Ring Around the Rosettes

This week's creation is different than anything I've made in the past. I wanted to make some cards, but I wanted them to be different. It just so happened that I got some extra fabric from a friend yesterday and decided to incorporate the different fabrics into my cards while using Eyelet Outlet’s embellishments to enhance them. 

I created six different rosettes out of the different fabrics and added matching bling or matching brads to the center of each rosette. From there, I was able to go in any direction I wanted as far on how to use the rosettes.

I started with the cards…one card is based around the Colored Daisy brads with a sunny yellow daisy in the middle of the rosette, a pink daisy around the sentiment, Gold Glitter Washi tape and two Yellow Stippled Jewel Brads in the corners. 

The second card is a basic black and white card that is embellished with many Black Stippled Jewel Blings, some corners off of the Black Swirl Bling and a large Black faceted Jewel Bling in the center of the rosette. 

The third card I created is a fun, everyday card with the rosette being made from fabric that had a farm theme.  

I had to add the bright red Truck Brad to the middle. They just looked like they were made to go together. Eyelet Outlet has some many cute choices, you will find something that will match whatever theme you are going for. 

On the outside of the card are several Black Stippled Jewel Bling as well as Black and Orange Bling. These cards are just so cute and so fun, and I cannot wait to send them to a friend.

With the other rosettes I made, I turned them into hair barrettes by gluing a basic hair clip to the back of each rosette. 

I do not know which one is my favorite between the Tropical Bird rosette ...

or the vintage country style fabric with the Jeans and T-shirt Brad. 

They are both adorable and would look beyond cute in any little girl's hair. 

Eyelet Outlets embellishments always jazz up your creations but as you can see here, they can also be the center of your creations without being overstated. LOVE.

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!

A Little Pickup

This week's card entitled "A Little Pickup" is a fast and easy masculine get-well card.  Yes, indeed, it's fast and easy!  What makes it so fast.....did you know that Eyelet Outlet carries their own stamp sets?  Yes, and pair that with a Red Truck Brad and paper of choice, you'll have a card in no time.

1.  Select two or three coordinating papers of choice appropriate for a masculine card.  (My first strip is 1/4", the plaid is 2", the second dark strip is 1/8", the light green solid is 2 3/8" and the final dark strip is 1/4"; these measurements are dependent upon the size card used.) Cut paper and adhere to card.

2.  Using the Eyelet Outlet Truck Stamp Set, stamp the little pickup sentiment on the card as shown.

3.  Create a double or triple mat (as desired) and pop up an Eyelet Outlet Red Truck Brad on the mat.  Adhere the mat to the card below the sentiment.  Add an Eyelet Outlet Jewel Bling on each side of the truck if desired.

Final Step:  use a stamp of choice or hand print 'get well soon' in the lower portion of the card.

The card is complete and ready for your hand-written and/or stamped message on the inside.  The recipient will not only have a laugh, but also appreciate the work you've done to show you're thinking of them during a challenging time.

Today's shadow box card entitled "3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR" captures some of those feelings with Eyelet Outlet's classic cars and red truck perched on a hill watching the fireworks emphasized with bling strips.  The fence features Eyelet Outlet's ladybug, ant, and bright flowers while the Eyelet Outlet silver glitter enamel dots are a finishing touch adorning the happy new year sign at the top of the card.
