Here’s a peek inside!!! Ooh, I just smile looking at this!!! I’ll try to contain myself, but honestly, this was THE most fun project I think I have EVER done!!! I SO love all these type of things. Hope the recipient does, too!!! Lush ribbons, pretty buttons, vintage/recycled pieces of lace, satin flowers and all sorts of pretties — pearls, pins, crystals and charms!
Here’s the Joy Fold Card — so fun to do!!! A great tutorial on this Joy Fold Card, complete with all measurements, can be found at SCS in this tutorial written by Beate — thank you, Beate!!! This is a quick and fun fold that packs a lot of punch with very little effort!
In this shot I’m just trying to let you see how the card functions!
Here’s the card opened fully. This fun girlfriend sentiment, as well as the girlfriend greeting on the front, are in a set called Glamour Girls by Crafty Secrets. I got mine from Joan’s Garden. And now that you’ve seen the completed card, here’s how I did it:
The card base is 4.25″ x 8.5″, and using my Mini Scor-it, I scored at 3″, so when folded my card base is 4.25″ x 5.5″, a standard sized card. The smaller card that will be on top is cut 3″ x 8″ and scored at 4″. That’s it. Add your DP and assemble as shown in photos or, better yet, refer to Beate’s tutorial linked above. Can you see my scalloped top (Martha Stewart Scallop Punch) ? The DP is attached with double sided tape to a piece of SU cardstock — so it is quite thick, but I scored the embossed line above the scallops on my Mini Scor-It without any problems whatsoever — a beautiful embossed line — just a subtle detail, but it’s all the little details thatproduce agreat end result. Here’s a close-up:

de this card for my neice whose bday is at the end of the month...wasn't sure how long it would take to complete

Cuttle-Pal Chick and Answers
I am so sorry to bore you folks to death, but I just can’t get off this kick! I am *so* into these super simple and quick cards lately using a combination of the Cuttlebug and Scor-Pal, and I can’t seem to put Nursery Necessities away - I just love it!!! Here’s my latest:
This is made in a similar fashion to the cards in my previous posts. White panel is 4 x 5.25″. The small folder was used to emboss with the Cuttlebug. Place the folder in the center, run through the CB, then do each side, so it is going through the CB 3 times. Then take it to the Scor-Pal, turn it upside down so the embossed squares are facing the table (wrong side up), line up the top of the embossed square on the4 1/2″ line, then score at the 4 1/4 and 4″ lines, pressing hard and going over it twice to get a good impression. Turn it over and it should look like the above. Stamp as shown, attach ribbon to panel, attach completed panel to card base — done!!! Another super quickie with the use of good and fun tools!!!

Sponsors are also involved each week, which means a chance for the participants to win some wonderful merchandise. This week’s theme is *Buttons and Bows*.

Here is my Buttons and Bows creation:
What’s more appropriate for a Buttons and Bows creation that a Sweet Baby Girl card! I made this card quite simply by using many little pretties – Cotton Scraps (Baby Girl) for the focal image, cut with Fiskars Pinking Shears and stitched onto a pink mat which was then distressed. My background is done with the Cuttlebug and an embossing folder, my ribbon is 1.25″ wide May Arts Pink Silk, the bow being made on the Bow Easy, and my little buttons are from Wal-Mart, the larger one being tied with 100% Jute String by May Arts. And that’s about it — just a matter of putting a few pretty things together — my FAVORITE way to make a card!!!
Stamps and Ink: NonePaper: PTI Vintage Cream, SU Pink PirouetteAccessories: Cotton Scraps Baby Girl, 1.25″ and 1/4″ Pink Silk Ribbon, Ivory Jute String, Bow Easy,Fiskars Pinking Shears and Scor-It, all from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store; Buttons and Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue from Wal-Mart; Glue Glider from Joan’s Garden; Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots Embossing Folder; SU Corner Rounder; Sewing Machine and Thread; Scissor Blades to distress.
Thanks so much for stopping in today. I hope you take the time to check out The Next Level Buttons and Bows Blog Challenge for this week and play along if you have the time. Playing and linking your creation will enter you in the drawing for prizes, and what could be more fun!!!

