Using dies, cut out the leaves and flowers from various patterned papers as shown.

Place the White cardstock into the embossing folder and then place the embossing folder into the Sizzix Dimensional Diffuser following the manufacturer’s instructions.
To finish Card #1, cut a piece of Black ribbon 6″ long. Slide the button on the ribbon as shown. Stamp the sentiment on the cardstock with a Black inkpad. Adhere the ribbon to the White cardstock, wrapping it around the back. Layer and adhere the Orange cardstock to the Black base card and then the White cardstock. Adhere the die cut flowers to the card and attach the buttons to the centers of the flowers.
