First up, is the CraftGeek Punch It! This is the punch that 'beats all punches'! One punch = endless patterns! There are clearly marked paper & alignment guides on the base, so you can line the punch up perfectly every time, and every which way you choose to! There are 5 different Filigree Pattern punches available. The one used on this project is 'Winter' model #7201.
Next up, is the CraftGeek Pin It! Hold on to your hats girls, because you can use this Decorative Stapler, ANYWHERE on your page or project. That's right, anywhere! The top and bottom are separate pieces that align magnetically (and perfectly!) anywhere on your page. So now you can have a decorative staple, wherever you want it! With 5 different styled pins, you have plenty of design options available to you now! On this card, I used model #7002 'Winter Hearts' in Red.
Now, let's make a card!
1. Using your Purple Cow 2 in 1 Combo Trimmer model #1040, cut the card base 9" x 6 1/2". Here, I used Core'dinations Color Core cardstock Vintage Collection 'Pink Tutu'. Fold along the long edge so your card measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/2".
2. Use the CraftGeek Punch It! 'Winter' model #7201 and punch one 'corner' section on the top edge of the card, on both the left and right sides.
3. Trim a piece of Cosmo Cricket's 'Chemistry: Forget Me Not' (backside) 4 1/2" x 4 1/4". Staple a border of 'Winter Hearts' in Red along the top edge of this piece, using the CraftGeek Pin It! model #7000. Use fine-tip scissors and trim the border edge along the staple line, to enhance the decorative stapled border.
4. Ink the edges of this piece with Colorbox Cat's Eye Inks in Dark Brown. Run the Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro along both sides and bottom edge on the back of the trimmed piece, and adhere to the front of the card base, making a pocket.
5. Trim a Journaling Card from Cosmo Cricket's 'Chemistry' line, and cut around the edge. Ink with Colorbox Cat's Eye Inks in Warm Red. Place this inside the pocket on the front of the card.
6. Select 2 of the 'Button Fashions' from the 'Chemistry' line. Here, I used 2 of the shapes that have layers, and separated the layers. Using the thinner outer layer of 2 shapes, cut a small section from each piece, and adhere the ends back together with Glue Arts Extreme Micro Adhesive Squares. You should have 2 sections that are slightly curled up now. Adhere the larger one using the Micro Adhesive Squares, to the bottom right corner of your card front.
7. Using Helmar's Scrap Dots Adhesive, adhere the smaller curled edge just inside the larger one, off-setting the 'petal' edges. Knot a piece of Ivory Grosgrain ribbon through the button-holes on the center piece, and using your fingers curl up the edges of the petals for added dimension. Adhere this to the center using the Scrap Dots to really pop it out!
