Step 1
Cut a white-card sheet on the paper cutter into 10 inches by 7 inches. Fold it in half and make a crease. This makes a 5-inch-by-7-inch blank card.

Step 2
Choose a piece of decorative paper to fit a theme appropriate for the friend the card is being made for. Cut it on the paper cutter to 4 inches by 6 inches. Trim the edges with fancy scissors. Attach it to the front of a blank card with double-sided tape.

Step 3
Add peel-and-stick themed\- foam images. Attach embellishments with a hot glue gun. Embellishments can include assorted plastic buttons, charms, little fake flowers and wrapped candy or lollipops.

Step 4
Write a personal message inside the card with markers such as "Thinking of You", "Wish You a Speedy Recover", "Wishing You the Best Birthday Ever!" or "Celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate!"
