instructions

1. Birthday - 1. Take a sheet of lavender card and make a rectangular blank for the base. Fix the leaves border sticker in the centre of the card to act as a stem for the flower shape.
   
   2. Using an oval punch, create six petals for the flower from patterned paper. Fold them in half and turn in each end, 3mm - 4mm. Punch two circles from patterned paper and stick the smaller one on top.
   
   3. Apply a layer of glue to the small folded end of each petal and stick to the underside of the circle to form a flower shape as shown here.
   
   4. Add a flower sticker to the centre of the circle. Print off ‘Birthday’ onto white card using a computer. Trim and add to one of the petals. Arrange the whole flower to the top of the ‘stem’ on the card and fix in place with 3-D foam pads.
