Button Latte Circus

My goal for this card was to use these 2 buttons from the Button Latte Designer Button Pack in a unique way. Here's what I came up with!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• The white flower button in the middle of the scallop image is jazzed up by punching out a Bermuda Bay circle from the Crop-A-Dile, attaching it with a Mini Glue Dot, and lacquering the top with Crystal Effects!
• The brown flower button on the lower right hand corner got it's attitude by slicing off a thin piece of White Cardstock and tying it through the button – no ribbon needed!
• Adding punched out images – textured punch outs over top of solid in the same tone – is a great way to add some sass, as shown here with the circle background!
• HURRY!!! The Bermuda Bay color is going to be retiring in just a few short weeks!!! Order while you still can using my Online Ordering link below or in the right hand sidebar!

Get Well Bandaid

I made this fun card for my aunt who is recovering from surgery. I received this stamp set free at Convention for one of my Annual Achivement Awards, and had yet to use it! Decided it was time to whip it out  — it's a fun one!

This card is also a huge milestone for me… this is the FIRST card I think I've ever done without Stampin' Dimensionals on it!!!!!! I honestly can't believe it myself… as I sit here typing out the Supply List I'm still thinking there must be a mistake…!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• The "bandaid" look was replicated as a cardstock layer by running Creamy Caramel Cardstock through the Big Shot with a Polka Dot Texture Plate! TIP: To get a deeper impression with your texture plate, try spritzing your cardstock with a little water on the BACK side of the cardstock. If you do it on the front you'll get water spots on your cardstock. The extra moisture helps to mold the cardstock as it goes through your machine!
• Buttons always have two sides! I needed a small vanilla button and the only one I had (or so I thought!) had a flower on it. I just flipped it over and voila! A brand new button.
• Tying some Linen Thread through your button holes is the perfect way to finish it off. The adhesive of choice for buttons? Mini Glue Dots, hands down!
• Tying one ribbon type around another is a great way to add some added interest.
