I adore this fun and flirty fringe created using the die from the Beautiful Balloons Bundle, part of the Stampin’ Up! Bright & Beautiful Suite. And there’s so much more birthday “magic” to be made with the dies and stamps. The entire collection is available for purchase now as part of the new Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
WHAT I LOVE ! Texture can make such a statement. These fringed layers remind me of a piñata. How perfect for a birthday card!

PROJECT TUTORIAL:
Begin by burnishing the fold of the Basic White Thick card base with a Bone Folder.
Adhere the Misty Moonlight layer to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the fringe die to crop SIX strips from the full sheet of Bright and Beautiful DSP.
Adhere to the Basic White layer, starting at the bottom and layering until all 6 strips are adhered as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere the Bright & Beautiful DSP layer to the top of the Basic White layer (above the fringe) with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Paper Trimmer to cut down to 3 3/4 x 5.
Double wrap the seam with Orchid Oasis 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine, securing with a bow as shown.
Adhere to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Clear Block D to stamp the balloon confetti (Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set) in Bubble Bath and the sentiment in Misty Moonlight.
Crop the stamped image and the two other balloons from the DSP with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the coordinating Beautiful Balloon dies.
Adhere all three balloons as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.

Me, too! I need to use those fringe scissors! Hope I can make it look as even and neat! 🙂
Mary, you are so clever to use the DSP to make the ombre fringe. It is an adorable card. Enjoy your day!
