Supplies:

Patterened Paper - Pink Paislee

Directions:
1. Start with a 12x12 piece of cardboard or chipboard (something solid) and apply a generous amount of extreme tac to adhere the paper to.
2. Adhere a 6x12 piece of patterned paper to the right side of the chipboard. Then using the Fiskars Fingertip Knife trim out sections from the Pink Paislee paper and adhere using extreme tac in layers to the left side of the chipboard. Leave some of the right side unglued so you can slide your next layers underneath.
3. Using the Fiskars Cloud punch, punch out 3 clouds and attach to your page using U-Cut foam to hide any gaps.
4. Using the Fiskars Notebook border punch punch out a strip of paper and add some extreme tac to the inside edge of the paper and adhere under the second layer of papers. Leave the right side of the notebook unglued so you can slide in your list.
5. Add a strip of ribbon to the left side of your projects using ribbon adhesive. Bunch it up as you go along, but leave a flat spot for your title.
6. Using the finger tip knife and trip out a piece from the Pink Paislee paper to use as your title and adhere some U-cut it foam to the back. Position on your project over the flat spot in your ribbon and then add your title.
7. Print out your list and using the Fiskars paper trim, trim your paper to size. My finished size was 6x10.
8. Apply extreme tac to the back of the list and slide under the paper that has been punched with the notebook border punch and smooth out. Add adhesive anywhere that needs it still.
9. Remove the large stamp shown in this image from the stamps and cut in 1/2 length wise and then stamp a border to the right side of your list.
10.Adhere a small cupcake holder and star to the bottom of your list using Raisen's.
11. Using the Fiskars fingertip scissors trim out an arrow from the Pink Paislee paper and adhere over that using U-Cut foam
12. Add a Raisen to the back of a metal clock and adhere to your page. Use the Finger Knife to poke a hole to attach with a brad.
13. The back of some buttons can have that big bulky spot to attach it with. I don't like how it looks on my project so I simply snip off the back and attach with a Raisen!

I created a flower accent for my card that was inspired by paper cone wreaths. I used Fiskars Cloud Squeeze Punch to create the scalloped petals by rolling them into tiny cone shapes and then securing them in place with Glue Arts Mini Adhesive Squares.
