To make the card

Using your paper trimmer, remove 31/4 inches down from the top

on the front, on the fold and then cut across the front of the card.  This will leave

a 2 1/4 inch piece a the bottom of the card for closing the card.

Make a 4x5 1/4  inch white mat and run it through the embossing folder of your

choice and adhere to the inside of the card.  Stamp or die cut, or use boughten  flowers, add leaves

or flourish.  Use a circle die or punch that will accommodate your flower

and punch a half circle in the front of the card where you want to place your

flower.  Adhere flowers making sure you position the flower in the half circle

so the card will close.  Add sentiment.

Hope you have a chance to try this technique.

Thanks for stopping by today. 

Have a great week.
