Stampin' Up! Celebrate with Tags ~ Birthday Balloons (Handmade Card)

 

It has been gloomy outside ALL DAY!  So, I decided I needed some bright colors in my crafting and chose to use Granny Apple Green, Tahitian Tide, and Poppy Parade on my card featuring Celebrate with Tags stamps.  I LOVE this color combination and how these colors really POP! against all the white.  


The layout of my card was inspired by this fun sketch (#686) from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  There's a couple of days left before this sketch challenge ends, if you would like to play along! 

I chose to make mine a small slimline.  You can find my measurements for this card near the end of this post.  


I kept the inside of my card pretty simple, just adding another sentiment and balloon.  Of course, without the 'Happy Birthday' inside, this card could really be used to celebrate many things, not just birthdays. 


MEASUREMENTS
Card Base ~ Thick Basic White Cardstock ~ 6-1/2" x 6-1/2", score at 3-1/4"
Layer 1 ~ Tahitian Tide Cardstock ~ 3" x 6"
Layer 2 ~ Basic White Cardstock ~ 2-3/4" x 5-3/4"
Scraps of Basic White Cardstock and a Scrap of Tahitian Tide Cardstock
