I needed just a little "jump start" to get me making cards again. The new challenge for April in the Cuttlebug group I'm a member of is to use a button (or buttons) on your card. Perfect - just a tiny challenge. I've also been wanting to use some patterned paper on a card and make a coordinating envelope.
I stamped the flower on off-white cardstock. It's from a Gina K set. I colored directly on the stamp. For the stem and leaves I used a green Memento marker and on the flower I used a Tim Holtz black Distress marker. I stamped the flower again on the polka dotted paper and cut it out. My button is the flower center. I traced around the stem and leaves with the marker. I used my Martha Stewart scoring board to score lines around the outside. The matting piece is the reverse side of the dotted paper - from My Minds Eye. I used a Cuttlebug die for the "thanks."
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

I love 2 sided DSP just because I know everything will match perfectly, as yours does. What a pretty matching set!
I really love this cute card and matching envelope. Do you have the envelope maker? I love mine - if I would remember to use it!
I love the card and the matching envelope. Placing the button in the center of the flower was a great idea. My eyes were drawn went right to it, perfect! :)

Such a pretty card and envelope. Now I know what to do with all my excess scrapbook paper. Make envelopes with the 2-sided ones on my Envelope Board - thanks for the idea!
I'm guessing you used one of those envelope makers for your envelope. It really looks so darling coordinating with the card. Thinking more and more lately I should get one of those. I had one a long time ago from SU! but didn't use it so let it go (I think -- I'll have to check). I even still have the envelope glue. This is so cute, Lynette!
So special to have a matching envelope!!! I haven't tried my board yet but you've shown me how special it can be. Great card and a great die cut.
This is such a nice set, love the way everything matches. Its pretty easy to make envelopes with Score pal isn't it?
