Brads


Not the utterly handsome, rustic, pensive one with all the kids. Not the one that dresses well with the stunning blue eyes, not even the one I dated in college, or the one that raises labradoodles. No, not those Brads. But the brads from the Artful Delight January Card Kit!


I'm a clean and simple crafter at heart and love all the embellishments that come with the Artful Delight Card Kits each month, I marvel at their goodness. In that regards, I don't like to have a lot of layers on my cards, but still want to use each and every embellishment...like the brads. I used them on my card today, along with two of the patterned paper and some fun tulle.

Today's Tip: Hop on over to the Artful Delight Blog where I have a quick tutorial on how to get the most use out of brads without adding the additional bulk or layers to your cards-it takes literally less than a minute to transform them.

    Hopped over, and LOVE your tip, Karen! I will be using it! Your card is so beautiful ... the blacks with a touch of color, and the small elements, really work well with the "little" sentiment.
