Welcome to our final day of our i-Top Feature Week.
We hope that you've been inspired by the creations that our design team has shared with you this past week.
Today we have a few more projects to show you using the fabulous & fun Brad Daddies.
These also come in a variety of sizes (16mm, 22mm, 28mm and 34mm).
These can be used on cards, layouts, flowers, fabric, etc. The possibilities are endless.
Let's see what our designers created.
BBQ Party
I love the way you can use the I-top to customize brads for any project. For this layout I wanted to make some brads that went with the BBQ theme of my layout. I used the medium, large and extra large brad daddies and found images on the patterned paper that would work with each size. If they had any other images overlapping after I turned them into brads I used white paint on the edges to make them look cleaner. To add them to my layout I cut out a cool circle background with my Silhouette and filled in the circles with patterned paper and brads.
Supplies: Patterned Paper and Stickers - Imaginisce Endless Summer and Childhood Memories Collection, I-top tool, Medium, Large and Extra Large Brad Daddies, Cardstock – Bazzill Basics, Paint – Craft Smart, Die Cut Machine – Silhouette, Cut File Karla Dudley
Accordion Mini Album
Brads and buttons are one of the most used scrapbook embellishments, it just adds so much into a project, don't you agree? but what more else if you can create your own that will match your paper and the entire layout you're working on, it's really awesome! Tha's why I say, I-top tool is a must :) for us scrapbookers/crafters. I created this accordion mini album for my sweet niece and for me flowers seems to be the perfect embellishment for it. I used I-top tool and make my own designed brads and put them in the middle of the flower.
Supplies used: Love You More Collection, I-Top Tool; Paper Punch and Brad Daddies.
Other Supplies: Clear Scraps Mascils and Accent Paper flowers.
Good Dog Card Kit
I love coordinating products -- it makes creating something so much easier and really takes a lot of the guesswork out of finding the right colors, matching patterns, etc. It's one of the reasons I love using my i-Top and Brad Daddies. I can create perfectly coordinated embellishments from whatever patterned paper I happen to be inspired to use.
I have several friends who are dog lovers and who are also cardmakers. I thought it would be fun to put together a coordinated card kit for them to use to create multiple complimentary cards.
Using the Good Dog collection and my own stash of twine and card stock, I had many of the right elements, but what the kit really needed was some cute coordinating embellishments. So I made my own using the i-Top punch, the i-Top, and Brad Daddies!
I put all the brads on a card back and placed everything inside a sturdy plastic box. It was enough for my dog loving friend to create 6 cards! The card kit idea will work with any collection, so now I'm off to create some for my surf, treehouse, and birthday-loving friends!
Supplies used:
(patterned paper from Good Dog collection) Imaginisce; Cardstock (various colors) Stampin' Up!; Fibers: (twine) The Twinery; Tools: (i-Top Punch, i-Top, Brad Daddies) Imaginisce; (Heart Punch) Stampin' Up!

The brads are really neat. Other than using them for "brads" I suppose they could be used for temporary pin embellishments in a sweater or a hairpiece. I'm just not able to come up with anything else right now. But I would love to win this tool for obvious reasons!
ReplyDeleteI would use them for coordinating embellishments like Regina's. Love that idea! I would also use them for buttons in the kids' shirts or pockets - I think it would be a lovely touch and I would use them for my scrapbook layouts.
