My first card features the super cute and fun Bold Balloons stamp set and the Bold Balloons Dies. The balloons were all stamped on Sugar Cube cardstock, cut out with the Bold Balloons Dies, and popped up with foam tape. The strings and "happy birthday" sentiment from the Bold Balloons set and the "Let's get carried away" sentiment from the If Balloons Could Talk Stamp Set were all stamped with Taylored Expressions Oreo ink.

My second card features the Word Search - Birthday Background stamp....It was stamped on Sugar Cube cardstock with Toffee Ink and again on Cookie Monster cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The words were cut out of the Cookie Monster background and popped up over the same words on the Sugar Cube background. The Bold Balloons Dies were used to cut the balloons out of Hello Happiness 6x6  paper pack paper and they were also popped up on the background. 


The Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate was used to cut the frame out of Cookie Monster cardstock and the twine attached to the balloons finishes it off.

Fabulous cards for this celebration, Joan! Love the soft colors & fat balloons on the first one. The word play couldn't possibly have been more creative! Awesome stuff!

I enjoy your cards and you also found a way to use the background birthday stamp well. Jen Shults did one I liked and then there was yours....I am pretty sure I wouldn't have figured out how to use that background as well. Contemplating buying it with two really good examples. Thank you.
