Balloons – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

This is a handmade card made with the So Much Happy Stampin' Up! bundle and the sentiment says happy birthday.

Welcome to InKing Royalty's February Blog Hop! During this year's blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month's projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Today's project features the So Much Happy Bundle paired with the Balloon Bouquet Punch!

This is a handmade card made with the So Much Happy Stampin' Up! bundle and the sentiment says happy birthday.

I just LOVE how the ‘HAPPY' die works! This won't be the last time you see me use this die. I love how you can cut ‘HAPPY' horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. For this card, I opted to cut it horizontally to go with the lines from the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper!

Purple is my favorite color, so I went with shades of it for this card – pulling inspiration from the Designer Series Paper as I often do! The balloons come from the Balloon Bouquet Punch, but there are slightly smaller balloons in the Happy Dies!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Joanne Brown at The Inky Dragon. There's lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don't want to miss it!

    Each part of this card is so cute! It is a Smile card for sure. I will have to give the Happy a try myself.

    For a second there I had to look at it to figure out what you had cut and what you hadn’t. Love the look of this and your horizontal stripes are too cute. Thanks for sharing.

    It took me a while to realize you cut this from the striped paper vs. the Gorgeous Grape paper beneath it. Such a great card, Julie!
