Hello Crafters!
I have just received my new order of stamps and dies and couldn't wait to get a few cards done with them and go the opportunity to put them to use over the weekend. The stamp set is Celebrate Today sold by Stampin' Up along with the matching coordinating die set. It is a fantastic set and very versatile. The cards I chose to make were based on a shaker card design so the balloon is backed with gold with a layer of acetate over it to keep the sequins inside it. This is a 4x4 card and has a background border of scalloped edges in the same gold as the balloon. The bunting is stamped in yellow and die cut and adhered to the card with 3d foam pads and the look is completed with the stamped name of the recipient.
I then went on to adapt the design and added my lovely monkey stamp in a circle and punched a hole in it to thread some yellow ribbon through. This card was for a 1 year old and so the number 1 is being held by the monkey. A unique take on a 1st birthday card.
