We were talking about our tendencies to hoard designer paper in class this week, but the word “hoard” has negative connotations, so instead let’s say “treasure”. The conversation made me feel sheepish about the specialty sheets in the Balloon Bash series. Why haven’t I used those beautiful embossed gold foil sheets? They shouldn’t be stashed away…they should be on a project!
This is a 15 minute (or less!) card, but thanks to the specialty papers, it looks fancy. That’s the trade-off. Yes, you are parting with that yummy paper, but the result is a showy card that is easy to make.
Here’s a better look at the paper – some of the balloons on the designer paper are shiny gold like the large gold foil balloon on the left. You can see that there isn’t much to this card, but the materials make it impressive.
Thanks for looking! Have a great day!
