P retty birthday card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Berry Burst Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" of ombre pink diagonal stripes on white background design from Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" of ombre pink design from Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" of different shades of pink dots on white background design from Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 3" from Basic White Cardstock
Insert the large white rectangle into the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed white rectangle to the front of the Berry Burst card.
Unlock the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. One at a time, slide the pieces of Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper into the punch and punch out a hexagon from each pattern.
As you are ready to stamp using the Beautiful Balloons Set, place the cardstock or designer paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the large, solid balloon image from the Beautiful Balloons Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Bubble Bath Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the smaller white rectangle.
Mount the "so thrilled for you," "happy birthday," "yay you!," or "you did it!" sentiment from the Beautiful Balloons Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the stamped balloon image at a slight angle.
Pick out the large open balloon die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. Put it on top of the stamped balloon image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the three hexagon punch outs and the balloon cut out on the front of the card to figure out spacing and placement.
Once happy with the placement and layout, adhere the pieces in place one at a time. Use Stampin' Seal to adhere the hexagon punch outs. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the balloon cut out.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the bottom of the balloon cut out as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large and two small white sequins from a sheet of Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them in a rough triangle on the ombre hexagon punch out as shown.
