Have an Egg-cellent Birthday!

Happy Saturday my Eyelet Outlet friends! I started a day this past week with a breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee. It all got me to thinking that EO has brads for all those items and that I should make a card with them! I happen to have a pan stamp in my stash and it is was just the right size to add Bacon, Egg, & Toast Brads. I added a Coffee Brad and a fork from the Silverware Brads to make the breakfast complete!

For additional decoration, I created borders out of Strawberry Washi Tape and added strips of Skinny Glitter Washi Tape. Last I added a red Star Brad as an accent. I adhered the finished panel to a red A2 card base. It looks like a yummy birthday is ahead for the person getting this one!

Wine Tags

 

 I live in the South where it is a traditional to always bring a hostess
gift when invited to someone's home. This could be anything
 from a freshly backed loaf of bread, flowers or more 
commonly a bottle of wine. I have always liked to dress the bottle up 
a little more festive when gifted. Plus you can make
a batch of these tags and even give them as the hostess gift.

I started out with some manila tags from Staples
 and used stencils to help lightly color the background. for this
I used Oxide inks. I used a package of wine-related stamps
from a Tim Holtz Collection and then
 I colored the images with Copic Markers.

I love the Eyelet Outlet wine brads and used them at the hole at the top.
I added some gems at the top also from Eyelet Outlet.
Finally each tag has a different strip of the skinny glitter
washi tape added.

Here is your Eyelet Outlet Shopping List

I'll be back again next week with a new creation. In the meantime 
be sure to check the blog everyday something new.

Nutcracker Buckle Fold Card

It's never too early to start on the Christmas cards and today I have another buckle fold card for you.  I used some digital paper from Happy Heart Studio on Etsy.  The set is called "Nutcracker Magic."  

This paper paired so beautifully with the Eyelet Outlet nutcracker brads that I used on the buckle of the card.  I also added a few gift brads and gold glitter washi tape.

There are several YouTube videos demonstrating how to make buckle fold cards with punches.  I made mine with my Cricut and if you're a Cricut crafter, I've shared a template for this type of card on my Cricut profile in Cricut Design Space.  

 

You Are Gorgeous!

Today I have made a card that's perfect for a teenager or college student who enjoys being girly and needs a reminder that they are gorgeous. The card is almost entirely made of die cuts. I cut the dress out of a coordinating cardstock pad to make sure the colors and patterns wouldn't clash. I love using all these patterns together. I added a piece of Glitter Skinny Washi Tape for a wide belt and a Pearl Bling piece from the Pearl Multi-Pack to accent it. I purposely put the belt a bit lower on the waist to make the dress more curvy and less Barbie-perfect. I like the way it makes the waist and hips more full and realistic for real people sizes! Last I used a black pen to draw a necklace and a piece of Clear Tear Drop Bling to create a totally mod necklace.

I cut the scrolled piece behind the dress from silver mirror cardstock. It reminded me of a mirror but it also really allows the dress to stand out. I also cut the Gorgeous phrase 4 times and stacked them up together. Then I cut another silver mirror cardstock phrase and offset it at the back to help help the phrase stand out and add a bit more glamour. I stamped and cut out the You Are phrase and applied all the pieces on a dark navy decorative mat. After that, it was ready to take it up a level with three brad sets. I used two Rose Brads, the button and phone from the Selfie Brads, and a bag and shoe from the Shoe & Bag Brads. I think this card is a fun reminder to a teen that they really are gorgeous.

You're a CROCSTAR!

 The little shoe charms folks are wearing these days remind me of brads, so an idea for a card was born!

On this one, I used Eyelet Outlet star brads for the shoe charms and some star washi tape in the corners and a few strips of skinny glitter washi tape as well.  I added an enamel star to the swirl beneath my sentiment.  

Trust me, whatever your Croc loving friends are in to, we've got a brad for that, so the sky's the limit on this card idea!  We've got fairies, horses, donuts, cars, cats....you name it!  

