It's A Scrap Yard Series - Post #4

Another simple card today using all my scraps! I debated adding a sentiment or not, but sometimes I like to keep it open until I need a card for a particular occasion. I think this will eventually become a birthday card, but you never know...

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Melon Mambo,
Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Buttons, Linen Thread

Like yesterday's card, all my pieces were already cut and die cut with my Big Shot using the Finishing Touches Edgelits. It was after I glued all the pieces down that I thought I needed some dimension. I just so happened to have flower buttons in all the colours! Three were from the Ice Cream Parlour Ribbon & Button Pack from SAB a few years ago (but you can purchase on the Clearance Rack currently!) and the other two are from the Brights Buttons, I believe.

Until next time, stay crafty!

Button Buddies Gift Set

I needed a cute gift set and whipped this one up pretty quickly, thanks to the Button Buddies, SU! note cards & envelopes and coordinating accessories.

Paper: Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Ice Cream Parlor DSP
Ink: Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive
Stamps: Button Buddies
Tools: Big Shot, Finishing Touches Edgelits Dies
Accessories: Buttons

This set was so quick and easy to do because SU! products coordinate so nicely together! All I did was cut a 2-inch strip of paper from the Ice Cream Parlor DSP and accented it with the Finishing Touches Edgelits in a coordinating colour. I stamped the floral image from Button Buddies in Old Olive, added some flower buttons (also from the Ice Cream Parlor pack) and then stamped the vase again in a coordinating colour and popped it up with Dimensionals.

Since this was a gift, I put the four cards with coordinating envies in a cello bag and used the Ice Cream Parlor coordinating ribbon to package it up. I gave them as a birthday gift along with my  button birthday card I posted here and the recipient love it! Doesn't take much to put a smile on someone's face when you make handcrafted items!

What do you think?

Until next time, stay crafty!
