ENCOURAGING CARD

I cut the card base and flowers using the Silhouette. I cut an extra set in green to add some more leaves. Laura Kelly’s Sweet Blush Buttons dot the centers of the flowers, and these are accented with pink rhinestones. I punched some Martha Stewart butterflies from matching card stock to give a little more dimension to the butterflies on the card, and those are accented with rhinestones as well.

Buttons are always a fun and inexpensive embellishment!

Adhere Jeweler’s Blank in Pendant Tray with Adhesive Tape.
Place Pendant Tray onto Key Chain.
Place buttons 9 mm jump rings. Place charm on a 7 mm jump ring. Attach a 9 mm jump ring to the loop on the Pendant Tray. Attach each charm using a 6 mm jump ring.
