instructions

1. For You - 1. Cut off a 1.5cm strip from the opening edge of a blue blank and then stick some printed paper to the bottom, 4.5cm deep. Cover the join with a thin strip of pink card and stick another slice on the inside so it is visible just behind the front edge.
   
   2. Trim out a 10cm diameter circle from pink card. Fold in half and crease with a bone folder, open up and fold in half again. Continue to fold, making more lines at equal intervals until you have about 30 creases. Cut out a smaller circle from the middle and snip a slit along one of the crease lines up to the middle. Concertina the creased lines. Overlap the edges and stick together so that you are left with mountain and valley folds alternately.
   
   3. Once the flower has been formed, stick this to the card using silicone glue and attach one of the die-cut tags, with a ribbon threaded through it, to the centre. Take a thin strip of card and attach a 'for you' die-cut to one end. Stick the other end of the strip to the back and fold around to the front. Finish the card with gems down the inside edge.
