It was true love when I first laid eyes on "Button Buddies" rubber stamp set–new to the Stampin' Up! 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog.
This set also landed on My Favorite Stamps List. The bottom line? With this set, you are just a button away from ?ber cute!
For my contribution to the Pals July Blog Hop, I introduce you to my "Three Little Pigs" (Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, Rich Razzleberry). I combined the little pig from Button Buddies with the sentiments from Pennant Parade (also new). Hop with the Stampin' Pretty Pals and I as we share projects using new goodies from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog! Be sure to follow the list of hoppers at the end of this post and get some creative ideas for using new Stampin' Up! rubber stamps and accessories.
I created a simple pizza box to hold the 3 x 3 note cards and Mini Square Envelopes (107309). Click to watch my Pizza Box Video Tutorial and receive the instructions for cutting and scoring. I love little sets like this to thank a host, reward a member of my Stampin' Pretty Pals or cheer up a friend.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP: For the scallop edge on the mini envie, I found it easiest to crop off the curved part of the flap so I would have a straight edge to adhere the border to.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP: The flower stamp from Button Buddies coordinates perfectly with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch (119854) and 1/2" Circle Punch (119869). This made popping out the flowers a snap!
Here's the recipe for "This Little Piggy!" (LOL). It starts with a 3 x 3 Whisper White card base

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW HOSTESS BENEFITS PROGRAM? Everyone's raving about it! No more levels! Available for on-line orders, too! Learn more!
Here's what Tracie L. had to say:
The new hostess program is GREAT! I belonged to a Stamp Club for several years but never got above a level two, so it was always disappointing that I couldn't get the level three items. I want the large birthday set and I know that would probably have been a level three given its price so I am SUPER excited!

Love this Mary! the box is so fabulous and I adore the way you embellished the flower centers!
Thanks for your sweet feedback! For the scallop edge on the mini envie, I found it easiest to crop off the curved part of the flap so I would have a straight edge to apply the border to. Hugs, M
Your Little Piggy and his Pig Pals are adorable! And this Little Piggy is headed to SLC to see her Pretty Pals! We’re all sort of adorable 🙂