Buttons and Bows for Baby Boys
Published by notimetostamp under Baby Cards, Bow Easy, Cotton Scraps, Crafty Secrets Projects, Dry Embossed Projects
Today I have a Buttons and Bows card for a baby boy! And even with buttons and bows it does look boyish enough — for a newborn anyway! The card is quite simple, using a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background and machine stitching on the focal image.
I made this for our newest great-nephew, Eli Andrew, who came into the world on July 1. We hope to see him this weekend! The image is from the Baby Boy Cotton Scraps, cut with Fiskars Pinking Sheers, matted onto cardstock which is stitched at the sewing machine. The Taupe Silk Ribbon is a good match to the SU Close to Cocoa cardstock and the bow is made with the Bow Easy.
A fun and quick way to prepare a focal image panel at the sewing machine. It is elevated on foam mounting tape. The button is threaded with Ivory Jute String.

Vintage Baby Gift Card Holder
Published by notimetostamp under Baby Cards, Bow Easy, Gift Card Holders, JustRite Products, Scor-It
I love to make gift card holders and this is in a non-traditional size with a vintage feel. In shades of soft yellows, ivory and a touch of blue I consider this to be gender-neutral, suitable for either a girl or boy. And it is oversized, not made to fit into an envelope but meant to be given as is, either personally to the new Mom and Dad or at a baby shower, or how pretty it would be gently placed in a gift basket along with other beautiful goodies. It is made from one full 8 1/2 x 11″ sheet of cardstock and the finished measurements are 4 1/2 x 8 1/2. Instructions to follow later in the post. But let’s take a look:
I loved the vintage feel of this DP by SU (Bella Birds), so I added a border with a Martha Stewart Lace Punch and my 100% Ivory Silk Bow. This image from the Baby Stamp Ensemble by JustRite also has a vintage feel to it that I love!
The image is stamped in VersaFine Vintage Sepia (it was the perfect shade of brown) and Copic colored. Be mindful, VersaFine is NOT the ink you would typically use to Copic color, I just cheated as I wanted that color today. My image from the Baby Stamp Ensemble was cut and layered with my Petite Oval Nestabilities, and Kaiser Pearls in Champagne were added.
Here you can better see the detail of the lace punched border and my bow using 100% Silk Ribbon, made on the Bow Easy.
Here is the gift card holder inside. The large pocket can hold all kinds of goodies. The top flap is held securely closed with a Velcro Dot closure.

Attachment (1) Hello Spring Flower Garden
This week's Cricut Cardz Challenge was to create a spring themed card using flower, butterflies and/or birds. Well I used two out of three so that wasn't too bad. I also tried a new card fold - the side step, and I don't mind telling you that I had a lot of fun with this one. I found the side step to be more creator friendly than just the step card so you'll see more of these in the future.
For this card though I used several cartridges:
Paper Pups for the butterflies - cut at 3/4"
Stretch Your Imagination for the caterpillar - cut at 1"
Cricut Sampler (I don't have Walk in My Garden) for the flowers - cut at 2"
Zooballoo for the grass - cut at varying sizes for layering on the steps
Camp Out for the sign - cut at 2 1/2"
Animal Kingdom for the hello - cut at 1/2"

As expected, a simple card — black and white, Cuttlebug embossing, single initial monogram for the newlyweds and my fun and flirty black silk ribbon treatment. I’ve received a lot of emails asking how I do this. I have explained it previously, but never with photos, so this time I’ll try adding photos and see if that helps. It’s really so easy:
These are the pieces I start with: a black top fold card, my white panel and my monogram.
Photo 1 - Using a good heavy double sided tape, adhere the ribbon on the card front so it will be UNDER the monogram.
Photo 2 - Run the ribbon up the card front and secure on card back with the same type of tape.
Photo 1 - Going back to the card front, adhere your monogram using SU Dimensionals
Photo 2 - Using a 1/4″ width of matching silk ribbon, run it UNDER the wide ribbon, as shown.
Photo 1 - It’s hard to see as the ribbon is so black, but I just drew the ribbon tails up and tied into a tight knot, then cutting my ends short and turning that ribbon so the tails end up UNDER the wide ribbon. It helps to use tweezers to do this.
Photo 2 — Make a bow on the Bow Easy
Note: If you are good at bow tying - you can skip the narrow ribbon and the Bow Easy — just run another length of wide silk under the wide silk strip attached to the card, draw up your tails and tie your bow.
And here’s another look at the final result. My bow is glued on with Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue (very cheap/Wal-Mart). I added clear rhinestones to the Damask monogram image. A quick and simple card with a bit of a formal look!

