Berry Botanical Balloons Card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on. I am sharing my first play with the gorgeous Berry Botanical Vellum, our June product of the month. I have used it with the Balloon Festoon stamp set and dies.

Colours used in this project are:

 

I created the Berry Botanical Balloons card using the following supplies:

Strawberry Slush card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞” on the short side
Misty Moonlight – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Strawberry Slush – 2” by 1½”
Misty Moonlight – 2½” by ½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Berry Botanical Vellum, Basic White, Strawberry Slush and Misty Moonlight

 

Using the So Swirly Embossing Folder I embossed the 2” by 1½” piece of Basic White card and adhered it to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Strawberry Slush card front.

I used the Balloon Festoon dies to die cut the second smallest balloon from the scrap of Berry Botanical Vellum. I die cut the same balloon from scrap Basic White card and adhered them together with a little Seal.

From scrap Misty Moonlight card, I die cut the pair of balloon strings and added them to the bottom of each balloon with a rolled up Mini Glue Dot. The large balloon was added to the card front on Dimensionals and tucked the smaller balloon under the right side.

The sentiment, from the Banner Sayings was stamped in Versamark ink on the strip of Misty Moonlight card. I covered it with White Embossing Folder and set it using a Heat Tool. I punched it out using the Three Banner Punch and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

Balloon Birthday Card

Today I am sharing a birthday card made using the Balloon Festoon stamp set and co-ordinating dies and the new 2026 – 2028 In Colors, all of which will be available from the 5th May in my online shop.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the balloon birthday card using the following supplies:

Crisp Cantaloupe card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Peaceful Pine – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 4¼” by 2½” for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

I began by stamping the group of stars stamp, randomly over the upper ⅔ of the panel of Basic White card measuring 5¼” by 3½” using 2nd generation Golden Glow ink. The stamped layer was then glued to the Peaceful Pine panel and then to the Crisp Cantaloupe card front.

I then die cut the stamped balloons using the Balloon Festoon Dies and placed them onto the stamped layer until I was happy with their position. I then moved them one at a time and stamped the balloon string with Secret Sea ink.
