TLC325 ~ Paper Buttons ~ (05/16/11)

[Toy]

Hi Stampers!

Did you all see the Dirty Dozen Gallery today?! A lot of rockin� samples, that�s for sure. Every month the 15th seems to come quicker and quicker. It�s always a thrill to see what the girls have done.

~ Paper Buttons ~

Just a few days ago, Lynn Pratt (lpratt) posted a fabulous tutorial here in the resources section on making paper buttons. Buttons are really popular right now! Making them yourself you can have them in any color and shape! I�ve made round ones, square ones, heart shaped and star shaped. I like the idea of adding a clear glaze such as Crystal Effects to them! Take a look at her TUTORIAL and let your imagination fly!

Here is my sample:

You can find the entire TLC325 gallery HERE.

Happy creating!

I remember when we did this before that I was so impatient waiting for my buttons to dry. Versamark and UTEE work great for those who are impatient like me.

[Shadow's Mom]

Thanks, Holly and thanks Lynn for your great tutorial.

Here's my Paper Button Butterfly.

I had fun making this paper button today. Thanks Holly for reminding me how fun this technique is.

[cricket3571]

I have a question, does it have to be a card that we make and use the button? I have really gotten into making ATC's that's why I'm asking. If it needs to be a card, that's totally ok, I just wanted to ask before I started. Thanks!

Make whatever you like . We have no rules!! I think a button on an ATC would be totally adorable!

[stinkincute]

Love this technique - thanks for bringing it to us this week Holly!
