Big Birthday Balloon!

Hello friends - I've posted at Die Cut Divas today with the first card below. You can only find all details and a bonus here!!


Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card; 
MFT Petite Gingham; Poptone Blu Raspberry; scraps
Dies - MFT Blueprints 26

We were to be sponsored by My Favorite Things this month & they had requested birthdays since it's their birthday month. Sadly, they have closed but don't worry, we'll still be offering a prize!


I fell in love with My Favorite Things starting with their Blueprints die sets. So, I thought it would be fitting to use one of my first Blueprints - the fabulous #26 which works perfectly for birthdays! I simply die cut the elements and assembled on an A2 card with a bottom border strip. Very quick & easy!! I linked to Frantic Stamper who still has this set but Simon Says Stamp also has some in stock (just slightly more expensive).

For my bonus, I went with another fave Blueprints set that I've used several times over the years. This one isn't available either at FS or SSS however.


Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card; 
MFT Petite Gingham, Orange Sherbet, 
& Watercolor Wash; scraps
Dies - MFT Blueprints 20 (retired)
Stamps - MFT Something for Everything (retired)
Ink - Hero Arts Amethyst

Another quick and easy card with die cutting, plus a stamped sentiment. I stacked the label with three white ones behind the purple one for dimension. The gingham looks rather blue in the photo but it's a lavender that coordinates well with the other papers...

That's it for today, friends. We'd love to see your birthday projects using dies &/or embossing folders in the July Diva Gallery!

Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!!
