Looking back over my last few posts I realize I have slipped back into my old favorite of using flowers! I can’t help it ~ I am drawn to those stamp sets, dies and punches that feature flowers.
Today’s card does have some teeny, tiny flowers, but you are going to see the big, ol’ balloon first along with the beautiful Rainbow Glimmer Paper.

I made this for a little girls 1st birthday, I later cut out the number ‘1’ and attached it to the balloon – it really did look really cute when finished. The Special Someone Stamp Set will be available in tomorrow’s flash sale!

Welcome to the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, we are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Jo’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month our theme is PUNCHES ~ where we can showcase the some of the great punches we have available to us. I love punches, they are the first thing I look for in a new catalog (after ribbons) and I got to use 5 different ones on today’s page.
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice
The Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set has just about as many different ways to wish ‘Happy Birthday’ as there can be. Rather than choose one of the stamps I used about 4 – 5 of them on today’s card.
Although I have chosen to use different shade of blue this would work in pinks, yellows, greens et al, and still make a great card for both adults and children.
This is the second of my videos on techniques using the Stamparatus and it features Hinge Stamping. The Happy Birthday is from the Perennial Birthday Stamp set.
The Stamparatus is Stampin’ UP!’s latest tool and an absolute must have for all stampers. It helps you perfectly align your stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and accurately and gets complete ink coverage – ‘cos you can do a ‘do-over’ as my video today will show.
Ooppss………………. I did it again! A new baby arrived in the neighborhood and I STILL don’t have any new baby stamp sets! So once again I have improvised and found a couple of really cute images in the Good Day stamp set that fit the occasion perfectly….. and coupled with the Balloon Bouquet punch I feel happy with the result.

Today I have two cards to share, both made with the Happy Birthday, Gorgeous Stamp Set. This set has 32 pieces, flowers, leaves and balloons plus 13 different greetings! If you are looking for a set that covers most occasions this is the one for you! Oh…. and there is even a ‘BELATED’ stamp – just to cover us for those little ‘whoopsies’ when dates escape us!
Both cards feature balloons and one the ‘Happy Birthday’ thinlet die that is available as a bundle with this set (saving a whopping 10% if you buy them together) Continue reading
During tax season I had 3 birthdays for the ‘littlies’ in my life ~ a grand-daughter, great nephew and the grandson of a dear friend. Balloons are just such cheerful things, they bob and weave and just perfect to celebrate a birthday.
I have added additional classes to my schedule so you might want to go look at the Calendar Tab 🙂

Gosh…………. only 4 more days to go until Christmas 2016 ~ January 1st 2016 is so clear in my mind and the year has passed so fast. Back in October my friend, Elly, from the UK and I designed an advent calendar using a 24 cup mini muffin pan, during December I have been sharing one of the squares each day , with a brief description of each.
You will want to open each post, as there will be a little treat behind each one! Some days it might be some virtual ‘candy’ or sweeties as we call them in the UK, other times it might be a card, 3D project or a video!
I wanted to make a batch of birthday cards that would be great for children but not fall back on the usual pinks and blues, running thru all the lovely colors in the Stampin” Up! palette, I settled on Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight; and nothing is more birthday than balloons!
