PUSH THE BUTTONS WITH THE CUTTLEBUG SPOT WEEKLY CHALLENGE

yes, i am super late with my project for TheCuttlebug Spot. so late i told nilda she did not have to add it if she did not want to. 
the weekly challenge is to use buttons on your project.
i made a big tag.

Enjoy
5.5" tall
(i need to trim that upper left corner a bit--it is bugging me).
anyway, this tag started being a card, of course, lol. but by the time i finished it did not look like a card but a tag. so, i cut the other half and made it into what i guess it was supposed to be...a tag.
the base is from "just because cards", image#34 
using shift and adjusting the width with the gypsy to a 3.25.

i cut that shape three different sizes as you can see to add the layers to the tag.. the embossing was done with a sizzix folder called "snowballs" using my cuttlebug. i also used the "divine swirls" cuttlebug folder for the clouds from "paper dolls for everyday", image#15 using the accesories3 creative feature. the butterfly it is from the same cart-- image#3 using shift and accesories3.

here is the so very cute snail and the HUGE BUTTON from my vintage buttons box. the snail is from "creative a critter", image#44 flipped to the right. 
as you can see i finally got me some more hemp. i love using that stuff. now i have to get some ms twine.
i tried using the zip dry glue to adhere the button but it did not work at all so i used my trusty glue gun.

the stamp is from a my pink stampers set called "everyday life" you can see more of the sentiments and of her stamps if you click HERE.

well, i hope you join us at the cuttlebug spot weekly challenge and get those nice buttons out and play along. or just stop to see what my very creative team mates worked their butt-ons up to, hehe.

love you all!

SNAIL MAIL CARD

It's me again!
I wanted to share this card I made for an online friend.
I made this card using the Sentimental Cricut cartridge and one of the Joy's Life Lots of Pun stamp set. When I couldn't be her designer she still sent me a set of her new stamps and just now I got to use them.  I wanted to share the card I made and the stamp I used from her set. It was very thoughtful of her and I appreciate her kindness.

Snail Mail
5 inches
You can find the card base/shape on page #35 on the card feature. 
The polka dot paper was cut at 4-1/2 inches using the same card feature.

The snail was cut at 2 inches and its shadow came out to be at 2.06 inches.
You can find the snail on page #47. I used foam adhesive to pop up the snail layer.
.
The umbrella is from Everyday Paper Dolls and you can find it on page #41 (accesories2). As you can see I dry embossed the umbrella using the Cuttlebug and a Cuttlebug folder called Swiss Dots. I also added some doodling.

The clouds are also from Everyday Paper Dolls from page #42 and I cut them at 1.79 and 1.99 inches. I stickled them with the Frosted Lace Stickles I received from Helen.

The butterfly is also from the Sentimentals cart and you find it on page 46. I used the shadow image and I made the small circles with my Crop-a-Dile. I also doodled on it this time with white ink.

I added some rub-on flowers to the grass I punched out with a Martha Stewart paper punch. Before I adhered the grass to the card I used the sentiment

A beautiful card for a beautiful friend,

Thank You Joy!
