Happy Birthday

With the fold at the left, cover the card front with tan/red music paper, trimming the edges evenly with the card. Ink the edges. Open the card out flat onto your cutting mat, with front facing up. Place the straight-edge cutting guide about 3/4" from the long opening edge of the card front. Remove the triangular insert on the underside of the cutter. Grip the wheel and turn to select the wavy blade, then line up the grooves on the underside of the cutter with the grooves in the cutting guide. The blade should be right at the edge of the cutting guide. Hold down the cutting guide and press down with your index finger on the cutter above the blade, following the edge of the guide.

Wrap the front of the card with ribbon and tie in a knot. Zot layered flowers and a brad over the knot as shown. Ink edges of tags and attach brads at top of each. Glue the tags near the ribbon as shown.

Inside the card: Cover the inside with black textured paper. Use the wavy blade and straight-edge guide to cut across the opening edge of the inside as close to the edge as possible. Glue a 4 5/8" x 6 1/2" red textured paper rectangle even with the fold on the inside, so you have about 1/4" of black border at the right side. Write or computer print "and many more!" on the tan label and add brads to ends. Glue near center of the inside, making sure label is covered by the card front when closed. Add ribbon. Sand the wavy edges.
