1 blank card and envelope
1 square, solid color paper smaller than the card face
1 long rectangular decorative paper (smaller than the card again and with at least one matching color to the solid piece)
Paper flower
Gem stone
Glitter
MAKE IT
1. Place the longer, rectangular, patterned paper piece on the face of the card and glue it to the lower half.
2. On the solid, square piece, either stamp or hand-write "Happy Birthday" or any other message you want to send. Glue the squared solid pice towards the right side (or left), partly on top of the patterned piece. Make sure there's enough space for the flower your paper flower.
3. Either make the flower or buy it made on clearance. To make it just cut a flower pattern from cardstock with long, lean petals. It's easier to use a craft blade to avoid bending and creasing. Cut our smaller versions of the same pattern and layer on top of each other and glue. Also, put glue around only tips of flower petals and sprinkle glitter on top of a creased paper to avoid a mess. Don't forget to shake off excess and return leftover glitter to your container.
4. Place one glue dot on the back and center of the flower and glue it to the card. Make sure it's sturdy after it dries. Now, place your gem at the center of your flower. You're done!
