Ring Around the Rosettes

This week's creation is different than anything I've made in the past. I wanted to make some cards, but I wanted them to be different. It just so happened that I got some extra fabric from a friend yesterday and decided to incorporate the different fabrics into my cards while using Eyelet Outlet’s embellishments to enhance them. 

I created six different rosettes out of the different fabrics and added matching bling or matching brads to the center of each rosette. From there, I was able to go in any direction I wanted as far on how to use the rosettes.

I started with the cards…one card is based around the Colored Daisy brads with a sunny yellow daisy in the middle of the rosette, a pink daisy around the sentiment, Gold Glitter Washi tape and two Yellow Stippled Jewel Brads in the corners. 

The second card is a basic black and white card that is embellished with many Black Stippled Jewel Blings, some corners off of the Black Swirl Bling and a large Black faceted Jewel Bling in the center of the rosette. 

The third card I created is a fun, everyday card with the rosette being made from fabric that had a farm theme.  

I had to add the bright red Truck Brad to the middle. They just looked like they were made to go together. Eyelet Outlet has some many cute choices, you will find something that will match whatever theme you are going for. 

On the outside of the card are several Black Stippled Jewel Bling as well as Black and Orange Bling. These cards are just so cute and so fun, and I cannot wait to send them to a friend.

With the other rosettes I made, I turned them into hair barrettes by gluing a basic hair clip to the back of each rosette. 

I do not know which one is my favorite between the Tropical Bird rosette ...

or the vintage country style fabric with the Jeans and T-shirt Brad. 

They are both adorable and would look beyond cute in any little girl's hair. 

Eyelet Outlets embellishments always jazz up your creations but as you can see here, they can also be the center of your creations without being overstated. LOVE.

Pocket Full of Posies

 Spring is just around the corner and I'm thinking about flowers!  Eyelet Outlet has paper flowers in every color that will really make your spring projects stand out.  Today I've filled a pocket of my favorite blue jeans with some yellow ones - and a few green ones serve as leaves.  

We have lots of options for adorning the center of your flowers, from jeweled brads, round brads, and stick-on jewels, but today I decided on some enamel dots.  I also added a few enamel hearts to my card. 

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine Postage Collage

I just love the versatility of Eyelet Outlet products and was exited to create a wintery Valentine themed postage collage! In staying with a winter theme, I used the snowman couple brads as my focus and added white glitter washi tape for snow and a red enamel heart. Next, I stamped "you melt my heart" sentiment as well as some script, postage lines, and hearts.

I filled in my other postage stamp spaces with Happy Valentine's Day glitter washi, wintery glitter tall tree washi tape, and vintage washi tape! I added a few red rose brads to finish off my card!

And since I was having so much fun! I decided to decorate my envelope too! I added the skinny red and white washi tape and some Valentine themed stamps to finish off my project! I hope you enjoy! What a fun way to play with a variety of Eyelet Outlet washi tapes, brads and more!

My Shopping Bag

 I have been waiting for just the right moment to use these super

cute shopping brads from Eyelet Outlet. Who doesn't like a

 new purse or shoes and I could not pass these up.

The image (Julie Spiri) is perfect for this cute bag and I used the pink

dotted washi tape from Eyelet Outlet to add a little glimmer.
I also used the pink jewels to highlight the title of the bag.
 The best part of this project is that you could used this
 bag as a cute gift bag for someone.

Hello Friend

Spring is coming and my card today looks forward to green grass and warmer days. For this card, I designed a scene with Cricut Design Space to include a bare tree, clouds, the Hello sentiment and the friend banner. Before adding these items, I prepared the background with a stencil and blue inks. I added clouds, a heat embossed banner, and Grass Washi Tape. Then I placed all the other items and added a Colored Daisy Brad, Butterfly Brads, a Bluebird Brad, and Rabbit Brads. Once done, I added faux white stitches on the sentiment and blue dots to highlight the clouds behind the tree. I like the pops of bright colors here and there in the card.

You Are Enough

Sometimes you just need to be reminded that You Are Enough. Making a simple card with some thought out well wishes could be just the perfect thing that somebody needs to read that day. I created this card with that thought in mind, hoping it will remind you that ‘You Are Enough’.

 

I used a method called quilling to create the cherry blossom petals. Quilling takes time and patience, and many (like me) find it extremely relaxing and cathartic.  You take tiny strips of paper and roll them into circles and form them into a shape. 

As you can see, each one of the blooms have five individually quilled petals formed in a teardrop shape with an Eyelet Outlet Pearl from the Multi-Sized Bling Sheets in light pink and pink adorning the center of each. Cherry blossoms always seem to attract the most beautiful flying creatures, so I added three fluttering dragonflies from the Dragonfly Brads. 

And perching on the top of the cherry blossom tree is a beautiful cardinal from the Cardinal Profile Brads reminding you that you are never alone and that ‘You Are Enough’.

