Button Love ~in more ways than one {giveaway}.......


Button love today~all kinds!!  My all time time favorite embellishments is buttons.  They come in all different sizes, shapes, colors and styles!!   Buttons are beautiful~just like rhinestones, beads and stones.
This card is using the button set by Stampin' Up!. 


I love how these four colors went so well together and depending on the color combo ~blue's for boys, pink's for girls etc ~this style would work for many card themes.  Love that!!!


This is a side view so you can see the dimension of the real buttons on the card.  I used Bazzill cardstock and machine sewed around the card front.  I stamped my buttons randomly and hand sewed the real ones onto the card front~


I'm on a button roll today!!  This is a new stamp set from Papertrey Ink !!  Are these not adorable?  I made them as a stand alone embellishment either to use on cards or scrapbooking pages, album covers ~ so many possibilities!! Super cute if you ask me~


Just wanting to make sure you see how super cute these are!!  The stamp set comes with button stamps also~so the cards could be made into a flat embellishment!!!


I have several favorite products that I plug on my blog because they are so clever!!! This is one of those~ I love making flowers out of ribbon and this makes it so easy and the end result is perfect!!! Thank you Cosmo Cricket for Glubers!!!


Here are the flower/button cards I made.  What a cute gift for a crafty friend!!!  Leave me a comment and become a follower {or if you already are} just let me know and in a few days I will pick a winner  via(random .org) and I will send you these 5 button cards and 3 flower cards and some extra" crafty goodies"!!! Have a wonderful weekend and hope you enjoyed the button love today
