies you already own, we hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration along the way.

Everyone needs birthday cards, and you need to add the Balloon Festoon Bundle to your stash! It’s a favorite, for sure! You’ll have fun making small to giant balloons with perfect greetings to match. I began with the third largest balloon, cut from Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Paper. Next, I stamped the balloon with “Happy Birthday,” from the Balloon Festoon Stamp Set, in Lost Lagoon Ink. Then, I added “highlights to the balloon, cut with a Balloon Festoon Die, from Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Paper.

Balloon Festoon

The background is a multi-colored pattern of Ordinary Life Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/2″, glued to a Pretty Peacock card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Don’t you love it? Prior to gluing, I decorated the right edge with a Bordered In Beauty Die, making a fleur de lis pattern. This die set is part of the Ordinary Beautiful Life Suite.

After attaching the balloon with Dimensionals, I glued a paper string, cut with a Balloon Festoon Die, from Pretty Peacock Cardstock. Such a “quick & easy” birthday card!