Beaded Staple Tutorial
This is a card that was demonstrated at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference that I went to in January.Using beaded staples as an accent on your card was a new technique for me.
The photos were taken by Ginger Abrose (one of my roomies at Leadership and another SU! demo). This technique was demonstrated during one of the general sessions and Ginger took photos of the large screen.
Want to learn more stamping techniques, view hundreds of card, scrapbook and 3-D ideas and have a blast with thousands of other crazy stamping women? Sign up to be a demonstrator during the awesome Sale-A-Bration $159 Special and you could attend the annual Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City with me this summer. Call me at (608) 437-1756 for more details or to sign up!
Here's how to add beaded staples to your projects:
1. Punch a staple out of your stapler, dip the tips in an inkpad and "stamp" the staple on your card where you want it.
2. Use the paper piercer and foam mat from the Crafter's Tool Kit to poke holes where you stamped the two dots with the staple.
3. Thread beads onto the staple.
4. Put the staple through the two holes on your project and bend the ends down on the back to secure.
Stamp the image again in Basic Black ink on a smaller piece of neutral card stock (the same color as your main image) and punch it out using the 1-1/4" circle punch. Color this image in using the coloring method of your choice.
Layer your colored-in circle piece on a punched 1-3/8" circle of a darker color card stock (usually Basic Black, but you can get creative).
Line the circle image up with the image on your main image and tape into place. The result is a "spotlight" of color.
Since Sale-A-Bration is quickly coming to an end, I also wanted to share another Friendship Blooms card with you. This one was sent to me by my upline, Kristen Bryant. I just love the elegant simplicity of it!
The color combo is a bit hard to see in the photo, but it is a very unique blend of Soft Sky and Taken with Teal. I never would have thought to put those two together!
The background was done with the So Swirly Jumbo Wheel in Whisper White ink. The pearl in the middle adds the touch of elegance and can be found in the Pretties Kit.

A Pop-Up Card and Prizes!
This adorable pop-up card was one of the projects that we did at my upline Kristen Bryant's demonstrator meeting on Sunday.
And here's the surprise inside:
Supplies: Say It with Scallops stamp set; Whisper White, Summer Sun, Tangerine Tango, Riding Hood Red and Pacific Point card stock; Riding Hood Red Classic Pad; 1-1/4" Square, Scallop Square, Star, Large Star and 1-3/4" Circle Punches; Riding Hood Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon; Paper Snips; Crimper
How to make the Spiral pop-up: Punch out a 1-3/4" Circle and cut it into a spiral! Glue the center of the spiral to the middle of the bottom inside card. Put a dab of adhesive on the end of the spiral. (I used glue dots, but Kristen used Tombow Multi-purpose, so use whatever you prefer.) Close your card to adhere the top of the spiral to the inside top of the card - that way you know it will close properly.
How to make the stars: Run your card stock through the crimper BEFORE you punch out your stars. For the large stars, punch out a SMALL star FIRST, leaving enough room to punch a large star around it. (Turn the large star punch upside down to center around the small star.

Make a Card with a Hidden Message!
If you liked yesterday's Easter card, you'll love making your own Hidden Message card.
To make a Hidden Message Card:
Surprise! Here's the hidden message:
To make a Hidden Message Card:
- Start with your base card. I started with a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" base of Kraft card stock and plan to just write where the hidden message is. You can make the base a regular card, if you would like.
- Make the bottom half of the front. The bottom Chocolate Chip piece of card stock is 2-3/4" x 4-1/4" and I used the Spiral punch along the top border. If you want to use the Scallop Edge or Eyelet Border punches, you'll want to account for the card stock that is punched off and make this piece a little larger.
- Make the top half of the front. The top Pacific Point card stock is 3" x 4-1/4". I tied a knot in the Kiwi Kiss ribbon, wrapped it around and attached the ends to the front (under the b is for birthday image).
- Hinge the top and bottom together. Overlap the bottom half over the top half by about 1/2". Punch a hole through both layers on the left side using the 1/16" circle punch and use a brad to attach.
- Put it all together. Tape the bottom and sides of the bottom half to your base card. DO NOT put adhesive where it will interfere with the "swing" of the top.
- Add your message. Slide the top of the card up and to the left. Stamp or write your hidden message.
Happy Easter!
