Birthday Card Idea - Layers of Wishes

If you have fancy-edged scissors, use them to give your paper edges a fanciful border. If not, you can always choose to tear your papers to give it a torn look.

Enjoy using up your little paper scraps!

Card Making Steps

1. Create a cardblank with the purple cardstock.

2. Cut out a block from yellow cardstock. Layer different patterned papers on top of each other. Give them big-scalloped or small-scalloped borders. Adhere them to the yellow block.

3. Wrap a strip of twill tape around the top of this colorful block and tie a knot at the front, left-hand side. Attach this colorful block to the center of the cardblank.

4. Cut out a small strip of red cardstock. Attach alphabet stickers to spell "happy" on the strip. Adhere this strip to the card as shown.

5. Cut out a small strip of orange cardstock. Handwrite the word "BIRTHday" on it. Adhere this strip to the card as shown.
