The second card has an elf and reindeer that are busily wrapping presents. 

When the tab is pulled, the elf pops out.

Holiday Gnome Baker

Hello EO friends! I hope those of you in the U.S. enjoyed your long Thanksgiving weekend with family or friends. My family had a quiet day. There were only three of us but we cooked a good homemade meal with turkey and all the fixings. It was a very good day for the Axtman family!

 I've started on my Christmas cards and this cute little Baking Gnome card is a nice start. This gnome is holding a Gingerbread Brad and a spoon from the Baking Brads set. A red Heart Pearl decorates his bowl and a holly spray from the Holiday Bling pack. The background of the card is Glitter Silver Washi Tape. Finally I added three of the larger white pearls to the tag from the Pearl Bling Multi-Pack.

All of us on the Design Team laugh about this, but we are always looking for dies and other products that would be perfect with EO brads and bling. This gnome is a great example. When I saw it, I knew it would work great with the gingerbread and baking brads. This die cut is from CottageCutz and it's called Holiday Gnome Baker. 

I hope you enjoyed my card and I thank you for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

It's a family tradition...

 Do you have family Christmas traditions?

With Christmas only days away, it is time to start our Christmas goodie baking! We love baking together and making memories as a family! I thought this 6x6 card would be a cute "invite" to come bake Christmas cookies! I started with the adorable gingerbread cookie image and colored her in using alcohol markers. I added the matte red enamel dot for her holly berry and green glitter enamel dots to her dress for additional sparkle! I created a banner for the bottom using the black glitter washi to border my "cookies" sentiment. Lastly I embellished with the adorable gingerbread brads!

I hope you have time this holiday season to make memories that will last a lifetime!

Gingerbread Bakery

 

It's getting pretty close to Christmas and this is when I start creating cards I need for last minute gifts and people I haven't yet gotten to. This card took less than 15 minutes to make which is really fast for me. With a good layout and various premade or quick elements, you can create something that looks like it took a lot longer to make.

To start this one, I created a kraft card base and scored the front on each side to help fill in the space and give the card base a design. Then I placed strips of foiled Christmas Stripe Washi Tape in the middle to add a quick background. I have some large cardstock stickers and I chose this one to place at the bottom of the card. You can use any premade element you might have for this. Then I added Gingerbread, Snowflake and Canister Brads to tie the embellishments to the sticker. 

Just like that, I was able to create a great card in about 15 minutes. Perfect for the holiday crunch time!

Let's Bake

 

Nothing is more fun than baking at the holidays. My neighbor makes
fabulous cookies for everyone on the block and the basket they
come in is all decorated. She has a little red wagon she delievers them
in and I can assure you we get so excited when we see the wagon coming.

So, I got busy with a baking card using the wonderful stamp set that Eyelet Outlet 
sells called the Cooking Stamp Set. I colored the stove with Copic Markers
then left room on the sides to add the super adorable girl and boy
gingermen. Plus Eyelet Outlet has other adorable brads I added such as the 
baking pan and spoon.

The card could also be easily into a tag to attach to a "sweet"
gift during the holidays.

A Visit with a Gingerbread Couple

Eyelet Outlet Gingerbread Brads are about as cute as it gets already, but... they're even more adorable in front of a Gingerbread Cottage, with a Gingerbread Washi sky, and "landscaping" made of Candy Cane and Peppermint Candy Brads. The cottage is trimmed out with Sparkle White Glitter Tape icicles and a Heart Enamel with a sentiment from Foil Red Stripe Washi.

There are lots more holiday brads, tapes and bling available in the Eyelet Outlet Store!

Pretty paper... pretty ribbons... pretty Christmas tags!!

 Do you enjoy Christmas gift wrapping, ribbons, tags, and all the pretty things?? I do! 

Wrapping Christmas presents is one of my favorite things to do! So, I am hoping that having a few Christmas tags ready to go will make it even more fun! I enjoyed creating a variety of tags and even created a "bookmark" style one for any book lovers on your gift giving list!

These 2 tags highlight the adorable brads from the new Christmas set called, Santa Deer Brads! I even added a few pearl brown jewels and black glitter washi! So fun!

On these 2 Christmas tags, I focused on the adorable little red truck brads! I added the black glitter washi as my "road" and filled the truck bed with a Christmas tree and presents! I think this little truck is absolutely adorable! 

Lastly, I created a fun gingerbread theme gift tag and a snowflake bookmark that could also be used as a gift tag! I love the versatility of the crafting products by Eyelet Outlet! See my shopping list below! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tag-a-Palooza!

Sometimes when I (Lauren) start making tags, I find it hard to stop! Especially when I've got my entire stash of Eyelet Outlet holiday brads and tapes to choose from. In this case, I planned to make tags featuring all the new EO Brads: Santa and Deer, Gnomes 2, Trees- Snowy and Carolers... but then I just kept going! Luckily I managed to fit them all on a book ring from the office supply store.

I used Sunny Studio's Build a Tag #2 die set to create tags, toppers and reinforcements cut from cardstock covered with my favorite EO holiday tapes, such as Poinsettia Tape, Santa Tape, Twig Tape, Santa- Green Washi, Garland Tape, Tree Tape, Cardinal Washi, Skinny Vertical Tree Tape, Gingerbread Washi, Red Santa and Winter Characters Tape; with accents of Wood Tape, Brick Tape, Music Note Tape, Green Damask Washi, and of course I couldn't resist breaking out a bunch of Glitter Tapes (we have over two dozen styles... and counting!)

