Hello EO fans! Today I'm here with a fun masculine card. I've used many different washi tapes on this card. It all works together to create a happy birthday tool man theme.
I've also added tool brads to this card. I think the wrench and hammer is perfect for this man. These are from the Tools brad set. The hand saw is from the Saw brad set. Green, orange and white pearls add just a little bit of bling. This may be a man's card but I still think the pearls add the right touch.
This card is for my husband who it a real tool man. I think he's going to get a kick out of it. I just love that no matter the theme, EO always has just the right washi tape and brads.
Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun gift card holder featuring our Light Pink Paper Flowers, Clear Jewel Bling Strips and a Silver Edge Clear Jewel Brad. I created this one for a graduation but the sky is the limit with regard to occasions and color schemes! I've had this cut file in my arsenal for many years and have made quite a few of these. This one is a little different in that I added pockets to the inside - one pocket holds a little graduation card and the other will hold a gift card.
I cut the base from a dotted ink-resist paper and inked it with light pink distress ink and then a slightly darker pink ink to darken it up just a bit. I cut the coin purse frames with clasps from pink cardstock and adhered them to the base. I adhered a Light Pink Paper Flower with a Silver Edge Clear Jewel Brad to the center front, and then added Clear Jewel Bling Strip around the front edge of the coin purse frame. I stamped a sentiment in pink ink, trimmed it and adhered it beneath the flower.
I've heard it said that North American Cardinals mate for life, so our lovely and popular cardinal brads seemed a perfect choice for the anniversary card I made recently.
In addition to using both the male and female cardinal brads, I used some of our gorgeous wide washi tape for the background. This one is called Flowers Vintage. I also embellished the card with some pearl swirl bling.
Enjoy the day and happy crafting!
I (Lauren) can never resist a pun, but for some reason they're even more appealing for Valentine's Day. If one happens to have Eyelet Outlet Frog Brads and/or Rabbit Brads, any greeting which would ordinarily read, "Happy" can now be, "Hoppy"! If one also has the amazing super-wide Sky Washi, an instant landscape can easily occur!
All the cold temps and the snow inspired my card today. The background of the forest is made with Glitter Winter Washi Tape. I love the subtle pattern of trees in the tape. I used two rows of Sparkle White Glitter Tape to represent the snow. Two strips of Fancy Long Bling-Pearls & Jewels in clear adds a bit more sparkle. I used a pair of Moose Brads in the scene. The Cardinal Brad is the perfect pop of color in this neutral scene.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I inspired you to do a little winter cardmaking. Have a great week!
Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a July 4th fun fold! You know it and I know it... July 4th will be here in the blink of an eye! I'm a certified fun fold geek and have a couple file folder pockets (each about 4" thick) full of tutorials that I've collected or created myself over the years. Today's zig-zag fold is one of my own designs that I went one step further on and die cut two round apertures to see the fireworks through, which I thought was a fun touch!
Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty Fall card! This card features our Pumpkin Brads, Leaf Brads and Orange Pearl Bling! I got some new double-sided patterned paper packs that I've been itching to use, plus, if you know me very well, then you know that I typically don't stick to seasonal crafting... I'm all over the place and create whatever pops into my head! It's Winter, so what's wrong with a Fall card, I ask?! ;)
I cut a side-folding mini slim card base from ivory cardstock along with layering panels from orange cardstock and patterned paper. I used a corner punch on the two layering panels and adhered them together. I cut wide embellishing strips from the ivory and orange cardstock, layered them together and adhered them horizontally across the front of the card, and adhered the panel to the card front. I die cut a circular element for the front on which I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, added Pumpkin Brads and Leaf Brads, and adhered it to the card front. To finish it off, I added some Orange Pearl Bling.
I can't take credit for being the first Eyelet Outlet designer to use our enamel dots as gum balls, because a few years ago the talented Lauren created an awesome card that I adored! You can see Lauren's card here. You know what they say, Lauren. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so here's my version.
I've been working on Valentine's Day cards lately and I couldn't wait to bring out the sloths from the Sloth and Koala brad set for this card. The koalas are perfectly sized for the small branches I have in my stamp and die stash. In this case, I decided to use dies for the branches and leaves. Pastel Leaf brads and pink and red Heart Enamels were also used as embellishments. The sky background was created by using two pieces of Sky Washi tape on a small piece of cardstock. I placed it under the scalloped window so that the seam is mostly behind the lower branch. It disguises it very well. Although not much is seen of the cute pattern, I used a border of Sloth Washi tape on the card edges. It gives a nice black border to the bright green paper and I like that there are little flowers peaking out as well. You can get all of these items and more at the EO store.
It's time to get it in GEAR, crafters and start your Valentine projects. I had so much fun creating this robot treat box for the little ones in my life who I "like a BOT!"
I (Lauren) have to confess that, in real life, I'm not overly fond of snow and ice; but... I am a huge fan of Eyelet Outlet Polar Bear Brads, for whom snow and ice are the ideal habitat, so I've tried to recreate it in card form. See?
