Design Team Wednesday with Susie

Welcome Eyelet Outlet Fans!
Susie here with two New Year's cards to share with you. My first card is just plain silly and I totally support that!  I used some bright Monster brads to adorn the front of the card.  The panel in front of the monsters is popped up with foam to make it dimensional.  So the monsters are all showing off on the circles below. I also used some Jewel Bling and Enamel Dots in coordinating colors to finish this project.  Who wouldn't like a crazy card full of monsters and bling to wish them a happy new year?




 Next up is a card for that music lover in your life.  Go ahead and wish him a happy new year!!  I used the instrument brads to adorn my gold wreath and I love how it came together.  These brads are currently out of stock, but keep checking back.  Of course you could use any style of coordinating Eyelet Outlet brads to adorn your wreath.






That's it for now, but be sure to stay tuned here at the blog. We will be back with more inspiration in just a few days!


If you have a chance, I would love for you to visit me at The Dies Have It.

Design Team Monday with Dawn

Get inspired by the winter season!
Whether you base your inspiration on the holidays or the weather,
using supplies from the Eyelet Outlet will help you design amazing cards!


Bedazzle your Bell Brad with a little bit of Bling Strips.
I love how each package has silver and gold bells.


Then, alternate striped ribbons with pearl bling strips
to create a festive background.  Bring out the Holly Brads to accent any holiday sentiment!

But, if you are a snow bunny, check out these fun brads....


Using Saying Bubble Brads-Holiday means no messy ink to smudge your project.


Add bits of bling and pearls to simulate falling snow.  But this Snowman Brad sure loves being surrounded by Snowflake Brads of various sizes.

I hope as you craft through the winter months, you have a safe and pleasant winter season!!

Design Team Wednesday with Shemaine

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! Shemaine here today sharing more holiday card inspiration. We have so many fun holiday brads available at eyeletoutlet.com. I have a few faves I love to use for creating my Christmas cards. Today I wanted to share them with you.

First is this quick and easy card I made using our Poinsettia brads.

EE Supplies: 
Poinsettia brads
  sparkle enamel dots
     clear bling

I stamped the Adornment image from Penny Black and then decorated it with ribbon, brads and bling.
Then I finished it off with a My Favorite Things sentiment.

for my next card I decided to wrap it up like a gift.


EE Supplies: 
Snowflake brads
red sparkle enamel dots
Green glitter tape

I stamped the kraft paper with a trio of mixed snowflakes and then added some matching brads and accented with enamel dots. Then I used the glitter tape to create a "brown paper packeges tied up with string" look. I finished it off with a fun tag.

Both of these cards were created in under 15 mins! 

Share with us what you are making with Eyelet Outlet products on our Facebook page!

Have a great day!

With clean lines and very few baubles to show case?

Luckily, this is not a competition.
Both of these Christmas styles is valid, loved, enjoyed, and special.
And...the Eyelet Outlet can keep you in embellishments for both of these styles as well!

Layout inspiration with washi tape and bling

Happy November Eyelet Outlet fans!! Can you believe the holiday season is upon us. This week I'm sharing some ideas for dressing up the holiday papers for your pages.


  believe_christmas_layout 


 This was a beautiful paper out of a holiday pack I've had for awhile. I struggled with how to use it because I didn't want to cut it up, so I used my washi tape, bling, and jewels to add texture and dress 
it up.

 Be sure to check out the other designer's posts for card inspiration. 

 Happy crafting!

Design Team Thursday with Susie

Welcome Eyelet Outlet Fans!
Susie here with two new Christmas projects for you.


My first offering today is a dimensional Christmas card.  There are three white layers with dimensional tape between each.  I added our Holly Brads to the top corners and then I decided one of our Holiday Tree Brads would be really cute in this snowy scene too.  I added some of our Pearl Bling to the trees and some around the top layer as well.


Next up is a small 4.5 x 4 gift card.  I thought this would be lovely on a shimmery green package.  I stamped and colored my wreath and then added our Pearl Bling for the berries.  That's it for now, but be sure to stay tuned here at the blog. We will be back with more inspiration in just a few days!
If you have a chance, 
I would love for you to visit me at The Dies Have It.
