Hello there! Everything is getting so busy with the holidays practically upon us. Are you ready? I feel like I have to get everything done this week cause Jacob will be home next week and I don't want to chance him seeing any gifts and want to spend time with him and Mikey too. So today I have a quick card I created with Blooming Button Bits, the new button set from Papertrey Ink. I absolutely love these button sets, they are so fun and more versatile than they seem at first glance. You don't even have to use buttons, there are so many possibilities out there, I used a combination of punched flowers and buttons for my card. The color combo is one of my favorites, Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Ripe Avocado and Dark Chocolate.
I love using that curvy border punch from EK Success to create a ground for my flowers, works perfectly and quickly everytime. The embossed background is an embossing folder from Quickutz, one of my favorites. I added glitter to my flowers by running them through my xyron (right side down) and just shaking the glitter on the adhesive, easy!
So that's it for today, I thought I had more time but the babies don't seem to want to nap at all!!! I have all three today so I have to go find out which one is still crying. I am hoping to make some peppermint fudge during nap but we'll see!! Have a good one!
This is a REALLY cute card, and I just love those glittery flowers!
