Bargello Technique

There are many techniques that you may use in you paper crafting projects.

One is called Bargello.  Traditionally, you cut patterned papers in to strips. Adhere the strips to a piece of paper. Turn the paper 180 degrees, and then cut more strips. These new strips, cut against the grain of the original strips, are adhered to paper again, but in a slightly different position.

Here I used washi tape, instead of the traditional strips.  It makes the first step cleaner and easier!

If you know Eyelet Outlet, you know we have a great selection of washi tape.

What other techniques do you use in your paper crafting?

Supplies: 

Washi Tape

Glitter Enamel Dots

 

Hope you are safe and warm in this winter weather!

Lauren's Holiday Favorites!

I (Lauren) am excited to look back on several years' worth of Eyelet Outlet holiday cards and choose a few to show off today!

This Peaceful Winter card from last December shows off all my favorite winter animal brads as holiday ornaments: sweet Polar Bears, handsome Moose and adorable Penguins; as well as Pine Tree Brads, Snowflakes and Jewel Bling Strip ornament hangers.

This coffee-centic card, Fa-La-La-La Latte, is from November 2019, and features our Holiday Coffee Cups, Holly Brads and Poinsettia Washi; all of which I still adore!

This fun mini gift bag was part of our multi-designer 2017 Christmas in July Wrap-Up post, and it's a favorite because of how FAST and flexible the design is: I added a Men's Hat Brad and some Pearl Bling buttons to a stamped snowman, a Candy Cane Brad to Solid Color Paper Flowers and an eclectic mix of Washi Tapes (including Wide Tree Washi, Merry Christmas Tape, Music Note Tape, Skinny Solid Tape, Skinny Hearts Washi) which I selected almost randomly. Such a fun way to add personal style to an inexpensive gift bag!

Sunny Days!

Fall is filled with sunshine and and the colors of nature and change.

I created a sunflower using Eyelet Outlet's Paper Flowers.

Bling and Enamel Dots create the center focal point.

The wide washi tape is flanked by strips of thin washi...and the green ties in the composistion.

A Butterfly brad also helps to carry the theme.

What are your favorite fall themes?

I'd love to hear!

Wonderful Idea for Washi Tape!!

Check out this fun idea on how to use Washi Tape on your greeting cards.

Start with a simple card base...and add your washi.

I used a metal ruler to "cut" the edges cleanly when the washi was already laid on the card base.

Then, I added fun stickers for the image and sentiment.

But you know that background is the highlight of the card!

Head on over to Eyelet Outlet and fill up that cart with your own choice of tapes!!

We also have subcategories:

Glitter

Foil (My FAVORTE)

Christmas

Easter

and

Valentine

Feel free to mix and match the styles, widths and textures!

We LAVA Dinos!

If you have a dino lover, these Dinosaur brads from Eyelet Outlet will make them roar with delight!

I cut off one of the palm trunks to create a fern brad.

Washi tape is great for backdrop pans or die cut them out for accent pieces.

Supplies:

Dinosaur Brads

Palm Tree Brads

Orange washi tape

Sun & Cloud Brads

From Cupid at Sunnyside Up!

 

Wonderful Washi!

All that background...

is made from WASHI TAPE!

Foil, Glitter, Thin and everything in between!

(Be sure to check out all our styles...we have a category just for Christmas Washi!)

Add a few stickers and die cut stamped images with your sentiment.

Your card is nice and flat and MAILABLE (without extra postage)...woot! woot!

You can get great interest by how you layout the colors and patterns of the tape.

Stripes or diagonals...or cut out for the ground or even stars in the sky!

Don't your love how the blue glitter washi makes a great hill for these furry fellows?

 

Thanks for skating by!

Use your favorite washi tape...to create the tie!
