Button Buddies

I love Button Buddies, it is such a versatile set that can be used for birthdays, welcome of baby, Christmas, thank you and so much more . . .
The vase with flowers looks great when you add the SU flower buttons
As does these gorgeous flowers - with a little twine and a torn edge for texture
This idea was cased from Ailsa, a fellow demonstrator who does the most gorgeous work
We also played with bubbles together...perfect plum begged for the pigs once again.
This gorgeous idea with the snail was cased from the SU Demonstrator ideas site.  I love this card.

A wonderful group of ladies from Brisbane visit every few months for a day of craft.  This time the ladies brought along their children - of all ages... This is what they created wth the Button Buddies set.
A selection of cards from a workshop I held recently.
I love the different looks, and hope these ideas inspire you to include buttons in your card and scrapbook creations.

Backgrounds - Ink Pad Drag

Ink Pad Drag.  I saw this technique on the SU Demonstrator's Stampin Connect web site.  I loved it and when I found out how easy it was, I just had to share.

A taste of Christmas

This is FUN!
A little one for love...

Sale-A-Bration is my favourite time of the year...and in 2013 Feeling Sentimental was and still  is my favourite stamp set. This is why

Materials :- 
Whisper white card stock, Ink pad and stamp set
Method:-
Step 1 Open ink pad
Step 2 Drag ink pad over paper in one flowing motion
Step 3 Stamp or Powder Emboss image of your choice on background
Step 4 Cut card stock to size and assemble project.

You may need to practice a couple of times before you do it on your card because each time you stop or slow your motion, you get a line (as you can see on the card above).  This is a nice background and so quick and easy to achieve.

Stampin' spots are effective too.  I used a garden green spot randomly stamped to create this background...

Stampin' Up! Button Buddies is a darling set that contains this very cute snail which co-ordinates purrrfectly with Stampin' Up! buttons.  I love this card, my son does too.  So have a play using your ink pads and let me know how you go.

Ink pad drag backgrounds, I hope you like this quick and easy effect.
Happy craftying xx
