Hello! There’s a celebration happening over at Hero Arts with their latest kit – Yay Day. It’s all about birthdays and celebrations!

Contents of the regular kit:
- Happy Birthday Die Set
- Big Present Die Set
- Birthday Icons Stamp & Cut
- Tiny Tags Die Set
- 10 Sheets of Cardstock – 1 of each color, 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Blush, Tutu, Dahlia, Chiffon, Coral, Carrot, Beeswax, Saffron, Seaside, Waterfall)
PLUS, these items exclusive to the Super Hero Kit:
- Big Balloon Shaker Die Set
- A Train Alpha Die Set
- Make a Wish Stamp & Cut
I used the balloon shaker elements in the Super Hero Kit to create a 5×7 card.

First, I die several pieces of the balloon frame from the shaker card dies. I overlapped them and then adhered several layers of Cardstock to make it thick enough for a shaker. The thickness would really depend on what you will use for your shaker bits. Then I cut two pieces of the whole balloon on acetate and layered it on top. I also trimmed off the middle area where the two balloons meet.

Next, I die cut one piece of the balloon frame using Waterfall cardstock and one piece using Tutu Cardstock and adhered on top of the acetate. I trimmed the area where the two meet but this is optional.
Then I filled all the areas with shaker bits. I used some round clay bits of different colors as my shaker elements. This came from an older MMH kit.
Then I use the left over circles from the frame cut outs to close up the back using some washi tape so the buts would not fall out.

Next, I adhered it to a panel of Alabaster cardstock cut to 1/4″ smaller on all sides to fit a 5×7 panel of Lavender cardstock. I added the balloon string in Lavender for the pink balloon and Mint for the blue balloon just to tie everything together (pardon the pun!)
To finish off the card, I stamped the stars with Lemon Drop reactive ink and the Happy Birthday in Splash reactive ink.
I will share more inspiration with you using the kit.
Thank you so much for dropping by!
Have a wonderful crafty day!
Til next time!
