WT830 ~ Brads 2/4/21

[Shoe Girl]

Lisa here your hostess for this weeks Ways to Use It challenge.

Hello friends. As many of you are aware I have a tote on my table of items to get used up. I came across a packet of brads that are a bit chunky. Well that got me thinking how can I use these and minimize tons of extra postage.

My challenge to you today add a brad to your cards.

In our tutorial section we have a great tutorial called Faux Brads Tutorial - Splitcoaststampers. Feel free to use this tutorial if you don't have any brads.

I can't wait to see your cards this week. Have fun with the challenge.

Here is a link to our gallery: Brads

Here is my sample: All Brads

If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:

1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.

We have wonderful cards this week from the very creative team.

Lisa you need to have this challenge at least once a month...I have TONS of brads!

Brads, Not Just A Name

[basketdiva]

FYI- cards with brads will cost more to send due to the thickness. A bit of padding in the envelope will help the machinery from tearing the envelope.

It was great to get out the brads and use one on a card today. Here is a birthday card.

Lisa, I use brads quite often and have many to choose from, so of course I loved your theme. You can see my card - HERE.

Two brads...the heart in the center was just a red brad with some flourishes on it so I put some glitter on it to make it stand out:

Fun to take out my brad stash! I tried a few different ideas for this card, and ended up adding black heart beads. Fun to use the stash and see what I have stored away too!

Hi everyone, this is my card for the Challenge. I have lots of brads in my stash and still love to use them even though they seem to have fallen somewhat by the wayside. I especially love them for masculine cards - and the card I made was for my husband for Father's Day which was today in Australia.

Hope you like my card: WT830 Where Eagles Soar!
