Paper Hot Air Balloons

I finally made one for me to keep. I've lost count of how many have been made as birthday and newborn gifts. I've made a few modifications to the file since the first one I made. I made the side panels of the balloon a bit longer. The sides are from SVG Cuts teapot. The basket was adapted from the base of SVG Cuts cupcake box, with the top half of the side panels removed. I used a white core cardstock for the basket and lightly sanded it after embossing. The pennant shapes were created in Adobe Illustrator and saved as svg files.
