  1. Place the card on your work surface so the fold is at the top. Trim 3/4" from the bottom edge of the card front only. Turn the sheet of purple and blue dots paper so the dark purple dotted square is at the bottom left corner of the paper. Cut a 6 1/2"x4 1/4" rectangle from the lower left corner of the page.
  2. Stamp "happy birthday!" onto the center of the light purple dotted portion at the right side of the rectangle and add flock. Lightly press the flock over the design, then shake off the excess. Repeat as needed. Stamp and flock a swirl at the upper right corner and lower left corner of the light purple section to "frame" the words. Allow it to dry, then add purple mini brads to dot the "i" and the exclamation mark, and to decorate the swirls.
  3. Glue the rectangle even with the card front. Zot™ flowers with brad centers to the left side of the card, then Zot™ a bow beneath them as shown.
  4. For the inside: Turn the remaining paper so the long purple dots border is at the bottom. Cut a 6 1/2"x5" section of the light purple dots paper with purple dots border and glue it to the inside. Computer print or write "hope it's lots of" on a 3 1/4"x1" light purple paper rectangle with the black pen, then mat on blue dots paper leaving a 1/4" border. Glue to the inside, 1/2" from the left and 2 1/2" from the bottom.
  5. Stamp "fun" framed by brackets with the glue pad, beneath the matted words, add flock and allow it to dry thoroughly.
