Posted on May 23, 2026May 13, 2026 by Mo Rootes

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.

I die cut the smallest balloon from scrap Strawberry Slush card. Using Strawberry Slush ink, I randomly stamped the group of stars onto the die cut balloon.

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.

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a colour challenge. I have made my card using the pretty Garden Gatherings stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the multicoloured vases card using the following supplies:

Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Azure Afternoon – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 1¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst, Poppy Parade, Azure Afternoon & Garden Green

I used the Dotted Lines Masks, Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon ink to add a little texture to the background of the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card. The panel was then adhered to the Azure Afternoon layer and then to the Garden Green card front.

I die cut an arch from the 2½” by 1¼” piece of Basic White card. I stamped the sentiment with Azure Afternoon ink. I stamped each word individually, masking the other word one at a time. The arch was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
