May Inspiration at Cute As A Button



Hey everyone!
Today I'm  sharing a card on the

I haven't made a baby card in a while and Francesca has
some great digis for a baby theme, so I chose to use
Baby Bear Buttons.


I gathered my materials.
I started by printing the image twice and coloring one of them.
I used a 12x12 piece of solid colored card stock,
circle and square cutting dies, an embossing folder and some ribbon.

The card stock was cut in half to create a 6x6 square card base.
I adhered a piece of white card stock.

I fussy cut the colored image.
I die cut the circles and embossed the white one.
The uncolored image was cut with a square die and matted.

I took the colored image and popped it on top of the uncolored die
and matted the embossed circle die cut.
The ribbon was adhered to a strip of colored card stock.

All the pieces were arranged and adhered to the card base.
I added the buttons and a bow to finish off.



I hope you'll check out this digi and all the other
products available at

And, we'd love to see you join us for the monthly challenge at the

Hello all!
I'm so happy you've joined me today.

I have an inspiration post up at

I created a card using a set called




This was a fairly easy card to create using
 a printed paper with flowers in the corner.
I took the coordinating all over flower print and fussy cut
some of the matching flowers in order to layer.
After coloring the image I die cut with a circle die
and framed with a scalloped circle die cut.
The sentiment is included in the set so I printed
and cut with a banner die. 
The finishing touches were to add the bow and some pearls!


I hope you'll visit the

One for the Ladies

It's time for a new challenge at
This week we want to see your projects
inspired by our theme of
"One for the Ladies"!

Out other sponsors this week are
All Dressed Up & Oddball Art.
I colored the image with pencil colors before fussy cutting.
Then I had the task of trying to find papers that would compliment
the colors I used. Normally, I'll decide on my papers before coloring
the image. But luckily I remembered I had a K & Company
paper pad and matching die cuts that worked out really well!
Then I added some glittery enamel dots and a bow to finish!

What would you create with this theme?
We'd love to see at
