JUGS #123: Use Buttons Creatively as Part of an Image

| Published 2.11.2012



Ready for a button-tastic Just Us Girls challenge?! Our lovely Elise is challenging us to use buttons creatively as the focal points of images - fun right?! 

And the best part? She's got a bag of button goodies from Buttons Galore and More to give away to one lucky participant this week!!!


I was reaching for my trusted flower stamps for this particular challenge when my eyes came across my Friendship jar stamps. What can be better than a jar full of colorful buttons?!

I stamped a few buttons on the background to fill in some white space then went to town arranging buttons. I stamped the jar on white card stock and cut the center out using a craft knife. Voila! I didn't think it needed much else so I just finished the jar off with a lid and added a simple sentiment. 

Check out what the rest of the talented JUGS DT has whipped up!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

DeNami Product Spotlight: Tweety Bird Border

What adorable stamp do we have in the latest DeNami Product Spotlight?!? It's too cute for words...


See what I mean? Cute, cute, cute! In addition to being absolutely darling, the stamp in the product spotlight is 10% off for one week!!! Sweet and SA-WEET!!!

When I looked at this cute little bevy of birds, all I could think about was the cute little guys that flutter about in the winter, visiting our bird feeders and eating stray seeds that fall to the ground beneath the feeders. I could watch those busy little bodies all day.


I started with a blue card base. The clouds are stamped with white pigment ink using a foam cut out of a DeNami cloud stamp. Then I stamped the tree on the right of the card. After die cutting the snow banks,  I stamped the birds on the snow then colored and cut out a few separate birds - I went with yellow mostly because of the "tweety bird" thing :) Then I added a few "seeds" on the ground to complete my winter scene.

Make sure to see what the rest of the amazing DeNami DT have in store!

DeNami Sketch Challenge

Ready for another DeNami Challenge?! 


Paulina has this fabulous sketch to get your creative juices flowing! Isn't it beautiful?


I used the following DeNami stamps on this card;

I stamped the yummy little chocolates repeatedly on white card stock for the background. I masked a portion of the card stock for my sentiment. I then just crimped a piece of kraft card stock for the right panel (the crimper is a new toy and I have to say, "where have you been all my life?" - love!!!) There was a time in my life (remember….the 80's) when "crimper" meant an entirely different thing :)

Can't wait to see how you interpret the sketch! Make sure to see what the rest of the amazing DeNami DT have in store!
