Button Birthday Card!

Hi Everyone,

It's finally Friday & I wanted to share this beautiful card with you, created by one of my favorite Stampin' Up! demonstrators, Andrea Walford:)

Want to re-create this great and simple look? Here's Andrea's tip on using the buttons:

"The buttons I selected were from Stampin’ Up!’s Playground AND Sherbet collections. Create a faux thread look with coordinating strips of CS and then stick the buttons down to the card front with mini glue dots."

Remember, you can receive these buttons for FREE when you purchase $35 of stamps from the 'Growing Up' section of the Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog (pages 76-90)!! Shop here

Happy stamping,
