Over the past few years, a new and exciting style of deliverable design has emerged – Balloon Stacks, or Balloon Bouquets.
The Evolution of Balloon Bouquets over Time ⏰? Back in the day (we're talking many years ago ?), a balloon bouquet was simply a bunch of helium-filled latex and foil balloons tied together and securely fastened to a weight. Nowadays, balloon bouquets have become much more sophisticated. These stacks are creatively arranged and have a unique blend of colours, techniques and designs that make them a perfect fit for any occasion.

Disclaimer: I am not a licensing law expert, but want to share my thoughts regarding the recent surge in 'Barbie' posts on social media platforms. This post may help prevent a few businesses from encountering legal issues.

The Barbie craze has only grown stronger over the years, and especially with the release of the new Barbie movie, there are now endless options for Barbie-themed merchandise, props, balloons, and cutouts for parties, events, and decorations.

Who doesn't love to create special moments for their children and grandchildren?
During the pandemic, I started a tradition to create something special for my granddaughter, Alexa, each year. Despite the challenges, I was determined to make her feel loved and appreciated on her special day. For her fifth birthday, we couldn't gather indoors as a group, but we made the best of it by celebrating outside. I created a beautiful framed number "Five" which became one of my most popular posts ever! The following year, on her sixth birthday, I crafted a stunning mosaic fish for her and added a la ..read more

Like many of you, I use a Silhouette Cameo to personalise my balloons. However, I often find it challenging to come up with creative designs using the Cameo software, so, I decided to use CANVA instead. I find it more user-friendly, and I already use it for other design projects, so why not for my balloons too!
I have made a quick Step-by-Step video to show you how simple this is to do. It was a bit of a life changer for me, as it makes creative personalisation so much quicker and easier!
Here are a few extra bits of information that may not be clear from the video.
