Buttons, Buttons, Buttons!

This week's Christmas Card Challenge at Sparkle's Creations was to use stickers. I found some dimensional stickers from We R Memory Keepers in my stash. I decided to use the cute little elf and then cut like a million little stamped buttons out to finish it off.


You know for a while now I've put off making 5x5 cards because I like to have envelopes that match my cards. But then I saw all these CTMH people using CD sleeves with the circle windows to make cute little matching envies. LOVE that idea. And we have a huge box (250) of those sitting in the closet. So you will likely be seeing more square cards from me in the future!

Details: all CTMH unless noted
Paper: green and cream from stash
Ink: Creme Brulee, Olive, Cranberry
Stamps: Buttoned Together
Other: We R MemoryKeepers sticker

What a great card!!! Love your use of "Buttoned Together" - I love that stamp set! And this will work perfectly with a CD envelope! Great job!

Sarah said...

OK this card is just perfect!
How you cut out all those buttons I will never know. I have this SS and just cutting out a few drove me crazy. And you cut them out so perfectly. This is one of my favorite cards of yours.
Congrats on winning Kelly Jo's Color chef challenge.

This is precious. love all the buttons. You do great cutting. Did you sand any of them after you cut them out? I always end up sanding the stuff I cut out to get the sharp edges off and smooth everything. I think that is considered anal!!!! Yup, that's me.

Love the shade of green in your card!

What did you say about CD sleeves used as envelopes? Intriguing. I make tons of 5 x 5 in cards, but I had to order the envelopes online.

I would like to order 25 in time for Christmas. And if you could address the envelopes...
