Gold Bitty Buttons

My apologies for making you wait to see how I did the gold Bitty Buttons....work takes up too much of my time, grrrrr!

These are really easy to make, so grab a pair of tweezers (I like the reverse-action ones for this purpose), a VersaMark ink pad, some Stampin' Emboss Powder and a Heat Tool, and let's get going!

Poke the tweezer points through the holes of the button.

Tap the button on the VersaMark pad, inking it thoroughly.

Dip the button in the EP of your choice (I used SU Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder).

Heat it with the Heat Tool JUST until the powder melts.

Let it cool for about 20 seconds or so, then pop it off the tweezers. Voila!  Teeny, tiny, gold Bitty Buttons!

Teaser

I've been very busy in my "happy place" this week, making all sorts of delightful (well, to me, anyway) things.  Here's a little teaser that I made for my son-in-law's birthday, using a few things from the new Summer Mini catalog that starts May 1st.  Notice anything new???

Check out the new Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder!  And see the itty bitty heart stamped under the teeny tiny button?  That's from the new 9 piece stamp set called Itty Bitty Bits, which coordinates with the new Itty Bitty Shapes (3 pc.) Punch Pack and clear Bitty Buttons!  They are SO cute and SO tiny, and they will be what I am featuring on the Stampin' Addicts Summer Mini Blog Tour a week from today.  Y'all gotta come back and see the fabulousness!!!

Here's an idea of how big they really are (the circle punch is 3/8" diameter).  Each square on the SU Cutting Mat is 1/2".  Wouldn't these just be adorable on a baby card?  Oops! Shhhhhhh!  I'm givin' secrets away!!!

Oh, sorry for my mind wandering.  Here's the "inside" of the card for my SIL.  He and my daughter love to eat at Souplantation, so the gift card will be put to very good use!  Under the gift card I stamped the sentiment.
