Kudos to you Lynn! You always out do yourself! Thanks for the Challenge!!

[Rox71]

Thanks Lynn! Great challenge and technique, I made some to go with my Sparkle Teddy Bear.

[hobbydujour]

What a super neat idea!! Your instruction were so easy to follow too. I had to go out and get the special glue, but it was worth it. I'll be making more buttons. Thanks, Lynn.

Here's my card...and button.

Great technique! I used a Sizzlit to create my button.

I have a stupid question that I am almost embarrassed to ask here ... What is PVA glue, is there an easy brand name to find, and where would I buy it? :rolleyes:

I wouldn't ask, but Lynn made a point of indicating that we should use it so the paper wouldn't wrinke.

This is a fantastic technique and looks easy enough to do for a newbie like me!! :mrgreen:

Thank you for your help!!

[Nitsy73]

I LOOOOOVED this technique...thanks for sharing it with us! Here's my card:

Hi, I used my SU two way glue pen and it worked fine!

[angelladcrockett]

Lynn, this challenge was a total hit!!! I will be making more buttons after this....soooo fun!!! HERE is my card.

[itwrx4me]

What a neat technique! I'm definitely going to try this...and use up my cardstock scraps!!!

[texan947]

A great technique for scraps...I made several buttons before using the technique a little differently, but it worked perfectly for the look I was going for...

I never get as far as buying the matching Basic Grey accessories, so it was great to customise my buttons for this card.

[Quiltnstamper]

Fantastic. I am going to try this right now. Thanks so much for this technique.

[angelladcrockett]

I am TOTALLY in love with these buttons!!!! HERE is my second attempt!!! Thanks again, Lynn!!!!

[n5stamper]

Here is my SIMPLE WISHES GIFT PURSE.

[lcoughlin]

This is so cool!! I recently decided that I need to use buttons more on my projects and have been looking for inexpensive buttons. This is a wonderful work-around and will allow me to match any project I am working on. Thanks SOOOO much for this wonderful tutorial.

[ravengirl]

Better late than never! Here is my card.

[LilLuvsStampin]

This technique was so much fun, Lynn! Thanks! Here's mine:

[n5stamper]

Here is my BEST WITCHES.

[jenndspencer]

so neat! I read this and was bummed cuz it's such a neat technique, but I don't have many punches, and all of them are bigger, so I can't do this right?! Uhhh, hmm, how about the cricut? Oh, yeah that would work, lol! So, sometimes I'm a little slow...

[Gingerrose]

I'm usually not a lover of buttons on cards, but might have to change my mind after this. Here's my card: TLC 239 Layer Buttons by Gingerrose at Splitcoaststampers

[angelladcrockett]

I am totally in love with this technique!!! Here is another I made using Spellbinder Nested Butterflies. Thanks, Lynn!!

[tamihowse]

This technique is so much fun and is truly addicting. I have made 4 pieces from some punches (can't post pics yet) and LOVE it. I used my xyron to adhere my pieces, which works find unless you use crystal effects, which tends to curl the ends. For that reason, I put some crystal effects in between layers as well, and then they don't curl.

You did a great job translating it. I could not have done it better. And I am German!!!
I used to use the google translator alot. It works really good.

I've gotta do this tutorial. No need to hunt for matching buttons anymore. Yay!!!

[jogreeno]

This is such a neat idea. I have never used buttons because I couldnever find the right oneto go with my cards. Thank you for sharing this technique with us. I am very grateful. I look forward to more postings.
