Happy Hooray Balloons Birthday Card

Hello! Today, I’m excited to share a colorful balloon birthday card created with the Spellbinders BetterPress system. The Happy Hooray Balloons set includes mylar printed registration templates along with plates and banner dies. The registration template makes it possible to easily create a multi-color letterpress design. In addition to the mylar templates, you can also download the registration template (to be printed at home) HERE.

- With the registration template in place, press the balloons, letters, and strings with Tuscan, Strawberry, Hydrangea, and Black ink on an A-2 panel using the Happy Hooray Balloons set. (I removed one of the three shims.) Add to an A-2 card base.
- Separately, create the “Birthday” 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 silver glitter foam with a die in the Merry Mug Creations set.

Spellbinders Stitching Friendship

Hello! Today, I am sharing a friendship card featuring a jar holding a miscellany of needlecraft supplies – scissors, a floss card, floss skein, thimble, buttons, needles – created with the Spellbinders April 2024 Large Die of the Month Club Kit, “Pins & Needles Jar.” Create a card for a different occasion by simply changing the sentiment!

- To create the card background, dry-emboss a 5″ x 7″ panel with the Tiny Dots folder. Add to a card base with debossed side face up.
- Cut Large Die of the Month Club Kit pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and patterned paper. Assemble as required.
- Add the assembled jar to the background. Fill with the assembled items.
- BetterPress the Always and Forever sentiment with Cosmic Sky ink on Snowdrift cardstock. Cut with the coordinating die. Add to the card by “pinning” it into the jar cushion.

- Add an A2-size panel of Dot and Stripe patterned paper to card base.
