Button Front ~

I wanted to create a card with rows of buttons on it.  I punched out my shapes and lined them up.  It didn't look right. So, I got out my bakers twine and started threading them.  I'm still not sure it looks right.  I think it looks better.  I think the bows are sweet.



The buttons are attached to the card with glue dots.  They are not sewn to the card.

As you can see I used different colors of bakers twine. 

I had these cute little domed stickers that worked perfectly with these punched buttons.

The background paper had this old family feel to it. 

I hope you enjoyed this weekends button cards!

Button Card


I love to use buttons as accents. Martha Stewart has a fabulous button punch that punches out the shape and embosses the rim.  Now I can have just the right color button all the time.


I used a simple matted strip of paper with two brads.

These paper buttons look real, don't they?  And the bakers twine is the perfect accent.

These buttons are attached using mounting tape.


Thanks for stopping by!
