Birthday Bash Sentiments Day 3

Welcome to day three of sneak peaks for Birthday Bash Sentiments.  I can hardly believe it's day 3 already!!!  Today I will be featuring 4 more sentiments you haven't seen.  I was a little playful with my creations as I wanted to show you how to use many of the items you have in your stash to compliment the sentiments from Birthday Bash Sentiments!  Let's not wait another moment...


Card #1

Balloons and birthday, birthdays and balloons that's the way it is!  Well at least at my house.  I created some balloons using circle dies and felt.  I also cut mini triangles for the balloon base and added floss too!  While the balloons looked perfectly fine I decided to step it up a notch and add some buttons too. I just love the squares for the "happy" sentiment and decided they each needed their own colour.  I coloured the blocks using tombo markers and then stamped the "birthday" sentiment directly below!

This shaker card is the best shaker I've ever seen. I'm not a big fan of shakers for some reason. But this one changed my mind. What a great idea!!!

Steph Zerbe said...

That balloon card really caught my eye, love that blocked Happy and just such a cute idea for a shaker card with that curled ribbon. I think it is time for a new birthday set as Birthday Basics is getting old!
