Happy Spring Button Greeting Card

1 Reply

I love Spring and I love Buttons! I created this adorable Happy Spring greeting card using Laura Kelly’s Buttons and Lady Bug Buttons from Buttons Galore & More!

Materials used:
Laura Kelly Buttons from Buttons Galore & More
Lady Bug Buttons from Buttons Galore & More
Card stock from Core-dination from Darice
Card/Envelope from Core-dination from Darice
Fabric Tag
Tulip Fabric Markers from ILoveToCreate
Hot glue gun and hot glue
Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue
Aleene’s Paper Glaze
I started by making paper rosette flowers. I cut 3/4″ and 1/2″ paper strips with cute card stock. Bending the paper back and forth, I created a zigzag strip. Once I had them all folded, I used a hot glut gun to glue the strips to each other, connecting two strips together on each end. Once they were connected and formed a circle, I positioned the sides together to form the rosette and hot glued the center and let it dry.
I cut my stems and leaves from a green striped card stock and glued them to a card using my Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue. I added buttons to the paper rosette flowers! I used green buttons for the grass!

Buttons Galore & More has adorable little lady bug buttons, so I attached them to my card using Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue. I added them to the paper rosette flowers, the stem and the grass!
Using a fabric tag and Tulip Fabric Markers, I wrote Happy Spring and added lines and dots! I applied it to the card using Aleene’s Paper Glaze and added a little ladybug to cover the hole on the tag.
I love this adorable little Happy Spring card and someone special will be receiving it soon!

Buttons Galore & More is offering free shipping on orders over $30! They also offer Coupons for their buttons!

Once I completed my card, I used my Laura Kelly personalized self-inking stamp from Expressionery.com to stamp the back showing that I created this card with love!

Teacher Appreciation Gift – Stenciled Monogram Burlap Basket

4 Replies

Teacher Appreciation Week is right around the corner. We all appreciate the hard work, love and dedication that our teachers put into our children’s education. Do you need a quick, easy and cute teacher appreciation gift? This stenciled monogram burlap basket was super simple and quick.

Materials:
Burlap basket (I found mine in the Target $3 section and it’s nice and sturdy)

Tulip Fabric Paint
Sizzix Eclips2
Contact Paper

Directions:

1. Measure your basket, so that you know how big your letter (and name) can be.

2. Using the electronic cutting machine software, I chose a font for the letter and name. In this case, I used the Sure Cuts A Lot software. And I chose the Bell Font.

3. Using the Sizzix Eclips2, mat and my contact paper (placed on the mat face up), I cut out the letter and name.

4. I didn’t want to use the actual letter cutouts, so I pulled up the outlined piece of contact paper and placed it on my burlap basket making sure it was centered.
