Hi bloggers! I started this card by cutting the round balloon from the
Dotty Balloon die set out of six different colours of card. I glued them onto a piece of coconut white card, slightly overlapping them. Next I cut a square out of it. Next I used the
Noble Happy Birthday die and cut the word "Happy" out of the centre of the balloons. I added a black shadow behind the word then added foam to the back. I added a thin black mat to it to the square and added mounting foam on the back to raise it. I put it back into place with the same alignment and added the Happy word back into place as well. I used a thin black felt tip and drew in the strings and then cut the word "Birthday" in black and added it below the balloons. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Fabulous card Sue xx Hazel
Hi Sue. I love both the balloon did and the Noble Happy Birthday they are so useful. I'm just loving this sample but I don't know if I'm just really thick, it's early and brain not fully soaked in coffee or it really is complicated lol I know it's brilliant though, can we have a video tutorial please? Sending much love xxx
Hi Sue, love it and the colours and design I must make thanks for sharing. Take care Vi.x
Hello and all

Hello Sue, great fun card for any birthday. So clever how you have cut the balloons through different colours. Love the Happy birthday sentiment too and how you've changed the look. The happy birthday sentiment is a go do die. Thanks xx

Fabulous card Sue, got that ‘happy’ feeling to it. Although, I can’t work out how you got the Happy letters exactly the same colour as the balloons.
Annette x
Like some of the others, can't quite work out how
it works!!! Must sit and do it with your instructions
in front of me!!!
Doreen x
Love it, simple and effective. Don't have the dies but now a want...
Hi Sue - another great card. The balloon dies are so useful for just about anybody and I can't believe how you keep coming up with some many amazing ideas! This design is so clever. Sending best wishes

Hi Sue, love this ‘Happy’ card but think a video of this might be useful! The way the letters match the balloon colours is very effective. Thank you Sue

I couldn’t work out how you’d managed to match the colours until I read the instructions!!!! A really fab card. Quite simple but so effective. X
Hi Sue. When I first saw the card I thought it looked really complicated but now that I have read the instructions it is really quite simple to achieve. What a really great card for anybody to receive.

Hi Sue, a lovely CAS looking and colourful card but quite a lot of work has gone into it. I would say that this card is 'on trend' if I used such expressions lol but it is!

Very clever card this morning. I have just been making "Eclipse" cards and this one would have been great. Balloons are such a fun element for many occasions.
Enjoy your mid-week,
Stephanie K
You are so clever. I have not yet tried this Eclipse word technique. I find it an amazing looking.
Such a clever use of the balloons. I'm not a great fan of eclipse cards but this card is so effective xx
Hi Sue
What a sweet card! I haven’t made an eclipse card for such a long time you reminded me how nice they look!
