Double D Balloons

Our challenge at Double D Challenge Blog is all about balloons.




I needed a birthday card so I made this fun pop-up box card using  balloons.  I used Stampin' Up Balloon Adventure dies and balloon punch for the balloons.  The base of the card was created with Spellbinders pop up die.  I could not get a good picture of the card, but many of the balloons were cut from glitter paper so there is a lot of sparkle and shine.  Most of us who make cards are familiar with these cards, but when I send them to friends who are not card makers, they are  thrilled with this fun fancy fold.  Sometimes I forget what is common to me is special to them.  

If you play along you can  win this fun die from Elizabeth Craft Design. 

We hope you will join us for this challenge  at Double D Challenge Blog.  

Dies R Us Birthday

It is already the middle of January which means it is time for another challenge at DIES R US CHALLENGE BLOG.  I always need birthday cards so this is a perfect challenge for me. 

A special friend of mine, Donna Phelan, has a birthday on December the 25th.  You can find her amazing designs HERE. Her favorite color is sunshine yellow so I sent her this colorful card.  This is also a practical gift.  There is a monthly calendar, post it notes, and a pen.  I made several of this type of card for December, January and February birthdays. I love a card that has a purpose.  I might do a few more designs for March and April birthdays. 

These are the dies I used for this project.  They are  available at the DIES R US STORE.
