Day 7 – Holiday Card Series – Button Snowman
Hi all!
Today’s card it most likely the most simple card I’ve ever made. LOL! I remember seeing something similar in a Martha Stewart magazine years ago and thinking that the button snowman was super cute! I’ve always wanted to try it. And here we go!
NOTE: I’ve received a LOT of questions about the music included in the videos. It is a 10-second clip of royalty-free music I purchased online. It’s not a real song from an album. :)

Button Snowman – Stampin’ Up! cardstock in Kraft; Papertrey Ink buttons; Stampin’ Up! Bashful Blue gingham ribbon; Uni-ball Signo Broad gel pen; We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper ribbon.
Too cute! So fab!

November 10th, 2009 at 4:19 pmSuch a great idea! I would have never thought buttons would make a cute snowman =)
November 10th, 2009 at 4:21 pmThat card is adorable! So sweet and simple yet makes an impact. And speaking of impact, it looked like you poked your finger with the paper piercer. I hope your finger is ok. :)
November 10th, 2009 at 6:03 pmThanks so much for all the work with these videos. I’ve just started weekly videos myself and I appreciate what goes in to them.
Wow, so simple but SO cute! :) love it.
November 10th, 2009 at 6:10 pmWhen I got my first set of cardstocks, buttons, and dimensionals I made this too! :)
November 10th, 2009 at 7:26 pmWhat a cute idea, so sweet thanks.
November 10th, 2009 at 8:09 pmNow why did I not think of this idea (hitting forehead with the palm of my hand)? Such a easy, cute, fun, charming card.
November 10th, 2009 at 9:04 pmI so wish you would hook up with PaperTrey Inc. either as a designer, or on the idea card team.
Sigh, that would make a great Christmas gift for those of us who are cardmakers.
I love simple cards like this.
November 10th, 2009 at 9:21 pmOh the poster above me took the words out of my mouth! LOL I saw this and was like, “why didn’t I think of that???” You rock!!! Love this and I am SO ENJOYING these holiday cards. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
