Hello out there in bloggy world. Today I am sharing my first project made for the i-top intensive week at the Imaginisce blog where we will be showcasing different ways to use your i-top! :)
Today Liz, Kim, and I are showing you cards using the i-top. You should have gotten here from the Imaginisce blog and now you are headed over to Kim's blog!!!
I was trying to think of something super fun to share with you and I hope that you liked that I used the i-top for the ladybug's spots. :)
Recipe:
Cartridges: Wild Card™ (shape of the card) and Create a Critter™ (ladybug)
Embossing folders: Swiss Dots™ (Ladybug's spots) and D'vine Swirls™
Pattern Paper: Imaginisce Garden Party Collection "Brambleberry Flowers" and "Wild Flowers" from the 6x6 Paper Pad
Flowers: Imaginisce Foral Flourish- Pinks™
Solid pattern paper: Cricut™ and Core'dinations™
Stamps: My Pink Stamper: Family and Friends™
i-top™
16mm brad daddies (small)
i-rock™
Hot Rock Compacts - Crystal™
Extreme Adhesive Squares from Glue Arts™
Designer's notes:
I used my i-rock to set the stones on the top of the ladybug's antennae and the middle of the flowers.
I sanded the Core'dinations paper after embossing it with swiss dots to create the "polka dots" on the brads.
I used my Extreme Adhesive Squares from Glue Arts™ to layer and attach the flowers - they aren't going anywhere! :)
Oh! The winner of the Rockin' New Years blog hop is my good friend Stacy!
This is super cute Courtney, love the horn on there.

The way that you did the spots on the ladybug: GENIUS!! What a creative use for the very snazzy, i-Top! Thanks for sharing.
Love the Lady Bug!!! I have been wanting to get an i-top (and i-rock) for quite a while now. Maybe this will be my lucky week...or I'll just keep waiting until I have some extra money.
That I-top is very universal embellishment