On this one I used some of our lovely round jeweled brads for the charms and added some of our glitter rainbow washi tape, skinny glitter washi tape and swirl bling.  

Thanks for being here today and happy crafting!

Rosette Angel

 Good Thursday to you, crafters! I created this paper rosette angel a few years ago with my Cricut, but I've updated her a bit and also created a sharable file with instructions if you're a Cricut crafter and would like to give this project a try.  I've also seen several YoutTube videos with instructions for making Paper Angel Rosettes with paper trimmer, score board, and punches.

I think it's easy to see what makes this angel so "Heavenly!"  It's beyond a doubt the fabulous Fancy Long Zig Zag Bling! This gorgeous bling comes in 4 different colors and you're going to want some of each, I'm sure!  

For a touch more sparkle, I added a strip of skinny glitter washi tape to the portion of the rosette that makes up her halo and there's a pretty poinsettia brad on her little sign.  

This angel would look lovely on the Christmas tree or as a package topper.  If you'd like to give her a try on your Cricut machine, here's the link to my file.

Veteran's Day

 Veteran's Day is coming up on Friday, November 11th and Eyelet Outlet has just what you need to create a beautiful card for the service members in your life.  Today I've created a card featuring a few of our beautiful washi tapes, one of our eagle brads, and some small star brads.

I built a frame for my featured sentiment by adding red star and skinny blue glitter washi tapes just to the corners of some white card stock.  The sentiment is an image from the Cricut Design Space.  I modified it a bit with the hide contour function so I could add 4 mini stars and an eagle brad.

Susan wants to wish the Marchesano Family a Happy Veteran's Day.

Valentine Love Cards

Hi everyone! 2021 is soon one for the history books! I'm sure not going to miss much of it. Looking ahead, I'm excited to share my top three most favorite valentine and love cards. It's so much fun going back to look in my photo files to pull out these three for you today. It's also fun to see what the other designers have posted too. I hope you'll check them out!

Let's start with #3 and count up to #1. I'm a bee lover and I adore the Funky Bee Brads and Mini Bee Brads. I used both here along with Skinny Glitter Washi Tapes, Bee Washi Tape, Glitter Rainbow Washi Tape and Heart Shaped Enamels! So much fun color and shine!

Next up is a fun dinosaur inspired card. This one features the Tall Palm Tree Brads, Sun & Cloud Brads and of course the Dinosaur Brads! The Cloud Washi Tape is such a great background to the volcanos! Glitter Washi Tape - Green Pattern is also used as a wild green background to this one.

Drum roll please! My #1 card choice is this fun ice cream card. This one features our Ice Cream Brads and Heart Shaped Enamels. A few Pearls also accent this one. I cut the brown cardstock with the melty edge and used Glossy accents on the edge. The brown cardstock reflects through to make it look like it's melting. Simple but fun effect!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane and also got some inspiration for Valentine's Day. It'll be here before we know it!

Happy Creating Everyone!

I'm Sticking With You!

It seems like it's a lot easier to be down occasionally over this past year than it was before. I know I have experienced some down moments myself. If I become aware that someone is having a rough time, I like to send them an encouragement card with a note of support. That's what today's card does.

This is a little bit of a word play since I've used "sticky" washi tape with this sentiment. I made the embellishment piece as a print-then-cut from Cricut Design Space. I created it by combining the tape dispensor image with my own created text sentiment. More and more I am going to my computer to make the perfect sentiment for my cards. And why not? You can say anything you want whether you do it in Word, Cricut Design Space or other program.

I used a lot of very cheery washi tapes for this card. I also used two stitched flower brads on the sentiment. 

Washi Tapes Used:

People United Washi Tape

Butterfly Washi Tape

Skinny Calendar Washi Tape

Glitter Tape Rainbow

Corgi Washi Tape

Skinny Glitter Tape (6 rolls)

Brads Used:
