I'm starting a weekly series of quick and easy, greetings cards and gift bags to help kick start your crafting mojo  and get you organised for the year of Birthdays ahead.
The first make is this bright and funky, simple and effective Happy Birthday 'gap' card.

  1. Cut white card to measure 15 x 16 cm and score and fold the long side at 4 cm. 
  2. Cover the 4 x 15 cm panel with pink card and layer with a slightly smaller panel of patterned paper leaving a narrow border.
  3. Cut out a topper back it with white card cut to 7 x 4 cm then attach it to the right hand side of the paper covered panel.
