Simon Say Stamp - Birthday Background Cards Trio
Hello Lovelies! Do you ever have enough Birthday Cards in your stash? I love when you can get a "two-fer" card out of one diecut, but here we will use the Balloon Background Die from Simon Says Stamp's Good Luck Charm Release for a card trio!
We will take one sheet of A2 Holographic Rainbow Cardstock and do some paper-piecing with the Balloon Background to make our cards!
Simon Says Stamp has this paper in both A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") and Letter (8 1/2" x 11") and I especially like the A2 size as you can get the entire rainbow of color in a format perfect for the A2 cards that I make most often. In addition to paper and die-cuts, let's review the key supplies for this card.
Card Essentials:

BTW, did you notice the Simon has the cutest paw-print Triangle Trays for keeping your little bits together on your work surface and helping you get them back into their containers!
Time to bring on the balloons!!!