Little Black Dress

Every woman needs a little black dress brad in their life and you can pick one up at Eyelet Outlet.  There's actually several colors in the package!  While you're shopping, be sure and grab some cute shoes and matching hand bag!

The wardrobe image I used looked a little mid-century modern to me, so I leaned into that as I created this card by using the abstract turquoise shape and the stars.  I accentuated the stars with a few clear jewel gems.
 

Our 2024 Trade Show Schedule is up on the blog, so be sure and check it out and if you're in or near a city we'll be visiting, I hope you'll make plans to see us in person.

You Are My Type!

 You are my type! I couldn't resist playing with the typewriter washi tape and typewriter brads to create a fun Valentine's Day card!

After stamping my typewriter and using an exacto knife to cut a place for my "typed" message, I adhered it to cardstock lined with typewriter washi tape. I embellished with heart enamels and brads. Lastly, I layered on cardstock lined with red stripe washi! I hope you take some time this Valentine season to create handmade cards to show love and appreciation!

Light Up the Night

 

Here is a bright and happy card to light up anyone's day.
I have had the stamp image for a while and knew all along that it
 was perfect for these lightbulb brads from the Eyelet Outlet.

To add a bit more shimmer I used glitter gold washi tape
(skinny version). I used it initially to frame out the card and then
I placed smaller pieces around the light bulb image. The
lightbulb also has three clear gems to highlight the filament.

This is a fun card to send to a friend and here is your
Eyelet Outlet Shopping List:
Lightbulb brad (package has both yellow and white)
Skinny Glitter Washi Tape (6 rolls - different colors)
Jewel Bling - Clear

I am looking forward to seeing you next Monday. Stay Crafting.

Hang In There!

Today I have a card I made for a friend who had a hard week. I wanted to give her something to let her know she isn't alone and she can count on me for anything she needs. I had told her to hang in there and it occurred to me later that I could repeat that same phrase in this card to her.

It was so easy to make this card! First I layered three washi tapes on white cardstock and cut them with a dress die. The washi tapes made perfect dress patterns! I used Flower Washi Tapes for two of the dresses. For the middle dress, I chose Heart Washi Tape. These made beautiful dresses but just about any patterned or floral tape could give you a very similar effect. It's up to you how you want the dresses to look!

I cut a mat and used oxide inks to highlight the center with blues. I sprayed some blue ink on it and let it dry. Then I arranged the dresses while hanging them on Wooden Hanger Brads. The dresses are so adorable hanging on these brads! All I needed to do was add Pearl Sticky Back Hearts and my sentiment and it was complete. I know this card will bring a smile to my friend's face.

Bling it On Baby!

I find it funny how my creative process works. It changes all the time! Although I do have some tried and true methods that I use, like waking up from a crazy dream and creating that wild thought I dreamt of or when I see an everyday item like a drinking glass and suddenly, my mind can see it transformed into a handmade gumball machine.  A lot of these inspirational moments tend to look better in my mind than they do after I create them, but that’s not what it is about. It’s the trying to create them…that is the best part. 

When I sat down to create something for this week’s project, I was having a bad creative block moment and was stuck! I couldn't find inspiration anywhere and let me tell you I tried. As I was sitting there in my craft room, with my pen in one hand paper on the table ready to write or draft an idea, the crafting Gods smacked me upside my head and I had it! I actually think a literal light bulb appeared over my head.

My inspiration was there the whole time, literally in my fingertips. It was the ballpoint pen I was holding!! That boring, plain and just blah ink pen was about to go on the adventure of its little ballpoint life! I knew what needed to be done. It was time to BLING IT UP BABY!

 

I took that ballpoint pen, grabbed my box of EyeletOutlet bling, and just went to town. The first pen I created was using Blue and Purple Jewel Bling Strips alternating the colors as I went up the pen. This was super easy and surprisingly, took about 10 minutes to create since the bling already had self-adhesive on the back so no gluing was necessary! LOVE!

 

For the second pen, I wanted to try something a bit different, so I decided to try to bling on a diagonal. Using the same Jewel Bling Strips, I chose the bright and cheerful colors in light green, light pink, blue, purple and clear and alternated them going from bottom to top. Believe it or not, this one took me about 10 minutes as well because the EO bling is so easy to work with. 

I was so excited to see how cute these actually turned out and that they matched what my vision was! I’m not sure if this is good or bad but I am now looking all around my craft room at different items that are calling my name just begging to be blinged! 

I see you, TV! You are on my Bling List!

More Fun With Puns

When Eyelet Outlet says we have the widest variety of brads on the web, they mean it!  Where else are you going to find waffle brads?!  And we have toast, eggs, and bacon, too!  But today was about the waffle brads since I was making a cute little Valentine for someone I love a "waffle lot!" A large red enamel heart finished this card off perfectly.

Speaking of our amazing variety, sure, you might find apple brads, but you'll only find an apple core brad at Eyelet Outlet!  And how will you tell someone you love them to the core without it?!! Add a few of our mini leaf brads and some more enamel hearts and you're set to go with a unique and fun Valentine card.
