Celebrate Today!

IMG_5042Who doesn’t love a cute birthday card?

I made this fun birthday card for a swap I recently hosted.  I used the new birthday stamp set “Celebrate Today” from the Occasions Catalog.   I love all the balloons and banners in this stamp set.  Too fun!

Don’t you love my balloon?  I didn’t stamp it.  I actually used a Stampin’ Sponge to rub color on a piece of Vellum Card Stock.  Then I die cut the balloon with the COORDINATING Balloon Framelits.  Yes!  Hooray for COORDINATION!!!  I thought I gave the balloon a fun look and you can see the confetti through it!

If you’re wondering where the “celebrate” is from it’s actually from my favorite birthday stamp set “Endless Birthday Wishes” (#137553  $13.95).  This stamp set isn’t in a catalog.  It’s one of the monthly photopolymer stamp sets that Stampin’ Up! comes out with.  Click on the link and see all of the fun stamps included in this set.  Order yours today because once they’re gone….they’re gone.

I used a color combination of Bermuda Bay and Strawberry Slush on this card.  What color combination would you choose?  Leave me a comment and let me know!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
