Twine-Tied Button Holiday Card idea

Button Holiday Card

Buttons holiday cards tied with twine are the perfect embellishment. The buttons give the card some dimension, while the twine adds a natural element. I used bright red buttons from the Christmas Button Bonanza pack, green twine, and other partner products to give a festive look to this card.

Supplies for Button Holiday Card:

Buttons Galore & More

Partner Products:

“Gifts Galore” Jumbo Rollograph Wheel, Watermark ink, embossing powder (Sterling Silver), Smooch, white ink–Clearsnap
Green Twine–The Twinery
“Wrapped in Love” stamps–My Favorite Things

Other Supplies:

cardstock (red and green)

I used the “Gifts Galore” Jumbo Rollagraph Wheel, Watermark ink, and Sterling Silver embossing powder to create the line of gifts on white cardstock, then colored in some of the designs using Smooch. The white cardstock strip was matted on a slightly larger strip of green cardstock and layered over a large scalloped circle of dotted green paper.

I tied each of the red Button Bonanza buttons with green twine and glued them in place under the “Gifts Galore” design. A sentiment stamped in white pigment ink (heat dried) on green cardstock was glued under the tied buttons to add to the gift theme.
