Reminder Twofer Card Challenge #35 - Balloons

I made these two cards as a reminder that there is only one week left in the current Twofer Card Challenge where this month's prompt is BALLOONS. It's wonderful to see so many amazing creations in the gallery so far.

I have to tell you that it was not easy at all to make this twofer. Not because I don't have enough different craft supplies in the shape of balloons in my craft room, but because I was thinking in the same direction all the time. :-) It was necessary for me to step out of my comfort zone to create two totally different cards with the same stamp. I've created a birthday card and Christmas card. For both of them I've used craft supplies of the Slovenian brand Najlepši par. I adore everything in their store. 

I'm entering my cards to the:

- Najlepši par: Galerija februar 2021 (pravokotniki s šivi, vesela pošta, mali medvedki, tvoj dan rezalne šablone in štampiljka, na nebu, voščilo, mačje navihanke)

- Najlepši par: Zadeni celotno poletno kolekcijo (mačje navihanke)

BIRTHDAY CARD

 

For this card I took a piece of white paper and stamped star shaped balloons in rainbow colors. I colored some of the balloons with pencils. Then I die cut the rectangle in the shape of a postal stamp. The big sentiment (today is your day) is cut out 2 times. Ones from white paper and once from red moss gum and glued together. The other part of the sentiment (may it be happy and full of dreams) is heath embossed in white on black paper. The button with the word and the little hearth instead of the dot are die cut out of red paper. I have mounted everything on a red card base.

- Use Your Stuff: #416 It's My Favourite (rainbow colors)

 CHRISTMAS CARD

For this card I took a piece of white paper, dry embossed with the dots. I mounted it on a green base. Then I stamped the shape of the balloon on the white watercolor paper and die cut it. I thought about turning the balloon into the comet. So I needed the die cut of the rainbow to make the appropriate shape for the tail with the scissors. Both the star and the tail are watercolored with the brush in gold color. The little cat riding the comet is colored with distress ink. For the sentiment I have colored white paper with red distress ink and glued over it clear adhesive tape. Then I cut the sentiment with the die (happy holiday). The adhesive tape makes the sentiment shine. Christmas cards needs to have some sparkle. :-)

I'm entering this card to:
