Spring Button Card

by 10 Comments

I’m starting to play around with my Silhouette some more.  So far, I’ve got the hang of ungrouping and using the offset feature.  I know, the Silhouette is capable of doing like a hundred more things but what I like the most about it is the precise cutting.  Like Butter!So, here’s a Spring Button Card I made (by ungrouping & offsetting) using a Lori Whitlock file and embellished it with cheery Buttons Galore & More Spring Color Blend buttons.

I resorted to my trusty ‘ol Kraft paper as the base for this card {I heart Kraft}, matted it with some American Crafts chevron paper, wrapped green & pink twine around it, added green wire and stamped a sentiment from Pink By Design.

I know, such a simple Silhouette project.  Maybe, I’ll have to get a ‘lil wild and crazy and learn how to weld shapes together next. teehee.

  2. I love this card! It’s funny, I love cards with buttons and I rarely use them in my own cards. Weird! You’ve inspired me though to go through my stash (which is enormous) of buttons and make a card.

    Thanks for sharing over at the Pink Cricut.

    God bless and have a grateful day,
