CCMC Saturday Blog Hop – Birthday Celebrations

January 14, 2017 By Connie | 1 Comment

The theme this week for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop is Birthday Celebrations! I JUST got my Balloon Adventures stamp set and Balloon Pop-Up Thinlets in my order, so had to try them out! I must admit…I didn’t know what several of the Thinlets were supposed to do, so had to look it up online. Was SO glad I did because I got to make this card!

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
At the bottom of the front a 3/4 x 4-1/4 strip of striped Party Animal Designer Paper was added.
The 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Party Animal polka dot DSP was added to a layer of 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 Pacific Point cardstock, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
2 x 4 and 2 x 3-1/2 pieces of Pacific Point and Crushed Curry with the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlets and then bows cut with the Thinlet from Tangerine Tango and Emerald Envy cardstock.
The “presents” were embossed with the Festive Embossing Folder and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Metallic Enamel Circles were added to the bows.
The banner from Balloon Adventures stamp set was stamped with Tangerine Tango and the greeting with Emerald Envy, handcut and added to the front with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 21 years and just had my 20th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
