Layering Circles Birthday Card Details
This rainbow of color is created easily using the Layering Circles Dies. Die cut graduated sizes, layer them together and cut them in half. Splitting up the focal point is key to this unique and impressive layout!
The Rainbow Glimmer Paper is one of those products that doesn’t get enough ‘air time’ in my opinion. The gorgeous ombre colors and glitter-free mess make die cutting a breeze.

Layering circles birthday cards aren’t the only type of cards you can create with this unique layout. This card uses the beautiful Poinsettia Place Designer Paper layered with Red Velvet Paper.
