This is day 2 in the 3-day Thank You for YOU giveaway series.
Allow me to introduce you to Sarah, creative genius behind Ordinary Artists.
Sarah is cool beans. In addition to the crafts you’ll see here and on her Etsy site, Sarah’s a slam poetry artist. Dude, I am here to tell you I will never be that cool so I’m especially grateful to know people who are.
When I asked Sarah to tell us a little bit more about the how and the why of Ordinary Artists, she wrote, “When I was a little girl, my dad taught me how to make art. Now we make art together! We call ourselves ‘Ordinary Artists’ because we create beautiful art for every life. We love to use ordinary materials (buttons, fabric, ribbon, driftwood, doorknobs) to make little pieces of art that people can enjoy in their everyday lives. Personally, I love creating. I don’t think I could make it through life without the joy of making beautiful things. We started Ordinary Artists a year ago, and hope to continue making art and having fun for a long time.”
Today, we’re giving away not just one but both of these sets of Sarah’s Cute Little Button Cards.
Set of 5 Reindeer Cards
Set of 5 Snowflake Cards
Ten cards to get you started on winter gift-giving!
Check out Ordinary Artists’ stocking stuffers section, too. And *ahem, Santa* if I find these flower bobby pins in dark blue and speckled earthy grey in my stocking on Christmas morning, I will be a very happy girl.

So creative!
Darling cards and an inspiring blog. Thank you for being real and giving the rest of us permission to admit that our homes are less than perfect, too.
You’re welcome, Dawn. And thank you for this kind comment.
Comment comment! I never know what to say on these giveaways 😉 but the cards are adorable!
I wish I had this talent! I’ll settle for the art! 🙂
Those cards are too cute!
I love Sarah’s creations–but I have enjoyed them for several year”s–still have some on my fridge!-Grandma Klatt
You have a wonderful granddaughter, Ann.
Ooo… I’d like to win these! And I love small business artists. They’re the best. 🙂
What a neat way to make cards and her other items are great too. I have an etsy shop too so I always love connecting w someone new to see what inspires them. Thank you for sharing your journey through mom-hood. I love hearing what you and your family are up to.
Thank you, Natalie! Link your Etsy shop here so we can see what you do.
I love the cards and hope to win!

Way cool cards and art! Enjoy your blog about family, makes me feel more normal hahaha
Thanks, Jenn! We may be weirdos, but we’re weirdos in GREAT company. 😉

Thanks, Heidi.
So much fun!
YOU WON, Terri! I’ll be in touch today for an address so I can send them to you. CONGRATS!

Stumbled upon your blog and love it! These cards are adorable. So creative. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks, Kathi!
love homemade cards! the concept of “ordinary artists” is awesome.
Very unique ! Great Christmas idea 🙂
I think simple arts/crafts like this reflect true talent. It’s harder to make something beautiful and minimalist without talent (for those of us who are just ordinary and not artists). 🙂
Ooooh, cute!
I LOVE these cards! And you are right, Ordinary Artists is really super cool =)
😀
So cute! I kinda have a thing for buttons so I would be super happy if I won these adorable cards! Fingers crossed, fingers crossed…
Very cute!
