I have jars and jars of buttons (!) so when I saw this idea of creating a tree with them, I jumped on it!  (And it didn’t even leave a dent in my button jars)  I started by making a triangle the size that I wanted for the card and then choosing buttons, pearls and beads to fill it in.  Some of the buttons are various clear buttons from SU that I backed with Comfort Cafe Designer Series and Silver Glimmer paper.  I threaded most of them with linen thread – some are just topped with pearls.

Sometimes I think Stampin Up is looking in my window because as soon as I decided to add the Tiny Tags “Merry”, it went on the Retiring List!  (So hurry up and grab it before it’s gone!)  The Snowflakes are cut with my Snow Flurry die – which is steel ruled and cuts through the Glimmer paper beautifully.  I added lots of Dazzling Details – sparkle, sparkle!

Supplies
Stamp Set – Tiny Tags
Card stock – Whisper White, Neutral Pack, Soft Suede, Comfort Cafe Designer Series paper, Silver Glimmer paper
Ink – Soft Suede
Etc – BUTTONS!, Snow Flurry die, linen thread, Dazzling Diamonds, glue, pearls, beads

I think there are lots of designs that could be done with buttons – so grab your jars of buttons (please tell me you have them too) and start creating!  Hugs, Fran

I needed a “themed” thank you card for some wonderful ladies who got stuck in the snow with me last week.  Stacks of Wishes is one of the hostess sets in the Spring Mini – and with a little tweaking – it was exactly what I wanted to say.  Starting with the Pop N Cuts base (love it!) I used the Label insert and added lots of snowflakes with the retired Snow Flurry die.  Then I used Stampin Write Markers to ink up just the top part of the stamp set.  Obviously the butterfly wasn’t going to cut it on this card!  Then I inked just the “thank you” for the bottom.  The Delicate Details Lace Tape finished off the card.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Stacks of Wishes, Friendly Phrases, Snow Swirled
card stock – Marina Mist, Subtles Pattern, Whisper White, Silver Gimmer
Stampin Write Markers – Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, Not Quite Navy
Etc – Delicate Details Lace Tape, Glitter Brad, Snow Flurry die (retired), Pop N Cuts Base (130099), Label insert die, Northern Flurry embossing folder

The kindness of strangers is amazing – pass it on!  Hugs, Fran

Happy Hour Treats

These cute little bags are cased from Connie Babbert.  I made lots of them for a Christmas party- some will hold peppermint sticks, cinnamon sticks or marshmallows.  This is where I used up the last of my “googly eyes” cello bags.  To make more I cut some other cello bags that were the same width, just longer, to 5 1/4″ tall and then used the pinking hearts border punch to finish the top. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Happy Hour
card stock – Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Be of Good Cheer DSP, Red glitter paper
Ink – Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler
Etc – Snow Flurry die, Gumball Green ribbon, Crystal Effects, 1 3/4 circle punch, circle #2 die

Thanks, Connie, for some great inspiration!  Hugs, Fran
