Shop Laura Kelly – Button and Felt Heart Garland

ShopLauraKelly.com has some of the cutest craft kits put together by one of my best friends, Laura Kelly! One of my favorite kits in the collection is the Button and Felt Heart Garland!
Laura is very creative and has licenses with several companies! The kits that she has put together come with everything you need to put your projects together!
This particular kit includes felt hearts, ribbon, colorful embroidery floss, buttons and a needle.
Instead of using my ribbon to hold the hearts for the banner, I decided to cut the ribbon into 4 inch strips and glued them together to make a little loop using Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue. I then glued them to the backs of my hearts.
Once they were dried, I turned the hearts over and glued a coordinating color button to the front.

Then, I slid them onto my embroidery floss that I left together to look like a rainbow!

It also makes a great necklace! I love it! So, go on over to ShopLauraKelly.com and check out Laura’s cute little craft kits!

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!

Expressionery.com is currently running a special of 25% off Sitewide with the code: SPRINGSALE. They are also offering free shipping with a purchase of $50 or more!

Hope you like this adorable card as much as I do! You can make one yourself!

Until next time……

Button Christmas Tree Earrings

2 Replies

Check out these adorable Button Christmas Tree Earrings that I made using Laura Kelly’s collection of buttons from Buttons Galore and More! I have a great love for buttons and Laura’s are awesome!

Materials used:
Laura Kelly Buttons from Buttons Galore & More
Head Pins
Earring Hooks
Round Nose Pliers

First, I started out by picking out my buttons. I made sure that the green ones were somewhat graduated, so that they made a tree shape. Then, I chose some brown ones for the trunk and then yellow to represent the star. Once I laid them out the way I wanted them, I placed them on the head pin.
When all of my buttons were on the head pin, I used my round nose pliers to create a loop. I then opened up the end of the earring hook and placed it on the head pin loop and then closed it using the pliers. Then I did the other one the same way!
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! And they turned out super cute! I plan to wear them a lot during the month of December! Hope you liked my Button Christmas Tree Earrings! Now you can make your own!

Pink Button Bracelet

I love dangly bracelets and this pink button bracelet is super cute and super easy! And it can be worn in October to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness.

What you need:

Laura Kelly’s Sweet Blush Collection Buttons from Buttons Galore & More
Jump Rings (two different sizes)
Chain (sized to fit your wrist)
2 piece toggle clasp set
Wire Looping pliers (round nose pliers)

Using my wire looping pliers, I opened all of my jump rings slightly, most of them big enough to get a button on them and then connect them to another button and the rest of them only big enough to connect to the chain. As you can see in the picture below, I connected a few buttons to make a strand or just left them as singles. I did try to make it even, so that it would not be too heavy on one end. I also used two jump rings to connect each piece of the toggle clasp to the ends of the chains.

After I had all of my buttons together with jump rings, I attached them to the chain. And then it was complete!

Hope you like my Pink Button Bracelet. Thanks for reading, and
