Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper

I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.

I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.

*I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

Measurements:

• Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
• designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
• White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
• Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.

• Springtime Scenes diagonal fold – 2 ways!

  May 4, 2026

  I’m excited to share this neat card with you today. We made it at my April Card Clubs.

  Isn’t it beautiful? It features the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here and the Delicate Dreams DSP seen here. This DSP is so pretty they cannot keep it in stock! Be sure to add your email to the product so you get notified when it comes back in stock.

  This card might look like it’s difficult but it’s as simple as trimming off one half of the card front at a diagonal and flipping it over. Yup; that’s it! Watch my video below to see how it’s done.

  My colors include Secret Sea, Hydrangea Hue (new in color), White and Crumb Cake. The largest circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. The small White circle is from Stylish Shapes dies.

  We tried this layout in both landscape & vertical position. Which do you prefer?
