Giant Happy Birthday

Elena’s Shaker Balloon Birthday Party

It’s time for another brilliant party idea with Elena! This time she created a birthday party with balloons and clever shakers!

This festive birthday party combines balloons, shaker elements and bright cheery colors!

Elena started with a Stitched Party Banner cut from Twinkling Cream paper from the Let It Shine Starry Skies collection. Then she cut a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Square Window from the banner, covering the opening with acetate. She used foam tape and another piece of paper to create the pocket for the shaker bits. And then she added a layered Giant Happy Birthday greeting over the acetate window.

To make the balloons for the banner, Elena used Stitched Balloon Frames and Outside In Stitched Balloon Stackables with more acetate and foam tape.

The cupcake toppers are so creative! I love how she used Tiny Gift Box to look like the balloons are popping up out of the box!


For these smaller balloons, Elena used Party Balloons Lawn Cuts dies and Textured Canvas cardstock. To make the wavy white balloon, she cut one balloon with Ocean Wave Borders, then she glued the pieces to a solid balloon.

A little piece of acetate holds the Tiny Gift Box lid open and stabilizes the balloons!

The party favors feature more balloons on a Goodie Bag!


For the drink bottles, Elena added a Twinkling Cream band to the bottle before decorating with more shakers and star balloons.

This birthday party decor is so brilliant, Elena! I love how you included the shaker elements! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!

Jessica Spencer is back with a great idea for making a unique set of birthday cards!

Jessica took her color cues from our Watercolor Wishes Rainbow papers, using them to die cut the Giant Happy Birthday! Then she used coordinating colors of Spiffy Speckles papers on each monochromatic design! She cut a second Giant Happy Birthday from Black Licorice cardstock as a shadow so the greeting stands out!

Those adorable Tiny Birthday Friends look like they belong in a 50s TV series! Jessica used Toner Gray Copic markers (T1, T3, T5), to color the little images so they have that old classic television look!

Jessica used the Snowy Sky Stencil to add some interest to the background with sparkle embossing paste. To finish her card set, she added a sentiment from Simply Celebrate, and then sprinkled some color coordinated sequins on the cards!

Thanks so much for sharing this clever card set with us today, Jessica!
