Say Goodbye to Balloon Adventures Stamp Set & Balloon Pop-Up Dies

Diorama Card Made by Sue Boerner

(Front) The "Birthday Fiesta" Stamp Set is retiring.

You can sort of see the 3-D part of this card.

Yes, it does fold down flat for mailing.  Great job Sue!

The Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies were used on this card (pg. 5- Occasions Catalog)

"Balloon Adventures" and these dies will be retiring very soon so get them while you still can!

Another card project displayed at a StampinUP event.

See how cool the inside is with the Balloon Pop-Up Dies folding out?

Thanks very much for "popping" by......Lori

Explosion Card Using Balloon Adventures Stamp Set by Stampin'UP!

This card was designed by Mary Booker and made by me at a recent demonstrator event.

The Balloon Adventures Stamp Set (Occasions Catty) was used for the front & "let's celebrate" (inside).

The silver and gold balloons were punched out of glimmer paper using the Balloon Bouquet Punch

The Party Animal Designer Series Paper was used for the fun design inside the card.

See the surprise explosion happening when you open up the card?  Cool huh?

If you would like directions and dimensions for Mary's explosion card, please let me know.

Party Animal Embellishments & Balloon Adventures Stamp Set by Stampin' UP!

On this card, I used the sentiment from "Balloon Adventures".

The 3 strips that you see with a torn edge on the right are.....

-Crushed Curry Card Stock

-Emerald Envy Washi Tape

-Washi Tape with the Confetti

Both strips of washi tape are from the Occasions Catalog- pg. 5

I used the Party Animal Embellishments that go along with that washi tape.

This card was simple to make and will be easy to figure out.

If you have a question though, don't hesitate to ask me.

Thanks very much- Lori
