Flower punch (can also be hand cut)

Ink (0ptional)



1. Cut cardstock to 5" x 10", fold in half. Finished card will be 5" x 5".

2. From patterned paper, cut (3) blocks in varying sizes. Ink edges.

3. Adhere patterned paper blocks to front of card.

4. Cut patterned paper strip approximately 1/2" wide, trim with decorative scissors. Adhere to lower portion of card.

5. Punch or cut flower shape and adhere to card.

6. Use Glossy Dot for center of flower.

7. Using Metallic Letter Stickers, adhere sentiment to top right side of card.
