I am a bit of a recycling fiend. So..............the buttons were rescued from shirts my husband decided had seen better days and were heading to the big green wheelie bin. The fibres or wool type trim is a piece that came free with a magazine I bought on hols in Canada.............sorry!
The design of each is up to you.
I used the peel offs I already owned. They are something I was keen on when I started crafting but to be honest I think you can overdose on them and now I tend to not to use them although as you can see they do have their uses. ;Op
Hey, well today I am posting a previously made card
. I was clearing up months of mess in my craft room and came across this card that I made for my daughter last Christmas. She is every inch the drama Queen and we had been in London to see a show for a little treat and I tried to make her an equally dramatic card for the festive season. I used a sheet of A3 BLACK CARD and I brought out every black silver and grey peel off I owned. I had a template of a theatre mask I had bought and I had sheets of flocked paper and self adhesive velvet papers so I set to work.

thank you cards for adams 2nd birthday party
After a recent post on cow town crafts about the fan fold flowers I thought I try a few and use them on the thank you cards I was making for adams 2nd birthday.
I am a bit of a fan of stickles and there are few cards I make that have not been attacked by the stickles, or at very least the pearlidoodles.
So anyway I set out to make 24 thank you cards in one weekend, I was not entirely sure I get them all done as I like to spend a bit of time 'stickling' and can often get carried away 'big time'
well this weekend I got carried away with the fan fold flowers.
I decided to use a variety of colours and to be honest I dragged out a box of scraps I keep. I do not ever like to throw anything away so I keep strips and scraps in a box. These are pieces I have chopped off other sheets most likely 12 x 12 sheets and I am so reluctant to throw them away. Today I found a way to use all these pieces and to make some fab cards into the bargain.
Here are some of the results.
I like the monochrome ones best.
