BFF Card
Okay, here it is! The BFF card that I won first AND Best in Show on. Like always, choose prints and colors to fit your style or recipient. Enjoy!
Supplies
Dark card stock- cut 5.75″ x 6.75″ and 3″ x 3″
Medium card stock- cut 10-7/8″ x 6.5″
Medium printed paper- cut 5.25″ x 7″ and 2.75″ x 2.75″
Dark printed paper- cut 2 pieces at 2.5″ x 6.25″
Light printed paper- cut 3″ x 5″ and 2″ x 2.75″
Ribbon
Gems or pearls
Ink pad
Sentiment stamp
2 wooden heart buttons
Pop dots
Adhesive
Paper cutter
- Place large piece of dark card stock down on table.
- Align and attach ribbon to front of dark card stock in center. The bow will be to the right hand side of the card, so leave more ribbon on the left than the right, ensuring there is enough to make a bow with.
- Take medium card stock and with the long edge horizontal, score and fold both the right and left side at 2.75″.
- Adhere the medium card stock to the center of the dark card, ensuring the ribbon is clear and able to be tired.
- Layer medium printed paper inside, on top of medium card stock (see picture below)
- Layer 3″ x 5″ light printed paper in center of medium printed paper for a writing area
- Adhere the two pieces of dark printed paper on the “flaps” of the card
- Stamp sentiment on the small piece of light printed paper
- Layer the dark card stock and medium printed paper together
- Using pop dots, adhere printed image to center of medium printed paper
- Decorate with gems/pearls as desired
- Pull the ribbon over to the right side of the card, and with pop dots adhere sentiment layers to only the left flap (see picture below)
- Tie ribbon into a bow and trim as needed
- Using leftover ribbon, thread through button holes and tie in knot
- Adhere gems/pearls to buttons
- Adhere to front of card

Very cool card. I don’t do cards. I don’t make them, and I rarely even buy them. But this is beautiful. Keep up the good work.
Oh, and the story about your husband in the next post was hilarious.=)
