Card 3

Card Size: A5

• Cut a A5 sized card out of Bazzill Bling cardstock. This cardstock is heavyweight enough to use as a card. Fold and score card.
• Cut a piece of the same Bazzill and glue onto centre as shown.
• Attach a length of ribbon or fibre to the spine of the card.
• Add the "Happy Birthday" title
• Cut the swirls from a piece of Peach Bazzill Bling cardstock. I used the QuicKutz Silhouette but if you have a steady hand, and lots of patience,  you could cut it freehand. Stick onto card as shown and dot with a white Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen.
• Add K&Co Juliana flowers and Prima Quick Picks Hydrangea blossom.
• Cut out the name of the recipient and stick onto card. Dot with a Purple Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen.

Card 4

A lovely bright summery birthday card suitable for older girls as well as adults.

Card Size: A5

• Cover the card in green stripe cardstock.
• Cut out a piece of coordinating cardstock for the centrepiece with a pair of paper shaper scissors for a fancy edge.
• Stamp "Happy Birthday" on the centrepiece and emboss using a bright green embossing powder. Stick the centrepiece onto the card.
• Punch or cut out three tag shapes using the green dot cardstock. Embellish each one with an orange brad at the top. Embellish three Prima Daisy flowers with a green brad in the centre and stick one on each tag. Arrange on the card.
• Stick coordinating fibres to the top of the card and top with a Daisy flower with an orange brad through its centre.
• Embellish with Prima mulberry flowers and dot the centre of each flower with gold Stickles glitter glue.

A great decoupage card for children to give to their dad on his birthday (mum makes it!).

• Cut a rectangle of cream Doodlebug Bazzill with a 1cm margin all around a dark blue card and glue it onto the card. Cut another panel from HOTP Cardmakers Jewel Creative pack, this time with a 1/2cm margin, and glue it onto the Bazzill panel.

• Cut out the desired picture from a Decoupage sheet and glue it onto the card. Pick out certain elements in the picture that you want to be 3 dimensional - I chose the two smaller bears, the newspaper with the daddy bear's hands, and the slippers - and layer them onto the original picture using foam pads or blobs of silicon to separate the layers. Build it up as much as you want.

• Cut out a tag shape from the HOTP Cardmakers Jewel Creative pack and stick on the letters DAD - here I used blue Blitzen letters. Glue the tag onto the card and finish with a Dress It Up Candle button.
