Balloon Birthday Card


Back in February I had purchased this beautiful birthday themed Washi Tape from Pinkfresh Studios, and about the same time the folks at PFS had done a feature that mentioned that Washi Tape has a shelf life. Well - that wasn't obvious to a lot of us, judging by the comments on Facebook that I saw. People all over were grabbing their rolls of PFS wide Washi and adhering it down to cardstock. I was one of them. 😂

Not one to waste a pretty foiled image, this partial balloon was on the starting edge of the Washi Tape. I hadn't purchased the stamp & die bundle for the Washi - just the tape itself. So I fussy cut two images from the tape and added them to a stitched panel then to a card front. Since this was going to my Mom's old nursing home, I was free to add layers of foam tape!


The water coloured background is actually a printed note card. I purchased a set of them so I could use their pretty prints on my cards. The balloons have gold foiling on them and I added some gold Glitter Dots for additional sparkle.  Below is a peek at the inside...


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
