a paisley birthday


to make this card use a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base made of white cardstock. cut a 5 1/4 x 2 1/2 inch rectangle out of patterned paper. glue to the top of the card, leaving a border. cut a 5 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch rectangle out of patterned paper. draw a scalloped pattern on one of the long edges (draw on the back!). cut out the scallops. glue to the bottom part of the card, leaving an edge. it's okay if the two paper's overlap. cut a 5 1/2 x 1 or 1 in. piece of white cardstock. attach over the seam the two other papers made. punch or free cut a flower and sew a button to the middle of the flower. glue the flower and button to the card. use rub-on's to spell out happy birthday, or use rub-on's for the h (of happy) and b (of birthday) and hand write the other letters to match.
