To make this cover for a girl's birthday card you need:
- Pink cardstock
- White cardstock
- Sticky pads
- Zebra felt
- Sharpie
- Hole punch
- Pink brads
- The basic materials (X-acto knife, ruler, pencil, cutting mat...)
- Mark your pink cardstock at the half mark.
- Cut the felt to fit the size of the front of the card, 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 in.
- The vertical sides are cut to be 1 1/2 in. the horizontal sides are cut to be 2 in.
- Slice a hole in each corner to attach brads. Then attach them.
- Glue it (using concrete cement) onto the cover of the pink cardstock.
- For the tag in the middle cut a rectangle 5 in. by 3 in. fold in half hot dog style and then (still folded) fold in burger style. Draw a curve from top to bottom as shown below. Be sure that the open edges are facing away from you. Cut out that curve, unfold it and you have the tag.
- Write with your sharpie "Happy Birthday"
- I made a pink outline of the tag by tracing it onto another sheet of pink cardstock, cutting it out, folding as I did above and cut the edges smaller then cutting the inside out.
- Put the sticky pads on the tag and the outline. Attach the outline on the tag and line the tag into the middle of the card.
- Cut out flowers from pink and white cardstock. Attach them using rubber cement or double sided tape. Use the hole punch to create white dots to use as the centers of flowers.
