Happy Sunday! What a wonderful week we have had here in the U.S. with the Papal Visit! Just finished watching the Mass from Philadelphia. What a wonderful Pope we have! Such a beautiful, loving, caring yet simple man. We should all take lessons. Love that he can throw some humor in there as well! :)
Right before Mass started, I finished another shabby card made with some sweet collages from the
iralamija shop on Etsy. This time I made a sweet shaker card out of a vintage button card.
Here's how to make your own.
Step 1. Cut out 2 of the same button cards from the
Vintage Buttons No. 2 Collage Sheet. Then using a craft knife, cut out the center panel of 1 of the cards, leaving a "frame".
Step 2: Add foam squares or tape along the center square of the 1st card. Trim squares to fit around, making sure they don't overlap the edges.
Step 3: Adhere a piece of acrylic to the back of the cut out frame. I used a thin line of hot glue to adhere it.
Step 4: Add buttons, sequins, pearls, glitter or whatever you like, to the inside of the button card.
Step 5: Add the "frame" over the top of the button card, making sure you line it up correctly. Once it hits the tape, it will be hard to remove it without bending or breaking your frame piece.
Next just add to your card front! The background paper is from the
Pastel Rose Collage and the beautiful butterfly is from the
Pretty Finds Collage.
The sweet sentiment is from the
Expressions No. 2 Collage.
Don't forget to stop by the
iralamija shop for some super sweet shabby chic and vintage images and papers!
Hope you have a wonderful week!
