Good morning all! One of my favorite things to do when making cards, is to create my own fun embellishments! All you need are a few punches or dies, some stamps, stickers and buttons, bling or epoxy dots. Using this great sketch from PageMaps...
I created this fun card...
Supplies: Patterned Paper and Chipboard: Crate Paper Party Day, Buttons: October Afternoon, Crate Paper, Punches: Stampin’ Up, Martha Stewart, Cardstock: Bazzill
1) Punch some small circles in 2 different sizes. Add some stitching to the largest circle.
2) Add a button to your smaller circle and thread some twine through the button, all the way through the cardstock. This ensures that your button won’t be going anywhere!
3) Secure with a glue dot to your smaller circle and add diimensional adhesive behind it to layer over your larger circle.
4) Add a small sticker or die cut shape on the top, beside your button and you are done!
We would love to see the embellishments you create so be sure to link us up in the comment section below!
