• A sheet of cream paper 210 mm x 148 mm (5¾ in x 8¼ in)

Method

Fold the sheet of marbled pink card in half to make a greeting card 148 mm x 105 mm.

Fold the sheet of vellum in half.

Stamp the Birthday Scene on the velum with a tinted ink pad and emboss with gold powder.

Colour the parcel ribbons with pink and purple Tombow Brush Pens.

Add a dot of glitter glue at the joints of each of the parcel bows and two dots on the centre strip of the centre parcel.

Wrap the vellum around the marbled card.

Join the inner and outer layer of the card together with the ribbon. To do this make two slots the width of the ribbon and about 8 mm apart through both layers near the top. Thread the ribbon through both slots from outside to inside. Thread the ribbon back to the front through the opposite slots.

Line the inside of the card with cream paper to hide the ribbon. Glue this in place.

Trim a little bit off the three open edges of the card with a guillotine to make them neat.

Trim the four corners with a corner rounder punch.

Draw a gold line around the edge of the card.
