Last night we gathered at
Hsiao-hui Lin's home for a
SU! jewelry class. The previous post highlighted Linda's polished stone technique. This post features my
build a brad bracelet.
This was the bracelet made with
SU! build-a-brad. This one uses a
walk in the park dsp from the
occasions mini catalog.
Here are two more shown a little closer. The one closest to my hand uses
bella birds dsp and the one next to that uses
jackpot dsp.
This one uses another sheet of a
walk in the park dsp. What I'm showing here is the bracelet made with links and the
build a brads ready to be locked into place.
You may be able to see in this photo how the back of the
brads are folded back to hug onto the chain links. If you use your
needle nose pliers from your
SU! took kit, it folds pretty easily, but I must admit, I did most of them with my fingers.
I love to stamp and of course you could stamp the images behind the
build-a-brads, but when you have such
lovely dsp from SU! there is no need. So, what I had everyone do was to make a
3 by 3 card to give with a gift. The card base is
textured pacific point card stock. I rolled the
SU! wheel boho friends inked in
pacific point classic ink on top of the textured paper. Ooh la la! Next, I had them take a sentiment and stamp it onto the card in
white craft ink for contrast. They also used the stamp set
True Friend to add flowers or some other design from the stamp set to the card front in
white craft ink. We cleaned those stamps and then used some of the same to put a sentiment into the inside of the card with
pacific point ink to which I adhered a smaller piece of
white card stock (2
3/4 in by 2
3/4 in). The envelope was also stamped.
