TO ASSEMBLE
Fold A6 card blank in half with the bone folder.

Trim floral paper to 9.5x14cm and apply
adhesive to edges of reverse side. Centre and
position on front of card blank. Arrange the
flowers on card and use a hot glue gun to
adhere each in place – with hot glue, apply 4
small balls of glue around the inner ring (too
much will seep through).
Once flowers are in place, type up your ‘thank
you’ sentiment. Whether printing or using a
typewriter, trim your sentiment into a
rectangle with space at both ends. Cut out a
triangle at both ends to represent a banner.
Attach 3 foam squares to the back and stick
to your card.
