My sweet daughter in law will be celebrating her 34th birthday on February 2. I thought I'd make her a card, I know she will love and appreciate it so much!
She wears blouses with jackets, so I thought I'd replicate the card with a lapel, an "open collar" and buttons down the sides using the light, lime green half pearls. I also used pop dots under the turned down open collar to give it lift.

I made the flower using coffee fliters, glimmermist and just a bit of glitter around the sides. The other emblishments are a chain, a key cross, matching ribbon, and some gem and pearl strands I picked up at an Estate sale. The back of the tag I used for a personal birthday message.

This does fit in my large maling envelope (Invitation Envelope). I like to make sure for future reference, I can duplicate my cards, I would add bubble wrap, a bit of extra tape and of course extra postage!
Happy Birthday, Karla!
Love,
Grandma
