    I guess I'm a bit boring but I like plain round, 2 hole (4's not bad but 2's easier for crafting) buttons.

    I like the classic two -hole button, maybe because I hate sewing on buttons ... except for cardmaking! ;-)

    I love the red button berries with the holly leaves (Buttoned by Debby). What a brilliant idea. I will have to borrow this idea for when I make Christmas cards.

    Awesome cards. I really love the variety they all provide on different ways to use buttons. My favorite shape are heart buttons that look vintage with only two holes. It is easier to use than a 4 hole button.

    Buttons are fascinating... I prefer matte finishes in any shape, but I really like squares and floral shapes for added interest! =)

  33. Teresa (Smeared and Creased)November 2, 2011 at 6:01 PM

    Honestly, other shaped buttons are cute - but look at the versatility of a round button - the DT girls rocked these projects - they are outstanding!!! You cannot go past the good old round button!!

    Round buttons would be my go-to shape because you can use them anywhere! Although it's always lovely to have a choice sometimes.

    I like the clear round buttons that I can color with alcohol inks. I also like my "button" punch so that I can punch faux buttons to match any card.

    Classic round buttons are the most versatile (personally, I like 4 hole buttons the most), but it's fun to have specialty/novel buttons too.

    Another fabulous set of cards from the Simon Says Stamp DT. :)

  47. ColleenNovember 2, 2011 at 10:30 PM

    I like buttons...the two holes ones are really nice, the tie can be a bow on top or just tucked under the button...but then, I do like the 4 holed button, especially if you make an X with the thread!

    Really wonderful cards! I love the Thanks a Bunch card with blues and greens, and the last card simply handmade with the tag and doily! I love square buttons, wood buttons and shell buttons. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi, I just loved Joy's button card. So many techniques used with such soft pastel colour background allows the Pink Buttons and Pin to highlight the whole card.

    Wow these are Awesome samples!! I think my fave button shape is a square, but it's so hard to find, and so I have to settle for the round in my stash. Thanks for the chance to win the fabulous HA set!
