Birthday Cards for Adults

Design by Michelle Rubin

Emboss white cardstock with a checkered pattern and round the corners. For the banner, fold scalloped circles punched from cardstock or patterned paper over baker's twine, and adhere the half-circle closed. Tape the edges of the twine to the back of the white embossed cardstock; then adhere the piece to the card base. Add the sentiment.

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper. Patterned paper: Imaginisce. Stickers: SRM Stickers. Twine: Divine Twine. Punches: Marvy Uchida (scalloped circle, corner rounder). Embossing plates, tool: Sizzix.
