Tutorial: Balloon Pop-Up Card

Happy March!  Wow, here in the Indiana March has certainly come roaring in like a lion and this morning it was snowing at the bus stop!  

 

For today's tutorial, I wanted to show you a fun pop-up birthday card featuring the Balloon Adventures stamp set and the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.

 

 INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the card base, score a piece of 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” Watermelon Wonder card stock at 4-1/4” and fold in half.

2. Adhere a 5-1/4 x 1-3/4” piece of Watermelon Wonder striped paper from the 2014-16 Designer Series Paper Stack onto a piece of 5-1/4” x 4” Whisper White card stock.  On the right side stamp some confetti from the Balloon Adventures stamp set in Watermelon Wonder ink.  Adhere to the front of the card.

3. Cut out balloons in Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush card stock using the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies.

4. Fold a piece of 8-1/4” x 5-1/4” Whisper White cardstock in half. Open up and place the balloon pop-up die in the center and layer it between the Cutting Pads.  Carefully roll through the Big Shot.

5. On the cut-out piece, stamp the balloons from the Balloon Adventures stamp set in Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macron and Cucumber Crush ink. Stamp the sides with the confetti stamp set in Watermelon Wonder ink.  Stamp “THE BEST IS YET TO COME” in Watermelon Wonder inside the banner.  Adhere to the front of the card.

6. Fold along the score lines and adhere to the inside of the card.
