Happy Birthday Balloons


I recently bought a set of dies from Hochanda designed by Julie Hickey. I had seen so many great examples of men's cards she had made and I just knew it would help me make cards for men as I am not all that good at them.

I used the rectangle die to cut frame from metallic card that I have had for a million years. This has been matted onto some holographic card.

I covered a card black with a balloon paper from Dovecraft. The balloons have been diecut from probably the most used die in my collection. I have added glitter and glossy accents and popped up on 3D foam. The gifts are cardstock stickers from my stash attached to the balloons with some metallic string.

The happy sentiments is a Docrafts sticker mounted onto scraps of black and holographic card. The birthday word has been cut using the co-ordinating die from JHD

Card Details -

Size - A5
Dies - Happy Frame & Birthday word by Julie Hickey Designs. Balloon 1 by Ellison Designs
Embellishments - Sentiment sticker from Docrafts, Cardstock present stickers, glitter & Glossy Accents


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order)
