Vintage ChristmasI

I just loved this vintage sled when I saw it!  Without discussing my age -- I had one just like it as a child!

The vintage photo is one I found on line, but it reminds me of old family photos of my brothers and cousins ice skating on the pond at my grandparent's farm long, long ago.  This card was the perfect chance to embellish with a pair of Eyelet Outlet ice skate brads.  I added a little twine near the top to make it seem that they were hanging on the sled.  I also added a holly brad to the sled and a few lovely snowflake brads.  

Wishing you all a happy and safe Christmas from all of us at Eyelet Outlet.

 

Sending Love

The holidays may be over, but winter is still around for a few more months, so I'm not quite finished with snowmen!  I really do love snowmen and I have no idea why it never occurred to me before now to put a pair of Eyelet Outlet skates on one of them!  I've also added a hat brad to this cute little guy.

I've got a few thank-you notes to send for some lovely Christmas presents I received, so I think this will make a sweet one since my snowman is carrying a heart brad, too.  And of course, this would also make an adorable Valentine card.

Thanks for stopping in today!  

 

Design Team Wednesday with Dawn

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans!

The Fall Holidays are soon upon us. 

Be sure to gear up with sweet treat holders

embellished with the darling products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads!

I used a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe for this

Candy Corn Treat container.  The sentiment comes from Joy's Life: Tastes Punny set.

I used Candy Corn Brads to accent the sentiment.

A bit of raffia adds texture and the feeling of fall, don't you think!

These diminutive brads are great for attaching handles with a bit of flare!

Use Bling Strips to embellish the front...

or back!  I love how they are all lined up.

Squint a bit...do you see the skull face out of "Boo" from Joy's Life:  Halloween Puns

and the die cut shape and bling strips?

And...right after the falling leaves, we'll be looking for the first sign of falling SNOW!

Gasp!  I know, I know!  It's too soon. 

But, a pair of Ice Skate Brads mixed in with Pearl brads...

And add a bit of Bling Strips...

We'll all want to enjoy the winter festivities in style!

This card measures 3.75 inches across. So, even though the felt snowflakes

are drifting off the card, it will still fit into a standard invitation envie. 

Very clever!!

Thanks for dashing in...
