For a quick and easy forgotten birthday card! Placing your greeting to the right side of the card, cut out two 1.5 inch white squares from scrap card and cover with Red Cotton Candy Fabric Paper (CC-Red). Onto each of these stick Black Football Peel Off Stickers (425U-BK).

Ribbon Weave

Cut two 4 inch lengths of 25mm Organza Ribbon (R5) in one colour of your choice then cut a contrasting colour of 25mm Organza Ribbon (R5) also into two 4 inch lengths and weave to make four complete squares. To keep the ribbon in place lightly glue some white card a little less than 2 inches square to the back. Cut the heads off two Satin Flowers with Beaded Centre (MF5) and using 3D Foam Sticky Pads (GL1) stick these to two of the squares. Onto the other two squares stick Peel-n-Stick Rhinestones (RG5). Cut some white card 8.5cm in length, making it slightly narrower than the 25mm Organza Ribbon (R5). To this white card lightly glue a 9.5cm length of 25mm Organza Ribbon (R5), then stick a Black Happy Birthday Peel Off Sticker 408U-BK over the top of this ribbon.

Tags On Cards

Tags on cards seem to be the 'in thing' at the moment. So after cutting out your tag shape for your cards why not add a few Iridescent Padded Embellishments, like the Iridescent Snowflakes (BD5) on this tag. Great value!

Teenage Money

Using fabric from an old pair of jeans, cut a pocket shape and add detail stitching with a silver roller pen. On each four corners, glue a Round Rhinestone (RG15). To make the pocket *funky* glue a Peace/Hand Gem (RG17), then onto some Silver Braid (R6-SL) thread some Teddy, Dice and Flower Beads (BD2, BD11 & BD12) and hang from the pocket. You could use Alphabet Beads (BD10) to make up the teenagers name in the same way. Glue the finished pocket onto the card leaving the top unglued so you can slip in the birthday money you are giving them!
