Button heart

I have another of the cards I made for Making Cards using butons as the main focus. I used a heart die which I placed on the card and then laid a selection of buttons from Crafty Ribbons inside the die. Sticking them down in shape was the trickiest and my first attempt where I used my normal 3d glue went in the bin as I was getting glue showing. I remembered I have some glue dots which I haven't used for ages and they worked perfectly, much less messy. I added some doodling and a LOTV sentiment. 

Over the rainbow

I had some lovely comments left on my button balloon card last Sunday so today I am showing the second of the button cards I made for Making Cards magazine. I had to check the colour order before I started and after sorting through my buttons decided to use some plain and some spotted buttons. I do love spots and stripes whether on buttons, ribbon, paper, home furnishings or clothes. I also love checks particularly for home furnishings.

Anyway onto my card which is quite simple. I used DCWV gauze paper and a Memory Box cloud die and added some doodling and a LOTV sentiment.

We are meeting my Mum in Norwich today as she wants to get a newer iPhone. She has my previous iPhone 4 which won't transfer her photos from her phone to her iPad as the software is no longer updated to enable that and transferring them using the transfer app is a bit of a pain. The weather isn't supposed to be good unfortunately but we shall enjoy seeing her and having lunch in the City.

Have you entered my candy?

Button balloons

As promised I have another of my Making Cards featured cards today. This is one of a series of 4 cards I made showing different ways of using up all those buttons we all have. These buttons are all from Crafty Ribbons and I added some grosgrain ribbon and baker's twine with a bit of doodling around the card.
