Simple Birthday Card Using Bright Wooden Letters and Punched Flowers

This card uses a 5ins x 5ins pre-cut, pre-scored, white card blank from a bulk pack from Hobbycraft.

Another card that’s no great shakes but at least I am crafting! I simply covered the front of the card with a lime green, wiggly lined origami paper (The Works) before adding the brightly coloured wooden letters (also from The Works) ...........

....... followed by the hand punched daisies in two sizes and layered so that they can be fluffed up, to bring it all together.  In the centre of each flower I added a clear, flat backed gem.


The wooden ladybirds (The Works, pack of 30 for £1.50) were an after thought, perhaps a bit of an overkill, however, it’s an idea that I think I can carry over to Easter. 

Although I have a lot of these coloured wooden letters, I need to come up with some other celebratory words to use on cards because “Happy Birthday” does use quite a few duplicate letters, I don’t want to be left with a pot of odd letters like K and Q that will be hard to place on future projects.

    Your card looks terrific. You could use some other phrases like, "Time to Party," Today's Your Day," You're How Old?" I'm sure there are loads more you could use.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
