I need plenty of birthday cards and the Stampin’ Up! Bright and Beautiful Suite has all the components to make some birthday magic happen. I adore how the star pattern on the balloon coordinates with the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper (15% off thru June 30) tucked behind.
WHAT I LOVE! It’s the little things that often define a card. A touch of baker’s twine on the balloon and a little bling from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack turn on the WOW! Factor!
