Congrats w/Washi

Hi Friends! kel here today to share a super easy and super fun graduation card!

I started with some wide star washi for this card, laying it out diagonally over a white piece of cardstock. Then I used some Glitter Black Washi Tape and Glitter Copper Washi Tape to make matching bands to cover the rest of the white cardstock piece! I actually used 2 strips of black, and then 2 strips of copper... using just 1 strip was too thin in my opinion.

All this card needed after that was this nice "congrats" sentiment and then it was done! The shine is just gorgeous and I absolutely love how it came out!! And the awesome thing is that you can't really even see the seams between washi strips... it just looks like that's the pattern on the paper itself!!

Thanks for stopping by today and see you again soon!!

I'm a Fan of Eyelet Outlet

I'm loving the Fan stamp set from Eyelet Outlet!

It can be used for sports themes, 

just to chit-chat, 

to encourage, 

and to send greetings for a fantastic day, 

just to mention a few things.

Have a Fan-Tastic Day Card:

I needed a little extra bling for my card but didn't seem to find anything in the right color scheme, so I decided to try coloring the Eyelet Outlet white Matte Finish Enamel Dots using my Copic Markers.

It worked!

How fun is that?!!?!?

You Are the Apple of My Eye

Happy Saturday!  Who is joining us this weekend in Arlington, TX at the Great American Scrapbook Convention (GASC)? If you are at the show, please stop by and say hello.  

This is Rebecca, back today with a card featuring one of the NEW stamp sets!  I can't get enough of playing with these stamps - they're just so easy to stamp and get a great image.

I stamped the baskets and then stamped apple outline colors with dye inks.  I tfilled the apples with a bit of watercolor in similar shades.

Alright, that's enough talk of cards and stamping.  Go grab yourself a cool, crisp apple and then get outside for this beautiful summer day!

Eyelet Outlet Items used:

Apple Clear Stamp Set

Apple Brads

Bright Heart Enamels

Crazy Cat Lady?

TGIF crafty friends!  Susie here with a card for the cat lover in all of us!   This sentiment from The Project Bin just makes me giggle - if we aren't that person we know that person, right?  Time to play...

I found a stamp in my stash of a little girl that was exactly the right size for a black Cat Brad!

She was stamped with Archival Ink then water colored.

I added strips of washi tape to the left of my tiny little cat lover and then topped off that embellishment cluster with one of the newly released Paw Brads.

I created a card base with black cardstock and added a pink background to coordinate with the pink balloon.

If cats are your thing - or if you want to make a set of cards to gift to your favorite cat lover - you can find all kinds of cat themed items HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!  Susie

I'm Your Biggest Fan!

Hi guys, it's Lauren here again. Father's Day is this coming Sunday, but there's still time to whip up a quick card or two featuring Eyelet Outlet Fan Stamps!

 
My favorite thing about this stamp set is that it's double duty and works perfectly with both the #1 Foam Hand Brads and also with the vintage-style fans from the Telephone and Fan Brads set.

I went sporty with my first card, pairing the sentiment "Have a FAN-tastic Day" with a Foam Hand and giant oversized letters I made using the super-fun Sports Tape.

I had already chosen a different paper for my second card when I stumbled upon this Echo Park "Vintage Fans" paper at my favorite papercrafting shop, Paper Anthology. The irony is that I was attracted to the *other* side of the paper which has a cool woodgrain pattern! Having seen the fans, however, needless to say it only took me about 15 seconds to swap out my original choice. This time I've added the Fan Brad right to the label shape which holds the sentiment, "I'm Your Biggest Fan".

Of course, these ideas aren't only for Father's Day, they'd be equally good for most any occasion, like Dad's birthday or any other milestone. For that matter, if you swap out "DAD" for a first name, or swap the letters for stars, hearts or a stamped image, the possibilities are nearly endless! I hope you'll be inspired to improvise... I think the Fan Stamps will blow you away, lol!

Wedding Wishes

Hi, folks!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.

June, the time for weddings!  And for the wedding and bridal shower cards, too.  Here's a shower card made with three of Eyelet Outlet's latest brad releases; the Wedding Brads (Ring and Champagne Glass) and the Dress Brads.

I made a gatefold card with soft colors and patterns which served as the perfect backdrop for the brads.  The alternating banners make for a unique opening.

A closer look at the brads reveals I added some Jewel Bling for the diamond with some additional bling around the "bubbly".  The dress brad comes in an assortment of colors, but I wanted my bride to wear white.  Fortunately, these brads take heat embossing like a champ.  After I attached the dress to the banner, I tucked a tiny bit of tulle as the veil with another jewel for the headpiece.

Inside, the Silver Bell Brads were just the right accompaniment to the sentiment.

After the shower come the nuptials and here's my second card helping to celebrate the big day.  In addition to the same Bell Brads in Gold this time, I used the Cross Brads, Glitter Gold Enamel Dots, and Color Wheel Washi Tape as my "stained glass" window.  The roof and doors were covered with Chalk Board Washi Tape.

The front doors open to reveal the greeting.

And here's the inside of the card.

 After the wedding, there's the reception!  And it wouldn't be complete without a wedding cake.  Here's my 3D version using the Fancy Long Bling with Pearls and Jewels.  There are those Bells again together with the Glitter Dot Washi.

The used the Glitter Washi as my color inspiration and even tinted the Pearls in the bling using Copic markers.  They take color beautifully.

When you're thinking weddings, think Eyelet Outlet for not only cards but decorations, favors, wrapping and scrapbook layouts to capture the memories.

I hope you enjoyed these wedding cards...see you next week with something new!

Eyelet Outlet, who is well known for its awesome (and economical) embellishments now has clear STAMPS, too! That is so exciting!

This is the Apple Stamp Set:

The possibilities for using this stamp set are many - especially when paired with the apple-themed brads available at Eyelet Outlet.

I used this stamp set to make two cards.

Card #1

Card #2

In addition to the Apple Stamp set, 

I used the following Eyelet Outlet products on my cards:

Apple Brads

Heart Brads

Pearl Strips (Black)

I'll be back next Sunday with two cards featuring Eyelet Outlet's Fan Stamp Set.... I hope you'll come back to see them, too.

Fintastic!

Welcome to the weekend! And an extra shout out to anyone visiting us in St Paul, MN at this weekend’s  Scrapbook Expo Show!!  

This is Rebecca, and this morning I’m playing with the NEW Fish Stamp Set, one of 16 great new coordinating stamps now available in the store and at shows. 

First, washi and brads pair with the stamp set for a ready to mail, fishie greeting.

Next, I had some fun with the little fishie stamp for a watercolor background. I heat embossed the fish stamp in a repeating pattern, and then I watercolored the background, creating a resist image.  I fussy cut the fish bowl stamp and used more Brads and washi to finish the card front.



And finally, I used another piece of watercolored background and mixed two packs of fish brads (here and here) the fish stamp to create a full fishing hole.
