Washi balloons - two cool  

This cheerful birthday card is perfect for any age birthday!  Those balloons are so adorable, don't you think?!

CASEd from Ronda Wade at My Stamping Best Friend.

The first card is an exact CASE of a card created by Ronda Wade.  It was so cute, I HAD to make it, and you'll love making it, too!  It's so fun and easy!

Backgrond Basics—The card starts with a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Crushed Curry card stock that's embossed with the Decorative Dots Folder and layered on a 3-3/4" x 5" Whisper White mat. 

Before adhering the background to the Coastal Cabana card base, I wrapped a piece of White Baker's Twine around the bottom edge and adhered it with SNAIL to the middle of the card to represent the balloon string.  Now, we're ready to make the balloon…

Washi Tape Balloon—The balloon is decorated with the pretty new Beach House Washi Tape.  It's super easy to duplicate:

  • Lay different colors of washi tape side-by-side on a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock.
  • Punch a circle shape out of the washi tape background with the 2-1/2" Circle Punch.
  • Punch a large flower from Whisper White card stock with the Boho Blossoms Punch and adhere behind the washi tape circle to create the "tie" of the balloon.
  • Adhere a White Baker's Twine bow to the "tie" of the balloon with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.
  • Pop up the balloon with some Dimensionals.

Ronda Wade has a video tutorial to show you exactly how to create this Washi Tape Balloon Card.

Sweet Sentiment—The birthday greeting is from the So Very Happy set.  I stamped it in Momento Black Ink onto Whisper White card stock, then colored in the letters with a Real Red Marker.  It's punched with the Oval Punch and layered onto a Coastal Cabana Scallop Oval Punch.

I thought it would be fun to make different size balloons for my second card, so I cut those with the Circle Collection Framelits.  I angled the balloon strings to make them appear to be tied together.

I also tried the new Zig Zag Texture Impressions Folder for the background, because you can see the same pattern on one of the Beach House Washi Tapes.  It's all about coordination, baby!
