Balloon Festoon surprise slider card with video tutorial

I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here. Feel free to download it to print or save in your files for later.

Below is the video tutorial; I hope you watch it! There’s a second card I share as well; I’ll feature that project in tomorrow’s post.

  I love each and every one! 

  We chose to use colors in the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper for our swap.  We could create any shape or design we wanted to within the Fall theme.  It seems to always work out that we have a nice variety of sizes etc.

  Thanks for stopping in!  Have a wonderful weekend!

• Wow; look at this gorgeous Fall Sampler!!

  October 29, 2020

  Earlier this month my Flowerbug's Team held a Fall Sampler swap.  We each created one element and made multiples of it for everyone in the swap.  These swaps are super fun to make!  The only rule we have is that everything is current Stampin' Up! product and the colors coordinate with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

  Look!!

  Isn't it amazing!?  We had enough people to make two!  I'll share the other one tomorrow.

  I adhered each piece on a 12" sheet of the In Good Taste designer series paper.  This texture style paper is on sale right now in October!  But there's just two days left to get it!  Go here to order yours.

  • The grass image on the bottom is from the Field of Flowers stamp set
