I've been working through the stamp sets I bought when the new Catalog was released in May, and I realized that I really hadn't had a chance to use the extra large balloon dies from the Balloon Festoon bundle. When I purchased the set, I thought these would be perfect to make large balloon cards. The die easily cuts through two layers of pattern paper.
