Quick Tip:

  • Put a coordinating punched image under a Bitty Button or stamp directly on the  button with StazOn ink.
  • Distressing adds a nice vintage touch to Designer Buttons.  Simply sand a bit with sanding blocks or use the sanding tools from Distressing Essentials

    I LOVE the buttons, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the CE! I have used it for years as an adhesive for everything from buttons to Primas! It is also wonderful on cards or other projects where you want that “glossy” look! Thanks for the tips!
