Um....me.
Ok, I love the idea of balloons. They are so cheerful, cute, and whimsical. But honestly, they creep me out. They float around on their own, they are at every store check stand so my kids would always beg for them, and they EXPLODE! Nope, I will take a clown over a ballon any day.
But the Celebrate Today stamp set has me rethinking my distaste. These little balloons do none of the things I dislike about their full size, 3D counterparts. So that just makes them cheerful, cute and whimsical!
And when you swap out the string for a basket, a whole new image of adventure comes to mind. That makes this set so versatile. It goes way beyond birthday and kids to more grown up celebrations like weddings and travel. Here are a few items I came up with using this set.
These next two used the Irresistably Yours paper from the 2015 Sale-A-Bration catalog. I just stamped the balloon on the resist paper, wiped off the excess ink, and used the Ballons framelits to cut out multiple (4 to 6 depending on a full or half circle balloon) balloons to glue together to make the 3D effect.
Now these are balloons for everyone to love!
