Simple notecard with buttons

I stole some cute buttons from my mom's stash and repurposed them here. If you want to make this easy notecard, download the PDF template and print it out. (Each sheet makes two cards.) Cut the sheet in half and fold the two cards. Attach some colorful buttons with hot glue and round the card's corners if you want. This could make a quick and easy Valentine, especially if you use red and pink buttons.

So adorable! I feel I must now go hunting for colorful buttons and spend an evening creating.

I just discovered your blog and spent a good hour or so going back through the entries. Those Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes - which I made last night in a baking frenzy - are delicious!

Oh! Have you heard of glue dots (http://www.croppinparadise.com/adhesives-glue-dots-c-21_65.html)? They work wonderfully for attaching buttons and then you don't have to mess with hot glue.

well isn't that just darling?

i just have a small question for you... how do you round the corners? do you need ne of those fancy scrapbooking tools?

Jessica Jones said...

I have a punch, but a scissors works just as well. Just go a little slower.

I just had 24 Grade 1/2s make your gorgeous card for Mother's Day. I had them paint the stems/leaves and then on the inside they finished the sentence: I love my Mum because ...

Thanks for the inspiration!

LOVE these. Made 2 in a snap. Would love a template suitable for Christmas - perhaps a tree outline with tiny red buttons for decorations? Hint hint.

Love this card! Thanks for the idea...

Laura said...

Lovely idea, I tried it this year. I couldn't print the template, though (troubles with the printer) so I drew the stalks of the flowers with markers and hole-punched the leaves from self-adhesive paper. They turned out great. Here they are: http://laurafrunza.com/2012/02/27/activitati-creative-de-primavara-pentru-copii-mai-mici/
