Balloon Celebration Dandelion

Posted on by

How many of you have the stamp set called Balloon Celebration?  This set has been around for a while so I am sure there are a lot of you out there.  Did you ever notice that there were two little flowers included in this set?  You may have wondered what are for.  Well, you can make a dandelion out of them!  I do have a do a disclaimer here.  I saw a card that looked totally different than mine but used the dandelion on it so it is not my original idea.  I don’t know who came up with it but I thought it was adorable and decided to CASE (copy and share everything) it.  CASEing is ok in the stamp world.  It is even encouraged.  You just need to give credit where credit is due is you know where it came from.

The sentiment on this card is from one of the new stamp sets that you can earn for free with a qualifying order.  It is called Eclectic Expressions and became available on February 16th.  The rest of the set looks like this:

Remember, Sale-a-bration ends March 31st so make an order through my web site and choose this set or any of the other available sets for free!  You can also get an extra $25 in Hostess Benefits with a $250 workshop (or order)! Join my Stampin Up! family and get a $125 worth of product for $99 PLUS your choice of TWO FREE STAMP SETS (an added value of up to $101)!!

Baby Bear, Stampin Up

This is one of the cards we made at our monthly stamp club meeting earlier in the summer.  I don’t know why I didn’t post it previous to this but I guess it doesn’t really matter.  This stamp set is called Baby Bear and is in the 2016 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  It is a 3-step stamp set which is why the bear looks so life like.  First you stamp the background color in the lightest color.  We used Crumb Cake.  Then you stamp over that with the 2nd stamp in the series (we used Soft Suede) and last of all, you stamp the third color over it all (we used Early Espresso).  It really give it a nice 3D look and it is very easy to line up.

I am saving this card to send to Madelyn.  It is a perfect card for a sweet, little girl.  Here is a picture of her in pigtails.  She is growing up way too fast!

Balloon Celebration

Today is the birthday of a friend of mine, Char.  Char and I have been friends for a long time and have a lot of good memories together.  We met because she was looking for someone to take care of her children and I was looking for a way to stay home with mine and make a bit of money.  It was a perfect match.  Even though her youngest child is now 32, we have remained friends all this time.

As I am writing this post I just realized that I used retired Designer Series Paper to make this card.  Sometimes I forget what has retired and what has not.  I decided to post it anyway because you could just substitute another Designer Series Paper to make this card.

It uses a stamp set called Balloon Celebrations and of course, has a matching balloon punch called Balloon Bouquet.  As you know, I love balloons and I love punches so it was a perfect set for me!  The sentiment is from a Paper Pumpkin kit.  That is one of the awesome things about Paper Pumpkin.  The kit may be used up but you will always have the stamps to use!

Happy Birthday, Char.  I hope your day is amazing!

A Stamp Off Balloon Challenge

Stamp Off New Logo

It is that time again for another Stamp Off Challenge.  This time BS & J Productions (sounds so official, doesn’t it?) decided to do a balloon challenge.

balloon challenge

We all know how much I love balloons so it wasn’t that hard to come up with something.  Here is my card:

Balloon Celebration

I used a new set from the 2016 Occasions Catalog called Balloon Celebrations.  I love this set because not only does it have balloons it has the cutest balloon strings, great sentiments and a bunch of other fun stamps.  There are 28 stamps in all.  I mean who doesn’t love the stamp that says “Come, let us drink together”?

Of course, another great thing about this set is it has a matching punch called Balloon Bouquet Punch.  You can save 15% by buying both in a bundle!

The banner was stamped and cut out using the Number of Years Bundle which is also in the 2016 Occasions Catalog.  If you don’t have that bundle you need to.  It is the most popular bundle Stampin’ Up! sells.

Now let’s go see what awesome projects Buffy and Jackie made for this challenge.  We don’t share our creations ahead of time so it will be a surprise for me too!  Click HERE for Buffy’s blog and HERE for Jackie’s blog!

Happy Birthday Balloons

Posted on by

Balloon Celebration, Balloon Bouquet Punch

Balloons, balloons and more balloons.  Balloons are everywhere in the 2016 Occasions Catalog.  This makes me very happy!  I have been a demonstrator since 2008 and I have been waiting a long time for a balloon punch!  This is a warning.  Expect a lot of balloon cards from me.  I just hope they don’t retire at the end of this catalog.  By the way, I made this balloon card for my friend, Judy.  Her birthday is today.  Happy Birthday, Judy!

The matching stamp set that goes with the Balloon Bouquet Punch is called Balloon Celebration.  You can save 15% by buying both.  In addition to that stamp set, there is another set in the Occasions Catalog called Balloon Builders that also matches the Punch.  If you like balloon animals, or maybe if you are a mime, you will love the Balloon Builders Punch.

The Designer Series Paper I used is called It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack.  This is a very large pack of Designer Series Paper.  It has 48 sheets in it instead of the usual 12 sheets.  It has nice bright colors in it such as Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo but also has some soft colors such as Mint Macaron and Sahara Sand.
