Scrap Paper Candle Birthday Card

the two pieces with one fold inside the other in the middle. The other 2 folds I used to attach  the accordion to my front and back pieces on the inside.  I wanted 10 candles per fold, 80 total, so I measured one fold and divided by 10 and made  the strips slightly smaller so there would be space between. Using my straight edge paper  cutter I sliced the paper into thin strips for candles. To make the flame I used a trileaf hole  punch and tried punching just the top leaf and then cut the rest off to get the flame look.  Other easy options would be drawing them with markers or colored pencils, stamping them  or using a tear drop punch.  After cutting everything out I sorted my strips and flames into piles of 10 dispersing the  colors. Then I attached pieces one section at a time.  After completing the candles I typed up some text and printed it out on card stock to use in  my card. I cut the word block out and used a scrap piece of paper to mount the text onto.
