Day 1 ~ The i-top 2.0

We are thrilled to introduce the new & improved i-top tool.

You will find it to be lighter weight than the original

which makes it easier to grip.

It's a darker pink in color and the rubber keeps those brads in place

while you are working with the tool.

We have come out with a new carriage (34mm size)

that you attach to the i-top tool just as you did with the other heads.

This will allow you to create with the extra-large brads (34mm).

They are absolutely so much fun to create projects with

and our Design Team has been busy at work creating with their new tools.

Throughout the week we will be sharing many wonderful projectswith you,

The Design Team was asked to create Thanksgiving themed projects using the i-top tool.

Let's see what they've done.

Michelle Unruh

"Happy Thanksgiving"

Design Team member, Michelle, created this gorgeous project using some of the Happy Harvest collection & Roly Rosies. She made some i-top magnets to hold the paper in place on her 8x8 Creative Memories display board and large brads for the centers of the flowers in the beautiful cornucopia.

Here's some close-up shots.

Tracey Taylor

"Simple Joys"

Tracey created this wonderful fall themed layout using Happy Harvest collection. She used the i-top and covered some brads with burlap to use as embellishments for the flowers and leaves. You can use just about anything to cover the brads with and that's what makes the i-top 2.0 so much fun to use!

Courtney Lee

"Thank You" Hostess Gift

Are you in need of a hostess gift for the turkey dinners you've been

invited to this Thanksgiving? This would make the perfect gift!

Courtney has creatively embellished this bottle of wine with cut out leaves from our Happy Harvest collection and used the i-top brads to finish off the nicely tied raffia bow.

Keely Yowler

"Autumn Splendor"

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for so much. The card that Keely created is perfect for this time of the year to remind friends & family how thankful you are for them.

Robyn Schaub

"We Are Blessed"

Robyn used the small brad daddies to create the banner. She covered them with fabric and burlap and then wrapped some twine around each one to connect them leaving a little bit hanging at each end.

... and now it's time for a

Giveaway!!!

We couldn't just show you these wonderful projects and

tell you how amazing the new i-top 2.0 is

without giving you a chance to win one!

"Snowflake" card

Here are a few tips from Cristal on how she used

the adhesive squares to add glitter to her snowflake.

Choose which side you want the glitter

and lay that gently onto the Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Square.

Wrap adhesive square around the end of the snowflake then mold with fingers.

Lay on non-stick surface and sprinkle glitter overtop. Shake off excess glitter.

You will notice that there will be some adhesive on the back of the snowflake which

you can use to adhere to the front of the card.

The finished snowflake!
