Balloon Birthday Party Card Recipe

Stamps: Balloon Adventures.

Ink/Markers: Tangerine Tango.

Paper: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Emerald Envy, Gold Glimmer, Party Animal Designer Series Paper, Window Sheet.

Accessories: Big Shot, Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Sprinkles Punch, Party Pack Punches.

The Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits were designed to use on the inside of the card.  Normally, you would die cut the thinlit on a piece of cardstock, fold it and attach to the inside of the card.  When the card is opened, the balloons would pop off the card.  This card is just another idea on how to make multiple uses of your die cuts.

Punch the shaker bits and pieces from various punches and papers.  Contain behind the window sheet.  Secure the Window Sheet to the Whisper  White cardstock so that no pieces escape.
