Note To Self!

As the Autumn season begins, I want to focus on thankfulness.

I love combining like-colored washi tapes and that was my inspiration for this card. I created my background using the typewriter washi, be thankful washi, and sparkle light brown glitter washi. I added my "note to self" stamp in a row as well. Lastly, I created my centerpiece by stamping and coloring the easel, then adding my "be thankful" message along with the cute brads from the hand and typewriter collection.

I hope you enjoy! This would be a delightful card to send to anyone you are thankful for! And I am thankful for you! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year - Part 2

The Studious Owl Note Pad holder is the perfect gift for your favorite teachers. 

Her entire body is made from layering the Brown Glitter Washi Tape which gives her a perfect amount of owl sparkle. Her pupils are two black Bumpy Bling jewels and the jewel on her tassel is a Silver Edged Stippled Brad. 

To make sure she can read every word in her Explore book from the Bicycle Brads, she is wearing her ever-so-fashionable reading glasses from the Eyeglasses Brads.

Lift up her head and you will find a special pocket that fits note pads or sticky notes. Oh, and if you need a ruler, this owl has you covered!  The inside is trimmed with the Tape Measure Washi Tape.  HOW CUTE IS THAT?!?!

Our last but definitely not least piece is for that very special bus driver. 

 Unfortunately, they sometimes bus drivers get overlooked so we need to try to always recognize what they do and how we appreciate them.  Imagine their face as your little hands them this card shaped like their school bus!

The two children on the bus are so excited to get to school because the bus driver makes it a fun ride.  The two Bumpy Bling headlights are leading them safely to school.

 I loved making this Back to School/Teacher Gift collection as it reminded me of when my babies were still in school and all the fun we had!

 I hope these inspired you to create something special for the teacher and bus driver in your life.  There’s nothing better than bringing a smile to someone’s face and with a little help from Eyelet Outlet, you can do just that. 😊

For the Record...

We want to wish you a Happy Birthday!!

 When I saw the adorable vinyl record brads, I knew I want to do a fun, girly, vintage inspired birthday tag! I loved playing on the pinks and golds with adding the sparkly light brown glitter washi tape and pearl bling jewel stickers. I added an array of ribbon and think this would be a fun tag to add to a birthday present for a sweet girlfriend!

Hello Fall!

 Hi friends!  Are you a TEAM HEATWAVE or TEAM SWEATER WEATHER?  While I love summer, I have to admit that I love autumn!   I am so excited for the weather to turn cool enough that I can pull out my sweaters and shawls. 

I thought this would be the perfect time to say "hello" to fall!  My card has a ton of layers made up of patterned papers, a dry embossed panel, and some lace.  I wrapped some cardstock with the Sparkle Brown Glitter Washi Tape (which I absolutely LOVE) and I die-cut the letter "a" from the washi panel.  I die-cut the rest of the letters from patterned paper and I distressed the edges of everything with ink. 

I heat-embossed the hello on a piece of coordinating paper, trimmed it down and set it aside.  I added the Leaf Brads to the embossed panel and popped it up with foam squares.   I created a loopy bow with some ribbon and linen thread, and I used the Sunflower Brads to create a button.  I used wire snips to remove the legs of the brad and I used my hot glue gun to add it to the center of the bow.  To complete my card, I adhered all of my elements to the card front.

I hope this inspired you to get crafty and maybe use your supplies in a different way!  Please make sure to leave me a comment to let me know if you are a fan of summer or fall!

A Fish Story

Hello! It's Kim from Katydid Cards.

Another clear stamp set by Eyelet Outlet, Fish, was used to make this "Fin-tastic News" card.   I combined the greeting, fishbowl and fish images from the set with the Fish and Sandcastle Brads, Blue Pearl Bling.  Also used were the Brown Glitter and Halloween Dot Washi Tapes.

I stamped the fishbowl image twice on 3" circles of watercolor paper.  On one, I cut the center out just inside the outermost line.  I attached that with mounting tape to the second image, colored with Copic markers.  The sandcastle brad was just perfect for inside the bowl.  I also stamped a mirror image of the fish so she could be looking up at her buddy.  Speaking of her buddy, he's a fish brad who's just so happy he can't "contain himself".

I made a water trail using the multi-sized pearl bling.  Pearls were also added across the center on the Halloween dot washi tape...the dots gave me a placement guide for the pearls and were a perfect size.  I attached that over the brown glitter washi which separates the two patterned papers from an old Gina K kit.

You can't really see it from the picture, but as a finishing touch, I coated the inner fishbowl with clear Wink of Stella to give it some shimmer.

If you like the cutout effect on this card, you might also enjoy this one I made a while back.
