Birthday Foil Balloons

This card came about because I was making a DIFFERENT card...to be posted next week, and I had several big pieces of the designer series paper left.  I made this 5" x 5" card, and a matching envelope.  I still have a few decent size bits left to use on something else.  Main colors on the card here are Melon Mambo and Smoky Slate.

I'm so glad that I have my Envelope Punch Board, so that I can make just about any size envelope that I need.  Stampin' Up no longer carries it, but it's a worthwhile purchase if you come across it on another site.

The only stamping was the greeting.  I embossed the words from Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set, using White embossing powder on black card stock.

Layer the designer series paper on the card front, and added some foil balloons.  I only punched out the larger balloons with the Balloon Bouquet punch.  I used lots of different foil papers - Lovely Lipstick (because it matches Melon Mambo very well), Gold, Silver, and Champagne.

The greeting strip, and the all of the balloons are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Use the Banner Triple punch to flag the ends of the Champagne foil strip, and the greeting strip.

Finish off with a bunch (odd number) of rhinestones.
