But never fear - Bronwyn was here! Literally!
Sunday night just gone, the ever-encouraging and inspiring Bronwyn Eastley, from the amazing "addinktive designs" came over to my house for our first ever "craft/chat" night! I had such a lovely time....and was so super blessed by Bronwyn in more ways than one, but the yummiest one was she brought takeaway Thai - mmmmmm YUM YUM!
Anyways...as the thought of making Christmas cards this year wasn't all that thrilling to me, Bronwyn helped by popping some awesome ideas into my head - thanks SO MUCH Bronwyn! This card is one of her generous ideas and I took it and I RAN! hehehehe
Using the cute little button die (Buttons #5), I punched out a heap using the Brights Designer Series Paper Patterns Stack and covered some with Crystal Effects and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds on them (and let dry) and also tied Linen Thread in some! So cute! And they are all popped up on Dimensionals.
I free-hand cut the pot and tied some more Linen Thread about it and hung the "Merry" tag from Tiny Tags. Such a bright, fun "different" Christmas card I reckon! Love it!

Okay this card is just too cute for words! Now I HAVE to buy that button die .. thanks ;) Do you think Bronwyn could come to my house and sprinkle some of her inspirational magic?
ReplyDeleteooooh, I love it too! What a funky card Tania! Going to pull out the button die now :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat funky and bright Christmas card Tania! I just adore it!
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable! I'm with Jodene on this one - wondering if Bron could just pop over to mine! Such a cute, happy card, Tania; it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE buttons and this is no exception! Love the bright colours you used Tania - and just the idea of a button Xmas tree - and like Jodene said - now I have another die on my list ;)

This is a great card and I must say your 'sneak peak' did not do it justice! I might have to 'gate crash' next time you and Bron get together for a craft/chat session as I would love to have some of that inspiration rub off on me! Love your result.
ReplyDeleteWOW, this card rocks, would have NEVER have thought to put buttons on a card like that, it is a really cool christmas card.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out really awesome. Love the sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds and the cute little bows! Will have to plan another night before the year is out.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love it. What a terrific way to use up all the old odds and sods buttons one has lying around the place. Great card Tan!
ReplyDeleteNow this is absolutely darling!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this card I didn't realise the buttons were from the die!!! How cute.
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute. I love it. Why do my buttons never look so cute? Really cool card.
ReplyDeleteMy buttons never look cute, either, Jo! This is adorable! Must get my die out and use it again! Hugs xxaxx
