Let's Make Cards: Issue 8 Pack

Birthday Bouquet

Trim a purple blank to a height of 10.5cm. Add the birthday vellum panel and to the left-hand side a torn strip of plain vellum. Cut a small vase shape with an angled top from purple corrugated card.

Add double-sided tape to the back of the vase and attach short lengths of silver wire. Stick onto the plain vellum strip and use mini glue dots to add purple flower sequins, silver centres and a few clear sequins.

Knot two lengths of thin purple ribbon, snip the ends neatly and stretch it across the front of the card so the knot is positioned in front of the vase. Secure the ends on the reverse with tape. Add a small vellum 'Happy Birthday' greeting tag.

Bouquet Tag

Trim a tag measuring 6.5cm x 5.5cm from a purple blank. Add plain torn vellum folding round the edges and securing on the reverse. Make a vase shape similar to the one for the card but smaller and add silver wire strips and sequins in the same way. Finish with a small vellum greeting.

Top Tips

Use a product called Invisi-dots for Vellum (£3.99 http://www.gluedotsuk.co.uk for stockists) to secure your vellum invisibly
