Birthdays and Balloons

 Hello- I've been enjoying some tennis and college football on tv this weekend. I thought I should get back to my crafty space to work on more birthday cards, so I have tennis on in the background.

This card is going to Addicted to Stamps - Birthday.   I used the Greetery's Delightful Digits coverplate for the white on white background, and MFT's Balloon Bundle for my focal point and sentiment.




 

 

Next up I am playing along with CAS on Friday with their Balloon theme and for the colors Seize the Birthday with Pastels.  For this card I chose MFT's Sweet Celebration stamp and die.

 


 

For your blog   

 

 Thanks so very much for visiting!

Love the balloons but that coverplate gets all the heart-eyes today, Cat!!! WOWZERS that is a beauty!!!
Your background on card 2 looks so much like the water-y one on the StB logo! These cuties do get carried away in the sweetest of ways!

Two beautiful birthday cards ! I'm totally in love with the white on white background. This cover plate is gorgeous and I love how the balloons beautifully pop up against the white. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at ATSM.

Nothing says "birthday" like balloons! These stamps are super cute, colored to perfection, and I love how precisely the dies cut. I'm always looking for that when I buy stamps. I mean, look at those strings and the inner parts! Two great cards, Cat!

Two great cards, Cat! I am in love with that number background die! Jaydee, I do believe used it over at TPP this week and I was in love right away! As for your card for STB...I like how you sponged the background and gave it some definition, and that darling array of balloons and critters is precious. Thanks for playing along with us over at Seize the Birthday and including the topping too! Have a great day!

Wonderful balloon cards Cat! Love the primary colours in the first one and I'm adding that coverplate to my wishlist lol!! The cute critters with the balloons look great against the inky background too, thankyou for joining in at Seize the Birthday, Cathy x

Two really lovely cards. That cover plate die background is pretty special and I love that textured inking on your second card. I often have the tv on on my computer while I craft - mind you it usually means I am not concentrating on either thing! xx
