Thank You Card 1 - SU Only

Hi Everyone!

Today's post is a card that I made without my Cricut.  Now that I am a SU demonstrator, I am trying to use my stamps more in addition to my Cricuts.

I really love the card that I made.  The colors are bright and fun.  Everything is Stampin' Up on this card.

I also entered them into these challenges:
Crafting with Christina - Cricutless/Stamping Projects
My Craft Spot Challenge #1 - Tie a Bow
Ambers Crafts & Stuff -  April Flowers
The Paper Variety - 1, 2, 3 Challenge  1 Button, 2 Brads (& 2 Patterned Papers) & 3 Layers of paper for the flower...

Emma's Imagine-Nation Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Haven't posted anything for several days but I have been working on some Christmas card ideas.  I will be posting them in the next couple days.  Anyway, tonight I decided to participate in Emma's Imagine-Nation Mondays.  This week's theme is buttons.  I have always wanted to use buttons and just received my order of buttons from PTI last week, so I am pretty psyched to try it out.  Next, I have to find my sewing machine that my mom gave me several years ago (it's still in the box) so that I can start to sew on my cards.  I really like that effect on cards and I am hopeful that I can develop that sewing skill...  Anyway, here is the card (not sure if I adhered the buttons correctly but they are staying so far):

Deets:
Imagine More cart
Walk In My Garden cart - flower pot border, flowers & stem cut @ 2"
Cardstock: PTI Rustic Cream (5x7 card)
Patterned Cardstock: magine More design printed on 12x12 Bazzill cardstock
Buttons: PTI Vintage Holiday Mix
Vintage Distressed Ink
Stampin Up Noteworthy Stamps
Diamond Stickles (of course)

Thanks for looking and let me know your thoughts/suggestions! :)
