    Fill a plastic pot with sweets and turn it into a birthday hot air balloon!

    This project uses a Stampin' Up treat cup, but you could use any small transparent pot to make your sweetie-filled balloon!

    You will need

    Basic card kit, plus...

    • Blue card blank
    • Red, blue, green & white card
    • Red brads
    • It’s Your Day stamp set & Treat cup, from Stampin’ Up!
    • Circle punch
    • Sweets
    • Black ink pads

     

    Step 1

    Take a white card panel and punch or cut a circle at the top. Add different coloured sweets to the treat cup and place it in the punched-out hole.

    Step 2

    Snip a basket shape and decorate it with shapes cut from coloured card. Glue the basket under the treat cup and doodle on ropes using a black pen. 

    Step 3

    Doodle a line around the edge of the treat cup. Add doodle lines to create a border around the white panel and add red brads to the corners.

    Step 4

    Layer the white card to the other card panels, then add to the card blank.

    Step 5

    Stamp your greeting to the bottom right-hand side of the card using a black ink pad.
