Happy Anniversary Easel Drawer Card

As Promised,here's another Project that I made for my DH. It's been there on my mind since a few weeks now & finally I took the plunge. And I'm so happy I did. It's pretty simple to make, although it requires a lot of patience!! I thoroughly enjoyed myself. This was my first take on the EASEL CARD and also on the 4 Drawers set. I'm still confused as to what should I be putting in these cute lil drawers.umm some messages/notes??? Some of his fav. Candy??? (He doesn't like any). All your suggestions & advice is more than Welcome. I am entering this project for a Challenge on
1. ICR. Here's the Link.

Okay now a little bit about the card.

The Boy/Girl is a cut using my Cricut Expression & the "A Child's First Year" Cartridge. The grass has been hand cut & the Fence is from the ''Paper Doll Dress Up" Cartridge. It's one of my fav. cartridges. You have so many options on it.The Tags inside are from the "Storybook" Cartridge. I have used Prima Flowers.The Brads are from Making Memories. The Punch is a Corner Punch by Carla's Craft which I have used for the border. The Bling and Ribbon are local finds. Have used my Brand New Tim Holts Distressing Ink ( Brushed Corduroy)for distressing the edges. The Paper is from Fabriano-Elle Erre-Marrone. The edges have been trimmed using my Faber Castelle Scalloped edge Scissor. The sentiment inside is by DCWV's Vellum Quotes on Love & Marriage. The floral Pattern Paper is from K& CO. and the Dotted Paper is from another  Awesome Collection I dont remember. (Sorry about that). The Stamp is from Studio G.

A little bit of doodling is done with my Uni Ball Signo Black Pen.

Thank You For Looking,

Homemade Buttons - Tutorial

Hi Friends. I recieved quite a few requests for the buttons tutorial.

Here's how you can make these yummilicious buttons. All you need to do is punch out 4-5 pcs of any shape that u need the buttons to be on regular cardstock and 1pc. of the same shape on pattern paper that u would like yr button design. Glue them all together neatly one on top of the

other,keeping the pattern paper punch out on the top ofcourse.Make sure to line up the edges as close as possible. Smooth the edges using a nile file/sanding block if u have one. After the glueing is done I punched out holes for the buttons.(2 or 4 depending on the design) After that I applied some glue on the pp paper (top most surface) and treated it with UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel & heated it with my Heat Gun. I repeated the same process twice to give it that thickness. U can even doodle around your buttons before the embossing to give it extra detailing, like I have done. And that completes your YUMMY Buttons!!!!!! U can have various designs, shapes & sizes... Hope this tutorial helps.
