Rainbow Balloon Birthday Card

In the realm of crafting, sometimes less is more. Today, I’m excited to share a CAS birthday card that embodies the beauty of simplicity while packing a punch of joy and color. Following Christmas cards, birthday cards are the type I send most frequently.

Rainbow Balloon Birthday Card

    • Using the Lawn Fawn Balloons stencil, add balloons and strings on to white cardstock. (Inks used: Distress Wilted Violet, Memento Love Letter, Memento Tangelo, Memento Dandelion, Distress Salty Ocean).
    • Cut panel with A2-size stitched rectangle die. Add to card base.
    • Cut white glitter foam with Cole’s ABCs to create the sentiment. Add letters to the panel. Embellish with stars cut from white glitter foam. (I used star dies in the Build-A-Barn and Forest Backdrop sets.)

In this post, I shared a collection of birthday cards that I’ve crafted over the years.

Hello! I’m thrilled to share a project that blooms with color – a birthday card featuring the beautiful Spellbinders die set Tulip Trio, designed by the talented Simon Hurley. The set contains dies to create three different tulip blooms, along with stems and leaves. I paired the die-cut blooms with a heartfelt sentiment and an eye-catching stenciled background.
