need help with ribbon brads

[KristiK]

:confused: I rec'd some brads with a loop on the side, (ribbon brads?). I need some ideas on how to use them. Does anyone have cards using them posted in their gallery? Thanks!

They are called 'Loopy Brads'. Here is a card I found using them.

Might just get your creative juices flowing!

I've seen them used to do corset style lacing (so the ribbon or cord criss crosses and then ties in a bow at the top). You can also use them to hang a charm or bead using ribbon, thread or a split ring.

I just use them wherever I want just a little bit of ribbon, because they are so easy to tie the ribbon onto...here are a couple simple examples from my gallery:
Distressed photo by nottoocreative at Splitcoaststampers (hard to see but the ribbon is tied to it with the WW tags hanging from it)

They may not be fabulous cards overall, but at least you can get the idea I hope! I would use them more if I had more colors (I just have the nickel ones right now) so I could give examples of where I COULD have used one (I used a staple or just glue instead)...
HTH!
