A couple days ago I shared my January swap card made with the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. You can see that post here. The swap theme was Sale-A-Bration. Coincidentally, Judy Newsome used the very same pattern from the same Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper for her swap cards, and out layouts are even very similar. You know what they say: great minds think alike! Judy, a member of my Candy Hearts team, lives in LaFayette, GA.

Today I’m sharing a card made by Judy Newsome, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Lafayette, GA. She used the Button Button embossing folder along with other products from the Follow Your Art Suite to create this adorable card.
The name of this embossing folder (Button Button) reminds me of the sound children make when they’re playing with toy car. I can see them pushing a car around going, “button button button” for the sound of the motor.
