A Little Something To Uncork

 

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a fun wine themed gift bag created with Eyelet Outlet brads and bling.  Eyelet Outlet has so many products to create cards for many occasions.

I used a gift bag die to create the bag.  Then I added wine washi tape, wine brads, and pearl bling.  I used winter quicklet eyelets to reinforce the holes for the ribbon handles. The gold pattern tissue elevates the bag even further.

This would be a great bag for the wine connoisseur in your life.  The possibilities are endless with Eyelet Outlet products.  Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a fun project.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

I'm Grape-ful For You!

 Hello crafty friends!  As we are heading into the season of gratitude, I thought I would create a nostalgic card that not only expresses gratitude, but is a bit of fun, too! 

Growing up, we watched I Love Lucy as a family.  One of my favorite episodes is captured in the image that I used for my card.  As I colored up the image with Copics, I could visualize the episode in my head and it made me laugh.

When I first saw the Grape Brads and Wine Washi Tape, I knew that they would pair perfectly with this image, and I was not disappointed!   At the last minute, I also added a few white pearls that I separated from the Pearl Bling Strip.

Did you have a favorite show as a child?  I would love to hear what it was!   Thank you so much for spending a few minutes with me!

Spring & Wine - A Great Combination!

 

Hey everyone! It's Janet and with spring in full bloom, I'm looking forward to longer days and time to sit on the porch with a favorite glass of wine. This thought inspired me to create today's card. I started by picking out the Wine Washi Tape and two other coordinating washi tapes (see linked list below). I used Cricut Design Space to cut a red mat and white card front. I also found the hello sentiment with the arrow and created a shadow for it. Since the sentiment was small, I cut the hello script and the arrow from white and metallic vinyl. When something is too small to be cut successfully out of paper, vinyl is a great alternative.

After placing the washi tapes, I added three paper flowers and secured them with a wine bottle brad from the Wine Brad set. I also used the red wine glass brad from the set and placed it near the sentiment. I added silver and blue glitter enamel dots and a small heart enamel dot to balance everything out. 

I just love this card and how cheery and fun it is. This is perfect for someone who shares your love of wine.

Cheers to You Mom!

Here's a fun card for Mom made in the Slimline style. I tried a technique that Lauren Bergold on the Design Team has done which is to cover chipboard letters with washi tape. She had done a Dad card a while back using this technique and the Beer Washi and matching Beer Brads. I decided to try this for Mom and used the Wine Washi and Wine Brad Set and the Grapes Brad Set. 

I thought it would be fun to try coating the letters with an acrylic varnish. It worked! And now the letters have some nice shine which unfortunately doesn't show in the photos. I thought the washi might bubble or pull away from the chipboard but none of that happened.Think of the possibilities that could be used with this technique? I am going to try crackle medium and snow pen for a cool winter look next! You could coat the letters with varnish and sprinkle fine glitter on them too. I'm sure there are lots of things that could work on the Washi covered letters.

Have you tried the Slimline card size yet? If not, give it a try. And don't forget to visit Eyelet Outlet for a selection of washi tapes, brads and bling to make your cards special!

Wine (Tape) is the Answer!

Especially if the question is, "How can I make beautiful, fun, slightly silly, wine-themed cards really quickly?!" Because our brand new Eyelet Outlet Wine Washi Tape was custom designed to pair perfectly with our fabulous Wine Brads, as well as our cool new Grape Brads. Just stamp --or in my (Lauren's) case, computer generate-- a snarky sentiment and you are practically done already. See?

I love that the Grape Brads come with all three varieties... red, green and purple... in each packet. As for the Wine Brads, you get bottles and glasses of both red and white. Which is super-useful! For my first card I used the Wine Tape to create a fun patterned paper for the lower half of my card. Then added the brads within my diecut sentiment panel.

For my second card, I used the Wine Tape as more of an accent, so I only applied one strip, neatly set off with some Skinny Gold Tape. I used nice tall letter stickers for "Age" which I flanked with glasses from the Wine Brads set, plus bunches of red and green Grape Brads. The small Heart Pearls are a nice accent at the top, but also... they cover a distracting bit which was part of this slightly distressed patterned paper! ;)

Thanks for visiting today and CHEERS to you!

Terrific washi to match our classic brads!

And now...we have designed coordinating washi tape that show off all of these tool sets!  

Just in time for Father's Day.

Washi Tape Envelopes

Washi Tape is a fun and easy way to decorate the envelopes for your cards. 

I buy an assortment of envelopes from everywhere from discount stores to the local printing business.  I love fun colors, but you can make them even more fun with some Washi Tape.

For the tan envelope, I just wrapped the Wide Pineapple Washi Tape around the bottom of the envelope.  If you're going to mail these, make sure you wrap in the direction that the auto-feeder will be least likely to catch your edge and don't finish on the edge that goes first into the feeder.

For the navy envelopes, I folded the Copper Dots Foil Washi Tape (it looks so elegant with navy) in half around all of the edges and then trimmed each end.  When you do the flap, you just need to trim rather than fold, so you don't cover up the adhesive.  

One trick I learned with the more solid washi tapes is to tear the piece of tape and place it adhesive-side-up, so you can center it more easily for folding around the edges.  With the more translucent tapes it's easier to see the envelope edge.

Another trick I use with washi tape, is always to burnish with my Teflon bone folder after adhering to get a really solid adhesion.

For the yellow envelope, I thought it looked awesome wrapped with a few strips of the Wine Washi Tape.

And I love the look of the orange envelope wrapped (folded in half like the navy one) with the Wide Floral Washi Tape.

Go look through your Washi Tape collection and see what fun color & pattern combinations you can make.

Intresting Things

Waited Until Five

Today I made a set of cards featuring the oh-so-fun Wine Washi Tape.

These are four clean & simple layouts that are easy ways to feature your favorite roll of Washi Tape.  

The stamps are all from Cathy Zielske's Adulting No.1 Stamp Set (which pretty much cry out to be used with this awesome Wine Washi tape).

I love to angle the tape across my card front and then trim each size down slightly for a clean finish.

For this one I used vertical stripes and added in a piece of red glitter Washi Tape.

The angle technique also works well with square cards.  Sometimes I find it easier to leave a slight space between the pieces of tape rather than trying to line the strips up exactly side-by-side.

It's also fun to have the tape cross between your layers (top layer attached with foam tape).

I hope these cards gave you some ideas about quick and easy cards you can make with your favorite washi tapes.
