Three Minute Thursday Button Buddies for the class

Children at primary school often like to send cards to everyone in their class. My youngest son certainly does - so we needed a batch of quick cards! Here's what we came up with:


I suggested Confetti White card stock for this design as the bits add a windy look to the wintery scene. We stamped the cute snowman from Button Buddies and I made a mask out of a post-it note so that a background could be sponged over the top using a torn scrap of paper to make snow banks. The card was finished with my favourite Christmas sentiment and some details added with markers to the snowman.


We made a fair few of these together and then my son sat at the kitchen table writing them while I cooked dinner. Despite some alarming questions ("Mum? How do you spell explosion?") he'd completed them before dinner was served and the whole operation probably took less time than a trip to the shops to buy some cards!

Supplies needed for this card:
Stamps: Button Buddies, Contempo Christmas
Ink: Pool Party, Real Red
Card stock: Confetti White
Other: Markers, stamp-a-majig
I'd be delighted to order any of these supplies for you and can have them delivered to your address in the UK. I am committed to providing excellent customer service and am always happy to help and advise. Just send me an email or give me a call on 01280 820593. 

Yesterday I spent the day lugging furniture around the house. The upstairs rooms are now all empty in preparation for the carpet layers to work their magic... but I have lost the will to live! Who knew we had so much stuff?!

Thank you for visiting today and I shall be back tomorrow (when hopefully I'll have cheered up a bit!)

Hugs,

  9. Wonderful cards - so pretty. I'd love to know what your son wrote in the cards :))

    As for lugging furniture around - I know how you feel! It will be worth it in the end. The charity van collected over 300 books from our house today - so I'm getting there with the decluttering!!!!
