This week’s Global Design Project is a theme challenge, all about balloons! I pulled out a stamp set from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog that I haven’t used in a while, and remembered why I love the balloons in this stamp set; they have tiny stars!

I began by stamping three, large, balloons in three colors of ink: Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, and Lemon Lime Twist, on Basic White Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″. Then, I stamped a tassel on each balloon, and backed the layer with Zoo Crew Designer Paper in a black & white pattern, 1/8″ larger.

Beautiful Balloons

Next, I used another pattern of Zoo Crew DSP and Foam Adhesive Sheets to create the word “YAY” with Mini Alphabet Dies. Rather than cutting the whole alphabet, I used just enough material to make three separate letters. 

After attaching “YAY,” I stamped “it’s your day” in Memento Black Ink. This sentiment is from the Warm Welcome Stamp Set, and don’t you like how it rhymes? 

To complete my birthday card, I attached the layer, with Dimensionals, to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

See how our designers used the “balloon” theme, then create your own design, and hang it in our gallery.
