I have been using the Balloon Adventures stamp set today as I needed to make a quick birthday card. I stamped a variety of balloons using the solid, spotty and striped balloons from the stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the Balloon Bouquet Punch. I had more balloons than I needed and I put the spares into small Ziploc bags and store these inside the stamp set box to use on other projects.

I took a layer of Whisper White cardstock and stamped a number of balloons randomly using the same colours as I used for the punched balloons, Tempting Turquoise, Real Red and Crushed Curry, in the top half of the panel and added strings using Archival Basic Black Ink. Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added a strip of retired Cherry on Top dsp, you could use any dsp that co-ordinates with your colour palette. I then added a thin piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock to cover the ends of the balloon strings. I added 3 of the punched balloons onto the topper using Stampin’ Dimensionals to give some height to the card.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Archival Basic Black ink and punched out using the Classic Label Punch. It was added to the topper using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The whole topper was then added to a Tempting Turquoise card base.
