Chirping Tree

The challenge at Chirper Challenge is to make a shaped card using your Cricut. Love that!!!

I cut the tree using the Stretch Your Imagination cart but didn’t use the apples that are automatically cut out with the other pieces. I instead, sewed tiny red buttons on with green embroidery thread. I chalked the background with clouds and grass and added the sentiment. Pretty easy card, huh.

Well it did take quite awhile to sew the buttons on. Next time I’ll count the number of buttons I have before poking holes in my paper. I didn’t have enough buttons and had to go to the store. You know what that means don’t you? You can’t go into a crafty store and only buy red buttons, can you. Or maybe the red buttons cost $38 because that was the total at check out.

I don’t have the details written down and I had to look through several stacks of paper to find them so no deets today, sorry!

My sis and niece came over to help me out today. Of course, I work hard too while they’re here so now my legs are very tired and sore. I’m going to rest and watch the news and then I’m going to make something. We’ll see what I come up with. Ya never know!

Blessings,
