Happy Birthday Card

Cut a 12x17cm piece of patterned paper, matt onto grey cardstock and attach to the card front.

Die-cut the shop front from brown, white and blue cardstock. Rub a little Gathered Twigs Distress Ink over the brown shop front to highlight the embossed details. Trim the door from the blue piece, the window and bushes from the white and the bushes from the green. Colour the bushes with a green pen and attach these pieces on top of the brown shop front.

Trim the Newsagent Shop sign from the paper pack and secure to the shop front. Add a piece of acetate to the back of the window.

Place 3D foam pads on the back around the window and door and fix a piece of grey backing paper to the back. Stick the shop to the card front.

Emboss the canopy into blue cardstock, cut out and attach to the top of the shop. Stamp the dog and noticeboard onto brown cardstock and the noticeboard again onto white cardstock. Stamp a message in the centre of the white board, cut out and adhere to the brown board. Add a little brown pen to the dog and sign, cut out and fix to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock, matt onto kraft cardstock and fix in place using 3D foam pads. Add pearls as shown to finish.
