Instructions:

1. Front: Place your card with the fold at the left. Cover the card with Mocha Holographic Ripple paper. Cut a 4 3/8”x6” Bohemian Dreams teal/purple/red collage paper with the white doily design of the paper on the bottom. Mat on black with 1/16” borders. Foam tape on the card, even with the top and right edges. Cut a 4 3/8”x1/2” Mocha Holographic Ripple paper and mat on black with 1/16” borders. Glue across the collage paper on the card, 3/4” from the top.
2. Use the Botanical Leaves large vine with leaves cutting die and your die cutting machine to cut the image from white cardstock (save the “innies” for the inside). Cut 2 each of the smaller individual leaves, and 1 large individual leaf all from black cardstock.
3. Ink the large vine with leaves and 2 small leaf “innies” with VersaMark ink. Sprinkle with copper embossing powder, tap off the excess, and heat to emboss with the heat gun. Glue the coordinating black leaves beneath the embossed die cut. Set aside the embossed “innies” for the inside. Glue the embossed die cut on the card front as shown.
4. Use the Tiny Tags & Little Labels Template rectangular label B shape to create a label from remaining collage paper. Cut it out and mat on black with 1/16” borders. Glue on the right side of the mocha holographic ripple paper strip. Place Dazzles™ “Happy Birthday” centered on the label. Use 3/4" wide purple crepe ribbon to tie a bow. Cut each end into a “V” and Zot™ as shown.
5. Inside: Cut a 5”x3” collage paper and mat the long sides on black cardstock with 1/16” borders. Glue it centered across the inside. Cut a 5”x1/2” mocha holographic ripple paper and mat the long sides on black with 1/16” borders. Glue it across the collage paper, 1” from the bottom. Use the template to create a tag using the Squared Tag E image and remaining collage paper. Mat on black with 1/16” borders. Place overlapping the right side of the mocha holographic ripple strip as shown. Place Dazzles™ words and swirl. Glue embossed leaf innies on remaining black leaves and layer as shown near the tag. Glue in place. Foam tape the tag in place overlapping the leaves.
