Today I'm featuring a Birthday card with a large folded flower.  A few months ago I learned how to make this super easy flower through Close to My Heart.
First I punched 8 circles (1 1/4") from my patterned paper, Mayberry.  I made sure that the reverse side of my paper was all the same shade (of honey).
Next I folded up one side, about 1/3.  Then I folded the second side up, forming a point at the bottom, like a cone shape.

I did this for all 8 "flower petals".  I took a 9th punched circle and put lots of adhesive on it.  I then added my "petals" on until it formed a full circle, forming my flower.  I added two buttons to the center to complete it.

Finally, I stamped my stem (Dreams come true) and my sentiment (Card Chatter- Happy Birthday).  I could have even put Happy Mother's Day on this card (but I already made those cards).
