This week’s MWT is to use 3 of something on a card. I decided to make this cute birthday card using some fun balloon die cuts. And since I used different sizes and shapes of balloons, this card also works for the OWH Design Bootcamp Variety is the Spice of Life.

I also participated in the Cards in Envy challenge to Make Your Own Background. I used an embossing folder to make a cute cloud background to match my patterned paper. It doesn’t show in the picture, but I added Glossy Accents to the blue stars to give them a little shine.
