Happy Birthday Balloons Vellum Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello, again my friends! 

I am back again today with another birthday balloon shaker card done with vellum featuring the cute Mini Balloon Dog Stamps. Make sure you are following me on Instagram as I will share a Reel on how this fun card came together.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin, I ink-blended the balloon for the background using the Birthday Balloons Duo Stencils in rainbow colors.
• Then I created the shaker pocket using vellum. The vellum was cut half inch larger than the panel. I then trimmed the corners, and creased the edges along the perimeter of the panels to create the flaps for the pocket. To the flaps/tabs I added a strip of Crafty Adhesive Tape and secured 3 of the 4 tabs to the panel, leaving the top open. 
• Pour the Dots Glitter into the vellum pocket and then secure the last tab down to seal the shaker closed.

• At this point, I had forgotten to stamp the sentiment first on the front of the vellum. Luckily the filler for the shaker was pretty flat so I was able to stamp the sentiment onto the pocket without any issues. Normally I would have done this step first before creating the pocket. The sentiment I used comes from the Mini Balloon Dog Stamps and then I heat set the black ink so it wouldn't smudge.
• Glue the shaker panel to a card base.
• Next, I stamped out the Mini Balloon Dog Stamps onto Bristol paper, colored them using Karin Brush Pro markers, and then die-cut them with their coordinating Mini Balloon Dog Dies.
• Glue the balloon dogs to the front of the shaker and then draw some balloon strings. To add highlights I used a white gel pen and added a black dot to give them eyes.
• To finish this card I used black twine to create small bows and glued them to each of the dog's necks. 

I hope this cute Happy Birthday Balloons Vellum Shaker Card inspired you today. I think I may be a little obsessed with these Mini Balloon Dog Stamps and they are just the perfect price point too if you are looking for a lot of bang for your buck!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
