Product Parade: Buttons plus a GIVEAWAY!

Hey everyone! Today we are focusing on a fun new addition to our Pebbles line of products ... Buttons! Add dimension and detail to your craft projects by adding Pebbles buttons for a project that is truly "cute as a button!"  Buttons are featured in the New Arrival Girl and Boy collections.

Design team member Guiseppa Gubler layered buttons from our New Arrival Girl collection for this one of a kind Valentine.  Here's what Guiseppa had to say ... "I really love Valentines Day and it is just a few weeks away.  It's about this time that I start to get the itch to make some cute Valentines Day.  I pulled out my New Arrival Girl Collection because it was perfect for this holiday.  My assignment for this month was buttons.  Yep ... I knew I could handle this!  I created this card using the buttons from the New Arrival Girl Collection.  I cut some hearts out with my Silhouette and embellished them with these fabulous buttons.  I also added some bakers twine and strung some buttons on the end ... perfect!  I couldn't be more happy with the end result!  My first Valentine's Day project ... complete!"

I truly love buttons. I glue them on hairpins for both me and my 2.5 year old daughter. I make brooches to wear and to gift to others. My most recent buttony craft project was using buttons, old clip on earrings, and a necklace chain to make myself a cardigan sweater guard. I get so many compliments on it!

Been using buttons on cards for awhile, but I was just in a Valentine card swap and used an old cream colored button with a key design tied to the bow on the card. I really liked how it turned out.

Also love the idea about using buttons as part of layered embellishments.
