I love the contrast of a clean and simple birthday card with a splashy burst of color and pattern. Stampin’ Up! It’s My Party Designer Washi Tape makes that a snap on today’s 5″ x 5″ square card.
The inspiration for my layout is from this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO432).
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The “let us celebrate” sentiment and balloon are both from Balloon Celebration stamp set, one of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog.
- The Balloon Bouquet Punch makes cropping the balloon quick and easy. Save 15% when you purchase the Balloon Bouquet Punch and coordinating Balloon Celebration stamp set together as a bundle. See ALL Stampin’ Up! 15% off bundles.
- Glossy Mint Macaron It’s My Party Enamel Dots are the perfect touch. Don’t you love how everything coordinates?
- I created a custom envelope for this 5″ x 5″ square card using a striped pattern from It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack and the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board. Learn how to use the Envelope Punch Board in my tutorial here.
- I recommend using Fast Fuse Adhesive when creating custom envelopes. It has a stronger hold than Snail. Please be sure to watch this Stampin’ Up! video for helpful tips on using Fast Fuse Adhesive. There’s a learning curve!
- Hover and Pin it! Here’s a photo showing key products for today’s card that you can save or pin to Pinterest. See ALL my product photos in one spot on my How to Make Simple Cards board on Pinterest.

I sure appreciate your sweet sentiments!
I’m loving that balloon set too and gorgeous bright colours. x
Such a wonderful take on the sketch.
Now I have those stamps and you gave me inspiration to use them!
Why do I have to download photos now instead of copying them? I save photos for inspiration.
You should be able to drag them (Mac) or right click and save (PC). There’s also a feature to pin to Pinterest if you want to save them there.
Hi MsMary, I love that card, that’s my next bundle, inspired, love it all !!!
Hugs Frenchie ,
This card design/layout is so versatile! It also made me take notice of a stamp set that I had passed over! Thanks, Mary!
Mary, what a cute card.. I also like the softness of a clean and simple card with a little color.You always do a great job. Have a great Stamping day. Hugs,Elken Hinds
Thanks so much for your kind comments. Happy Monday!
Lots to love about this card!
I love that you extended the banners to be bands. The Washi Tape is perfect for that. Such a fun card with perfect placement of epoxy dots. 🙂
Mary, this Washi Tape is so festive and colorful and it’s a beautiful way to substitute the banners in the Mojo Monday sketch.
Love that the balloon string IS the sentiment, that is really fabulous.
Thank you for sharing.
LOVING how you took this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge and used Washi Tape for the banner pieces. SO STINKIN’ CUTE!
