Sweet sentiments are very nice to have, but I do love funny, or even a bit snarky, greetings and sentiments. And, that’s what the Stampin’ Up! Balloon Bash Stamp Set has to offer in a couple of the birthday stamps.
“Light ‘Em Up!” cracks me up! My older brother is so getting this card for his birthday. It may just the part of me that enjoys sarcastic humor, to me it reads “Holy smokes! That’s a lot of candles to go on your birthday cake!”
I saved the other stamp for the inside sentiment. I absolutely read “#You’re Welcome” with a bit of attitude. How else can you read it before a thank you is offered? Stinkin’ funny. You can see another birthday card that I used and another a friend made the same stamp for the greeting.
His card envelope will sport another birthday greeting included with the Balloon Bash Stamp Set. Looking good. That stamp, too, could easily be used quite nicely for the greeting. Can’t you see it with a balloon or two or three? Oh, yeah. The Balloon Bash Stamp Set does, indeed, have some balloon stamps too. 🙂
You’ll also find balloons, and other patterns, in the coordinating Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Series Paper. The camera picked up some shine from the gold foil balloons. As always, even prettier in person.
The Balloon Bash Stamp Set and Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper are both from the 2015 Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog. That are only available through the end of the catalog, June 2, 2015.
You will not find them on the 2015 Stampin’ Up! Retiring List with the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies because that list is just for stamp sets and accessories retiring from the 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up! Catalog.
I called Stampin’ Up! to verify the Occasions Catalog products are all to be available through June 2. The answer was yes. I hope that holds to be true. Only because in the past I have seen a couple of accessories sell out before the catalog ended. If I hear or learn anything different, I will certainly let you know.
So, the Window Frames Framelits Dies are available through June 2, 2015, unless the supplies run out first. At 50% off (!!!), they could sell out any time.
If you’d like to make this card, the three products you want to order right away in my online store www.shopwithshelly.com are the Balloon Bash Stamp Set, Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Series Paper and Window Frames Framelits Dies.

Stamping Smiles,
Please do me a favor. I know we’re all excited about the 2015-2016 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. Even so, every year I get emails from those who missed the last day to order from the current annual catalog and seasonal catalog. Give another good look at the stamps and accessories from the 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up! Catalog and 2015 Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog to be sure you’ve ordered everything you want.
