Balloons Easel Card Video

Hello, Crafters.

I hope you're enjoying a relaxing weekend.
 
Last Wednesday when I published my video, I said I was going to do a run of five fun fold cards, and true to my word, here's the first one!

It's an easel card where I have used balloons which look like they're floating off the card. 

I found the three-step stamping of the balloons from the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set a very big challenge, but I persevered and share how I get a good result almost every time. 

I made the Pool Party card first, but I felt it looked over-crowded with five balloons. I only made  three balloons for the card on the video and thought it looked much cleaner.

I'm really excited that my Stamparatus is out for delivery on Tuesday. 

I don't start showing projects with new products until they are available to customers within seven days, and the Stamparatus is just the same.

However, getting one now will give me a chance to practice before it's available in the new 2018 - 2019 Annual catalogue. 

If you have any questions about the Stamparatus that you'd like me to check out, please let me know. 

That's about it from me today. Until tomorrow, happy Sunday and happy crafting.

JanB.

  5. I love your cards Jan. I made one today with retired paper. Didn’t use balloons because it didn’t go with my paper so I used flowers. It came out great!
    I love your perfection. OCD at its best! ��
