Delightful Daisy Den Luminary

Delightful Daisy Den Luminary

Happy Saturday Everyone!!

Here she is.  The last in the Cottage Collection!  Just as special as the others, this is the Delightful Daisy Den.

The Daisy Den is, of course, bedazzled with several different types of daisy brads all from Eyelet Outlet. The roof is adorned with five daisies from the Colored Daisy brads and the White Daisy brads. The front door is spotlighted with several Bright Flower Quicklet Eyelets and Green Pearl Bling in the center of each flower.

The roof is made from the Glitter Chevron Washi Tape and the Blue Glitter Washi tape. The side paneling and the front step are also made from the Blue Glitter Washi tape. Around the base of the Daisy Den are some delicate multicolored tulips from the Tulip Washi tape.

 Sprinkled all over, you will find green sparkles from the Light Green Jewel Strip.

And…of course…It lights up!  The roof lifts off where I’ve placed a battery-operated candle that shines beautifully through the velum windows. 

THE COTTAGE COLLECTION!

 

Hope you enjoy!!

Christmas Tree Farm

I love making fancy fold cards and today I have one for you inspired by Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Crafts.  This one is called a 2 Tiered Pop Up Card and you can find her tutorial for this type of card on YouTube.  

This fancy fold is a bottom-fold card and has a sheet of acetate that serves to stabalize it when it's open and on display.  It folds up over the card flat for mailing. I created my version of Sam's card in Cricut Design Space and scaled it down in size so that it would fit in an A-2 envelope.  

I can think of so many ideas for this card base, so I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing more of these in future posts, but today I thought I'd give you a little "Christmas in July" with this Christmas Tree Farm.  I used both the Pine Tree Brads as well as the Snowy Tree Brads from Eyelet Outlet interspersed throughtout the card amoung the card stock trees.  I also added a  Pine Tree Brad  to the back of the pick up and some snowflake brads in the sky.

Only 5 more months until Christmas, so happy crafting!

Merci Bouquet!

Fast, easy Thank You cards are simple when you pair Eyelet Outlet flower brads and washi tapes! Extra wide Sunflower Tape makes for beautiful diecuts and what could be better than Sunflower and Leaf Brads to adorn them? Or, try Coloring Book Washi with Stitched Flower Brads and a sweet Mini Bee to finish the design. 

 The possible Eyelet Outlet Brad and Tape combinations are only limited by your imagination!

Something Sweet...

 Just for you!

This summer, I am enjoying creating fun tags to add to gifts! This summery, sun-shiny, mason jar tag is so fun! I added a light script stamp background to the white mason jar. I created a band using patterned papers and a simple sentiment. I added the new adorable lemon and lime brads and jewel stickers in green. Next, I created a "just for you" tag for the top of the mason jar and used a green brad from the summer mix brad collection to hold it in place! Lastly, I topped off my mason jar with mixed twine ribbons!

When Life Gives You Lemons

Hello and welcome to summer! I love our new Lemonade and Fruit Brads. With summer, I thought I'd do a slightly different take on the make lemons into lemonade theme. I don't think one envisions palms and pretty water on a dock with that theme but I've made it work!

Washi Tape is so versatile. One of the things I like to do most is use it as a border for my cards. It's very quick and easy and way more economical than wasting a huge piece of expensive glitter cardstock. If you just want a touch of glitter occasionally it also makes sense to invest in a few washi tapes instead of cardstocks that end up taking your precious space. I apply it along all edges, overlapping in the corners. You can't tell there's an overlap and the result is really nice.

To make this one, I created the background using Canva. I added the sentiment and then printed it. I used a die to make the tray and added it to the dock along with the Lemonade & Fruit Brads. Then I simply added the enamel dots and blue bling. This was quick and easy and I love the results!

Bewitching Bugalow Luminary

Happy Saturday Everyone!!

Continuing with the cottage theme from last week, today we are introduced to the Bewitching Bungalow...oops...I mean Bugalow.

This charming Bugalow is the perfect place for any and all little bugs and their buddies to come play – day or night! If you look closely, you will see several visitors like the Ferris the Frog from the Frog Set Brads, Leonardo the Turtle from the Turtle Brads, Owl Capone from the Owl Brads, Gilbert the Gecko from the Reptile Brads, an army of ants marching from the Mini Ant Brads, a few buzzing bumblebees from the Mini Bee Brads and of course, a magical family a dragonflies from the Dragonfly Brads. All these adorable brads are available for you to add fun additions like these to your projects only at Eyelet Outlet.

To create the Bugalow, I used a template I had in my stash and just Stacyed it up!  On the roof and front panel, I used my favorite Jewel Bling Strips and Pearl Bling Strips were used on the sides and back.

The large flower was made with several White Paper Flowers that I water colored to get it an ethereal look.  In the center of the flower are five white Glitter Enamel Dots.

The grass and rows of flowers were die cut and then heat embossed several times to give it depth and dimension.

