  3. Stamp birthday messages and party hats with VersaMark ink, sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set. Trim papers to desired sizes.
  4. Stamp "party" onto pink Bo Bunny Double Dot Paper. Trim and add black string to one end.

  8. Finish the card by adding black buttons with string using Glue Dots to secure.
