Time for another Make It Monday. This week Ashely has a video using glittered buttons. In her video she uses spray adhesive to apply the glitter. I don't have spray adhesive so I used a dab of glossy accents and smeared it with my finger. Sprinkle a little glitter and you're done. By the time you are ready to adhere the buttons they are dry.
I used one of the window dies included in the 12 Kits of Christmas January Kit that Renee sent me.
I finally decided to pick up a few magnetic knife holders to hold some of my large/ most used dies. LOVE them! I only bought three, but could use more! The little blue CD boxes hold the rest of my dies. I got the knife holders at Bed Bath and Beyond. They allowed me to use 3/$5 off coupons. I don't know about you, but I seem to get a new coupon every other day. I love that they let you use as many as you can even if they are expired!
I have also started storing my PTI inks flat as opposed to stacking them. It was too much of a struggle to find the color that I wanted to use. It works for now!
Cardstock: PTI White, Kraft, Spring Rain, Lemon Tart Bitty Box Basics Paper
Stamps: PTI Up Up and Away, Everyday Button Bits
Ink: PTI Chocolate Brown, Spring Moss, Memento Blue
Dies: PTI Double Ended Banner, Memory Box Window
Other: Fiskars Border Punch, Michael's Satin Ribbon, PTI Buttons

Great tip about the glossy accents and glitter, as I don't have any spray adhesive-- thanks for sharing!
How smart to put those balloons behind the window...wish I had thought of it! I don't have any adhesive, so that is a great tip about the glossy accents.
Your glittered buttons are amazing! Love the window pane and those hot air balloons! Yes, there are many ways to adhere glitter to buttons and glossy accents is another one! :)
Gorgeous card, Kara! Love the magnetic knife rack idea.I agree with storing inks flat for the same reason as yours :)
