I love the wide ric rac! Photo depicts card front and card inside. I have been making 4 dupe cards at once...when I have the time to play. To create the interior popped image simply take a 1" x 4.5" strip of cardstock and score every 1". Fold along score lines and adhere end to end to create a square; adhere this unit to the card and popped element. 1" score lines can be adjusted more or less depending on the height of your popped element (if popped element is too tall it will peek out of the card when closed).
Tip for the clear button on card front: I adhered a ribbon length first, attaching ribbon ends at the back of the puppy element. Thread another ribbon segment through the button holes and tie in overhand knot. Trim ribbon ends; adhere with glue dot.
Puppy noses were colored in using a Gelly Roll Glaze pen in black. It gives an embossed and glossy surface, just like a cute wet puppy nose!
Card layout inspired from SU Art From the Heart 2005 CD; finished card size: 5.5" x 4.25".

Very cute card!!! Thanks for the tip on the puppy nose...I could not figure out why all my puppy noses look washed out--I couldn't get a dark black color. This card just screams FUN!!!

Loving the WIDE ric rack! Less is more, don't you think? I love the colors of this card! The white WIDE ric rack looks so clean and really breaks up the card! Doesn't take away from the cuteness factor!!! Ric Rack is the rage......
