Hello, crafty friends. I recently took THIS class from Online Card Classes and was inspired by a lesson taught by Laura Bassen…

To create this card, I started by die cutting the front of an A2 sized gray cardstock with the last curved piece (of the design) from THIS die set. I die cut all the pieces from colored cardstock and adhered them against the edge that was cut. I stamped the sentiments from THIS stamp set and used THESE coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next, I die cut some of THESE balloon dies from the same colored cardstock and stamped the sentiment on them from the stamp stamp set. I stamped the strings from THIS stamp set. I adhered the balloons to the outside and the inside.

This is a trifold card. So, I adhered another A2 gray note card to the inside of the first card.When you open the front panel, you see this panel…

And when you open that panel, it reveals the inside…

I added a few of THESE stars cut from THIS specialty cardstock. I adhered them to the inside and the front of the card.
I used THIS stencil to emboss the flap of the envelope using THIS mat in my die cut machine.

After embossing, I applied ink through the stencil to make the design stand out more.
