The Cute Paper CollectionCompleted by Gwyneth George

I toon an assortment of designs from this collection into one of my graphics packages and resized, moved around, etc., until I had a faux matted and layered look card front of around 6" square. I also put a second copy of the top layer on the other side of my working area to use for cutting up to decoupage on my card. I added the greeting "Penblwydd Hapus" - Welsh for "Happy Birthday" on the card front and "3 oed" - Welsh for "3 years old" - onto the "tag". I printed the design out onto 300gsm, Super Smooth, white cardstock and cut out the card front and the teddy and tag from the second copy. I made a square base card from some pink cardstock and attached the card front straight to this. I used 1mm deep, double sided foam tape to attach the extra layer of the tag to the front and then shaped the teddy with my hands and attached using glue gel.

There is such a lot of different designs in this collection that I haven't come near to usigng all of them on this card. There's such a variety in here that they could be used for lots of different styles of cards designs.
