Simon Says Stamp - A2 Nesting Frames Birthday Card

Hello Lovelies! Birthdays have me thinking of cake, confetti and...glitter??? Why not, especially when you can make your own custom colored glitter cardstock.

You can buy an array of ready-made colored glitter cardstock but if I can save time, paper and money coloring my own for small die-cuts, then it's a no-brainer for me!

Time for Key Supplies!

Though a craft hoarder like me has a variety of Simon Says Stamp Glitter Cardstock, I like to stock up on the white for projects like this where I want to make my own colors!
