CelebrateToday!

I got this idea from Pinterest and changed it around a litle bit. I did a free hand cut of the grad hat. The tassel for hat is one of the dies from the Balloon framelits. When I was ready to make the inside of the card I decided the negative space left over from stamping and cutting out the balloon would work perfectly.

Paper Pumpkin Balloons

I paired the Calypso Coral balloon from the kit with a round balloon cut using my Balloon Framelits to make this quick and simple card. The round balloon is cut from another piece of the cut up bag. I used Island Indigo, Daffodil Delight card stock, Island Indigo baker's twine and some candy dots from my own supplies. I made two cards like this... that brings the total to 12. And there are more to come!

Paper Pumpkin Inspiration

If you search on Pinterest for Paper Pumpkin you can find lots of fun alternative uses for the kit supplies. That's how I found this card from Stamp Your Art Out.  I like the way the card base was used to make the fun z-fold. I used my Balloon Framelits again for the balloon this time. Other items not included in the kit are the Whisper White, Daffodil Delight  and Calypso Coral card stock and the Calypso Coral ink. I made three cards like this... that's 10 cards.

More Paper Pumpkin

This card is very similar to the one in the pack I just added the string of banners to the corner and offset the circle a bit.

So, for this one I had to use some of my own Daffodil Delight card stock and the Balloon Framelits with my Big Shot for the string of banners. I made two cards like this. If you are keeping track that is 7 cards so far.

Celebrate Today

Here's a card made using another bundle from the Occasions catalog. In this bundle you get the Celebrate Today stamp set and the Balloon Framelits. The framelits or stamp set alone are great but put then together and a card goes together really quickly! I used some retired DSP to make cut one balloon and the banner. The banner can be used as I did here or also as a decoration on the balloon. I also used the Lucky Stars embossing folder on this card.
