Check out my Bunny Slippers stamp by Paper Pretties! Isn't sleepy (or sick) Sophia adorable in her fluffy robe & bunny slippers? I was so excited to get her, I didn't have any stamps like this at all. I used Kazan's Sketch 5 on the 2 Sketches 4 You blog and had to use my brand new SU! In Colors...Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss & they went so well with Regal Rose I put that in there for an additional color. I also used the smallest flower in Ginormous Flowers on the Pink Pirouette.
Like my layered button? Well it is handmade. Of course I don't have any embellishments to match the new In Colors so I figured I would make my own! Here is a step-by-step to show you how I made it. 
I first punched holes with my double circle punch so I could go in with my 3/4" circle punch with correct placement.
Then I laid them on my VersaMark pad and dipped them into clear embossing powder. I ended up layering the powder 3-4 times to make it a little thicker. You could also use or Glassy Glaze powder or Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. 
To hold them while I dipped, I used my paper piercer, easy to use the heat gun that way too. The bottom button is a piece of 1-inch circle punch from the Kiwi patterned paper in the NEW Bella Rosa DP. I covered it with embossing powder with no hole punches. What a fun (and less bulky) way to layer buttons - they really look like epoxy stickers you buy at the store. I got the idea for this when I was shopping at Target yesterday...realizing I could make my own since I already had all the supplies! I saved $Paper Pretties Newsflash!
Don't forget to send in a card using your Paper Pretties stamps to Christie at christie@paperpretties.net, and she will choose a winner from the entries. Besides getting to call yourself a Cutie Pie, you will also get all the stamps from this release for free! You have until July 31st at 8pmCST to get your entries in! Best of luck!

Donna, this is sooo cool!
I have made faux buttons using the punches--but it didn't occur to me to emboss them. (thunks head with palm of hand)
BRILLIANT!!
and such a wonderful accent to that card!!
Oh, what a COOL TUTORIAL!! I know you posted this months ago, but I just found it quite by accident!! I defintely will give this a try!!
I have one question ... when you say that you layered the powder three to four times to make it a little thicker, what do you mean? Do you use the VersaMark ink each time ... or do you dip them into the embossing powder, heat, then dip again?
Thanks for any help you can provide!! I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! :)
