Another Birthday with Balloon Adventures

You can never have enough birthday cards stashed, so here is another one. I like that this is quick and easy to make. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the balloons are made with red foil and silver foil paper. Other than that it's just Basic Black, Smokey Slate and Real Red ink.

Thanks for stopping by.

Balloon Adventures Birthday

All credit for the idea for this card goes to Christine Miller. I loved the bright, fun colours she used.

The colours used are Basic Black, Melon Mambo and, although it's hard to tell from the picture, Mint Macaron.

Balloon Adventures Baby

Thanks to Brigitte Keiling for the idea for this card. I believe hers is a birthday card, but when I saw the Pink Pirouette with gold I immediately thought of a congratulations card for a new baby. For a boy just switch out the colours to Soft Sky and Smokey Slate. I'm still having fun with shaker cards at the moment. Loving all the movement and interest they provide.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lift Me Up Birthday

For my final card this week I decided on a birthday card. I've decided that I'm going to revist something I did last year during the #imbringingbirthdaysback movement. Anyone who wants a handmade birthday card from me just needs to send me a message to cardiologydepartment@outlook.com and I would be happy to pop some happy mail in the post for you. It was loads of fun last year so I can't wait to do it again this year.

The idea for this card came from another SU! demonstrator, Carolyn King. Colours used are Night of Navy, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Old Olive, Smokey Slate and Soft Sky. Trees are from Lovely as a Tree.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lift Me Up Father's Day

For today's card, I decided to case right from the new Occasions catalogue. I love the simplicity and colours of this card and thought it would be great for Father's Day. I used the same background paper as yesterday's card.

Just a couple of colours today, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Crumb Cake. The background grid stamp is retired, but there is a similar one available in the Timeless Textures set. The Father's Day stamp is retired, but you could use the one in Guy Greetings.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lift Me Up Anniversary

This week I'll be making cards with the Lift Me Up bundle in the brand new Occasions catalogue. I love this fun stamp set and matching framelits. The best part is, if you buy them both as a bundle you will save 10% on the cost of buying them separately. I love me a discount!

When I received this set I couldn't wait to have a play with that large, intricate balloon die. While trying to figure out which background paper I wanted to use, I remembered the stacks of paper I still have from last year's Sale-A-Bration. Come on, admit it, there are more paper hoarders than just me out there! This one reminded me of the sky with vague clouds so I thought it would be perfect for what I had in mind.

The colours I used for the balloon were Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Tempting Turquoise, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight.

Thanks for stopping by.
