For this card I started with a large blue card and added some very bright striped decorative paper using two pieces with the striped going in different directions. I cut four rectangles from coordinating cardstock and embossed them. I sanded the blue one because it was white core cardstock to add more texture. I used a flower die (Cuttlebug) to cut a swirly yellow flower which I used to simulate a bow on the top of the blue gift. I attached it to the back of the gift with double sided tape and then cut a strip from the same cardstock to create the ribbon on the front. I did the same for the other three gifts. After auditioning them for placement I adhered them to the front of my card using 3D foam tape on the yellow and pink one and just glue on the blue and green ones. The gifts and bright colours make this a great birthday card for a child or any one who is young at heart!! Another for the card stash I am creating for my sister who left some paper crafting supplies here a few years ago. Therese
