Thank you to the talented Dawn Olchefske for this card idea. Actually, I pretty much CASEd (copied) Dawn’s idea step by step. I did change the measurements a little and only added one balloon.
Why change a good thing? I loved Dawn’s card from the start but as I was making it I had to change a few things.
I had to change the measurements and a little 
bit of the layout only because I used a different sentiment. I wanted to use the birthday sentiment since I didn’t need a card about “love”. That meant that I had to shorten my front “flaps” a little bit to make sure the sentiment would fit in the white area.
Here are the measurements I used:
Card Base: 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ score at 1 5/8″ & 5 7/8″
Whisper White: 5 1/4″ x 4″, 1 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ (2x)
Designer Paper: 1 1/4″ x 5 1/8″ (2x)
Night of Navy: 3″ x 3 3/4″
To stamp the sentiment perfectly I adhered the large piece of Whisper White card stock to the inside of my card and then used removable adhesive to hold the two front flaps down so that my card was “closed”. Then I got out my Stamp-a-ma-jig to perfectly align the sentiment. When I was done stamping I just had to rub off the removable adhesive with my finger and I was good to go.
To finish off the card, I die cut my balloon and adhered just the top of it to the top flap. Don’t put adhesive on the whole balloon or you won’t be able to open your card! 🙂

As you can see from the last picture, I couldn’t add the small balloon to my card because there wasn’t room when I used the longer sentiment. Thanks again Dawn for your inspiration!
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
