Cute as a Button

A simple flat card to attach to a baby gift, accented in purple hues.

Here's a closer look at the embellishment:

The font I chose is "childish." I bought a stem of these purple and white daisy silk flowers then decapitated them (!). The "button" in the center is a brad from a set I found at Target. Very simple; I like it quite a lot.

Thank You Note

I made a set of 8 of these cards to accompany a gift for a little girl back in June (before I started this blog). I was able to photograph one for you today because I came across the one she sent back to me in a stack of paperwork while I was organizing my desk.

The canvas is heavy white cardstock; the sentiment is printed in a bright pink "curvey" font to coordinate with the other design pieces (the inside is blank). I used one-inch squares cut from a bright pink sheet of paper that was accented with silver swirls (not visible in this picture). I punched holes around each square and used a silver pen to create "stitches" around each one. To finish the card, I added a pink and lime green transparent ribbon, tied in the front.
