Christmas: Small squares

Not exactly a batch of cards — at least not in the sense of having identical designs — but they were made at the same time and with the intention of focussing more on creating with embellishments than with stamping or colouring.

I’ve been meaning to make a card with buttons ever since I got a sweet button-adorned Christmas card from Ruth (Crafting While the Baby Naps), but this is the first time I have actually broken into my button stash…

My other half randomly presented me with a bag of metal cog embellishments, which were perfect for building a Christmas tree.

When I discovered this star-shaped button in my stash, there was only one thing I could do with it — it just had to go on the top of a tree.

Supplies:

• stamps:
  Clearly Besotted – sentimental type
  My Favorite Things – oh Christmas trees
• inks:
  Delicata – silvery shimmer
  Avery Elle – jungle
  Versafine – onyx black
• pens:
  Copic multiliner – 0.25
• embellishments:
  miscellaneous buttons
  metal cogs
  glossy accents
  coloured metallic powder (for Fimo)
• paper and card:
  Stampin Up – kraft

Another catch-up post; these cards were originally made on 7th December.
