Size template (see craftsuprint for template) and trace it onto Lavender Cardstock, cut out. Score the sides. Use your Exacto Knife to cut the aperture.
Trace the inside sides and the outside on DSP (from craftsuprint). Cut out. Lay the sidepieces on the card base and trace the apertures onto the DSP. Cut out. This way you know the openings will match. Adhere DSP to the card base.
To decorate the card I cut 4 Spellbinders “Sprigs Dies” out of White cardstock. Glitter them and adhere 2 of the sprigs to the left front of card. Make 3 small doily flowers using ½ of 2 - 4” doilies. Adhere to card front over the sprigs.
On the Card inside adhere the last 2 white sprigs on the left side so that they cover the sprigs showing through from the card front. I made the Antennae for the butterflies by cutting 2 pieces of heavy white thread and coloring them with “Purple Liquid Pearls. Use Dimensionals to adhere the butterflies to the inside of the card.
Stamp “Happy Birthday” in Lavender and cut out using Spellbinders Labels 6 – Die #3. Adhere to inside of card.
