First Card for 2015

Unlike last year, I'm attempting to get a jump on some card making for 2015 - and it's just the first week of January!!

Two friends have birthdays this week, so I thought I'd try out a new die set for their cards.  This is the "Balloons Step-Ups" set done by Stephanie Barnard for Sizzix.  The card base, balloons and sentiment are all in this set.  The stars are "Stitched Stars" by L'il Inker Designs.
