How is everyone today? Are you in the mood for a party? I’ve been wanting to use the sentiment, “Cue the Confetti,” from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set, and this is the perfect opportunity. It goes so well with the new birthday bundle, Blow Out the Candles. Never let it be said that I receive new products that are unused. I can’t get them into action fast enough!

Cue the confetti

I love the confetti die from the Candles and Confetti die set, which fits just right on the 4″X 5 1/4″ Whisper White cardstock layer. I thought about adding a different color for the cut-out holes, but decided to let the Bermuda Bay card base show through.

Aren’t the floating balloons pretty? The shades of blue and green remind me of Lake Tahoe, especially Emerald Bay. To achieve the effect, I colored Vellum cardstock with Stampin’ Write markers, in swatches just large enough to accommodate the balloon die.

TIP: I die cut the balloons with the colored side down, so they would have a softer look.

Five of the balloons are attached with Glue Dots, and two with Mini-Dimensionals. The glue shows a bit with close inspection, but I think it’s worth it for the balloons to be translucent.

The inside of the card has “Happy Birthday” from the Blow Out the Candles stamp set, as well as a balloon on a string. I used Lemon Lime Twist for the balloon, and Shaded Spruce for “Happy Birthday.”

The inspiration for my layout is from this week’s CAS(E) this sketch. See how my balloons and confetti conform to the sketch, upside down?

With this striped envelope flap, my birthday card is ready to send.

Thanks for partying with me! Keep on scrolling to shop at my store.
