Barbie's Hat & Shoe Boutiques

 This Christmas gift for my granddaughter has been one of my favorite projects in recent months! I hope she has as much fun playing with it as I've had making it for her.  

I created several felt hats for her Barbie dolls. I was inspired by a similar project I found on YouTube and created the pattern in Cricut Design Space. I cut the felt with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade. The fun really started once the hat was assembled because there is literally no end to the possibilities of embellishing these little cuties!  

Here are a few of them that I embellished with Eyelet Outlet products.

For this one I used a little green organza ribbon and an Eyelet Outlet Stitched Flower.brad.

This red hat became quite fancy when I added Eyelet Outlet Fancy Long Bling in Clear and Pearl.

The black Pearl Bling Strips were a wonderful complement to the little tulle and pearl embellishment that I had in my stash. 

This small blue and silver pearl brad was the perfect center for my felt flower.

I used my Cricut to create a gift box for the hats that also serves as a play prop.

And since I was also gifting a package of Barbie shoes, why not make a box for them as well!

The Eyelet Outlet Shoe & Purse brads were perfect in the window of my Boutique Box!

If you are a Cricut crafter and are interested in creating this project for a little one in your life, stop by my profile in Cricut Design Space for the full file for hat and boxes as well as complete instructions. 

NOTE:  Eyelet Outlet brads are not recommended for children younger than 8 years old.

 

Fall Days Scrapbook Page

We share a lot of cardmaking projects here at Eyelet Outlet, but don't forget that our products are fabulous embellishments for scrapbooking!

I created this page in Cricut Design Space. I used felt and burlap to create the scarecrow and embellished his hat with a stitched flower brad.  

For the title I added a few of our popular leaf brads in fall colors as well as a scarecrow brad. No fall page would be complete without a few of our wonderful pumpkin brads.

Now I just need to add this year's fall photo of the grandkids!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Gnome Me., Love Me

 

We like Gnomes at Eyelet Outlet. We have lots of brads and 

washi tape for them. This image is from Garden Gnomes Digital stamps

 and was colored with Copic Markers

I used two strips of washi at the botton and added two cute

gnome brads from Eyelet Outlet. The package comes in several color.

 In his little basket are several stitched flower and leaf brads.

Finally I added some blue bumpy dots from
Eyelet Outlet to finish this card up.
I really do like gnomes and have a large garden with about
50 houses for the gnomes to live. Peter Rabbit lives there
also with a very extensive garden.

See you next Monday as we get into some holiday cards.

Best of the Bunch

 

Today I colored a floral card from All and Create. It has different inserts that you can add for the different seasons and makes it very versatile to use with a variety of Eyelet Outlet embellishments.

For this card I decided to use fall colored flowers and I added some additional reed stems that I drew in myself. I included screw brads for the wheels of the cart. The fall flower brads come in a variety of colors so I selected one of each color.

To finish the card I used the thin strips of glitter washi with black matte enamel dots on top.

Easter Card

Today I have an Easter card for you that I designed in Cricut Design Space.  I found a cross image that was similar in shape to the Eyelet Outlet cross brad and used it to create a shadow layer behind my cross brad.  

Eyelet Outlet has several different floral brads and it was hard to decide which ones to use here, but settled on the pink daisy brads and a few mini stitched flowers. I embossed the navy layer of the card with a floral embossing folder for a little more texture.  

Be sure to check out all the great spring and Easter products we have at Eyelet Outlet.  We've got rabbits, chicks, Easter eggs, and more!  

Happy Turkey Day!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US, so this seems like the perfect time for a card that sums up the holiday, in Eyelet Outlet Brad style. Chunky diecut letters make a nice home for a combination of Pumpkin Brads, a handsome Scarecrow, a Rake, lots of Mini Leaves, and Fall Stitched Flowers with their Mini Stitched Flower friends. 

Wishing the happiest of holidays to all those who are celebrating! Meanwhile, should you need a little retail therapy over this wonderful weekend for shopping, the Eyelet Outlet Online Store is open 24/7!
