Hey, Friends! Dawn here to share a fun project with you! I wanted to put that cute new Hey Honeycomb balloon die to use and create a birthday balloon cluster, pairing one of the Honeycomb Balls with a sentiment from Inflated Sentiments! Can we just talk about the color of that PINK honeycomb ball?!! Oh my word, I love it so much! I need that color in ink and card stock and all the things! LOL! And I love that when it’s opened it’s going to be such a fun — and unexpected — pop of color here, since that same color isn’t anywhere else on the card! It truly is as the stamp from the Hey Honeycomb Sentiments set says….”birthday surprise inside”!
I used the Ticker Tape rubber stamp to stamp the background. I wanted a subtle pop….not a major contrast that might distract from the focal point. But also not as subtle as like a Versamark would be. To achieve this, I used a dark gray ink but stamped it off once first, before stamping it on the card base.
I added a sweet flower from the Hey Honeycomb Flower Power die set, to accent one balloon, so each of them has its own fun details.
PRO TIP: I even used one of the flower dies from the same set, to create the leaves! I just cut a few of the petals apart and tucked them behind the flower and voila! Leaves!
A strip of glitter card stock at the bottom, upped the birthday fun factor, to finish things off!
Hope I’ve given you a bit of inspiration today! Get out those stamps and dies and have some fun, friends!

What a fun & colorful card and like you said Dawn, it comes with an extra surprise! I don’t have the pink honeycomb but from your pic, Concord and 9th’s Dragonfruit is the brightest pink in my collection. Thx for your birthday inspiration & Pro tip. 💖😊
Such a fun and colorful card! Love the way the colors pop against the kraft card stock, especially that amazing pink. Thanks for sharing!
