Hi Everyone.
Happy Tuesday – hope you are all having a wonderful day!
Tonight's card is for simplylessismoore. The challenge is to create a clean and simple card with FRUIT as the theme. Oh… this was just the greatest excuse to pull out my new Button Buddies set. I didn't hesitate on this one. Within minutes I had the layout, the image and the sentiment all in my head.
Here's what I came up with
I mean, seriously, were not this image and sentiment meant to be together? And the buttons – just perfect for this image. I think I am going to really enjoy this set! I had originally done a square in Real Red behind the focal image, but felt it needed something a little softer, that's why I went with the scalloped square instead. The round edges echo the round cherries better!
Card recipe – all ingredients Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
- Card stock: Whisper White, Real Red
- Stamps: Button Buddies. Sentiment: A Word for You
- Inks: Real Red, Lucky Limeade
- Buttons: Brights
- Tools: Paper Snips (I stamped the leaf again and cut it out and popped it with dimensionals). Mini glue dots for the buttons. Stamp-a-ma-jig for the sentiment. Nesties for the squares
So, what do you think? I love it. If you haven't checked out the Button Buddies set, you really should. You can see the whole set below. The set number is 122737
Also, if you haven't seen it… there is a Stampin' Up! special for August. Buy 3 lots of the Designer Series Paper from the 2011/2012 SU catalog and get a 4th one free. That's a 25% discount effectively. Of course, it was a deal that I couldn't resist! You can check out the details here.
Don't forget to pop along to simplylessismoore and check out the amazing array of design team cards and submission cards. You are bound to find inspiration.
Warm hugs and prayers tonight for those who need a little lift.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and, as always, thank you so much for popping by!
Hugs

Great card!
Nice and simple in deed. Something just isn’t drawing me to this stamp set. I have looked at it a few times, but just move on and not ordering it. Is there something wrong with me? : ) Thanks for sharing with us.
Have a great day lady.
Hope your leg is feeling much better now.
And this stamp and card right here are the reason I’m DYING to get this set. Okay, this and the pig. Who doesn’t love a good pig stamp? :oP
I LOVE the color, the image, the layout, the scoring around the image, everything!! Fabulous card!
Lou, I sincerely hope your travels are smooth and seamless today–you’ve earned it. Hugs to you and Jaydee both!
Yes!! I totally love this. Wonderful design. Such a bright and beautiful and HAPPY card.
What an inspiring card! Just goes to prove that less is more! I am still working on my cards for the troops. I had to clean my stampin area last night! Now I can work!
Love your selfless sacrifice of buttons on this super card project
