Greeting Cards... with buttons! (pic heavy)

[Shimmer413]

For Christmas this year, I am giving away "Greeting Card Grab Bags" consisting of 6 mixed greeting cards each.  Here are a few that are going into the mix.  This was my first serious attempt at making cards, so be nice!     Haha.  I used a button theme throughout and hand sewed them on, as well as handmade bows, etc.  I had a lot of fun making them, but they took fooooorrrreevverrr. ...  I always welcome comments and ideas for improving.  Thanks for looking!!  (Oh, and pardon the towel covering all of my crafting crap!)











  (I got my inspiration from a Martha Stewart tut on snowman cards, and then stemmed from there...)

Those are great! I especially love the leaves partly because the background paper is a perfect compliment to them. The little snowmen are very clever also~

Colorfuldayz, It took me a minute to know what "leaves" you were talking about.  I designed them as peapods... but now that you mention it, they do look more like leaves, don't they?!  Haha..    Cool!  A multi-function piece!  Thanks for mentioning that.  The background paper was a steal at the dollar store.  I <3 the dollar store.

I love all of those, the idea of using buttons on cards is one of the best ive seen in such a long time!

Your cards are very sweet.  I especially like the flowers, peas and snowmen.

These are really cute.  You have very nice handwriting as well.  I may have to "borrow" some ideas.  I never thought to use buttons..

Thanks!  I actually cannot take credit for the writing... I used rub-on transfers.  I love the clean look they have as opposed to stickers.
