dry brush acrylic paints on card stock, fold paper as shown (flip paper over before second fold), cut down center of horizontal ditch fold
Fold paper on fold lines and decorate
Since "Jennifer" has 8 letters, I stamped each letter of her name on a page then wrote a descriptive word about her starting with that letter
Punch two 1/8" holes (one on front and one on back page thread ribbon through and knot) tie in a bow. One of the nice things about making a card this size, it will fit into store-bought 4-1/8 x 5-1/4 invitation envelopes.

Nothing says "lovin' " like a card from the heart.
I always say that the mother should get the cards and presents because, after all, we did do all the work.
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to youuuuu !!!

Pat,
Lovely card. I used to go to the Owl and the Pussy Cat in Ft. Myers and make cards and books. I don't make them anymore and kind of miss it.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Pat, the card is wonderful and the idea to use the letters of Jennifer's name for words of affirmation is just the best ever.

That is a great idea. Something she can keep and treasure when she gets older.
