Girl's Birthdays 2011

Cartridges: Wild Card, Forever Young, Storybook
Techniques: For the card: I cut a rectangular card with Wild Card, I also cut out a Scalloped-like rectangle with rounded corners from Storybook. The shape's height was equal to the height of the rectangular card.  I traced the shape and cut the front flap of the rectangular card creating the shape you see in the picture  I shrank down the shape and layered it on top for more dimension.
-Polka dot embossing folder for Cuttlebug
-Inked edges
-I wrapped ribbon around the card securing it with brads.  I left the ends long enough to tie a bow.  This was really cute because you can now tie the card closed, and the recipient has the bow to untie to open the card :)

-When I use paper that is not double sided I use a glue stick to glue the two papers together, make  sure you cover the ENTIRE paper with glue to avoid air bubbles, and so that it does not get messed up where it is folded.  The glue stick glue will not show through where it is applied like other glue
