Eyelet Outlet: green washi

I'm Pulling For You

Some days are an uphill battle, so send someone you love some encouragement today with a cute card using Eyelet Outlet tractor brads.

The sentiment for my card comes from the Cricut's "Just Because Cards." The hay bales that I put on my trailer are from Cricut's "County Fair" image set.

I love the Eyelet Outlet cow brads. Today our cow looks like he's definitely pulling for the tractor driver to bring her that hay bale! 😀 I've also used a couple of Eyelet Outlet tree brads on my card - the pine tree brad as well as one of the summer tree brads. Breaking up the green hillside landscape, I used a wide dotted green washi tape with a skinny washi tape in lighter green dotted pattern on top of it.

Keep on crafting, friends and be sure to stop by Eyelet Outlet and see all of our awesome products!

Sunflower Scarecrow

One of the things I like about Eyelet Outlet products is they are so versatile. They can be used in a variety of ways. For today's card I have a couple of tips to share.

First, let me show you the card:

Eyelet Outlet Products Used:

Checked Washi Tape

Green Washi Tape (similar to this one)

Sunflower Brads

Sunflower Washi Tape

Now, about my tips:

Tip #1 - The Sunflower Washi Tape is glittery, which is great, but for a scarecrow card it just seemed a bit too glitzy. My solution was to put a piece of vellum over the top of it. Then I added the Checked Washi Tape over the top of the washi to help secure everything.

Tip #2 - I wanted leaves for my sunflowers to coordinate with the leaf on the scarecrow's hat, but I didn't have any leaves. No problem. I had green Washi Tape. I folded the tape so it was "sealed" and then I hand cut two leaves.