 And it wouldn’t be a Stacy Strate Design if it didn’t do something extra!!!!  It lights up!  The roof lifts off where I’ve placed a battery-operated candle that shines beautifully through the velum windows.

Hope you enjoy!!

You're SODA Cute!

 I think you'll agree, Eyelet Outlet's new Soda brads are SODA CUTE, aren't they?! I had fun using these darling stick figures by Heather Roberts, a Cricut Contributing Artist.

As I often do, I added a few enamel hearts in a complementary color . Eyelet Outlet has them in every color you can think of!  

See all the newly released brads here and if you've already used some of them in a project, we'd sure love to see what you've done!  Please share on our Eyelet Outlet Fan's Facebook Group!

Life is Better at the Beach

Life IS better at the beach, but the next best thing is a beautiful beachy card, bedecked with Eyelet Outlet Brads. Shell Brads, Shell Corners, Sea Shore, flying and standing Seagulls and Tall Palm Brads add coastal flavor to faux polaroids matted with Sparkle Gold Glitter Tape add glamor. A Wide Wood Washi background with a twine border is set off with colorful, old-school 1/8" Round Eyelets and a scattering of Multi-sized Pearls completes the design.

This summer the Eyelet Outlet Booth is probably visiting a town near you, check out our Tradeshow Schedule to find out where and when!

Happy 4th of July!

I love celebrating our Independence Day with family and friends! What a blessing we have been given! It is a time to reflect, honor and celebrate!

The Star Spangled Banner, Our National Anthem

by Francis Scott Key

"O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming, 

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

 O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"

I enjoyed creating this card and adding fun patriotic elements! I added the red, white, and blue washi tape to white card stock then stamped my large number 4 to create a fun new layered element!

Topiary Thoughts

 

I love topiaries and came across this stamp recently that I have had
for a very long time. It provided many opportunities to use
Eyelet Outlet embellishments to make it special.

It is always a bit tricky to cover a stairstep card but using washi tape
from Eyelet Outlet made it quick and easy. The washi tapes
they have are available for any season.

For the brads, I used the corner butterflies and a bird on the 
topiary container. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers
and the flowers were adorned with clear jewel bling.

For the steps I added a sentiment then adorned the other steps 
with pink enamel dots and clear jewel bling.

A Pineapple A Day Keeps Your Worries Away!

 Hello and welcome to summer! I can hardly believe it's July already but it's here so we need to take advantage of every great day we have until the leaves start falling.

Today's card features some gorgeous washi tape I've had an eye on for a while. It's the Pineapple Washi Tape. The pineapple images are so awesome. Some realistic ones are in it but many more look like gems and are in all kinds of colors. I think it's super fun. I added Skinny Yellow Washi Tape and a piece of Glitter Chevron Washi Tape to finish the background. It's so cheery!

I happened to run into the pineapple ephemera piece and thought it would be perfect with the washi tape. I couldn't resist adding a pair of sunglasses and additional embellishments. I used the Colored Daisy Brads and Vacation Enamel Dots to decorate it up.

The Bumblebee Cottage Luminary

 The Bumblebee Cottage Luminary

 

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I absolutely LOVE making 3-D pieces and knew I wanted to make one for this week’s project.  I was stuck on what I should make.  I had a ton of ideas in my head but one morning, I went out back to my raised garden and saw these beautiful bumblebees buzzing around my cucumber plants, I knew right then what I needed to make!  A BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE LUMINARY!

 Luckily, I already had a template to get me started and then I was off in my own little bumblebee world!!

I loved adding my own personal touches to the actual cottage. Rather than using preprinted cardstock, I made my own cardstock out of Washi tape from Eyelet Outlet!  This allowed me to be as creative as I wanted to be.  I wasn’t stuck in that preprinted "box".

 I ended up using the wide Butterfly Washi tape for the walls and roof of the cottage and embossed them to give more depth. For the floral base, I used the Flower Washi tape to give it a nature feel. The walls, roof and windows are all decorated with a multitude of bling to make sure the bumblebees will always be able to see the sparkle of their cottage. On the roof, around the base of the cottage and the base of the floral stand, we have the clear Jewel Strips while the windows are all decorated in either clear Jewel Strips or green Jewel Strips.

 The beautiful flower that greets the bumblebees is made from the purple Paper Flowers and the white Paper Flowers with a dainty purple Cut Jewel in the center.

 

And what would the Bumblebee Cottage be without bumblebees?!?!  We have our three locals, Barnabee, Beeatrice and Buzz bringing in the day's pollen. These cuties are Bumblebee brads.

Ohhh…who’s that???  I see a ladybug or two scouting around the cottage. Can you find them? They are from the Ladybug brad collection.

 What about when they are out searching for pollen late at night?  How will they find their cottage?  Not to worry!! IT LIGHTS UP!!!  The whole top removes to reveal a base with two battery operated candles that light up the night sky!

Don’t worry Barnabee, Beeatrice and Buzz…we have you covered! 

How fun was this one?! What did you think?

Hope you enjoy!!
