Cute as a Button with a Tutorial

 

For my card today I thought I would have a little fun with it. I had never tried the Basket Weave and thought I would give it a try. It is so easy and a great way to add a little interest to your cards with no extra tools needed besides scissors. I used the tutorial on splitcoaststampers.com HERE.

One thing I did that made it a bit easier is when I folded the weave, I used my scoreboard to score the pieces. This helped to keep the cardstock from tearing while I was folding them.

For the rest of the card:

• I stamped MICHELLE MONKEY - 871E in black ink, colored with copics and then fussy cut the image.
• Next, I cut the 2 pink layers and added to the front of my basket weave.
• I then stamped the CUTE AS A BUTTON GREETING - 753B on a coordinating pink on white card stock.
• I added some pink bakers twine and a pink button.
• I then popped MICHELLE MONKEY - 871E up on dimensionals.

I hope you give the Basket Weave a try. It is very easy and really adds a lot of fun to a card. Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my card this week.
