Make Your Years Count Card

For the front: Place your card with the fold on the top. Trim to a 5" square. Cut a floral piece to a 4 7/8" square. Use a cosmetic sponge and Metallic Gold StazOn® to ink the edges gold. Tie a bow with pink grosgrain. Loosen the knot a bit, and thread a 6" piece through the back of the knot. Adjust the bow so it is toward the left end of the long ribbon. Place Zips™ across the center of the floral paper, about 2 1/4" from the top. Adhere the ribbon and bow to the sticky strip of Zips™. Wrap the ends around and attach to the back with Zips™. Glue the floral piece centered on the front of the card. Cut 2 Design Tool Kit #7 Designer Labels from green watercolor and ink the edges gold. Mat on purple with a 1/16" border. On the first label, cut off 1/2" from the right side and place "Don’t count your years." On the second, cut 1/2" off the left side and place "Make your years count." Add small hearts as shown. Foam tape the first label just overlapping the pink ribbon on the right side. Foam tape the second below the bow on the left as shown. Place large swirl Dazzles™ in the top left and bottom right as shown. Place a flower Dazzles™ behind the pointed end on the top right label and the bottom left label, as shown.

For the inside: Glue a 4 7/8" square of postcards paper to the center of the inside panel. Cut 4 1/4" of pink grosgrain ribbon and cut a “V” in the left end. Glue across the center of the card, lining up with the right edge of the paper. Place "The best is yet to come" on the ribbon.
