Hey Baby

The challenge this month over at A Passion for Papertrey is to create a project with a baby theme.  As you know, I’m a bit button mad at the moment, so decided to use the cute little bear from the Baby Button Bits set, along with the ever so cute quote from the Inside and Out baby set.  The bear is sitting on a glittered chipboard circle and I’ve added some liquid pearls around the scallop frame to give a bit of dimension.  The button is a lovely vintage one, just the sort you’d find on a little baby cardigan – cute or what?!

Spring has Sprung

Oh how great it is to be able to take my photos on the garden table in the sunshine, much easier than in my little photo tent trying to get my daylight lamp right!  Another card for my March classes, lovely pastel colours – those buttons look good enough to eat.

I’ve been having a bit of a tidy up in my craft room too.  I bought some of the new Jenni Bowlin acrylic paints last week to update my magazine holders.  I got some Tando chipboard book plates to complete the look.  They look much nicer on my shelf now!

More button love…..

 

Here are some more samples for my March classes.  Oh how I love the combination of buttons and crunchy white glitter!   I think I’m feeling spring in the air as I’m choosing lots of pastel spring colours.

Daring Cardmaker Challenge

The challenge this week at Daring Cardmakers is ‘homebaked’.  You have to make at least one embellishment for your card.  I made a couple of cards featuring vellum flowers made with my perfect petals flower stamp. 

Button Love

The theme for my March classes is ‘button love’.  I recently got a set of Papertrey stamps called Baby Button bits, and as I started using them to make up some cards for the class, I thought of what other stamps I had that would work perfectly with buttons.  This flower stamp was a recent freebie with Craft Stamper magazine, and the layout of this card is a very unusual one for me – I usually avoid symmetrical designs as I prefer a less uniform style, but I think this works well with the button flowers.

This is one of the stamps from the Papertrey set, very simple, but fabulous with these gorgeous autumn buttons.

  

There are a couple of text stamps in the set where you can pop a button instead of an ‘o’ – you can’t see from this poorly lit photo, but I’ve added some glamour dust to the lettering to give a bit of sparkle.

This card is using some Doodlebug ice cream stamps which work perfectly with these tiny buttons and some lovely pastel colours.

This card is using the freebie stamp from this months Craft Stamper.  I’ve stamped it across the card, then stamped and cut out a butterfly and placed it over the middle stamped image.  It’s coloured in with promarkers and lots of glamour dust, then I’ve added 3 tiny buttons to the centre.

This last card is made using the latest digistamp from Pink Petticoat.  Absolutely made for adding some cute vintage buttons.
