Happy Birthday Balloon Bouquet

I made this for my Birthday Card Buffet classes.  There is so much fun in this combo of In Colors: Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, Cucumber Crush and Tip Top Taupe!

It is important that spacing and placement is planned.  So I had a tutorial sheet with steps for each card design to coach my stampers.  First they stamped the sentiments.

Then the balloon strings.  Next come the stamped balloons in three colors.  They also stamped and punched out balloons in each cardstock color.  This is an exploded arrangement to see how it will come together.  Yes, that top balloon is practice stamping on the worksheet - not part of the card.

The Balloon Celebration stamp set and coordinating Balloon Bouquet punch are a fun combo

  

You can find these and a few more balloon styles at my online store.  Please use the hostess code below when your order is less than $150.  You can contact me with your order or shop online HERE.  Contact me if you would like the free tutorial sheet for this card.

Last Chance and Early Bird Registration

One extra day to register for the Birthday Card Buffet Class:

Here is a quick look at the buffet options for class on Saturday January 21st, 11-2.  When you sign up to attend I will send individual images to you for your selection.  Email or text me.

You choose which cards you want to make and how many of each card. I cut everything for you and when you come to class you stamp and cut out everything for each card and assemble ONE of each at class. The rest is homework, but you have everything you need all ready, you just glue it together.  20 handmade cards for $35 is a great value.  I hope this sounds fun and an efficient way to get stocked up for birthdays in 2017!  Contact me to sign up today, January 15, 2017

Birthday Card Buffet

Coming up on Saturday January 21 is a birthday card buffet to get you stocked up for all your birthday needs this year!  How does it work?

I will design 10 cards and number them, then post them to registered customers. You choose which cards you want to make and how many of each card. I cut everything for you and when you come to class you stamp and cut out everything for each card and assemble ONE of each at class. The rest is homework, but you have everything you need all ready, you just glue it together. I will have a max of 20 cards you can choose and I charge $35 for the class.  I hope this sounds fun and efficient to get stocked up for 2017!
