A bright and cheerful modern Birthday card design that is really easy to make.

What you will need to make this card:

1. A6 card blank
2. A4 Backing Paper – Childrens Flowers
3. Woodware Mini Round Brads – Pastel
4. Happy Birthday Peel Off Sheet – Multicoloured
5. Double sided sticky tape
6. Sticky foam pads
7. Decoupage scissors
8. Craft knife, cutting mat & ruler

Directions to make the card:

The card blank you use can be any colour really as the whole front of the card is covered but plain white or plain pink do look best.

Using your craft knife, cutting mat and ruler, measure and cut a section from the bottom of the Childrens flowers backing paper sheet that is exactly the right size to cover the front of the card blank completely (card blank is used tent fold style), the picture below demonstrates the section that should be cut out.

Use double sided sticky tape along all four edges of the cut out section of the backing paper to stick it to the front of the card blank.

From the top section of the remaining backing paper use decoupage scissors to cut out three large flowers that match the shapes of the middle three flowers on the card blank. Also cut out 2 medium pink flowers, 1 medium purple flower, 3 small purple flowers and 1 small pink flower.

Take one medium pink flower and place a small purple flower on top of it, push a mini round pastel pink brad through the centre of both flowers to pin them together and bend back the brad prongs behind the flower petals. Use sticky foam pads to stick the bradded flowers to the centre of the first left hand purple flower on the card blank.

For the second flower take the large pink flower that matches the flower shape and use another pink brad to attach a small purple flower to the top of it. Then again using sticky foam pads stick these flowers to the second flower lined up to match the shape.

Take the large pink flower that matches the third flower shape and use foam pads to stick it to the third flower lined up to match the shape. Push a pink brad through a small purple flower and stick this to the centre of the third flower layer with another sticky foam pad.

For the fourth flower take the large purple flower that matches the flower shape and stick it lined up to match the shape with sticky foam pads. Next take a medium pink flower and push a pastel purple round brad through the centre, stick this flower to the centre of the fourth flower layer with more sticky foam pads.

For the final fifth flower take one medium purple flower and a small pink flower, use another purple brad to pin the two flowers together and then use sticky foam pads to stick them to the centre of the last right hand pink flower on the card blank.

Complete the card off by applying a ‘Happy Birthday’ wording sticker from the multicoloured peel off sheet at an angle to the top left hand corner of the finished card.
