Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #001 -Balloon Shaped Card

Today is the day! Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is having their very first challenge and the design team has created amazing projects for you to get inspiration from.

Our first challenge is to include a word and shape on your project:

the word is "Birthday"

the shape is a "Balloon"

Here is the card I made for the challenge. A balloon shaped card with layered party hat, and stars. I used the Celebrations Cricut cartridge for all images.


A simple Design Studio cut file available at the end of this post.

I tied the balloon using organdy ribbon but wanted to give it more of a curly effect.

Using my heat tool, I carefully waved it over the ribbon and the ribbon began to melt. The melting process happens very quickly so make sure the heat is not held on the ribbon to long.
I got just the look that I wanted for a curly balloon string effect.
I used tons of pop-dots to pop the pieces off the card.
