To create…
1 Create a 14.8cm-square card blank from pink cardstock. Take the two most deep shades of pink cardstock and cut 1cm-wide strips from them. Adhere onto the card.
2 Make a purple border measuring 14.8cm-square. Adhere onto the card blank and highlight with a black fineliner, adding dots to the border. Colour the dots with the pink deco painter pen.
3 Use your die-cutting machine to make a 3D scalloped frame from light pink and purple cardstock. Attach the light pink part of the frame onto the card. Stamp the word ‘congrats’ onto pink cardstock and colour with a twin marker.
4 Adhere the purple part of the frame onto the card using 3D foam pads. Highlight the frame with a black fineliner.
5 Make two gifts out of the two most deep shades of pink cardstock. Stamp ‘for you’ onto the largest gift. Highlight both gifts with fineliner and adhere them inside the frame.
6 Embellish the largest gift with a ribbon bow and decorate with purple flower brads as shown.
7 Cut a piece of pink cardstock to measure 14.3 cm-square and attach inside the card.
