Ohh I just love Taylored Expression images!! I confess - I pretty much cased this card out of the magazine - Go to Sketches - and the card is on page 149, and Debbie Olson created the card in the magazine. Even so - just casing took forever! I used real red as a base card, and Early Bird Cosmo Cricket DP - Early Bird collection -and I used Taylor Buttercream paper to stamp the image on. I did use a punch , my punchez friends!!! A corner punch - and oh boy - it was tough to punch through some of those corner layers!!! I got a thing for buttons - so of course there are buttons on the card - from Basic Grey JuneBug collection. I think I get extra punchez points for using and threading the needle to put the floss through the buttons!! I've got to make 4 more of these babies now that I've got my measurements together!!
Thanks for looking!!

Heheheheh!! Definitely extra points for threading those buttons!! I found myself actually sewing buttons onto crocheted flowers the other day and thought I was having a moment of dimentia (sp?) or something!! This is so cute!! I love the idea of a cupcake eating the cake!!
It's absolutely adorable, Deborah!! The papers and colors are so perfect for that image, and yes, you do get extra punchez points for using a needle and thread, LOL! Anyone who uses a needle and thread deserves the credit!!! TFS...

OK, what fun to see another fab Buttoneerz project from Debzi. So good to see you are patched up enough to do some creating again. Points for sewing on the buttons, sure. Most definitely. But NOT Punch points...maybe Button Threading points... This is so cute - great job on the image. Sort of a "mother and child reunion" thing don't you think - the cupcake is a wannabe fireman and has come to the rescue to put out the fire. Enough outta me... TTFN

Oh my word Deb, this is so bright and fun and just delicious!....until I read Miss Anne's comment about the floss being recycled from last weeks use. Now doesn't she know you can't thread floss through a needle. Too thick. Silly lady. Just threading the needle would have put me over the edge. So hard to see that tiny eye these days. Don't card how many tri focals I have. hehe Love your dp choice. Awesome card my friend. TFS :0)

Okzi Dokzi Cap'n Klumzy, I'm heeeerrrreeee!!! Figured I had to come see your card since you've been begging me on the Punchkateerz Forum Thread to do so. Actually, I am thrilled to see a new card by the one and only you!! I LOVE the papers and colors here Debz and that image is to die for. Beautifully colored and so funny! LOVE your use of the ONE punch - the corner rounder! And, NO, NO, NO threading a button has NUTINZ to do with The Punchkateerz, unless you used a teeny tiny lil punch for the holes to thread the ribbon through. And, I KNOW you didn't as I put it through my Cap'n Klutzi Did She Really Use A Punch Scanning Software and it came back a big, fat ZERO!!!! So, only 1 point for the corner rounder punch and only a loss of possibly 2 pounds on this one!! But, it did put a smile on my face and I really and truly LOVE this card!! Those buttons really are PERFECTO!!! Keep them punchez raized high my lil' defective detective!! TFS!!
