Video + Giveaway: 10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash Blog Hop – Balloon Card

Hi! Today I am part of a fun blog hop celebrating the birthday of the 10 Minute Craft Dash. Lots of amazing gals are contributing – be sure to hop along the way! And there will be giveaways, including some spots to our OCC classes.

The challenge? To make a birthday card in under 10 minutes. And I can’t believe I was able to pull it off! Here is a video showing how to create a quick balloon-shaped card. Lila is *fascinated* with balloons, so she has been carrying it around…

That American Crafts POW paper is perfect for cards. It is verrrry subtle glitter and does not rub off one bit. Woot!

This card was quick to make, thanks to die cutting. I used “happy” dies from Memory Box, Simon Says Stamp and My Favorite Things

I also used Matte Multi Medium to force that string to stay loopy and fun. Works like a charm!

The next person on the hop is Leigh Penner. (Be sure to head there – she has a fun blog with lots of ideas!) If you want to start at the beginning, head over to the 10 Minute Craft Dash blog.
