Birthday Balloons - Gift Card Holder

It's always fun to get money for your birthday, isn't it? This is a card I made that has a place for a gift card or cash to put in behind the front flap. I've made these cards before, so it was fun to make another one using this new set called Birthday Balloons that comes as a Suite or a Bundle. The 6" x 6" Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper is just what it says. It makes the birthday card very cheerful and fun!

Stamp Set: Beautiful Balloons

Cardstock: Azure Afternoon, Basic White, 6” x 6” Bright & Beautiful DSP

Ink: Azure Afternoon

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Beautiful Balloons Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Festive Pearls
