You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog or you may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you can see all of the projects.

My project today features the Balloon Builders photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Balloon Bouquet punch.

There is so much inspiration on Pinterest, which is right where I looked when creating this project. My inspiration is taken from a number of cards - click here to see cards on Pinterest made using this stamp set.


This project was actually designed for a make and take that I created for a group of 40+ fellow demonstrators at a crafty weekend in Birmingham held by my upline Michelle Last. We had so much fun. There were 6 make and takes altogether and we had 3 hours to make them - time certainly flies when you are having fun!


I've made two versions of this card so you can see how versatile the design is by just using different colours and accessories.

I've used Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride & Watermelon Wonder, a watercolour background using Pink Pirouette, coordinating Subtles Enamel Shapes and Cooper Metallic Thread. For the other card I have used Soft Sky, Pool Party and Island Indigo, a watercolour background using Soft Sky, coordinating Subtles Enamel Shapes and Silver Metallic Thread.
