Balloon Birthday Bouquet

Sorry I’ve been MIA, I have had a crazy month. But I am pretty excited to share this card. When I originally saw this card from Sandy Diller I knew I just had to give it a go. Sandy made it as a mini slimline card but I wanted to go bigger. If you check out Sandy’s card she has a great video and she explains how to alter the mechanism used so it would fit in a mini slimline. I didn’t have to alter the shape like she did because I made my card 6” x 6”. Both cards have a great balloon surprise when you open the card.

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

Hey everyone I actually have a mid week post the week, welllll sort of. I was going through my photos of cards I made last year and I found this one. The only problem is is that I either didn’t take photos or I already deleted them. But I have the details from another card that I made at the same time that I did post last year. Exact same measurements exact same technique just different colours. So I thought I would share this pretty pink and red one today and I am linking to the directions from the one from last year if you want to know all of the dies that I’ve used and the measurements and how I cut and assembled. Here is the LINK to last years card.

The cardstock is all from Stampin Up and the colours are either Real Red or Ridinghood Red, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Garden Green, Crumb Cake, and possibly Creamy Caramel.

The diesets used are the Woven Basket box card Pop up and the Flower Pot pop up die set, both from Karen Burniston.

Pushing up Daisies (in a good way)

Quick side note-Wordpress has changed some of their editing and formatting, and I’m still trying to figure it out, I can’t edit my links so there may not be as many of them. Also apologies over the overall look, there are spaces where there shouldn’t be and alignment is way off , not lovin the update, I had A LOT of difficulties tonight. Anyway, on with the show ….

This card was as fun to make as it was frustrating, if you read through you will see how even if you make mistakes along the way (and I made a few with this one) it is still possible to have a really great card in the end, just fix your mistake and move on to the next step. This card wouldn’t have been possible without this amazing video tutorial https://youtu.be/lvbe8unPQZE from Laura Dovalo https://www.youtube.com/user/ladovalo/videos. I recommend watching her video if you plan on making this card as it is a little tricky, but great interactive card at the end.
