--To add some pop to the card, I thought I'd use my scoring blade on my paper trimmer and score borderlines for each button. Simple to do, and adds a fun and inexpensive detail to the card (you've already got a trimmer, right?!). ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiquIHSbaT1bbiDJTMBkXrsmaT97MX7dPV2Y-n6MeU3xbQytg7kabNYoMmgY1IxDYBVr04nnswj6EZWvxSjuHOoJ-O9VjhwM0tmWPoi9zVrvx-fSbjkJV4ZTYhwuEwkiHe9-hxihipq-7Ax/s400/15+buttons+CU+Chocolate+Chip.jpg)

--To add further "punch," I used the Word Window Punch on a piece of Real Red (stamped first with Teeny Tiny Wishes, because that's so much easier than lining up the stamp on the punched image, remember!).

--I also used my Big Shot and the Perfect Details Texturz Plate to mimic the scoring of the Pumpkin Pie piece. I lined up my Early Espresso piece just so on the plate so that only the front half of the card body caught the texture, leaving me a smooth surface on which to write.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU2-PbEYnfpDLyKnHxLJdZ7cYuGb8eWs9k8r194WYKVWH6kbUET2xdt4kfFcfqA81fYU2HSBgcqbO-vX3-eb-9si8H85X5GemZkD6EvK7-yxUBDbBFw4ZPM3KeFj7ruAwkcRKzbT3aZcSQ/s400/15+buttons+CU+Real+Red.jpg)

--Speaking of Early Espresso, I used little slivers as "thread" and gently tied knots in my buttons. With a gentle touch, this is an easy, fun and inexpensive way to add to your project. Linen Thread is what I used to tie off the other buttons. All of them are easily adhered with Mini Glue Dots.
--Finally, this color scheme is brought to you by the fabulous Color Coach! Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Real Red (and I added Tempting Turquoise)... Thank heavens for a little help!
Thank you for your visit today!
