Add a Button

Well, another week and another Fab 'n' Funky Challenge, with the theme this week of "add a button", and as we are so close to Christmas I thought I'd take the opportunity to add to my very small collection of Christmas Cards (probably got more than I think, but finding them in my craft room is going to be a challenge in itself!).

I really like this card as it's so simple I can re-create it a lot of times & play catch up on the Christmas makes.  I didn't have any buttons the right colour but I did have some small wooden ones so I just coloured this with some acrylic paint.  The holly leaves were a freebie die with the latest Crafters Inspiration magazine and the sentiment is also a Die'sire die.  I added some scribbled lines with fine liner pen and all done!  Taking simple to a whole new level!

Well, I hope you are all more organised for Christmas than me, and I look forward to seeing your button makes!

Paper Piecing

Hi All, well another week with Fab 'n' Funky and another challenge, this week it's Paper Piecing.

For my card, I've used coloured panels on a monochrome background and I couldn't resist the opportunity to get another Christmas card made!

I love these background layer stamps from Crafters Companion, they create cards so easily, and using a couple of bauble dies on a fully coloured panel looks really effective, I inked the edges of the baubles with Gold Midas Metallic ink and raised them on foam pads.  The side panels are again Crafters Companion from the Poinsettia Perfection collection.

Well, I look forward to seeing what everyone has made this week and see your interpretation on Paper Piecing!

TTFN
