I thought I better start restocking my card box so I started with a birthday card that I scraplifted from Pinterest! Here's the design I used for inspiration and it was pinned by Misty Rushlow http://mistyrushlow.blogspot.com/ .The paper line I used is actually a Christmas one called Jolly Holiday by Recollections. I used this paper previously to make Christmas Cards for a class I taught for Oklahoma Home & Community Education Club Holiday Extravaganza! I love that non-traditional colors are incorporated in with the traditional Christmas colors!
The first step was covering the front of the white card with purple print paper cut 4 X 5 1/2 inches. I stamped the sentiment, "It's Your Birthday" in white ink in the lower right corner. On the inside of the card the sentiment, "...enjoy!" is stamped in purple. I also used the purple ink to stamp the back of the card with "handmade with love!" 
Next, I layered a red plaid print paper cut 4 X 4 inches and added a light blue print paper cut 3 3/4 X 3 3/4 inches. I used decorative scissors to trim two sides. 
I cut squares with the "George and Basic Shapes" Cricut Cartridge from 4 different papers to form the dimensional petals. The bottom layer of petals are 1 1/2 inch squares with the opposite corners cut with a corner rounder punch. The top layer of petals are 1 1/4 inch squares with the opposite corners cut with a corner rounder punch. I then inked the petals with white ink and popped the top petal with a piece of pop dot. The flower in the center was cut with the "George and Basic Shapes" Cricut Cartridge as well. Size of the pink flower is 1 1/2 inches and the blue is 1 inch. I used a pink brad to connect the flower pieces and adhered the flower in the center with a piece of pop dot.
