Spellbinders BetterPress Congratulations

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.

To create the card background, add a 5″ x 7″ panel of textured pin cardstock to a card base.

Add the assembled jar to the background. Fill with the assembled items. Embellish with enamel dots for additional texture.

- Step into a world of daisy-infused birthday delight! With intricate die cuts and heartfelt sentiments, our handmade card promises to add a touch of warmth and charm to any celebration. Let’s dive into the creative journey behind this exquisite creation!
