Hello FPTFY Readers! Isn’t Keren just super fabulous? Her crafts are always incredibly inspiring and her freebie goodies so beautiful. I count myself completely blessed that I can call her a good friend. So hi there! My name is Jessica and I write the blog Two Shades of Pink. I also craft for a local magazine called Good Living which is loads of fun. One of the issues, I was asked to do thank you cards for the Thanksgiving issue and I came up with this balloon pocket card…
The beauty of this card is that you can use it for ANY occasion. So today I am going to share with you how to make one for Mother’s Day that is a bit more girly but just as much fun!!

First we need our templates and our supplies. I created the card template for you as well as some tag templates. I aslo used Amy Butler’s Paper scrapbook paper but use whatever you like!
You really don’t need a circle punch but if you have one…great!
Let’s get started…
This one will be your front pocket.
(The ribbon will finish off the top edge of your pocket)
(This is the back of your pocket)

The card part is now done! Now for the balloon message…
I think the “Excuse me…I need some air” tag is hilarious and would elicit a smile from anyone who reads it!
This is really easy to make and a great idea for multiple cards like birthday invites, baby gender announcements (how funny would it be to write “It’s a girl!” on a blue balloon?), or shower invitations. The sky is the limit!
I am so happy and thankful Keren let me visit and share with you this card. Please feel free to stop by (twoshadesofpink.com) and say hello anytime. I would LOVE it if you let me know if you ever make this card…I would be so excited to see it!
Hugs to all of you!
xoxo
Jessica

This is such a cute idea! Thanks for the free printable and tutorial. I just found your blog while blog hopping around. I pinned this on Pinterest and going to check our more of your stuff. : )
This is very cute, however I didn’t have any luck with the balloon writing. I tried writing with different pens and a sharpie but once the balloon is deflated the ink gathers together and smears or just comes right off. I tried drying the inflated balloon and then drying the deflated but nothing worked and I wasted a pack of balloons. Did you check yours for smearing?
Ummm.. lets see… I THINK Jessica used a regular Ball point pen.. I will call her and ask her to make sure tho! :)
same thing happened to me… :( I could not make it work…I was so sad!
Love this, thinking of using w/my class to make Mother’s Day cards. Where did you find the latex-free balloons? And I would love to know the answer to Tallya’s questions about the writing on the balloon. Thanks!
Beautiful! And love your blog, I just headed over to your fanpage on Facebook to become a fan. I will for sure blog about this super cute mothers day idea. So freakin creative!
