For Mom

Butterfly Wings
Like a butterfly emerges and unfolds its graceful wings,
A child grows and develops with the love a mother brings.
I'm thankful for the times when you encouraged me to try, 
For God gave me wings, but, Mom, you taught me how to fly.

By Robin Fogle

In creating my card I started with the butterfly washi tape and adhered it to white cardstock. I then cut in strips to create my "stripes" and layered on cardstock. I added the sentiment greeting and embellished with green jewels, butterfly brads, and a white daisy brad. 

I hope this inspires you to create a card today and show your love and appreciation this Mother's Day.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

It's in the Cards

It's Kim from Katydid Cards and today I'm sharing two cards featuring another of Eyelet Outlet's new clear stamps, Cards.  I think the Card Brads are adorable and I love working with them so I was thrilled when the corresponding stamp set was released.

My first card combines the Jack of All Trades image with not only the card brads but also the Tool and Screw Brads as well as the Chalk Board and Red Foil Washi Tapes.

I made a peek-a-boo aperture for my image and colored it with turquoise, red and black.  You could easily create this using circle punches to create the opening and the larger frame around it.

The tool digital paper was matted on a larger mat rimmed with the Red Foil washi.  I didn't originally plan on the band across the top, but it just needed something!  So I edged a strip of cardstock with the Red Foil again and topped it with the Chalkboard.  Then I added three screw brads to accent.

This card would be a perfect way to thank the Jack of All Trades in your life...especially if you're a master of none!

While the card above is masculine, this card is for any woman in your life who deserves to be Queen for a Day.   The Card brads also include Kings, so this could easily be made for holidays like Father's Day.

I also used the Playing Card Washi Tape to make the top panel and matched my cardstock to that.  I inked the image with black ink and centered it at the bottom of the circle leaving the perfect space for three Queens.

There are more great images in this set and I'm looking forward to incorporating them into my cards.  AND to see what my Eyelet Outlet DT sisters will create.

So Lucky

Hi there.  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today.

In honor of Mother's Day earlier this week, I'm sharing a card featuring Eyelet Outlet's new Horse and Tree Brads and an oldie but goodie, the Sun & Cloud Brads.  They're part of the new release coming soon to the store, so keep checking for them and all the other new brads.

To make my card, I started with a 5 1/2" square card base and then decided to cut about 3" off the.  I used a lucky horseshoe cut file from the Silhouette store, created an offset and welded it to the front of the card in the design studio.

For the horseshoe and mat, I cut watercolor paper for a great textural look.  It was colored with distress inks as they blend so beautifully.  To create the hill, I used a mask cut from scrap paper.  I cut the greeting in the mat, removed it and colored it with the same color distress ink as the horseshoe and then placed the letters back in the opening.  With the bit of scrap left, I punched the corner pieces...it's been years since I used that corner punch.

The inside of the horseshoe was the perfect spot for Momma horse and her mare under the shade of the trees.  The open area on the mat was calling for something...what better than some sunshine!  Here's a closer look at the brads.  You can also see that I embossed the back of the card with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder by Stampin' Up.

Inside a simple yet sincere sentiment for Mom.  This would be a great card to give any mom, horse lover or not.

Eyelet Outlet has a number of barnyard animal brads.  Here's a card I made with the Pig and here's another with the whole gang!

Mom-to-be Card

Another week has flown by!! Barbara here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog with a new card for your viewing. Four weeks left to the appearance of baby boy Brydges our Great Grandson and I made a Mom-to-be card for Katie for Mother's day.

I really really wanted to play with the new Yoga cat brads from  Spring 2017 and this was an opportunity to put them on a card, they look so cute on each side of the Mom to be in a yoga pose. I chose the colour of this card to match the awesome gems from the Eyelet Outlet Store, they are just gorgeous and they also come in purple.

My dad asked me to make a dozen Mother's Day cards for him to give to widows or single women he knows.

I was happy to do it...and used some Eyelet Outlet supplies to embellish them. I made these in multiples of three.

For a Wonderful Mother

Hi it's Barbara and it's my day to post on the Eyelet Outlet Blog and I have a Mother's Day card to show you. I took Stephanie's idea with washi tape and it worked beautifully.

I used the colouring book wide washi tape from the Eyelet Outlet and Brads store and covered a piece of rose cardstock, I layered it on another piece of rose and on a white base. 

Look at these gorgeous paper flowers and the pearl/silver brads I used for the centers, the flowers come in a package of 40, both flowers and centers can be found at the Eyelet Outlet & Brads.

Of course being a Mother's day card I had to use some of the Eyelet Outlet's swirly jewels which not only come in clear they also come in colours and pearls as well.

These are all the items from the Eyelet Outlet I have used 

Wide washi tape

narrow pink glitter tape

Swirly jewels

pearl / silver brads

and

Gorgeous pink paper flower 

P.S. they come in all colours too.

I couldn't believe how fast this card came together using these awesome supplies from the

 Eyelet Outlet
