Blankets and Buttons



We are SO EXCITED to be hopping with Buttons Galore and More for a whole week. We have some fun projects to share that all include an abundance of buttons that were so generously sent to our team.

Buttons Galore and More provides a wide selection including specialty designed embellishments for celebrations, holidays, and various other events and themes. Find a plethora of choices on their website at Buttons Galore and More!

This week has been one of those weeks when I would love to grab a blanket, curl up and hide from the world!  Well, since I can’t do that, I’ve got a super cute little House-Mouse® that can!  Isn’t this a sweet stamp?  I love it!  I tried to mimic the patterned paper with my design of circles and hexagons and I have to admit, I’m pretty pleased with the results.  The sweet buttons from Buttons Galore was the perfect finishing touch!



Here’s what I used to create this card:

Stampendous:

Plus:
Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives
Memories Growing Garden Patterned Paper by Ki®
Nestabilities® Hexagon Dies by Spellbinders® Paper Arts
Nestabilities® Circle Dies by Spellbinders® Paper Arts
Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread®
Copic® Markers (T2, T4, T6, E50, E51, E53, R02, R81, R83, R85, R87, C0, C1)

Here’s what I did to create this card:

Stamp Baby Blanket image with black ink, color with markers and die cut with largest hexagon die.
Stamp sentiment with black ink and die cut with smallest hexagon die.
Die cut largest circle and smallest circle from green cardstock.
Create an A2 card base with a tent fold from green cardstock.
Trim a piece of patterned paper to fit 1/8″ smaller than card base on all sides.
Adhere patterned paper to card base.
Adhere hexagonal die cut sentiment to small die cut circle.
Adhere hexagonal die cut main image to large die cut circle and then adhere to card front.
Layer sentiment onto large button, adhere to card.
Layer smaller buttons with crochet thread and adhere to card as shown.
Thread single button with crochet thread and adhere to card as shown.

Here’s a list of my teammates that have additional inspiration to share:
