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 was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card:

  I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts.  It was actually very easy to do!  I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors.  I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems. 

  You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging.  I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.  

  I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink.  The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen.  That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies!  Can you see the shimmer on the flowers?  I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.

  I'm combining retiring with new here.  The DSP is the Flowers for Every Season (retiring) and the greeting is from the new Color & Contour stamp set.  The leaves are from the Penned Flowers dies.

• Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!

  Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.

  Aren't they fabulous?  It was sweet & generous of her!  

  For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog.

  She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water.  She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely.  The fresh flowers lasted over a week!  

  Would you like to know how she made the basket?  Well she made a template to share with you all as well!  Download Sharon's Basket here

  For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog.
