May All Your Dreams Come True


We all have dreams, wishes and hopes. When it's our birthday, and we get to blow out the candles, we make that ever-important wish. That was the inspirational thought behind this card.


I began with a 5" x 8-1/2" piece of wisteria card stock folded in half to make an A-2 card. I punched the top left and bottom right corner of the card with a large corner punch. I tied a pretty white ribbon around the center of the card with the knot at the right side of the card.

I love this floral branch image from Stampin' Up!. I bought a special little flower punch at Hobby Lobby so that I could decorate the branch with colored flowers. On white card stock (also corner punched), I stamped the branch in old olive then glued on the punched flowers. I added a tiny pearl to each flower center. I then stamped May all your Dreams come true (a Penny Black stamp) below the branch in the same color as the card. This is going to be a birthday card for my friend Barbara, and I hope all of her dreams do come true.
