I've made this card with an 'On Your 1st Birthday' greeting but it can easily be made with a Happy Birthday greeting for older children (and grown-ups!).

Fabulous mini party-blowers on this card!

For this one print:-

The Bear with Bow motif sheet onto quality white card
The Teddy Bear Tales Miniatures sheet onto quality white paper
The Crossweave pink background paper onto quality white card
The pink mini polka background onto quality white paper, then turn it over and print the green crossweave design onto the other side (to make the party hat)

To make the card, cover a white 7" x 5" card blank with the pink crossweave background paper using double-sided tape.

Cut a large motif and greeting from the motif sheet and mount both things onto larger pieces of silver metallic card with double-sided tape. Trim round with a craft knife and ruler to leave a small border. Add to the card with further double-sided tape or sticky pads.

To make the bunting:- Cut eight bunting flags from the miniatures sheet with a craft knife and ruler. Add double-sided tape to the back of a strip of white paper, then cut a narrow (2mm) strip from it. Stick the bunting flags to the strip so that each touches the next one. Add to the card blank as shown with a sticky pad at each end and a little piece of double-sided tape on the back of one or two flags.

To make the party blowers:- Cut one of the patterned strips from the top right hand corner of the miniatures sheet, along with one of the white strips next to it. Add double-sided tape to the back of the patterned strip then fold in each side longways. Use a cocktail stick to roll up the strip, then let the roll go so it opens up a little - see ours for guidance.

For the white mouthpiece, take the white strip of paper and add small pieces of double-sided tape to one end and also around 1.5cm in on the other end. Roll the strip around a cocktail stick, starting at the end where the tape is 1.5cm in (don't put it at the end or you will just stick the strip to the cocktail stick and you won't be able to get it off!).

Roll up the white strip, graduating it slightly as you go to form the mouthpiece. This piece is a bit fiddly so it took a few tries before I got a couple that I was happy with. Once rolled and stuck into place with double-sided tape, ease a little tacky glue (such as Aleene's) into the mouthpiece, squash up the end of the blower piece and push it into the mouthpiece. Allow to dry before sticking to the card with tacky glue applied to the back of the blower with a cocktail stick.

For the party hat:- Cut a 6 x 4.5cm piece from the double-sided paper that you've printed. Fold it in half horizontally so that the pink paper is on the outside, then fold again and unfold. Fold down the corners to the crease line, then fold the edges of the paper up over the hat to reveal the green reverse side. Add to the card with double-sided tape.
