I made a shaped card using Simon Says Stamp's Balloons Dies and coordinating Birthday Messages mini stamp set. You can also buy these together as the Balloon Sentiments Die & Stamp Set. I love these balloons! The patterned papers are from Pink Paislee's Color Wash paper pad (front) and Heidi Swapp's Dreamy paper pad (back of shaker).
The Happy Birthday die cut that forms the window for my shaker is from the Little B Block Out die set that I also used in this recent post. They were an instant addiction and I want to use them on everything! To finish the card, I tied some pretty ombre cord in coordinating colours to the base of the balloon.
One winner will be chosen at random to win a $50 gift voucher to the awesome Simon Says Stamp Store!
I hope you will play along with us this week!

hi Emily, this is such a fun card, luv the balloon shape! hope you have a super fun weekend!
sparkle & shine *~*
I so love your card, Emily. I saw it on the SSS challenge blog yesterday and again on the SSS blog just now. I thought you added the watercolour look yourself, but I now see you totally faked it with this fabulous designer paper LOL.
Cannot wait for my Block Out dies to arrive, even though I had no idea the sentiments would be this big. That is one of the drawbacks of having to order everything online (and those pesky imperial measurement units).
Such a sweet and fun card. Thank you for the tutorial. I am just learning to make these and you gave me good ideas.
I really like the fun balloon shape of your card, but adding a shaker inside of the sentiment is the coolest idea! Love this!!
Shaped AND a shaker! Such an awesome card... and beautiful papers to show off the design.
You are the Master of watercolor BGs! SUPER fun shaker!
Such cool design! Love your card!
Happy 4th of July, hugs, Karin
This die set is one of my favorites, thank you so much for this awesome card and reminder to use that die set more often.
What a beautiful card! I LOVE that balloon shape! And the die cut sentiment is genius as the window shaker part!!! So smart!
Holy! This is so awesome Emily! You're such a clever crafter :)
very cool shaped card!!
Oooh, I clicked on this from MFW ... SO STRIKING!! Love your balloon-shaped shaker card!
