How To Make This Birthday Card Idea

1. Stick it on! Stick your gold gift sticker on to some acetate and carefully cut the acetate out, leaving approximately 1mm from the edges of the sticker.
2. Glue it on! Glue 4 or 5 seed beads to the top of the bow of the gift sticker. Leave to dry.
3. Cut it out! Cut out a thin strip of tracing paper, the length of the height of your card. My strip was approximately 2.5mm wide.
4. Spray Glue It! Spray glue the strip of tracing paper and fix it to the center of your card.
5. Emboss it! Next you need to emboss the sides of the strip of tracing paper. Draw some squiggles over the edges of the strip of tracing paper with your clear embossing pen, so that half of the squiggles go onto the card, and half go onto the tracing paper. Use the gold embossing powder and your embossing heat tool to emboss the design onto your card.
6. Stick The Foam Square! Stick a foam square to the back of your gift, so that the clump of beads cover it. Fix this to the middle of the gold-embossed strip (in the lower area of the top half of your card).

And voila! The birthday card idea comes to life!
