Christmas cards with patterned paper and buttons

 Hi everyone! So I was digging around for empty boxes and stumbled on my containers of buttons! I have a container for each color family of buttons. Remember back in the day we put buttons on all our cards? PaperTrey Ink sold bags of buttons to match their cardstock colors. Ahhhh! And I have fond memories of digging through my grandma's old button tins and picking out beauties to use on my cards.

Well, I was inspired to make these 3 Christmas cards and using buttons on them! Can we all agree to bring buttons back? Check out what I made.
Each card features some Christmas patterned paper, an embossed background, simple sentiment, die cut shape and 3 coordinating buttons. Once I got going, these went pretty fast. The longest (and funnest) part was picking the perfect buttons for each card.
And here is a third one in blues.
Do you have a favorite?
