Seize The Birthday - Transparency or Vellum



Time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, and Ashwini has chosen Transparency or Vellum, but don't worry if that's not your thing, you can still play along with any birthday-themed creation.

I was inspired by the card that Laura Dovalo made for the MFT launch of this die.  I didn't have the big balloons stencil so I made my own by die cutting some other MFT balloons.  I added a narrow strip of foam tape underneath the 'Big' so that all the sequins don't fall down to the bottom of the card.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team, and from our surprise party guest, Julie, and play along with us.

Not one to waste a good die-cutting here's what I did with the cut out letters.


I love a good twofer!

  9. What's not to love here - there are so many colorful balloons, then two cards out of one panel, and then one of them is a shaker card. I think this is a complete victory!! :D
