Initially, I wanted to make a just because card, but then I got to thinking… “how easy can it be to make non-traditional Christmas card?” I cut out a 4.25″ x 5 1/4 piece of International Bazaar Designer Series Paper and then looked in my scrap drawer where I throw all the left over paper from other cards and picked those colors that matched the design.
I then took he different size buttons from the Designer Buttons from the Regals Collection and used glue dots to hold them down. I didn’t want to run string through them, so I simply layered the button with our basic rhinestones.
Don’t even think I came up with the design layout all on my own. I used Merry Mondays design challenge #43 to create this very lovely card.
