I used ribbon, and followed a tutorial by Seperia18.
She called it a "Pocket folder with 2 inserts".
The pink ribbon holds the folder closed.
I weaved the alphabet letters on a piece of wire and attached on each side a piece of red satin ribbon.
The paperclip has also a hidden message on the backside.
The stamped sentiments on the insert of the closed pockets says: "Happy birthday to you" and
"May all your wishes a dreams come true".
Stamps: Sentiments from Marianne Design:EC0138-Cs1078/CraftEmotions
Paper: White cardstock/ Double sided PP: "Happy Birthday"
Ink: Versafine: black
Accessories: BigShot/Joy Crafts:Bow-Gift dies/Avec: numbers/CreaLies: stitched rectangle die/pink organza and red satin ribbon/ plastic alphabet letters and wire/White papeclip/Circle punches and corner rounder/velcro dot/Rhinestone heart on tag
