Christmas Buttons!!

This weeks challenge at Less is More is to fnd your inner glitz and glamour.... needless to say I had to dig quite deep to find mine!! It would have been easy for me to just add some gemstones but I took a step further and found some long forgotten glitter card  for a rather different use for a Stampin Up punch....


I have literally just got hold of my Stampin Up Mitten punch and straight away wanted to use the mitten topper as custard for a Christmas Pudding..... even better when I found a round button die was the perfect size to use as a pudding :0)

These are just the kind of novelty buttons I love..... not particularily useable but cute :0)
I finished off with a bit of sewing on the button card and card base and then that beautiful ribbon style sentiment from Stampin Up...... which is new as well, couldn't resist them *wink*

I would have loved these buttons on a cardigan in my younger days but now I think they look much better on a card........ no tasteless Christmas knitwear in this house!!! :0)

Thanks for looking

Supplies: Mitten builder Punch- Stampin Up, Button and card- Marianne Design Tag and buttons die
