Hi ! Welcome Back :)
I had fun with these cards and I think they are just "spotingly" adorable! There is no stamping or ink - but I did manage to get out my cuttlebug :)
A few weeks ago I ordered in some buttons and that is where the idea started. I love using paper straws, there are so many different colours and prints my collection is starting to grow! As you can see in the photos there were a few in my collection that matched the buttons and I also 'made my own' for the black and white. I sorted through my paper stash and found some spotty paper to match - here is how they came together......

I tied off the buttons with some ribbon - I just can't leave the holes empty - it always looks unfinished to me. I could also have used a stripy twine which I thought of after finishing the ribbon.
Here is where the cuttlebug comes into play - I cut the straws to size and then ran them through the plates to flatten them - and then I die cut some little hearts.

That's it for the fancy stuff - time to put it all together!
Can you see what I did with the hearts - matching leaves! I told you they were adorable :)
