Hello there! I’m back once again with Papertrey Ink for our third group post featuring the new balloon products from this release.I used the large balloon die from the Shaker Shapes: Balloon dies to create a mask and blending in soft subtle color.
I did some ink blending as well on the die cut sentiment and added the balloon strings using the fun new Balloon Strings dies.
I used my balloon mask and added a couple more ink blended balloons on the inside of the card along with a sentiment from the new Tucked In: Birthday.
This next card used the Cover Plate: Balloon Bash die for the background and then the Enclosed: Cupcake stamps & dies for the cupcake.
I did more ink blending on the cupcake and added an embossed sentiment from the Hooray stamp set.
Check out what the rest of the team created using these fun new balloon products.

You’ve done it again, these are beautiful. I love that balloon card, I just love it! The subtle colors are so pretty. Tet cupcake is adorable and that cover plate die is perfect.
Wow! You always make the new PTI products shine, Laura! Beautiful cards! ♥
Lovely cards!
I have yet to learn how to do this masking and shading–it looks like you create magic! Gorgeous work!
Balloons always make me smile.
Having just completed Mask-erade I immediately thought about masking the balloon when I saw the preview and I am not surprised that you did that exact thing. Great cards!
Gorgeous cards, Laura! And I thought I didn’t ‘need’ any more birthday sets…there goes my budget!
SQUEAL!! LOVING LOVING LOVING these!! Just AMAZING Balloons!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
Love the balloons and all the cup cakes we can eat! Yummy 🎉
Drop dead gorgeous….love the size of these balloons and, of course, the way you blended them it.
Fabulous blending on the balloons and icing.
Your blended color balloons look so realistic and love that they are also inside the card. Very nice!

Beautiful cards, great job blending those balloons–just awesome!
I LOVE ALL three cards….absolutely creative and colorful and fun. The greeting in the balloon BD card is so sweet….just right for the design and color of the card. And I love the backdrop of the cupcake card. I’m also so amazed with the card w/the anchors…so simple and yet attractive. You ALWAYS hit the bull’s eye on the creative target….spot on! Thanks so much for sharing yourself with us!
