2. Woodware Super Lever Craft Punch - Vase
3. Pearlised pink card
4. A5 Glitter Pattern Paper Pack - Turquoise/Pink

How to make this card:

Take the light pink with silver swirls sheet of paper from the A5 glitter pattern paper pack, measure and cut out a rectangle that measures 126mm x 90mm. Stick a length of 6mm double sided sticky tape on all four edges of the paper and stick it to the bottom half of the card blank.

Cut a 25cm length of the bright pink organza ribbon. Next cut a 126mm length of double sided sticky tape and stick it to the back of the ribbon approximately 8cm in from one end taking care to keep the ribbon as straight as possible. Fold both ribbon ends over and stick to the back of the double sided tape. You should end up with a double thickness of ribbon with neatly folded ends and a join at the back 4cm in from the right hand side. Use another 126mm strip of double sided sticky tape to stick the ribbon strip to the card blank directly above the pink glitter paper.

Cut a 22cm length of the same ribbon and tie it in a bow. Use craft glue to stick the bow to the ribbon strip approximately 4cm in from the right hand side so it covers the join. Trim the ends of the ribbon bow as required.

Use the super craft punch to punch a vase shape out of the pearlised pink card.

Arrange 3 of the full open pink roses and 5 of the pale pink miniature rosebuds into a little bunch, trim the stems and gently bend the stalks until the flowers are arranged how you want them and all the flower heads are facing forwards. Use some sellotape and/or craft glue to secure the stems to the back of the card vase shape.

Use sticky foam pads to attach this vase of flowers to the card blank just above the ribbon strip on the left hand side of the card blank.

Remove a Happy Birthday wording set from the diamond pink happy birthday peel off sheet and stick them to the card blank to the right of the vase of flowers. Use a ruler to ensure the words are straight.

Use the pink stickles glitter glue to draw some random swirly designs on the vase and leave the card blank flat for the glitter glue to dry.
