I GOT my stamp AND crafty-craft ON, today in Scrapland, fellas! I just have to say!
Some days, it's like a symphony of CRAFT in my little chamber of creative WONDER!
I PLAYED {*cue the ANGELS, singing!*} with DAWN'S NEW STUFF!!!!!
AND made buttons! Let me show you:
See that! See the CIRCLE from All Occasion Tags, an older release from my
darling, designer of ALL stamps fabulous and WONDERFUL, Dawn W, herself,
and BEHOLD - the beautiful bumble bee! How we worship the bumble bee these
days! I thought this was a tre elegant combo for a beautious button!
I used a, for REAL button, to help me line up authentic button holes
and marked them with a paper piercer to guide my drill....
Confession: I probably have EVERY type of hole puncher ever made.
Most of them, I would NOT let you pry from my hot little hands, even if
they were cold... If ya know what I mean. There's the RIGHT job and
the RIGHT tool, and I always strive to be prepared! I was SO glad I own
a Chinese Drill Punch to make my holes EXACTLY where I wanted them!
Ohhhhhhhhh! I love it! I LOVE this technique! Oh, the possibilities!!!!!
All THAT - and Dawn's STAMPS! Ack! Don't forget to check out all of the details
for the THREE new stamp sets, 2 of the most USEFUL and wonderfully priced
dies to coordinate SPECIFICALLY with Dawn's stamps .... and, of course, the
W9 GIRLS! Love my fellow/fella{?} designy babes from Wplus9! Check 'em OUT!

Fabulous button Elise! LOVE it. And it looks super fabulous on your card!!! Nice job.
Dear Elise,
Your card is perfect, your button is PERFECT, you are a crafty goddess!
the end.
(otherwise translated as that bee button perfectly stamped, punched and aged to perfection is the thing that puts the "woo" in my wooooo-hooooo! love it!)
another gorgeous card, elise! off to take a look at dana's tutorial...
Aw! What a beautiful, little bird! Oh! And I LOVE your gorgeous, papercrafty creation! That homemade, bumble bee button just couldn't be more perfect! And again, your masking skills are top notch, girl!
That baby bird just makes me all doe-eyed and happy! How sweet is it?!?!
Holy buttons, Batman! This has to be the button of all buttons!!! That bee is incredible!!! And of course, how perfect is stamping on the button?! Wish I'd thought of that! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the inspiration!!!
Shut the front door and bling it on girl!! This is gorgeous, and so is that little tweeter you got such great photos of!!
This is gorgeous Elise! I just love the button and the pearl flourishes! I need to find out how you place them so nicely on your card...I have such a hard time with them but you make it look effortless! Beautiful card!
