Last time Cousin Pati stopped by, we were talking about buttons. We both have extra buttons lying around.
I don’t often use buttons on cards – it makes a card expensive to mail.
I did pull out an old Sizzix/Stampin’ Up! Embosslits die – Sweet Buttons, to create paper buttons.
Supplies: Paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, PopTone Razzle Berry, Sour Apple, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, dies – Reverse Confetti (quilted tag), Stampin’ Up! (buttons), corner rounder – We R Memory Keepers.
An embossing folder really makes a quick card!
Happy Halloween! (sorry I don’t have a card to match the holiday!)
Supplies: Stamp – Stampin’ Up!, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy, Tempting Turquoise (retired), ink – VersaFine Clair Midnight, dies – Lawn Fawn, embossing folder – Tim Holtz/Sizzix, embossing powder – Stampendous Detail clear, silver cord – Paper Mart.
I was wishing for summer weather and fun sunglasses when I made this!
I cut 3 pairs of glasses with the My Favorite Things die (On A Whim, Razzle Berry, Basic Black) and glued them together (leaving one layer off the lenses). I dotted a bit of Wink of Stella into the tiny cutouts on the cat eye corners for some shimmer.
Supplies: Stamp – My Favorite Things, paper – American Crafts Amy Tangerine On A Whim, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Pop Tone Razzle Berry, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Pool Party, ink – VersaFine Onyx Black, ZIG Wink of Stella clear, die – My Favorite Things, embossing folder Stampin’ Up! (Sizzix).

This is the card I made for Offspring2 recently. I cannot believe 21 years have passed!
When I make birthday cards for the offspring, I really try to incorporate interests from the year that has passed. To squeeze all of that onto this card, I made it 10 1/2 inches tall! Hence the handmade envelope. I looked at a standard business envelope and went from there. (Why, yes, I do have a We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board…but I didn’t want the envelope to have flaps like a regular rectangular card/invitation envelope, so I didn’t use it.)
Supplies: Stamps – Hampton Arts, Hero Arts, OffiStamp, Papertrey Ink, Taylored Expressions, paper – Lowes paint chip, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Kaleidoscope DSP (card & envelope), Real Red, Tangerine Tango, inks – Copic 110, E15, E23, R29, W1, W3, Papertrey Ink Fresh Snow, Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress Inks Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass, VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Papertrey Ink (numbers), Spellbinders (rectangle tag), Taylored Expressions (banner, photo), embossing folder – Tim Holtz/Sizzix, embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.
