   2 Add the shaded image onto yellow card, 5.5cm square, then attach to the blank with 3-D foam pads. Print the 'best wishes' greeting onto white card, trim into an oblong and fix with foam pads, as shown.

2. gift-tag - 1 Cut pink card, 8cm x 12cm, and trim the corners off to create a tag shape. Repeat with patterned paper, 7cm x 11cm, and stick onto the front. Print nine of the smaller images onto white card, colour them in, then adhere to pink, 6cm square.
