HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Front: Trim your card to a 5” square and place it with the fold at the top. Cut a
4 3/4" square from Red Velvet light green textured paper. Stamp the large roses/pendants image 4 times (close together) across the top of the paper with VersaMark ink, allowing the image to overlap the top and side edges of the paper. Sprinkle with white embossing powder and emboss with the heat gun. Turn the paper so the bottom is at the top and repeat. Mat on black cardstock with 1/16” borders. Cut a 4 3/4"x2” Red Velvet red/black dots paper. Mat the long sides on black cardstock with 1/16” borders. Glue it centered across the embossed green paper. Glue the entire piece centered on the card.
Use the 1 3/4"x3 1/2" tag die and your die cutting machine to cut the tag shape from black cardstock. Stamp the large rose/pendants image centered on the black tag with VersaMark ink, then emboss it white. Mat on white cardstock with 1/16” borders. Apply a drop of Red Stickles inside one of the embossed rose petals and use your knife to spread it to fill the space. Repeat for the remaining petals/roses. Use the same technique for the leaves, with Seafoam Stickles. Let dry. Foam tape the tag centered over the left side of the red/black dots paper.

Inside: Cut a 5”x1 5/8” black cardstock. Stamp the small rose/pendants image (on its side) with VersaMark, on the left side of the cardstock. Stamp “WITH love” to the lower right as shown. Emboss both images white. Mat the top long edge with white cardstock leaving 1/16” borders. Add Stickles to the rose/leaves image as you did for the tag on the front. Let dry.
