CFC20 and Less is More 33

The theme at CAS-ual Fridays is to make a mini card (no larger than 4x4) and give the dimensions. At Less is More it is Anything Goes in an attempt to have 1,000 CAS submissions.

This card is 4x4 square. I paper pieced a Studio G cupcake, added pink glitter to the frosting, and clear sparkle to the candle flame. I stamped the sentiment across the card base multiple times to anchor the image.

There are multiple birthdays in my family in the month of October, so I'm busy making birthday cards these days. This card is for my niece, who will be turning 9 in just a couple of weeks.

Thanks for your visit today!

Supplies:
Stamps: Studio G
Ink: Stazon black, Memento Rosebud
Paper: PTI white, colored papers from scrap box
Other: Martha Stewart glitter, Marvy sparkle clear pen

Less is More 25, Take 2

I entered a ribbon card for Less is More 25, but I also wanted to make a card featuring buttons. From time to time I pick up buttons on sale at the craft store, but I don't often use them on my cards. I've had these little star buttons sitting around, and wanted to feature them on a CAS layout.

I was picturing a simple row of buttons with my sentiment underneath, when I spotted this sketch from Lily Pad Cards, via Judy's Card Corner. It seemed to be made for just what I had in mind!


I pierced my paper where I wanted the buttons to go, and then tied them on with embroidery floss. I added a bit of ribbon and a sentiment and popped the panel up on dimensionals.
