i-Top Feature Week - Day 4

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!

"Cheer" Badges

My son plays travel baseball around our county in a year-round under-8 league. We are often traveling to ball fields we aren't familiar with — what a great way to show "We're with Nate!" by wearing these pins. I love how easy it was to make them using the i-top and the extra large badges. I was able to make one for each of us that go to nearly every game.

Here's a few step-by-step photos of Diana's project.

1.  Gather supplies needed (i-top tool, badge daddies, punch, printed photos)

2.  Using the i-top punch, punch out the photos.

3.  Use the i-top tool and attach the punched out photo to the top of the badge daddy.

 4.  Now adhere the top of the badge daddy to the back of the badge daddy embellishment.

SUPPLIES: Imaginisce tools (i-top, extra large badges, extra large i-top punch), Imaginisce paper (Childhood Memories), white gel pen, corner rounder, small hole punch, The Twinery (stone)

"Appreciation badges"

With the school year winding down I was thinking of ways to thank the teachers and other volunteers who give up their free time for our youth; Scout leaders, coaches, religious education teachers, booster club organizers, etc...
THANK YOU for all you do!!  I have organized many volunteer appreciations through the years. These badges would be perfect to pin on the honorees.

Here is how you can print on the badges...
Create your text in a word processing program. Use a bold font so that it shows up better.
Print the text on a sheet of computer paper.
Punch out the badge top from your pattern paper.

Apply some removable glue tabs to the back of the pattern paper and adhere over your text.
If you hold the paper up to the light (looking at the backside) you'll be able to see to center it over the text.

Now run it through the printer again.

Supplies:

Imaginisce: Love You More: Patterned Paper, Childhood Memories: Pattern Paper; I-Top, Large Badge Daddies

Scorepal; Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalk ink in Blue Moon; lace, Helmar 450 Quick drying glue

Pretty Pins

One of my favorite accessories to an outfit is a pin!  I love to collect vintage pins of all kinds but with the i-Top I now love making my own pins!  I have a few to share with you today! 

My first pin started with a Large Badge Daddy which has a back like a traditional safety pin.  I cut out my green fabric for the top and stitched the pink felt heart on it along with a little other sticking for more color.  I covered the top of the Badge Daddy with the green fabric - this was so easy it just took one little squeeze!  I then put the back on and it was done!  I had this done in 10 minutes!  I am sporting it regularly the my petty pink scarf. 

The second pin started with a Small Badge Daddy.  Using my sizzix I cut out a few fabric flowers and layered them tougher.  I free cut the leaves and stitched them on the back side of the flower.  With the i-Top I  covered the Badge Daddy with blue fabric to be the center of my flower.  I then slipped the Badge Daddy through the center of my flower and pinned it on my spring coat!  

Supplies: Imaginisce: Badge Daddy (large & small); 

Other:felt (green, pink), fabric, Sizzix die-cut machine

i-Top Feature Week - Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of our i-Top Feature!

Today we are sharing projects created by our designers using the Magnet Daddies.
These come in 3 sizes (16mm, 22mm, and 28mm).

These are so much fun because the projects that can be created using the magnets are endless!!!

Let's take a look at what some of our designers have created.

Jodi Wilton

Altered Magnetic Photo Box

For this project I wanted to use the Magnet Daddies in a fun and interactive way. I decided to alter the tin to create a fun place to keep summer photos! I added patterned paper to both sides of the tin and embellished one side with chipboard and stickers.

On the other side of the tin I wanted to be able to replace photos whenever I needed too.  The Magnet Daddies are perfect for this! I covered the small magnet daddies and used the to hold my photos up:

The best thing is, you can switch it up as much as you need too:

I also added some larger magnets from the Magnet Daddies (large) set and adhered them with the i-bond to the fun Endless Summer Die-cuts. Now you can have photos and embellishments changed around anytime you wish.

Any extra Magnet Daddies I had, I placed on the side of the altered Photo Box:

Finally, my favorite-  you can store all your favorite summer photos, along with any extra die-cuts in the tin!  The tin would also be perfect to store a mini album!

Supplies Used: Imaginisce- Patterned Paper, Chipboard Stickers & Die cuts: Endless Summer Collection; ABC Stickers- Childhood Memories; Imaginisce Tools: i-top; small paper punch; magnet daddies (small) & magnet daddies (large); i-bond and clear mini glue sticks.   Other: Maya Road Tin; May Arts Ribbon;  Adhesive: Mod Podge; Punch: Stampin' Up!

Magnetic Chalk Board

Today I have a project that I am just crazy about! I made some special magnets with the Imaginisce Magnet Daddies and I-Top tool for this magnetic chalk board I picked up at Target. And of course I had to jazz it up with some other Imaginisce goodies! My sweet, sweet girl is always drawing/coloring pretty pictures for me and I never have had a great place to display them until now!

Want to know how you can make your own? Let me show you!

First I started out by using the I-Top punches and centered it on pictures that I wanted for my magnets and got my Magnet Daddies ready.

Then I centered the pictures in the I-Top tool...

making sure I had the magnet piece (included in packages of Magnet Daddies) between the top piece and the bottom piece and punched it all together to complete the magnet.

Here is a close up of the 3 magnets I made for my project.

And here is a look at the completed project before it was adorned with some beautiful artwork.

And a close up shot of the bottom right hand corner. I really hope this inspires you to create a place for your special little one's artwork!

Imaginisce supplies used: Patterned Papers (Childhood memories, Good Dog), Alphas (Love You More), I-Top tool, I-Top punches, Magnet Daddies (28mm and 22mm)

Other supplies used: magnetic chalk board from Target, ribbon from May Arts, Silhouette

Magnets

I'm happy to share with you the unconventional way I used the Magnet Daddies.  I gathered my large Magnet Daddies and the small Magnet daddies -- using the tops of the large and the backs/magnets of the small magnet daddies.  

I punched 1" photos and patterned paper and adhered them with white foam tape to the INSIDE of the large Magnet Daddies tops.  I adhered the small backs to the back of the tops and the magnets to the back of that.  Leaving me with personalized strong magnets!  

SUPPLIES:
Large Magnet Daddies

Small Magnet Daddies

White Foam Tape

Patterned Paper: Good Dog

Magnet Board

One of my favorite tools from Imaginisce is the I Top!  There are so many wonderful things that you can create with it.  For my project I used the Magnet Daddies and I created a Magnet Board for my scraproom.  I can hang some inspiration or lists of things to do.  I created a video on  how to create one of these boards and how to use the I Top. 

Mary Pat also created a video of her creation.
