Are you looking for a fun background to use on your birthday cards? This word puzzle is perfect for the job. It comes blank if you want your recipient to find the words but also includes the answer key which I used here on my card. Then I used the little animal balloons to add some colors.

This is one of my favorite cards I created with the new Happy Day Balloons clear set. I used the smiley faces from the Sentiment Tiles Heartfelt Thoughts and then added the lizard/newt on the square Mylar balloon from the Desert Tiles Unexpected Wonder. Then I chose to keep the color pallet simple and bright and use a new rectangle die to complete the look. It was quick to put together yet I think it has a great impact.

I’m not sure where I was going with this card but knew I wanted to use lots of gray and white. Somehow the glitter ended up on there and now it’s everywhere around my desk too – so in way because of that, this card matches my mood. Next time I would do a few things different but this will still work for a birthday card. I enjoyed this combination of stamps and I think these balloons are the perfect size – small enough to add many on a card and large enough to catch your attention! Plus, all the tiles clear stamps fit inside – bonus!!

It’s your happy day and you rock! I used the two new tiles sets released yesterday to create this fun shaker birthday themed card. The sentiments fit perfectly inside the balloons as do all the tiles sets too. This one even uses the smiley face included in the Sentiment Tiles Heartfelt Thoughts clear set which floats above the rest.

Are you familiar with all the Animal Tiles, Ocean Tiles and Dessert Tiles from Whimsy Stamps? Well, you’re never going to believe this… well, you probably already do but I’ll tell you anyway. Today was the release of two new clear sets to add to that collection, Happy Day Balloons and Sentiment Tiles Heartfelt Thoughts. But the best part is that they all coordinate with each other and all the tiles can fit within the three balloon shapes. I’ll tell you this is most exciting for me and I’ve enjoyed creating and coloring the cards for the next few days. Check out my first card!

Hay neighbor, do you need a hand over there? I have a barrel full of tools and I’m on my way. This card uses the Fill a Stuff Jam Packed clear set and I combined it with the Fill a Wheel Barrel set to create the center focus. The rest of the card was created with a masculine focus and I stayed away from flowers, ribbons, glitter and other feminine stuff. However, sometimes I feel that means I can’t use ovals and light colors too – do you feel the same way? It’s hard sometimes to define what a masculine card should look like but I think this one kinda fits in that category.
