Welcome
I made this card for a very special friend some months ago.
My starting point was this video by Natasha Foote, a fellow New Zealander..
I made the base using snippets of paper from an old Kaiser Craft pad, Rose Avenue. These were glued onto copy paper and I added the twine to the top before adhering the panel to the card base.

The tag is part of the ephemera pages from the same pad, and I added some lace to the top of it.

Across the base I added some vellum ephemera from a pack I was gifted

On the inside I added some more lace and washi tape down one side, and stamped the sentiment from the Newton's Nook Birthday Essentials pack in green ink

Although I didn't photograph the envelope, i suspect it had some washi tape down one side...

A lovely birthday card for a special friend.
