Bold Balloon Adventures Birthday Card Ideas - Shannon Jaramillo Stampin Up

Happy New Year Peeps! I’m thrilled to dip my toes back in the crafting pool with new products from the Stampin’ Up!

Perfect to pair with Emerald Envy for a clean and simple masculine birthday card!

  • The sentiment from the new Balloon Adventures Stamp Set is so cheerful in a fresh fun font and pairs beautifully with this balloon die from the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies and can be purchased as a bundle for a savings of 15%! Awesome!
  • I die cut the balloon from both Emerald Envy and Pacific Point and used the Fin Tip Glue Pen to adhere the pieces to my card front.
  • Yes, the Envelope Liner Die is retired but I just cannot resist showing off more of the pretty papers in this DSP!
  • The Fine Tip Glue Pen makes adhering a bit of Whisper White Thick Baker’s Twine a snap!

  • I used other sentiments from the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set to decorate the inside of the card as well!
  • I couldn’t stop stamping so I added some fun confetti and a balloon to the outside of the envelope…I just love Pacific Point and Emerald Envy together!

I looked to my favorite challenge blog for layout inspiration for today’s card:

Thank you to all these wonderful ladies for providing inspiration each and every week!

So what do you think? It’s pretty simple, I know, but not having put ink to paper in almost three months, I have to start somewhere!

Thank you so much for your continued message of courage and inspiration while I have been away, I have read and deeply appreciated each and every one. The world is still a very scary place for me, but little by little, I feel the fog lifting and look forward to each new day.
