Chickaniddy Crafts: Focus on Brads

on July 26, 2014

The other day was my day over on Chickaniddy Crafts! I'm featuring Chickaniddy Crafts brads!

Supplies: Paper (DN14OS02) Mini Sticker Tags (DN14EB04) Mini Sticker Banners (DN14EB03) Mini Sticker Sentiments (DN14EB05) Brads (DN14EB06)

I'm a huge fan of brads and I love Chickaniddy's! I mixed metal rimmed with a diecut embellished brad.

For added interest, I've stacked the brads on cork circles.

TIP: Look at household goods to supplement your craft supplies. Today's card uses cork that is marketed to adhere on the bottom of your furniture legs/feet.

I love the movement of the Date Night Dance School paper. You simply cannot go wrong with mint + navy!

This card measure 4.25 x 4.25.

I love to make smaller scaled cards so that the embellishments pack a punch!

How about you, what is your favorite card making size?
