Birthday Wishes
Hello bloggers! I used the Birthday Balloons die set to create today's background. I cut the round, oval, star and heart balloons out of yellow, orange and raspberry card. I glued them randomly on to a piece of black card. I embossed the card with the Twill Weave embossing folder. I glued it onto a larger piece of white card. I used the Birthday Wishes from the Balloon Tail Sentiments die set, but this time I used them horizontally like a regular sentiment (they work nicely both ways!) I completed the card with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" X 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
What a beautiful bright vibrant sample, and perfect for teens. Running the design through with a folder gives that tactile edge and added interest, who wouldn't want a happy card like this on their birthday.
Sending love to everyone xxx

Good morning Sue,
A bright & cheerful card which is unusual & very tactile. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a great idea, they look amazing. I was wondering if you will do a Christmas version of the Balloon tail sentiment dies, I love the swirl at each end, if not I will try and add them onto the Christmas ones I have.
Thank you so much, I received my blog prize yesterday, can't wait to play but at the moment I have carpal tunnel problems in my hand so it is a bit difficult but it is on my list to do.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue
Another fantastic card today loving the fact that you could do this with any embossing folder.

Morning Sue, what an awesome birthday card, any recipient would love to get this. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Morning Sue - what a brilliant idea to run it through an embossing folder, absolutely love it! Also love my die that arrived yesterday - thank you so much Sue. Colleen xx
Hi Sue. Although I might have thought of sticking the different balloons to a sheet of card like this, I would never have thought of running it through an embossing folder - what a great idea. I think that the black background is not for everyone but would be perfect for trendy teenagers and you could always change the background colour for anyone else.

Fabulous card, really liked it when I saw it on hobby maker, looks loads better up close.
What a lovely right card today on this sunny autumn morning. You have a lot of patience Sue cutting out all those balloons & the extra detail of putting it through an embossing folder really finishes the card off. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue
Love this card and I might try to make a version of it for my grandson’s birthday, I ordered the balloon trail sentiment die along with the happy birthday background and the stacked presents so I’m looking forward to to them arriving soon
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue. WOW, what a fab, fun card !!!
I love the colours you have used, and what an unusual idea to use the dies as a background with the addition of using a background folder with them too.
I love how you have used the Balloon strings to make the main sentiment. Some lovely ideas that have created a really lovely card !!!
Thank you.

What a fun birthday card! A great idea to run it through an embossing folder once you've glued the balloons to get that interesting textured background. Love it.

Stay safe and healthy.
