Use Brads to give your cards a Unique Look!

Brads are a great way to personalize your cards.  Here I have three birthday cards for you that have different personalities because I used different brads.  Otherwise they'd be identical!

Here is the recipe for the identical parts:

1. The base is constructed with Crumb Cake cardstock (8.5 by 4.25, scored at 4.25).
2. The background paper (5.25" by 4.25") from the Everyday Enchantement DSP which is a sneak peak from the new SAB brochure.  SAB starts January 24th!!!
3. The greeting is from the stamp set Upsy Daisy and I stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock (2" by 4" and torn on one edge) with Pool Party ink. 
4. The flower stem is from the set For All You Do and I stamped in Always Artichoke to be a bit darker than the Lucky Limeade in the DSP.
5. The flowers are cut from the same DSP as the background but this is the reverse side.  I cut them with my Big Shot and the Floral Fusion Sizzlits Die.  They are popped up with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Brads are such a fun and great embellishment that I will talk about them in the next three posts.  So come and see me tomorrow!
