Spellbinders | Balloon Birthday Cards. Video

Hello crafters! Today I’m creating Birthday cards with new products Spellbinders and Carisa Wiley. Spellbinders has teamed up with Carissa to bring us a new influencer collection called It’s My Party and it is all about creating those party cards for different occasions. This is a collection of hot foil plates, coordinating dies, and stencils, and it is designed to help you make party cards in no time!

There is also a supportive collection from Spellbinders called It’s My Party Too and it features 2 large embossing folders for us to play with along with 4 different hot foil plate sentiments for Birthdays. I never have enough birthday cards so of course I was excited to dig into these products and create Birthday cards using them.

CARD DETAILS

Carissa has a ton of inspiration on her blog and social media showing how you can use her products and all sorts of things you can create using her collection. I wanted to do something different, I wanted to show you how you can combine these with some floral dies you might already have in your stash to create birthday cards. I have several ideas, I have a window card, I have a shaker, and a faux window card for you.

I wanted to use Carissa’s Big Birthday Balloon Glimmer hot foil plate as the focal point for my cards and I knew I wanted to span the foiled sentiments across the balloon. In order to do that I knew I’d need to use heat-resistant acetate, so I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Specialty Clear Film to foil my sentiments. I used opaque white foil for most of the foiling today.

WINDOW BIRTHDAY CARD

Here’s what it looks like when you begin to open it:

This one is a true window card with foiling on the outside, sentiment foiled on acetate and sandwiched between the front panel and card base, and beautiful flowers on the inside of the card.

Here are some close-up photos:

The inside features not only beautiful flowers from the Parcel & Post Mailbox die set, but also a sentiment from my Inside Card Sentiments glimmer plate set.

FAUX WINDOW BIRTHDAY CARD

This next card is a faux window one. There’s no opening to the inside of the card and you have a full blank page on the inside to write a message. I used the exact same supplies here:

BIRTHDAY SHAKER WINDOW CARD

My last card is another faux window one, but it features a shaker. I did
