Balloon Filled Birthday Card by Farhana Sarker

Happy Birthday!

Today we are sharing a fun clean and simple birthday card by Farhana. For this card she features our Bokeh Balloons Stencil Set and our Happy Birthday Die Set.

She began by creating a balloon filled background by using our Bokeh Balloons Stencil Set with pink, purple and teal distress inks. This stencil has two pieces that you can use to create a layered pattern and she used both pieces on this card. Using both pieces creates a fun effect where it looks like the balloons are overlapping each other.

For the birthday message she used our Happy Birthday Die Set. Each word in this die set has two pieces that layer together. She cut the words out using the blue glitter paper from our Cheerful Brights Glitter Assortment Paper Pack and cut out the shadow layers behind the words using vellum paper. 

What a beautiful birthday card! And, best of all, it's super simple to make! Perfect for a last minute birthday wish!

Happy PURR-thday Card by Samantha Mann

PURR-thday Wishes! 

Any cat lover would be thrilled to receive this adorable kitty themed birthday card by Samantha!

This sweet card features two kitty images from our Newton's Birthday Bash Stamp Set. Samantha colored both of the kitties in neutral browns and with fun fur patterns. Then she used tones of pink to color the gift boxes, balloon and party hats for a birthday card that's pretty in pink!

For her card base she used our two layer Bokeh Balloons Stencil Set to make a background that is jam packed with pink balloons. She added the kitties in front of the balloons and then added the sentiment "Happy PURR-thday!" from the Heartfelt Meows Stamp Set, embossing it onto a vellum banner that was die cut using our Banner Trio Die Set. 

What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, especially for a recipient who loves kitties, pink, or both!!

Balloon Filled Birthday Card by Zsofia Molnar

Balloon Filled Birthday! 

Balloons are perfect for celebrating special birthdays! Today we have a birthday card by Zsofia that is filled with balloons in a rainbow of bright celebratory colors! 

To create this gorgeous card she started with a panel of light gray cardstock and stenciled balloons onto it in several colors using our two piece Bokeh Balloon Stencil Set. The two layers of the stencil let you easily align and overlap the balloons for a fun colorful effect! After the panel was finished she cut it out using our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it the pretty scalloped edge. 

To cut out the big balloon in the center, Zsofia used our Balloon Shaker Die Set. She also added the bow and string image, cut out with the same set. For the message she combined several sentiments from the Birthday Oval Stamp Set and stamped them stacked onto the ballon! So fun! 

This fabulous card is filled with a ton of texture too! Here is a close up so you can see all the water and pant splatters she added. What a fun detail!

We hope you enjoyed this birthday creation today and are inspired to create some balloon filled birthday cards of your own!

Birthday Mice Card by Maria Russell

Birthday Wishes!

Today Maria is sharing an adorable birthday card that is twice as MICE! 

To create this sweet birthday wish, she used the image of the mice sharing a cupcake from our new Birthday Mice Stamp Set. Aren't those two mouse friends so cute peeking around the cupcake at each other? She colored the cupcake a fun bight blue complete with a rainbow candle. She also colored two extra birthday hats and a tiny gift from the same set, cutting everything out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set. 

For her card she started with a white card base and added strips of patterned paper featuring teal and orange party hats from our Birthday Party Paper Pad, overlapping them for a fun card layout! She also balloons to one corner using our new Bokeh Balloons Stencil Set with glittery paste. 

The finishing touch is the sentiment "Birthday Wishes" which was stamped from our Birthday Oval Stamp Set. She colored the letters in "wishes" in run rainbow colors to match the candle! So cute!
