Any occasion card

For this card you can pretty much use 

any 2 coordinating papers and ribbon

that you have on hand.  The flowered 

paper is cut in 2 inch strips and the

solid is a 1 inch strip. I cut the strips

the full length of the card so that 

they overlapped each other when

glued on. I bought a jar of multi-

colored paper flowers that I have 

been using for years . You could 

also cut out flowers from your print

and use those.  When you tie the 

ribbon on open your card flat, lay it

on a cutting board or mat and make a small slit the width of your ribbon on the spine 

of the card. Then pull the ribbon through and tie it in a bow or knot in the front.  Before

I glued my card together, to add a little something more, I pressed the front center of 

my card lightly on my ink pad and then chalked the edges of my flowers. Which means that I just rubbed the edges of the flowers over an ink pad. This adds an extra dimension. You could 

also stamp words or glue something else in the place of the flowers.
