Another card today using Button Boutique and some unique buttons. Unique, because they didn't come from Papertrey Ink, that is. I have enjoyed making a few button cards for friends lately, so I wanted to try to make another one using a couple of cupcake and cherry buttons I found at JoAnns. I also have a new Cuttlebug 5 x 7 folder I wanted to try with...you guessed it, cupcakes on it! I used Plum Pudding cardstock embossed with the cupcake folder and a small layer of Hibiscus Burst embossed with a polka dot folder. A sentiment from Cupcake Collection is embossed in white on the pink mat. The button card itself is made from white cardstock with Hawaiian Shores ink. I just love that I can customize every button card I make depending on the size of the buttons. These buttons are fairly large, so I didn't use a pinked cardstock square on this card. I sewed the buttons directly onto the card and since it needed a bit more color, I added a little strip of Aqua Mist cardstock embossed with the linen impression plate. I cut it to a point and added a few rhinestones for some bling. I hope my friend actually uses these buttons someday on a card. I would get such a kick out it.

What a fun and beautiful card. I love how you tied the cupcake theme together with so many different cupcake elements, and your color choice is just so yummy.
