Presents from Santa!

Santa's bag is brimming with goodies and they're spilling out for you to enjoy! This little variation of a buckle card is created in Cricut Design Space and the buckle portion of the card is held in place when the card is closed by a little circle embellished with an Eyelet Outlet Candy Cane brad.  

Spilling out of Santa's bag I used one of the gingerbread kids, a nutcracker brad, a sweet little sock monkey brad and a gift brad. 

Here's what the card looks like when it's opened.

Thanks for stopping in today!

Is there anything more festive than Birthday Sock Monkeys? I (Lauren) kind of doubt it, especially when they're Eyelet Outlet Birthday Sock Monkey Brads AND they're on sale! I've paired mine with some colorful Happy Birthday Washi Tape, Pastel Balloon Brads (also on sale!) and Heart Enamels.

If Sock Monkeys are not your idea of birthday joy, there are plenty of other styles of brads, tape, flowers, bling and enamels at Eyelet Outlet!

Let's Have a Tea Party!

Good Thursday, crafters!  I recently re-discovered the beautiful retro graphics of Velma and Kathryn Balint of KB and Friends having first purchased from them many years ago.  I've gone completely wild over their adorable collection of boxes. Many of them pair so perfectly with Eyelet Outlet products, so you'll be seeing more of this type of card from me in coming weeks!  ;)

Today I'm having a Tea Party!  Inside the little retro tea set box you'll see a tea pot and cup from Eyelet Outlet Tea Cup Set as well as a spoon brad from the popular silverware set.  

On the table you'll see another of the tea pots in the set and seated at the table all ready for tea are the precious Teddy Bear brad along with his friend the Sock Monkey brad.

Thanks for joining me for tea today! See you next Thursday!

 

Grab It Quick!

I have often been captivated by the people who use those "claw-grasping" machines to try to win a prize. I've never tried it myself, but I can't seem to pull my eyes away when someone else is playing... wondering if they will be able to maintain control of the prize or if it will slip from their grasp. Some of the prizes can be quite adorable - I always celebrate when a child wins the toy or stuffed animal of his/her dreams.

To create this card I used a variety of Eyelet Outlet brads for the toys and stuffed animals in the machine. And look... I think the Sock Monkey is going home with someone today.

I also used a red Matte Finish Enamel Dot for the handle and added three blue Enamel Dots to the card for some more fun.

I hope you have a CLAW-Some day, even if it isn't your birthday! And I know what would make it an even more CLAW-some day... if you'd head over to Eyelet Outlet and check out the great products there.
