Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Hi everyone! Is a birthday really a birthday without balloons and handmade card? Today I’m combining the two with a simple card you can make using some Designer Series Paper and FREE stamp set that is part of this year’s Sale-A-Bration.
The card base starts with Whisper White or Basic White cardstock repeatedly stamped on the right with the balloon included in the Approaching Perfection Sale-A-Bration stamp set. A 2.5-inch wide strip of Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper takes up the left side of the card.
Next I embossed “Happy Birthday” with white Stampin’ Emboss Powder over a strip of Bermuda cardstock and pasted on top of the card. For a little more color I filled in some of the balloons with a Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker.
Told you that was easy. You can use any color combination you like. Get inspired by the dozens of Designer Series Paper available.

Today’s project was made with the FREE Approaching Perfection Sale-A-Bration stamp set. Get your own when you spend $50 or more on your favorite products from Stampin’ Up!