After all my tape tags were created, I used circle punches of several sizes to make a little home for the brads on each tag. I used: Cardinal and Female Cardinals, Gift Brads, Snowy Trees and Snowflakes, Santa and Deer Brads, a Sleigh, Wreath and Poinsettia Brads, Holly, the Gnew Gnomes, a Gingerbread Couple, Candy Cane, Caroler Brads, and a Snowman on a Sled.

If you'd like to see ALL of these lovely Eyelet Outlet goodies (and lots more!) in person, check out our Trade Show Schedule to see if the EO Booth will be coming to your town!

Mini Christmas Explosion Box, Oh My!

Hi everybody! Leslie here sharing a super fun and easy mini explosion box with you today! Are you done with your Christmas crafting or are you still feverishly creating fun stuff?! Christmas is my favorite holiday so you'll find me in my studio creating fun Christmas cards and projects all year long! I love to create all kinds of 3-D projects, especially explosion boxes with three or four layers inside to embellish, but when I saw this mini, I just HAD to make one because it's the perfect size to decorate inside with our brads! Although I used my electronic die cutting machine, this could very easily be hand-cut and scored at 2" intervals. 

I cut the explosion box base from metallic green cardstock, the inside panels from Christmas patterned cardstock, and the outside panels from two other Christmas cardstock patterns. I kept the embellishing very simple and used one Candy Cane Brad, one Gingerbread Brad, a Santa from the Santa & Mrs. Claus Brads, and one Snowman Brad to decorate the inside panels. I stamped the sentiment in red ink on the center panel cut from white cardstock, and finished the box with a tiny bow fashioned from green and white dotted ribbon.

Easy Holiday Scene Making

Hello everyone! Today's card is a fun see-through card that uses a transparency sheet to connect the front of the card to the back of it. Two die cuts placed at the top and bottom are glued to the outside of the transparency. This allows you to see to the back of card. It's a cool effect.

Several Eyelet Outlet products were used to embellish the two glitter die cuts. I love the Christmas vibe mixed with a bit of nature in the form of the tree and deer brads.

These little Gingerbread brads are just the cutest! They are one of my favorite holiday brads from the store. The Snowflake Bling and the Snowflake Brads are so beautiful. They enhance any holiday card you might be working on.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you get to do some Christmas crafting this season. Don't forget that EO products can enhance your projects with ease! See you next week!

Welcome to Santa's Town House

Hi everyone! Janet here to share a happy scene for Christmas. EO brads and embellishments often are sized perfectly to put into stamped scenes. I stamped and water colored this cheery house and I decided to fill it with several EO holiday brads.

Starting at the top, I've placed a wreath because every home should have one during the holidays! Mr and Mrs. Clause are in the windows and Mrs. Clause is wishing all a Merry Christmas. The tree is in the upstairs window and Santa waves hello in the bottom window. Two Snow People Brads welcome everyone at the door. Open the door and you'll see Santa's magical helper!

For snow, I've used a torn piece of White Sparkle Washi Tape. The snowflakes are Snowflake Bling set in all white.

Christmas in July

Let's beat the summer heat today by thinking about Christmas!  I broke out my Eyelet Outlet holiday brads to create this sweet gingerbread card.

For this card I chose one of the many sliders in the Cricut image library. These look great with ribbon running through the cut outs, but today I wanted to use the Eyelet Outlet red and white dot washi tape, so I applied the washi to a strip of card stock to serve as my ribbon.  

I chose one of the houses from the Gingerbread House Cookies image set and using the offset feature created a shadow layer for the house, then I flattened both layers together and made the house a print then cut image. The fun really kicked in when I began embellishing the house and slider with Eyelet Outlet gingerbread girl brad, holiday tree, sticky backed pearl heart, and a snowflake brad.

Hope all of our Eyelet Outlet fans are keeping cool in the heat wave and have a happy Fourth of July weekend!

A Very Merry Message

 

Today's card contains a very merry message!

Make Gingerbread Memories!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun Christmas card with a traditional gingerbread house theme featuring some of the newest brads in the store! These are so stinkin' cute I can't stand it!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from ivory cardstock along with red cardstock and kraft cardstock layers that I adhered together. I printed a digital gingerbread house image on ivory cardstock, cut it in half and trimmed it. I adhered the image to the layered background piece, added four Gingerbread Brads, and adhered the panel to the card base. I finished the front by adding several Ivory Enamel Dots and a stamped sentiment. Here's a close-up of those gingerbread couples holding hands! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

A Trio of Couples

Nothing's cuter than a happy couple, especially if we're talking about a COUPLE of Eyelet Outlet Brads, dressed up for the holidays; like Santa and Mrs. Claus, Mr. and Mrs. G. Bread, or our sweet Snow Couple!

The other day I came across a set of tiny shaped tag dies I bought in January and realized I had not yet used them?! My first thought was that ATC's would be the perfect size, and that I should start with the Snow Couple. A background of blue paper with polka dots seemed like a tiny snowscape and I love this woodgrain cardstock for extra texture. I added a strip of Pink Checked Tape and solid pink Skinny Tape to represent the strong vertical line of the sketch.

Santa and Mrs. Claus are probably the most famous Christmas couple, and the heart of the North Pole. I rotated the sketch and added Heart Washi and Red Stripe Foil Tape this time.

The Gingerbread Brads are the newest in the EO line-up, but they're very sweet... in every sense! This time I flipped the sketch and paired them with Poinsettia Tape and Skinny Striped Washi.

ATC's are always fun to make and swap; OR you can build them into the focal point of a bigger tag or card. And there's definitely an Eyelet Outlet Brad to suit every taste!
