"Hi this is Karen for Expert Village. Now you can take a scissor and we with the blunt edge you don't want to cut this but you just want to crease a long those folding lines which is this little quarter inch bend. That is where it is going to fold. Just a quarter inch on the pie four pieces. Okay this is the back of our card. At this point if you wanted to erase your markings you can do that. Here is how it pops up. You simply push the center section out and crease that the opposite way like this. These folded marks are going to crease the other way. Then we would close it like this and press that down. So it makes a interesting card when you take it out of the envelope. Then you would have a birthday cake. At this point then we are going to decorate it with I have a gold opaque pen. We will decorate that cake. So we just make a simple line here on the cake. We would color the plate. (coloring the cake) Just some little accents here to make it pretty. You can write like "Happy Birthday" on there. You can put your greeting on the side and decorate that anyway you like.
