As you are ready to stamp using the Beautiful Balloons Set, place the cardstock or designer paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the streamer image from the Beautiful Balloons Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Bubble Bath Ink Pad. Stamp at at an angle across the top of the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle as shown. The image will go off the top and right edges. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the streamer image on Block I with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp at at an angle across the top of the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle as shown. The image will go off the top and right edges. Re-ink the stamp with the Berry Burst Ink Pad again and stamp it again on the top of the rectangle as shown so the image goes off the top and left edges. Clean the stamp and put it away.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Beautiful Balloons Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the horizontal, diagonal stripes Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper rectangle.
Adhere the sentiment stamped designer paper rectangle to the bottom of the stamped white rectangle so about 1/16" of white shows on the left, right, and bottom edges.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the stamped cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it covers the top seam between the two pieces. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the white rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Berry Burst card.
Pick out the set of three connected balloons die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. Put it on top of the white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Place the balloons cut out on top of some Grid Paper on top of the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Mount the large, solid balloon image from the Beautiful Balloons Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the large balloon space on the balloons cut out.
Mount the medium, solid balloon image from the Beautiful Balloons Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Bubble Bath Ink Pad. Stamp it over the medium balloon space on the balloons cut out.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off the small balloon space on the balloons cut out.
Adhere the stamped large and medium balloons cut out to the front of the card as shown so the left edge is about 1/4" from the left side of the card and the bottom of the big balloon is just below the bottom of the ribbon.
Pick out the small, open balloon die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. Put it on top of the small, pink ombre piece of Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the small balloon cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the ribbon and the bottom right side of the large and small balloons cut out.
Pick out the solid tassel die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. Put it on top of the small Berry Burst rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use a small dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen at the top of the tassel cut out to adhere it to the front of the card so it is hanging at a slight angle from the bottom of the big balloon.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front. Tie in place with a half knot so it is centered between the right side of the small balloon cut out and the right side of the card. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a small Petal Pink sequin from the sheet of Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the top of the tassel at the base of the big balloon.
