Day 7 - Buttons

Buttons come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes and styles making them fabulous embellishments for cards and paper craft projects. You can use a single button threaded with twine to add a decorative element, as I've done for my card, or you can layer them on thick to create a focal point for your project.


YOUR TURN: Let's see how creative you can be with your buttons.

  1. I love how you colored up your snowman. I have tons of buttons (like TONS) but sometimes I'm afraid if I use too many I'll run out...which will never happen. So maybe this will be the push I need :)

  3. For Christmas, a few years ago, my daughter gave me an old jar filled with buttons, that she found at a yard sale. It has some really neat buttons. What a great gift for a crafter like me. Love the shape of your card and this new digi. I like the twine laced through the button holes and tied in a bow. Combined with the papers, it give the card an 'old world' feel.

    ... I confess, I'm a button addict, I collect them, all too often forgetting to use them in my creations => THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION!
