I was having fun with the Kind Thoughts Brocade Stencil again.. this time with one of the new In Colors, "Soft Suede". Yummy color, isn't it? (stenciled and stamped on a Sahara Sand Top Note Die).
As you can see, I added one of the Jumbo Grommets with a Build A Brad in the center...I HAVE A CONFESSION... I was kind of afraid of these Grommets so I didn't use them until last week!! GEESH!! How stupid silly is that??????????
But these Jumbo Grommets are sooooooooooooooooooo easy to use!!!
They come in 4 colors to a pack (white, vanilla, black and silver).
See those little "teeth"? That's how we're going to set it...
Place the grommet onto your card and place them both on top of the Black Foam mat that comes in the Mat Pack:
Then.. how easy is this.. just PUSH WITH YOUR FINGERS!!
Flip it over and push down those little legs with your Bone Folder!
OK>> so HOW EASY IS THAT? What was I so afraid of??
You can add a Build A Brad, or a decorative brad,or a rhinestone brad, or a button in the center if you wish.. lots of possibilities!!
Want to win a free package of them?? Leave me a comment and tell me what you like to put in the center of the Jumbo Grommets and I'll pick a random winner on Saturday at noon (CA time) and send you a pack! Leave your full name and email address IN YOUR POST to be eligible (so I can contact you).
I was afraid to use mine too! I just started using them. I like to bring the ribbon thru them.
Love your card too!

I would like a button in the center. If it was a bit larger than the hole, it would add some extra dimension by being more raised and would look great!

Thanks for the tips; another helpful tutorial.
Posted by: Sue | June 23, 2009 at 04:15 PM
Very cool! I wasn't sure how I'd use them when I saw them in the catty but I like the Build a Brad in the center. I also can see tieing ribbon through them or some type of flower in the center as well.

I'm scared of those grommets too! LOL I'm not sure how big the hole is, but I would try buttons, a paper-pieced image, or even a small flower with a pearl or rhinestone brad in the center of the flower. That would really make it 3D!

Great card! I love the build-a-brad in the center. I'll have to purchase some of the grommets and try them myself. They are quite impressive. I think I'll try ribbon through the center or a small flower. Thanks for the photo tutorial.
Posted by: Karen Moody | June 23, 2009 at 06:35 PM
Patty: I would think a piece of the 5/8" GG ribbon tied in a knot would look pretty - the other thing I think that might be fun is filling the center with Crystal Effects and having a shiny center would create a different look. Thannks for this opportunity to win a package of these. Kadie
Posted by: Kadie Labadie | June 23, 2009 at 06:47 PM
Such a beautiful card -- I need to get that stencil for sure now that I have seen your samples. I have the large one so I can decorate my bedroom walls (really afraid to start tho). What do I use in my grommets? Well my favorite is to use ribbon through the hole and tie different kinds of knots/bows. I have not tried the build-a-brad yet, but will for sure now.

OMG! I was expecting a lot more to the tutorial, so I had to laugh when I learned how easy it is to set a jumbo grommet! And here I thought it'd be out of my skill range, LOL!
So now that I know how to set them, I WANT them (of course!)! I really like the idea of tinted Crystal Effects in the center with some Dazzling Diamonds. Or some beads. The Build-a-Brad idea is cool -- but I'd have to get out of my comfort zone and experiment with those, too. (Really, what's next? And who knew stamping could be such an adventure?)

Patty,
I was wondering how to use them as well. I thought maybe I would need to use my croc-o-dile, but didn't see how it would fit! It is so much easier to do. I am going to try them and put a button in the center, then both the grommet and the button will stand out. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
Posted by: Marilyn | June 23, 2009 at 07:48 PM
I haven't tried them yet either, I would tie ribbon through the center but also a piece of coordinating dsp in the center would look good too. So many possibilities. Thanks for the chance to win some.

Posted by: Brenda Faylee Turner | June 23, 2009 at 08:43 PM
This is a great post...I don't have any of those brads and until now didn't give it much thought as to how to use them, but you have sparked my - give me, give me, give me - gene...LOL I can think of several things to do with the center portion, a tiny round mirror, a tiny picture of the person you are sending the card too, a simple single word, a antique bead of button. Oh I gotta get some of these now!

Posted by: Heidi Lien | June 23, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Thanks for the great explanation! It does look easy. Now I can order someand I think I would use a variety of things in the middle...buttons, Build-a-Brad, or even some microbeads on sticky strip centers or chunky glitter. It all depends on the mood I'm going for. What great wheels for cars and trucks, a tire swing, an inner tube.. I can think of lots of uses! Thanks again, Tammy
Posted by: Tammy Smith | June 23, 2009 at 11:00 PM
I haven't used the pack I bought yet, but I've seen them with a ribbon knot tied in the center, and those have looked really nice! That'll probably be my first use - if I could just remember to use them!

I was wondering if flattening the bsck with our wooden blocks would work. I wrote on my blog about that when I use brads. The prongs on the back are flattened and they are so nice looking on the front. http://tarheelstamper.blogspot.com/2009/05/branch-out-card-and-flattening-brad.html is the post bout it.

Ever since I have seen them, I have wanted to get them but was also not sure how to use them. This idea has been stuck in my head: put them on the side of a ship and put the little people from all in the family behind the gromet window or making a Noah's arc with animals looking out. Or even better yet, make the pop up cake die into a boat and use them on there as described above. Oh the possibilities.....

Thank you again Patty for a really helpful post. I too have avoided those grommets because, unlike everyone else, I *don't* like my cropadile and never seem to get it to work right. I thought I had to use it with these as well. Guess you have enabled me to add one more thing to my July 1 order... but what are fellow demos there for! Have a great day!

Oh your card is so beautiful. Thanks for the step by step on these grommets. I have been eyeing them but like you I have been wondering how difficult they would be to use. I have seen them with a knotted ribbon in the center. That is probably what I would try first.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: Gloria Dojlido | June 24, 2009 at 05:59 AM

Posted by: Cindy Jenkins | June 24, 2009 at 06:01 AM
Great tutorial, Patty! I would use a little index print photo of the face of one of my precious grandchildren in the center. It would even be cute made into a sort of "photo bouquet" with a flower punched behind each one.

Lots of ideas now, see what you do to me! saboatman@cableone.net
Posted by: stella | June 24, 2009 at 09:31 AM

How about placing a grommet on top of a large flower--so the grommet would be the center?
These would look super in all sorts of bright summery colors.

I was terrified of mine too! I asked my upline (Joann W. in Huntsville,AL) to show me. She did - still scared! Finally, I tied a knot of ribbon and used a glue dot to stick it in the center of my grommet! Ta Dah! Ribbon will cure anything!
Posted by: Mary R | June 24, 2009 at 04:32 PM
I have lots of jumbo brads, and never used them. I had absolutely no idea what to do with them, much less, putting something inside of them. I loved looking at all the responses you got, I hope to try them soon.

Thanks for the tutorial, looks like fun. I would probably use a bunch of my buttons that I have been stashing. They look like lots of things would work. Bling is always good.

What a great idea to use a buid a brad in the center. I haven't purchased any of those yet, but I would love to get my hands on a set LOL!
It's a good life!
