My Creative Scrapbook Design Team member Carla Marchee is here today to share some fun techniques that she used on her layout featuring our January Limited Edition Kit.

Here's Carla...

I like to share how to make custom chipboard buttons like I have done with this design.

you will need the following items:

* cardstock

* Embossing Ink

* Heat Tool

* Circle punch

* Crop-a-Dile

* Melt Embossing

* Tweezers

* Alcohol Ink

STEP 1: Punch a circle out of cardstock paper.

Punch holes into the center of the circle to make it look like a button

STEP 2 : Just embossing ink ,so that powder stuck on the button.

STEP 3 : Now, apply glossy embossing emamel clear finish onto the button

STEP 4: Heat it up so it get melting.

STEP 5: This how it look like

STEP 6: few drops squeeze of Alcohol Ink on your buttons so it get blending.

Step 7: so it look like buttons in different colors and sizes

I hope you give this a try it's so cool to do.
