For my project, I used the brand new Celebrate Balloons Dies. Balloons are always a go-to for any celebratory card, so their versatility is a big win! Plus, I super love the big balloons. 🙂

For this card, I die cut a bunch of balloons, and blended a little ink on each. Then I piled them on and added this cute little Bee from Courteous Cuties with the sentiment from Courteous Cuties 2 (and their dies). I think this Bee is ridiculously cute! Buzzzzz! 🙂

I thought it would be fun to make another project for today. I kept this one simple by just using my favorite balloon from the new Celebrate Balloon dies and the You Are Loved die.

Oh goodness, I love googley eyes. 🙂 (This little smiley is from the Market Fresh set, which I believe has been retired.)

Thanks for stopping by today! I can’t wait to make more fun! All smiles! 🙂 🙂

Take care- Jill 🙂
