Button Bell

This 'n' That

25 Nov

Here's another one…this is kinda fun…going through the catalog and looking at the stamp sets a little differently. It was like when I did the Diorama's.  I did the same thing then, looking at the stamp sets to see how I could make a scene.

So this time it was kinda obviously easy to add a button to this set…but…I wanted a big silver button for the bell.  I took one of the big buttons from the Playground buttons pack, and I sponge daubered on some platinum shimmer paint, I sprinkled a bit of clear embossing powder on, heated it up and voila'…I got me a silver platinum button.  Neat eh?

Here it is close up, it looks pretty cool, it has a bit of texture to it from the sponge dauber. And then I let it dry a little bit before I put the clear embossing powder on it, so the powder is here and there, it looks cool in person.

Here is the full card…nothing too fancy, the pretty button is my focal point. Sometimes I find that cards can get too busy, and your eye is like all over the place cause it does not know where to rest, it looks here at the button, here at the ribbon…oh wait what's over in the corner? So sometimes less is more.

Recipe for card:

Stamp Set: Christmas Classics

Paper: Whisper White, Garden Green, Real Red, Silver Brushed Silver, Bride DSP

Ink: Garden Green, Real Red Markers

Misc: Platinum Shimmer Paint, Playground Buttons, Clear Embossing Powder

OMG, I can not believe that Thursday is Thanksgiving already, that means I gotta get to the grocery store for food to cook. We are just staying home the three of us, I will put a turkey breast in the crockpot, make stuffing, potatoes, rolls, if Jeff's brother Tim comes over he likes broccoli casserole, pumpkin pie…hmm..what am I missing?

I thought I would give Etsy a shot, so I have started an Etsy store to sell some cards.  I have a few in there right now.  If you look over to the column on the right you will see My Etsy Store, and it will show you what I have available.  I will add more things as I go. Right now I am focusing on Christmas cards.

Well I better get off here and get busy then.  I hope you have been enjoying the button cards.

Have a great Wednesday and thanks for stopping in!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
