Materials
Square Card Blank
Flower Die
Pink/Red Paper
Red and white ribbon
Wooden stick
String/Buttons

Happy Birthday
1.Using the square card, score from the top left hand corner down to the bottom right hand corner and
fold. This will create your card shape.
2. Cover each section of the card with backing paper.
3. Cut out all the toppers, sentiments and embellishment from the craft sheets.
4. Cut out mini paper bunting and fix along the left hand side of the card, attaching with foam pads.
Using the string make two little bows and fix on either side of the bunting.
5. Cut out your topper and wrap a piece of ribbon around the base as shown.  
6. Make a windmill: Cut out a square measuring 4.5cm x 4.5cm using your matching backing
paper. Cut diagonally to the centre. Put a piece of double sided tape in the centre, then fold in
every other section to create a spiral effect. To finish fix a button in the centre, and a wooden
stick behind.
7. Attach the main topper onto the triangle part of the card using double sided tape or craft glue.
8. Make some flower embellishments: Using a flower die, cut out and make up flowers (see
instructions below). Fix them on a sentiment using craft glue. Fix the sentiment in front of your
topper using foam pads. This will act as a stopper and hold your card up. Add more flowers
around the stopper as you wish.
Cut out the flower shape using your die cutting machine. Thread the front of the flower onto the quilling tool as shown.
Twirl the flower at a medium tension until you reach the end. Release a little then secure in place with a little glue on the base.
