PTI Christmas button bits

[mugsy1]

i just got the set....but mine is missing the tree ! i emailed them this evening, but i wonder if i am the only one with that particular stamp missing ! weird.

I just looked at my set I have and I don't think it is suppose to have a tree stamp. There is a "trunk" stamp for a tree. I think then you just place the buttons 3,2,1 in rows, forming a triangle above the trunk to make the tree. Hope that makes sense???

There is another set called Holiday Tree that has the triangle shaped stamp to make trees with, perhaps that is what you were thinking of??

The above poster is correct. If you look at the stamp set on this page:
http://www.papertreyink.com/stamps_h...uttonbits.html
The grey circles represent where you would place buttons to complete the image. The Christmas tree has a tree trunk stamp and the lines for snow. You stamp those and then use buttons to complete the image.
Hope that helps!

i just looked at the set....you are right ! i do have the stump and the "snow". duh. i guess i thought it would have the circles stamped....now i feel silly. will have to write PTI and confess to being dumb !!

Oh, I forgot about the stamp for the lines of the snow. Thanks Niki!

Love the Button Bits set from PTI (along with all their other sets too!)

i wrote to pti and said sorry.... "my oops"....i will have to make that little tree tomorrow. thanks to all for straightening me out !! sometimes i am just to darn literal

You could always use the individual polka dots from Polka Dot Basics and then place your buttons on the polka dots. ;)

i meant TOO literal. will try that little guy this morning.....

here's my tree. amazingly it took almost an hour to make ! maybe the second will go faster?

Don't feel bad, when I was looking at cards on their site I wondered why I didn't get this stamp. I laughed at myself when I figured it out - it's nice to know I wasn't the only one :-)

Love your card Pam! Thanks for posting it. Is that white paper or material behind the tree? It's beautiful. Love your snow too!

Pam, your card is absolutely adorable! I love the star button on the top! Don't worry, we all have moments like those.

the background paper is a shiny swirly cardstock i got online last year....from a paper supply company of which i have no name recollection !!

i love all the button bits stamps !!
