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!

Thanks for the great video.
I need two birthday cards for my great nieces(twins) and I need to make them today so I came here hoping for some inspiration. And here is a great birthday card by Shari. I picked up some great tips and though I don’t have the balloon die set, I found the great inspiration, that I was hoping for. Thanks Shari!
Too cute!!! great inspiration!!!!
A gorgeous card! I really love the clean look, but those few embellishments take the card to the next level.
I’ve bought several embellishment packs here and there, but I often find myself at a loss on how and where to use them. Seeing cards like this one is very inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing, and for posting a video of your process.
Beautiful card! I love the acetate trick to float the die cut words!

Love the look of acetate and thanks for showing how to do it. Great card and fun paper.
The balloon dies are a must have – so many possibilities with them! Thanks for the video, Shari!
Another FABULOUS card by Shari!!! ♥ Love the look the acetate gives!
Really fun card!! Love the die cut greeting over the acetate. Reminds me of a neon tube sign…only in white. Wonder what that would look like in neon red???? Fantastic!!
