Card Making Embossing & Die Cutting Cute Button

For today's blog, I use a number of smaller die-cut elements to combine into a small card for a baby or small child. We are still embossing and die-cutting, but seeing if there is any use for the smaller dinky dies, if it is not used in conjunction with bigger elements. This is a very quick and easy project.

I use my Sizzix machine to cut a number of buttons with the X-Cut Mini Dies.

I fold a small sheet of blue cardboard in half to form card.

I then use stickers to add the word 'Cute' to the card.

I use a rub-on alpahbet to add the words 'as a' to the card.

I then cut a bright yellow frame from carboard.

I glue the frame to the card with Tombow glue.

I want some buttons to be raised, and others not. So I use a combination of 3D squares and glue to adhere them to the card, sticking them inside the frame.

The completed card. Sadly, the bad lighting makes the stickers disappear a little.
