Hello Crafty friends, today I have some cute quick cards to share with you!
I have chosen the 5×7 Happy Birthday Balloon Cluster Card file (SVG, Silhouette) from Lori Whitlock. These were very easy, quick & fun to do! I like to have some cards on hand in my stash & these were perfect.
Not only did I make cards that were fun & bright, but I was able to add silver to blue & white or black & white to get a masculine theme! I definitley never have enough of those in my stash!
I started out by cutting out all my paper elements.
Now just a quick tip……my Silhouette Cameo doesn’t seem to like cutting fine small detail in black cardstock. I have found an easy solution to this by using black adhesive vinyl instead. Once I weed my vinyl I was able to use transfer tape to place the sentiment & the string in place quite easily. I find this process less messy too! No need to use glue to stick down those fine lines.
Next it’s just a matter of adhering all the balloons into place & using some foam tape for the front ones to get dimension, like I have, if you wish. Then I embellished with some enamel shapes to look like confetti around the balloons.
This card file makes a great activity to do with the kids! As I said, they were so easy to do!
I hope you enjoyed my cards today & give them a try for yourself!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs
