Fun Christmas Cards with Monique!

Hello My Creative Scrapbook fans! It's Monique here today and I'm so happy I get to share my button Christmas cards with you! I received the December Creative Kit containing among others the "Gnome for Christmas" collection from Photo Play Paper, puffy phrase stickers from Pinkfresh Studio and a package with buttons from Pebbles. As I want to send my family and friends a "real" and handmade Christmas card this year, I decided to use the kit also to create some fun Christmas cards. 

These are the cards I created:

Here're the puffy phrase stickers, the buttons and the word stickers I used for my cards:

For the base of my 4" x 6" cards I chose a piece of kraft cardstock, a piece of patterned paper and a piece of red cardstock. 

Using red and yellow twine I tied little bows in the top buttons and knots in the rest of the buttons:

I adhered the red cardstock on top of the patterned paper and machine stitched all the sides of the red cardstock: 

With large glue dots I adhered the buttons in a "tree design" onto the red cardstock:

Below the button tree I placed on of the word stickers from the Photo Play Paper sticker sheet:

From the sheet with the Pinkfresh Studio "Oh What Fun" puffy phrases I chose a word that fitted the size of the card and adhered this below the word sticker and the button tree:

Using double sided sticky tape I adhered the card onto the kraft cardstock base:

And I was done!! Really loving the result! 

Here are a few close-ups of my cards:
