My eldest grandson turned 17 last week and I thought I would share the card I made for him. I cut a piece of Basic White card into two pieces on the diagonal. I stamped the greeting from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of one panel before embossing the panels using one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. I attached the embossed panels to Night of Navy card and then scored and folded Thick Basic White card. I stamped the largest balloon from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto Basic White card using Balmy Blue ink.

I stamped the large confetti balloon onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I stamped the medium sized balloon from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I cut the large balloon out using the co-ordinating Beautiful Balloons Die. I cut the confetti balloon out using the medium sized balloon die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies and the Night of Navy balloon using the smallest balloon die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. I stamped the ribbon image from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set onto Basic White card once using Balmy Blue ink and twice using Night of Navy ink. The ribbon images were cut out using the co-ordinating Beautiful Balloons Die. I attached the Night of Navy ribbons behind the two smaller balloons using dimensionals. I attached the Balmy Blue ribbon behind the largest Balloon using multipurpose glue. I attached the images to the card front using dimensionals under the two smaller balloons only. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped “happy” from the happy birthday stamp in the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I used the numbers in the Alphabest stamp set to stamp “17” onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I used the retired 3/4″ circle punch to punch out the number and the retired 1″ circle punch to punch Night of Navy card. I attached the two circles together and attached the panel below the “happy”. I stamped “birthday” from the happy birthday stamp from the Enjoy The Rhythm stamp set below the number using Night of Navy ink.
