Beautiful Balloons Happy Birthday Card

Beautiful Balloons Card Class, Card 2

Beautiful Balloons Happy Birthday Card

My Weekly Card Class From ME happens to showcase a pretty awesome feature: celebrations! Our focus this week is the Beautiful Balloons Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. Need more info on this class? Click here.

Perhaps the most common type of card we make is a birthday card. If you need a celebratory card, you may need a balloon or two. And the Beautiful Balloons Bundle is just the thing to help you make the happiest kinds of birthday cards!

More Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper

Just like in the first card from this class, Beautiful Balloons Yay You, I chose a selection of designer series paper from the Bright & Beautiful paper pack.

Unlike my first card, this time I chose a softer, more mono-tone pattern. I just love that you can choose Bright & bold looks, or Beautiful muted styles. This 6 x 6″ paper pack is just amazing like this!

Berry Burst & Bubble Bath

When Stampin’ Up! completed their color refresh with the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, they brought back the 2017-2019 In Color, Berry Burst.

FUN FACT: I shared a peek at my old Berry Burst ink pad, the classic bulky-style kind, before the modern one we know and love now. You can see this and more in my video replay from this class.

For my Beautiful Balloons Happy Birthday Card, I paired the (old) Berry Burst with the (new) Bubble Bath. These bright pink tones work perfectly together! Love the new Bubble Bath color? Click here to see another birthday card made in that pretty shade of pink.

Who Wore It Better: The Color Swap

Every Wednesday on the Positive PaperCrafters FaceBook Page, we play a game called “Who Wore It Better?”. I take one of my card class cards and switch up the colors I used. This week, I chose to swap out Berry Burst and Bubble Bath for Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly!

I enjoy playing with color (a lot!). And this is a great way to share more inspiration in cardmaking. Just because you see a card picture in any given color, doesn’t mean you have to make it in that color when you create your own version.

Tell me who wore it better and let your own creativity flow…in any color you love!
