Still looking for the perfect gift or a stocking stuffer?!

Hello creative friends, Happy DieCember® 20th! We’ve been having such a great time here at Simon celebrating the love of all things die cutting and we hope you have, too! Today I am using products from our popular DieCember® 1st release to make a rainbow, die cut birthday card. This card features absolutely no stamping, just a bit of stenciling behind the balloons for a colorful effect. Shall we jump in?!

I used the Bunch of Balloons die to cut a window into an A2 card panel; in addition, I also cut the balloons from some glitter cardstock to serve as the outline on my window. The window looks into a sequin-filled shaker and a rainbow background that I created with our Simon exclusive Pawsitively Saturated Inks, I Like Big Dots stencil and Fading Circles stencil.

On top of the shaker are some streamers I made with Streamer Ribbons die (also from DieCember®), and the Big Happy Birthday die. The birthday greeting is also embellished with a bit of glitter for a dip-dye effect.

Want to learn how I made this card? Be sure to watch the video below for all the details!
