Just a quick question - for the buttons you use on your cards, do you use the medallion (plastic) or the flat back (metal) components ? Thanks S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848027591545577710.post-73464697605067957392013-10-01T12:01:25.948-07:002013-10-01T12:01:25.948-07:00I would love one of these machines. But so far, I...I would love one of these machines. But so far, I cannot justify the expense. So for those who are in the same boat I am, take a look at the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio tools. I have many of them & like them. They are not quite the same thing but are much less expensive & come in various shapes (round, oval, heart, square, flower, hexagon) & sizes. You can use them as a flat back button on a card or layout. But they also have additional/optional parts so you can turn them into a charm. And of course, if you're crafty enough, you could add magnetic material or a pin (check bead stores!) to the back. Like I said...not quite the same thing...but a nice alternative if you don't want to spend the big bucks. ;-)<br /><br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Epiphany-Crafts-Shape-Studio-Round/dp/B004M5D4XO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1380653638&sr=8-3&keywords=epiphany+craftsSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928214296185030395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848027591545577710.post-75713429026362577112013-09-28T03:53:18.289-07:002013-09-28T03:53:18.289-07:00Hi Jin.

The punch you use, is it the one that sits on the table or is it the handheld? Also could you tell me what I need to look for on ebay for the flat back buttons (just 1" button parts?) Are the metal or plastic backs better for scrapbooking?Taniesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790000859639424016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848027591545577710.post-85454654669400828582013-09-27T11:12:22.902-07:002013-09-27T11:12:22.902-07:00Thank you!Thank you!tingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355434551000151328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848027591545577710.post-37520880573872087952013-09-27T10:48:52.911-07:002013-09-27T10:48:52.911-07:00I use THIS.

Your machine should come with an adapter (a small disc) that allows you to make flatback buttons (as opposed to pinbacks). Also, I can't believe I forgot to add the name of the font!

Am going to purchase the 1 inch Professional to use in my other business and papercrafting. And I am always asking font names LOL, what can I say. What font did you use to make your calendar buttons?
