Hello! Today, I’m excited to share a colorful balloon congratulations card created with the Spellbinders BetterPress Happy Hooray Balloons set. I previously shared a birthday card with the same set HERE. The set includes mylar printed registration templates, along with plates and banner dies, making it easy to create a multi-color letterpress design. You can also download the registration template (to be printed at home) HERE.

- With the registration template in place, press the balloons and strings with Tiger, Taffy, Azure, and Black ink on an A-2 panel using the Happy Hooray Balloons set. (I used two shims for the balloons and one shim for the strings.) Add the pressed panel to an A-2 card base.
- Separately, press the “Congratulations” sentiment portion in Black ink and cut with the banner die in the Happy Hooray Balloons set. Add to the card with foam adhesive.
- Embellish with stars cut from white glitter foam with dies in the Merry Mug Creations and Gnome Drive Holiday sets. I have a number of sets which include star dies that I regularly grab to create embellishments.
Love that touch of foam stars. Great card!
The glittery foam stars add the perfect touches to your balloon bouquet, Jean!!
The better press is cool, love the strong inks.
