Instructions:

1. For the card: Open the card and cut ⅛" off the long front edge. Close the card and place it with the fold at the bottom. Fold the Grove vertical flower garden cardstock in half with the flowers on the outside, making a 6"x4" card. Glue the green card to the inside of the white card, aligning the fold with the back upper edge and wrapping the flower panel over the front.

2. For the outer front: Transfer a 2¼" leaf branch rub-on to the front near the right edge. Glue the tied cord laser cut near the lower edge as shown, trimming one end if necessary. Glue the orange flower laser cut extending up from the cord near the left edge and a 2" leaf sprig just right of the knot as shown.

3. Place gold “just for you” Dazzles™ near the upper right edge. Bend the wings of a 2" and of a 1¼" acetate butterfly upward, then use sticky tape to attach them as shown.

Glue a ribbon laser cut across the lower right corner of the light green note paper laser cut, then glue the note card on the panel as shown.

5. Glue a branch laser cut extending up from the ribbon as shown. Place gold “happy birthday” Dazzles™ across the inside and foam tape a 1" butterfly laser cut at the note card bottom. Bend the wings on an acetate butterfly upward, then attach it as shown.

6. For the inside: Cut a Grove leaf/butterfly cardstock to 4½"x2¾" and ink the edges. Glue it to the inside along the left edge.

Transfer a stitching border near the lower fold and striped border near the upper fold as shown.

7. Glue the ledger strip laser cut along the right card edge, trimming it to fit. Glue the notebook and braid laser cuts along the bottom of the cardstock as shown. Glue a and foam tape two button and a 2" butterfly laser cut as shown. Place gold “celebrate” Dazzles™ as shown.
