**2nd post for today - scroll down for my Little Claire DT cards**
I like making male cards (I know, strange aren't I?!) so I was quite pleased to see that the new challenge at Less is More is masculine cards. A good opportunity to play with my Sizzix primitive star die and raid my button stash :o) Apart from the Kraft card base, this card is made entirely from scraps, which is another bonus... although I'd have to make about 200 of these if I wanted to make a small dent in my scrap mountain! The sentiment is computer generated and punched out with my Stampin' Up word window punch.
I always feel a bit guilty when I make a card with no stamping at all, but you'll be pleased to hear I still managed to get in a mess... while I was rummaging for the 'right' buttons I managed to unhook the button box lid from its hinge... unfortunately I was holding the lid at the time so the actual box bounced off my desk and showered buttons all over the craft room! I've been picking them up from every bit of floor and out of every drawer for ages and I know I'll still be finding them for weeks.
I'm also entering my card for the 'to die for' challenge at Charisma Cardz.

Ooooh I like a lot Lisa...fab choice of papers too :) Donna x
This is a great card, I do like buttons on cards.
I had a similar incident with some gems recently, fortunately my 10 year old daughter was happy to gather them up for me.

Great card Lisa, think I found one of your buttons here!

Super card Lisa, love the colour combination. x
Absolutely Superb.
You'll have to get your boys to help you pick up the buttons, i know my 4 year old always thinks it's a great game, when i drop my buttons !!!, Luv Sam x
what a striking card good luck finding the buttons
Lisa, what a great guy card! I love the stars...and the colors!
I had to laugh about the spilled buttons...only because I've done the same thing myself! When I remodeled my craft room, I sorted all my buttons and put each color in it's own glass jar...now they're better organized, and it's easy to find the color I want...with an extra plus of looking decorative on the shelf!
Great card, love the simplicity of it and the paper looks great with the kraft. Great use of buttons too - good luck with finding the rest of them

That is just the sort of thing that happens to me too Lisa. My daughter says I'm the clumsiest person she knows.lol.
Fab card. I love the Kraft paper, stars and button, an excellent male card. Sue.x
Super card, bright and fun. I have one of those scrap piles too and I sympathise with your button explosion. I've opened embellishment boxes before realising I had it upside down! x
hi there, such a gorgeous card, great layout.
A fab card and using scraps as well. I love colours on Kraft card it just makes them pop so much more x
A fab modern CAS card. Love the stars, they are so versatile for a bloke card eh? The button incident sounds like something I would do.
Love the layout, may have to try it out soon.
