...CPS PapertreyInk card


In honour of the fact that PapertreyInk are adding buttons to their stock, I made this oversized button card for the CPS sketch layout that Nichole is encouraging us to join in.

I cut a big circle with a nestie and then punched 4 holes with a making memories anywhere hole punch, couple of coats of clear embossing powder later, voila, large button.

I imagine all you ladies out there with craft robos and cricuts will make a much better job of it than me if you were to use chipboard!!

Threaded it with PTI cream ribbon, Lol. Layered it over a wee pattern stamped with Quilters sampler patchwork block and a design from the new sentiments set that I'm itching to get at. The sentiment is from First fruits - all stamps PTI.

Colours are Kraft card and Ocean tides. Yum.

Incidentaly this card is for my husband, our anniversary is tomorrow!! I love him to pieces!!

Hope it tickles!

PS, here's a pic of the countryside near Dromara in the snow yesterday - we happened to be out that way and it was beautiful.

    Happy Anniversary, Claire! Your card is wonderful. I know your husband will love it, especially since it was made especially for him by his love.

    Thanks also for sharing the picture. I long to visit Ireland someday. It must be the most incredibly beautiful country from all I've heard of it.

    Enjoy your day!

    When I saw your pic (while waiting for the rest to load), first I thought how appropriate! And then, I would have Never thought that large button was a nestie cut button! Your card looks fab, as they always do!! :> I also love you photograph. Its always nice to see what the land looks like where others live!
