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.
