This card is very similar to a previous 7×5 pink vases of flowers design but this card is a lovely lilac colour scheme and is also smaller to show how the same design can be downsized to an A6 card.

This card design would also be perfect to use for Mother’s day by simply changing the Happy Birthday peel off sticker to a Happy Mothers’ Day peel off sticker.

What you will need to make this card:

1. A6 White Card Blank
   
2. Woodware Super Lever Craft Punch – Vase
3. Pearlised or plain lilac card
4. Floral backing tissue paper
   
5. Miniature Rosebuds – Pale Lilac
6. Small Full Open Roses – Lilac
7. Organza Ribbon – Lilac
8. Stickles Glitter Glue – Pink
9. Happy Birthday Peel Off Sheet – Diamond Purple
10. Miracle Adhesive Film for Vellum or Glue Dots – Invisi Dots for Vellum
11. 6mm double sided sticky tape
12. Hi-Tack Original All Purpose Very Sticky Glue
13. 5mm Sticky Foam Pads
14. Craft knife, pencil, ruler, cutting mat & sellotape
    

How to make this card:

Take a sheet of the floral tissue paper and measure and cut out a rectangle that will fit on the bottom half of the card blank. Use the Miracle adhesive film or Invisi dots for vellum to stick it to the bottom half of the card blank.

Cut a length of the lilac organza ribbon slightly longer than the width of the card blank and use double sided sticky tape along the whole length of the ribbon to stick it along the top edge of the floral tissue paper, keepng the ribbon as straight as possible. Trim off the excess ribbon on both sides.

Use some more of the same ribbon to make a bow. Use craft glue to stick the bow to the ribbon strip over to the right hand side as shown in the picture. Trim the ends of the bow to make neat even length ends if necessary.

Use the super craft punch to punch a vase shape out of the pearlised/plain lilac card.

Arrange 3 of the full open lilac roses and 5 of the pale lilac miniature rosebuds into a little bunch. Trim the stems and arrange the flowers until all the flower heads are facing forwards. Use some sellotape to secure the stems together and then use craft glue to secure the bunch to the back of the card vase shape.

Use sticky foam pads to attach this vase of flowers embellishment to the left hand side of the card blank so the base of the vase is on top of the ribbon strip.

Remove a Happy Birthday wording set from the diamond purple happy birthday peel off sheet and stick them to the card blank to the right of the vase of flowers. Use a ruler to ensure the words are straight.

Use the pink stickles glitter glue to draw some random swirly designs on the vase and leave the card blank flat for the glitter glue to dry.

This card design would also be perfect to use for Mother’s day by simply changing the Happy Birthday peel off sticker to a Happy Mothers’ Day peel off sticker.

What you will need to make this card:

1. 7″x5″ Card Blank White
   
2. Woodware Super Lever Craft Punch – Vase
3. Pearlised pink card
4. A5 Glitter Pattern Paper Pack – Turquoise/Pink

6. Small Full Open Roses – Pink
7. Organza 7mm Ribbon – Bright Pink

10. 6mm double sided sticky tape
11. Hi-Tack Original All Purpose Very Sticky Glue
12. 5mm Sticky Foam Pads
13. Craft knife, pencil, ruler, cutting mat & sellotape
    

How to make this card:

Take the light pink with silver swirls sheet of paper from the A5 glitter pattern paper pack, measure and cut out a rectangle that measures 126mm x 90mm. Stick a length of 6mm double sided sticky tape on all four edges of the paper and stick it to the bottom half of the card blank.

Cut a 25cm length of the bright pink organza ribbon. Next cut a 126mm length of double sided sticky tape and stick it to the back of the ribbon approximately 8cm in from one end taking care to keep the ribbon as straight as possible. Fold both ribbon ends over and stick to the back of the double sided tape. You should end up with a double thickness of ribbon with neatly folded ends and a join at the back 4cm in from the right hand side. Use another 126mm strip of double sided sticky tape to stick the ribbon strip to the card blank directly above the pink glitter paper.

Cut a 22cm length of the same ribbon and tie it in a bow. Use craft glue to stick the bow to the ribbon strip approximately 4cm in from the right hand side so it covers the join. Trim the ends of the ribbon bow as required.

Use the super craft punch to punch a vase shape out of the pearlised pink card.

Arrange 3 of the full open pink roses and 5 of the pale pink miniature rosebuds into a little bunch, trim the stems and gently bend the stalks until the flowers are arranged how you want them and all the flower heads are facing forwards. Use some sellotape and/or craft glue to secure the stems to the back of the card vase shape.

Use sticky foam pads to attach this vase of flowers to the card blank just above the ribbon strip on the left hand side of the card blank.

Remove a Happy Birthday wording set from the diamond pink happy birthday peel off sheet and stick them to the card blank to the right of the vase of flowers. Use a ruler to ensure the words are straight.

Use the pink stickles glitter glue to draw some random swirly designs on the vase and leave the card blank flat for the glitter glue to dry.
