I-Top Brad Making Tool is Awesome!

I was playing with my wonderful new I-Top tool from Imaginisce and not only made the brads, I created 3d flowers to go along with them! The fabulous new October Afternoon papers Fly a Kite and Thrift Shop were perfect choices to show off these fun flower cards and a tag.

On the tag is a medium size brad and a flower that was punched twice and also scrunched into a 3d shape.

This 6x6 card is just layered up with different patterns and shows off the largest brad and a Tim Holtz Sizzix flower.  Notice how easy it looks to center an image on the brad?  You will love this tool if you don't already own one.  I'll be demoing the I-Top at the Shoppe next Thursday if you'd like to stop by for some personal instruction.  Hello Girlfriend is from Hero Arts.

Paper Arts Club July Newsletter (Click on Title to View Newsletter)

Another great club night!  I forgot to mention in the newsletter that we also made yet another 3d flower!  Here is a photo of the prototype and when finished with pattern papers, it was awesome.  I was staring at a Prima flower I had on a card that I didn't have enough of for club night, so I decided to replicate it with punches and voila!  Another 3d flower is born!  This goes perfectly with my flower techniques class coming up on Saturday, August 7th.  We'll be learning at least 12 3d flower techniques!
