As I viewed this week's Featured Stamper Gallery, Leslie aka turnerl58, I chuckled at the cute images, laughed at some very clever sentiments, and found much to inspire. I was especially drawn to her CAS cards and decided on this gem: Happy Birthday from all of us by turnerl58 at Splitcoaststampers
Her party hats reminded me of the party balloon die I recently acquired. So I switched out the hats for balloons, but kept her overall design with two bands of patterned paper and a birthday greeting. Added the novo drops similar to her orange pearls.
I made these cards to donate to seniors for this month's Cards for a Cause. I could hear Jennifrann yelling at me all the way from Massachusetts to cut those balloons from glitter paper, but I wanted to keep this unisex for the project so I used dp instead. But I think she's right and the glitter paper would be very fun and festive. Because the die cuts 5 balloons I made five cards to add to the donation pile. Yay!
Congratulations Leslie on being this week's Featured Stamper. I so enjoyed browsing your Gallery and have marked a couple more to CASE in the future. I hope you enjoy your week in the spotlight and the cards you have inspired. Hope everyone has something to celebrate today even if it's something small. I am celebrating our weather because it means hubby wants to grill and I don't have to cook. Yay for me again! TFL.

I love the softness of this, Debbie. I think the dsp was a good choice, but you can still do another with glitter paper!!! LOL. Sweet card and sweet cause. You have so much heart. Hugz

It's always so heartwarming to send cards to Seniors .... they are so appreciative. These pretty balloon cards will be just the thing to add joy to their day!

Cute CAS design! Love how you switched it up but still maintained that festive feel. I think balloons make for a great all purpose birthday card. They are good to have on hand (or donate in your case...) My son asked me at the very last minute for a birthday card just yesterday. Thankfully, he is not very picky.

Love your case of Leslie's sweet card. Yes, glittery balloons are nice, but I like the subtly of yours, especially the patterned paper. Great for a masculine birthday card. Your Nuvo drops are a great addition!
