I immediately thought of a pocket card, and so that's what I made.  To the left is the pull-out card that's inside my pocket card.  I usedmy super-dusty Giga Scalloped Oval punch (by Marvy Uchida??? It's been so long I don't even remember, they were a craze about 2 years ago) and Mega Oval punch because I was too lazy to go grab my Nestabilities and run them through the Big Shot (horrible, aren't I?).  I used my new Eyelet Border punch from SU! and of course, the stamp set you're all probably sick and tired of seeing - Friends 24-7.  I also have an upcoming "Stamps in the Mail" kit to get in the mail next week and we're using the Bella Birds DSP from SU! so I was in the mood to pull that out and play with it some before I have to get cranking on all of the kits.  Anyway, I dyed the ribbon with some Bordering Blue ink and a stampin' sponge and I used buttons from Fresh Favorites II (So Saffron) and Button Bouquet (Pink Pirouette and Baja Breeze) assortments.  It was crazy - the Baja Breeze one I thought matched pretty well when layered with the others on the card.  Close enough for me, anyway!  I tied some Linen Thread into little bows on each button and stuck them on with mini glue dots.  I did a lot of paper piercing around the ovals and on the top and bottom of the pull-out card.  This was a really fun card to make - I used to make pocket cards all the time and think I need to make some more!!  I would love to see what you make and submit over at CP, so please leave a comment letting me know you played along so I can give you some raves in a comment on your card!!
