Have you tried out our i-top punches before?
These are the punches that go along with the i-top tool to create the brads.
Check out how Amanda used the punches on her layout below!!

"Blossom" layout

I have a confession to make, I had never used my I top tool before this assignment! I have 3 little ones, and my scrapping time is usually in spurts, and I thought oh, those must take forever to make, I don't have time for that...boy, was I wrong!! The I top tool, is so fun and easy to use, and it makes very sturdy brads! I loved how easy it was to punch them through my paper, no piercer needed ( because again, who has time for that!), and you can make custom brads to suit your needs!! 

For my project, I decided to have fun not only with the brad maker, BUT with the i top punches also! I used all 3 sizes, to create a fun background for my project!

I love the fun look of these punches, and it helped me to add some fun pattern and texture to this layout. Then in the "open spots" I added in a mix of my custom i top brads, wood veneer, and rhinestones.  I kept the rest of the embellishing to a minimum, just a few pieces layered here and there for even more interest.

Then to make my journaling and title really pop, I adhered a few of my custom brads clustered there, it really helps to draw your eye in!

I have a new love in the i top tool, and it quickly went to the top of my must use list!!! :)

Happy Camper with Guiseppa

Today designer Guiseppa Gubler shows you just how easy it is to create embellishments using our i-top punches. They come in 3 different sizes.

I love making flowers, they are my go to embellishment.  So, I decided to make a layered flower to go on my layout.  

I did  this by using the I-Top Punches.  The sizes I used were the 16mm, 22mm and 28mm punches.

I punched out three different colors of patterned paper and layered them with the largest punched out flower on the bottom and the smallest on the top.

Next I wanted a flower center so I used my I-Top to create a center for my flower.  

There it is a quick and simple way to add a cute flower embellishment to your page.
