Hopping with the Imaginisce i-top

How is the Imaginisce i-top Hop treating you so far? Have you discovered some clever ideas for using an i-top on your cards? If you are just jumping into the hop, there is an opportunity to find some wonderful ideas for using an i-top on cards and a chance to win your very own i-top and accessories just for playing along. Please see the details at the bottom of this post.
I thought it would be fun to make a dimensional birthday card with a party hat as the theme. I also used the Imaginisce Birthday Bash collection to create this and one of the 28mm Brad Daddies was the perfect topper for my hat, because it helped dress up the hat by attaching the curling ribbon perfectly.
I used the 28mm punch to purposely select these candle graphics in the patterned paper. Isn't it fun? Because it is an enormous brad, it poked through the chipboard very easily and then had space to attach the curling ribbon securely.

It only took a few ingredients to make this card. Below is a visual recipe for fun...
First Ingredient - Trusty i-top from Imaginisce. I used this to create the large pom pom on the party hat.
Second Ingredient - 28 mm Brad Daddies from Imaginisce. They are the perfect size for making a graphic on patterned paper show up on your project. I used the punch to select the little candles as part of my design for the card.
Third Ingredient - Birthday Bash collection from Imaginisce. This is one of my very favorite collections as I love to scrap with reds, browns and blues. This is just the perfect palette of birthday happiness.
Fourth Ingredient - Melody Ross Chipboard Banners. I happened to have these lying around my scraproom, but really you could cut your own 5 x 5 chipboard triangle to create the same effect.
Fifth Ingredient - Cricut Birthday Bash Cartridge. This one is so much fun and very different from some of the other Cricut birthday themes. I set the hat brim to 9.5 inches to perfectly match the bottom of the the chipboard banners.
Sixth Ingredient - White Curling Ribbon. Who doesn't have some of this lying around the house? It made a perfectly inexpensive embellishment for my party hat. I used three strips and cut them to different lengths.
Seventh Ingredient - White Gel Pen. I love to doodle stitching on my projects and this time for fun, I added some x's to break up the pattern.

Seven is a lucky number for a recipe of ingredients, so I hope that you get some inspiration for a project of your own. And...I hope you walk away from this hop with your very own i-top.

Next Stop on the Hop -
