Hi everyone!
So have you been enjoying our I-top Intensive week so far? We’ve seen so many inspiring projects & creative ideas using the I-top tool. I love it and today we hope to bring you more great ideas.
We’ve got another fun little hop happening today featuring innovative layout ideas from three of our designers.
I (sorry, forgot to mention that this is Cari typing this post! ;)) love using my I-top tool for my layouts. One tip when using this tool is to keep those little screws on the top of both swiveling arms tight. They tend to loosen with use. Just use a small Allen wrench and tighten up those screws because this will help your tool to make brads, magnets, buttons more effectively.
If you’re looking for some more helpful tips & basic maintenance of your tool check out this video below. There's also a row of tabs on the Home page of the Imaginisce web site and one of the tabs lists "Videos" or click HERE. There's a lot of great ideas and helpful tips & tricks to check out on these videos.
Below are some sneak peeks of what you’ll see as you make your way on the hop.
(by Penny Smith)
(by Robyn Schaub)
(by Cari Locken)
Please visit all three of the designers blogs, leave a comment and then head back to the Imaginisce blog and leave a final comment letting us know what you discovered.
So would you like to win one of these??
All of your comments make you eligible to win an awesome i-top of your own with many of the accessories.

Yet another day full of inspiration, love all the ideas that have been shown in these three days and looking forward to the next two!
Brads as bullet points, handkerchiefs as buttons...I haven't been disappointed yet! Keep it coming :)
I stopped by all three blogs. I mostly create layouts so I was very interested in the different ways to use the i-top brads on layouts. Thanks so much!

Those were some awesome layouts! I never would've thought to use acetate over fabric to give it a shine and I have never tried to spray my pages. I love the fabric brads in the center of flowers....SO PRETTY! Thnaks for the great ideas!
Thanks for more inspiring layouts. I love these "hops" I'm going to miss them when they are gone!
Thanks for the hop! So much inspiration to be had.

I absolutely love the projects using the i-top. I would use this tool everyday. I wish I could get one. Maybe someday if my hubby finds a job I'll have extra money to start buying craft tools again.

I stopped by all the blogs and what ideas they shared. I love how versatile this tool really is. I sure hope that I get to add it to my scrapbook room this year!!
Another wonderful mini hop. I actually prefer the short ones. With the looooong hops, there is so much that one forgets half of the cool things one sees! I guess my favorite is the banner with the itop. What a neat idea!!!!
Wow, those layouts are fabulous. I just love the creative used for the i-Top.
Loving these mini blog hops and the video.
Love todays projects! And Cari had a couple of great tips on her blog.
Wow! I have got to get me one of these tools - since I have learned so much about how to use them! Great instruction on using fabric, even silk, on these brads/buttons! And I loved the masking idea using Cricut cutouts - why didn't I think of that! Thanks so much for all the great inspiration!
I blog hopped! I loved Penny's layouts, Robyn's use of fabric, & Cari's flowers!
FABULOUS hop ladies! Gorgeous layouts and fabulous inspiration!
Awesome layouts from everyone! I love these mini hops.
Wow, all the things I wouldn't know if I hadn't hopped today: to save my acetate to back thin fabrics on the brads; another use for baby wipes so my brads are smooth; to add i-rock bling to the top of a finished brad makes them look super cool; to coat the finished brad with Crystal Laquer for durability and a bit of a sheen---and with a finger!!! So cool today. Thanks so much!
Each designer had s great way to use the i-top it's great to see the versatility!
love all these great ideas! they are so inspiring!
I want an i-top so badly! I didn't get one for Xmas. LOVE all the terrific ideas!!!
Oh I really loved everyone's layouts! Love the hankie idea. I just gave away a box of scarfs to my SIL, maybe asking to go through it again. LOL All that's missing is the iTop! Thanks for another amazing day of hopping with some very talented ladies. ;0)

These terrific examples of how to use the i-top brads is really making me want one. All the layouts are wonderful.
Loving these mini hops! Thanks for the fun and the wonderful ideas!!
The fabric, smooth edge, flower,and protective shine in the video are great. I loved Penny's layout, Robins use of fabric and Cari's flowers. Now I am hoping my usual unlucky curse will fail. I really would like the I-top.

Interesting, I've never seen this machine before.
Beautiful projects by all of the designers, as usual! I love the fabric brads-they remind me of the covered buttons that my mother used to make years ago! Perfect for retro or vintage projects. :)
LOVE Robin's banner of brads! Love Penny's misting! Love Cari's LO of herself-I always forget to do ones of myself!! Great work today!

I've said it before....I need the i-top tool!
iTop to the rescue!
Your DT is sharing some awesome tricks for using this fab tool! Makes me want to track down clips and button daddies.
Love the ideas! Since I am primarily a layout scrapper (with a few cards and crafts thrown in) these will help so much!
Amazing! Love how much the brads add to the pages.
Anne
LOVE these!! I really and loving the fabric on projects. It adds great texture. Thanks for sharing.
Stunning layouts ladies. I loved the idea of using the silk hankie on the brads and it made a lovely banner style embellishment.

This is a great blog hop! TFS Susan shanna13@frontiernet.net
Buttons, and brads, and videos, oh my! We're definitely not in Kansas anymore Toto! We've walked into an Imaginisce world of creativity!
I love the mini blog hop...I get lots of creative ideas, fall in love with new designers and learn lots of wonderful ways to use the itop - lovin' the fabric idea and even using clear packaging as a layer to protect delicate fabric! Wow!
Thanks for another great mini hop. Love seeing the layouts with the buttons.

I really enjoyed today's because layouts are my thing and I love seeing ideas on making great layouts. Thanks for today!
Seriously, where have I been when there have been other pieces besides just the brads?! Crazy.
spunkycrayon at yahoo dot com
What a great day and fantastic inspiration from all girls
Very cute layouts! loved them!
More beautiful prjects!
Loved all the examples. The ideas are endless. Thanks for continuing to think outside the box. Would you ever consider selling your brads in larger bulk amounts? I teach card classes and I like to buy products in larger amounts and keep on hand, because I always make more than 8 of anything. Just wondering:) Love the product. Keep up the great ideas.
loved seeing the i-top brads on LOs! they just match so well with the pages!
