Chicks From the Herd Balloon Easel Card

Hi there, Stampin' Friends! I have an adorable Chick card to share today.  I created it for a dear friend who fell recently during an ice storm and shattered her ankle.  Her injury required emergency surgery to put her ankle back together with plates, screws, and pins...Yes, plural of all of those three.  I am hoping that this will bring her a little cheer while she sits and heals.

If you look closely, I used the red metallic thread from Candy Cane Lane Baker's twine. (click on the photo to enlarge it)  I cut a length and pulled the red thread away from the white baker's twine and tied it around the 'knot' on the balloons.  I thought it added a fun touch with those crazy haired chicks.  I also rounded the corners of the Balloon Pop-Up thinlit as well as the Real Red card base.

And here is the card opened......

If you have questions, please ask!

Silver and Gold and Copper Shaker Birthday

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  I so enjoyed making the Shaker Card with my Gals!  I have made a few more and will share them in the near future.  Here is one using Silver, Gold, and Copper Foil Sheets and Copper embossing powder.
My original plan was to make a Shaker Mini Treat Bag.  However, when I went to put the treat bag together, the shaker part was too thick and my card stock cracked and split.  I still want to make one of those and might try again.  This is what came of my original plan that didn't work....

 I absolutely love the 'background designer paper'!!!  I used the 'confetti' stamp from the set Balloon Adventures.  I stamped it in versa mark and embossed with copper embossing powder.  It is so rich and elegant looking in real life!  The Happy Birthday (from Birthday Celebration) is also in copper embossing powder...as is the inside of the card, below.  I edged the entire white panel with versa mark and added the copper powder to that too.

If you have questions, please ask!

Cupcakes and Carousels Adventure

Hi there, Stampin' Friends! I have another balloon card to share with you.  It could be for a Birthday or Thinking of You.

This card comes together quickly when using the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits dies and the Balloon Bouquet punch!  Does the sentiment look familiar and you can't place where it came from?  It's from Hey, Chick.  I used the Stamp a ma jig to change the orientation of the stamp!

If you have questions, please ask!  Have A Happy Day!

Labeler Adventure

Hi there, Stampin' Friends! Today I have a sweet little card to share with you that I made for a sweet little lady....cause Happy does look so very good on her!

The Labeler Alphabet set is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! You can add any sentiment or thought that you are thinking to a card or project.  Balloons aren't just for birthdays.  They can brighten any day!  The balloons are vellum!  I stamped the balloon stamp with Delightful Dijon ink onto the vellum and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. They were punched out with the Balloon Bouquet punch.  I hand drew the smiles on the side that wasn't stamped.

Thanks for looking! Feel free to leave a comment and if you have questions, please ask!
