Cute as a Button

Today I am going to showcase my second card from this month's Christmas Card Club.

It uses the Button Buddies stamp set.  This stamp set is unique in that every image in this set works with a button.  Now, you can use regular buttons, a button from the Button, stamp set or from the amazing Sweet Buttons embosslit (as I did on this card).

The Big Shot got a major workout for this card.  The Whisper White layer is embossed with the Snowburst embossing folder.  The snowman is framed with the Designer Frames embossing folder. Finally, I already mentioned the button was made with the Sweet Buttons embosslit.  Whew!!!  Good thing the Big Shot is mighty.....because we had so many ladies cranking out their projects last week!!!!

Here's a tip for making the snowman.  Ink him up with Basic Gray ink, wet a cotton swab and remove the ink from the nose, ink the nose with a Pumpkin Pie marker, huff on the stamp and stamp onto some Whisper White cardstock.   Make sure to punch him out with the Wide Oval Punch because it coordinates perfectly with the Designer Frame embossing folder.  Love that!!!!

I'll leave you with the card recipe in case you want to make this cute little snow guy for yourself.  The Snowburst embossing folder isn't available until September 1st (just a day away).
