Simple Stories Cardmaking with Shari
Hi everyone! It’s Shari here with a birthday card idea for you using some Simple Stories products along with new items from the Simon Says Stamp Spring release.
I love pairing things together and Simple Stories has made it easy with their collections that can be mixed and matched. For my card I created a window by using the Simon Says Stamp Balloon die… then layered it with acetate and fun elements on top.
By adding a window of acetate behind the die cut balloon, I was able to suspend the die cut Happy Birthday.
Tip: Coat your twine with Matte Medium or Glossy Accents then wrap the ends around a paint brush or straw for a bit of curl.
I’ve shot a video of how I put this card together, hope you enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by today, have a fantastic week!

Shari I love the card and your instructions are so clear I think I will attempt to make a similar card. Thank you for the video and for the opportunity to maybe win some blog candy.
Great idea that can be used with other shapes. I like doing window and shaker cards. I think they take homemade cards to a new dimension.

Great card. I love the idea of using acetate to hold the die cut. You can bet I’ll be using that trick soon! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
