We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

My Crafty Items of choice for this challenge is:

Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder

Celebration Time Die

Because of the holiday, this challenge will run for TWO weeks.

So excited to share all the fun elements on this card with you.

First thing was to create the balloons.

I started by die cutting the balloons out of #120 white card stock using the Celebration Time Die.

Then using a Tim Holtz Alphanumeric die, I ran the balloons back thru the die cutting

machine again, die cutting out the individual numbers on the balloons.

A final pass thru the die cutting machine using the balloon die again,

 this time with the holographic/gold paper creates the backdrop for the balloons.

With all the pieces cut I assembled the balloons, together and laid them aside for the glue to dry.

Now to create a card to place these balloons on.

Using black cardstock, I created a slimline card base   3¾ x 6 ½   

This will give me just enough room for the balloons on the front of the card.

For the card front I decided on the Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder and black card stock.

The embossing folder is only six inches long, so the sides of my card will have a ¼ inch plain boarder.

I am ok with this, making my card smaller meant that the balloons would not fit the way I wanted.

Assembling this card was easy, card front on to card base.

Then I arranged the balloons on the front slightly overlapping.

A bit of twine attached to the back of balloon to function as string

Layer of foam tape gave the balloons a different height.

To finish this card, I got my sparkle pen and coated the front of the balloons.

I also added a jewel on each of the balloons for some more shimmer.

 

This completes my take on It’s Party Time!
