Thinking Of You


Talk about a fun card to create this week's creation for Eyelet Outlet is an adorable 4x4 specialty fold card made from using mostly different types and styles of washi tape.


The front of the card has four different types of washi tape as the base which include the Script Flower Washi Tape, the Bee Washi Tape, the Red Foil Washi Tape and the Flower Washi Tape where I hand-cut the roses and placed them on for movement. The focal point of the front of the card is made by using the Script Flower Washi Tape washy tape and one of the little girls from the Girl Washi Tape cut out and highlighted with the red border. A sweet sentiment was added along with several Jewel Strips - Black and 12mm Bling Jewels in Black on the front.


When you open the card, you get a flash of sparkle from the Red Swirl Bling
and the three Jewel Strips - Black that are sitting on top of the Floral Washi Tape
 pocket.


Sitting inside that pocket, is the cutest little card made from Script Flower Washi Tape  as the base and a hand cut red rose from the Flower Washi Tape as the focal point. I tied a black and white ribbon on the side and bejeweled this piece with several Jewel Strips - Black.



As you can see, many of the colors on this card were made strictly by using washi tape, so it does not matter what colors, types, or styles of card stock you have on hand, if you have a selection of washi tape from Eyelet Outlet, you are able to create a beautiful and unique greeting card at any moment.

This journal card already had some printed chicks and eggs, but there was still room for Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads, Colored Eggs and White Daisies. Pink Dot Washi Tape sets off the large and small sentiments for extra impact.

Junk Journal Cover Idea

Do you enjoy journaling or collecting creative ideas in a Junk Journal or Art Journal? I decided I would like to have a little journal to make notes or express some creativity!

I started with cutting 3 pieces of kraft cardstock to 4x12 and I folded them in half. I used a punch to create the binding option for the left side. Next, I gathered a few of my favorite Eyelet Outlet supplies! I decided to create a background with a vintage inspired theme! I created my framed flapper girl as the focal point with washi tapes too!  I just love their versatility! So, no matter your particular color schemes or interests you could easily replicate this idea! There are so many options!

I created a slim tag and stamped my sentiment "Think Happy Thoughts" and added some ribbons to finish off the cover! I can't wait to start adding to my little junk journal! I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for all your crafting needs!

Have An Eggs-tra Special Easter!


 It's always fun to create farm scenes and in this case I have used it to create an Easter card. I created this Easter farm scene using Cricut Design Space and a chicken coop .svg pattern I had in my library. The grass and fence are patterns available from Cricut.

This is a 5" square top-fold card. Once I made the scene with cardstock, I added Colored Daisy Brads, Colored Egg Brads, Chick Brads, and Chicken Brads. I added an "eggs-tra special" sentiment to finish it. This will be fun to pop in the mail to my Mom who always enjoys cards depicting the farm life she loves.

Faux Leather? YES PLEASE!


We all know that Eyelet Outlet has the cutest and largest selection of brads, but did you know that they also have the most fabulous faux leather pieces? From character themed pieces, embossed pieces to duo chrome-colored pieces, their faux leather selection is amazing. 

To highlight the awesomeness of faux leather this week, I decided to make a very simple yet beautiful everyday greeting card.

 The background of the card is the Iris duo chrome-colored faux leather that I glued onto a purple foil card stock which was then glued on to a black background card base. You should see how beautiful the colors are in the light!

 The large floral embellishment in the middle is from the floral duo chrome-colored faux leather. I wanted to highlight the beautiful flowers on this piece of faux leather, so I cut out just one section of three flowers and their attached leaves.

I glued that onto a piece of blue foil card stock which was glued on a piece of white cardstock which I inked to have a purple hue. To finish off the card, I added several Blue Jewel Bling as well as Blue Pearls and a resin flower.

Make sure you check out the selection of faux leather the eyelet outlet carries when they come to a Scrapbook Tradeshow near you.

What's Cooking

 


This card was inspired by Eyelet Outlet's stamp set called
Cooking Stamp Set. It comes with the oven, different sentiments,
gloves and other kitchen-related items.

I started by stamping the oven, mitts and sentiment. These were
colored with Copic Markers. I added the muffin tin brads
 and the cooking spoon brads along the side. Of course, I had to
 add some bling from Eyelet Outlet that I even used for the knobs
on the oven.

Enjoy Your Day!


 Hello everyone! I always enjoy decorating clothing items with Eyelet Outlet brads and bling. It often is just the right size for various clothing dies. Whether it's an apron, t-shirt, or sweatshirt, brads like the Piñata look great on them. 

I made this card by cutting out a stitched scalloped rectangle. Then I cut a window and cut a smaller navy rectangle from a nested set. The green polka dot frame is actually Green Dot Washi Tape. I placed the tape so that it would border the two rectangles. I then went about making the sweatshirt. I covered a piece of white cardstock with Pink Checked Washi Tape. I cut it out with the die and pieced it together. I added a Pinata Brad and two pieces of red sticky back Heart Pearls. I mounted the sweatshirt on the card with foam tape. I stamped ENJOY and heat embossed it. A Heart Brad was placed and then I mounted it with foam tape. I stamped the two other sentiments on white cardstock and placed them. Finally I used three pearls in the Pearl Strip Bling on the left corner. This made a super cute card with lots of movement and texture.

Just Wanted To Say Hello

 





Sometimes it's nice to send a friend a card for no other reason other than just to say hello, to brighten their day and let them know you are thinking of them. This week's creation is a card that does just that.

I created the beautiful peacock using a die and individually cut and placed the five different colors within the peacock feathers in the plume. I added  to the feathers for sparkle and gave the peacock a beautiful sparkling Purple Bling eye. In the corners oBlue Bling the framed peacock are two yellow Butterfly Corner Brads to center the piece.

 Although this card did take some time to create it turned out beautiful in my opinion thanks to all the sparkly embellishments from Eyelet Outlet.

Words of WisdomAnd

This retro woman on an old time telephone I discovered in the Cricut image library was a perfect opportunity to use one of my Eyelet Outlet telephone brads.  


And she is offering some excellent words of wisdom!  Be careful what you use your fabric scissors for!  I added a little Heat & Bond to the back of this scrap of fabric and used my iron to attach it to my card.  Positioning it partly under the scissor brad really made it look like those scissors were cutting the fabric!

Eyelet Outlet will be at the Scrapbook Expo March 1-2 in Pleasanton, California, so if you're in the area, stop by the vendor fair!  See the rest of our tradeshow schedule here.

Bird Words

If, like me (Lauren) you enjoy watching the birds at your backyard feeder, you will have noticed quite a bit of mealtime chatter, and you may have wondered what it's all about. With the help of our handsome Eyelet Outlet Bluebird and Robin Brads and some fun speech bubbles, here is my fanciful idea of what those birds are saying to each other. Card backgrounds made from Wide Sky Washi, Wood Tape and Music Note Washi Tape.


Eyelet Outlet has Birds, Bugs, Farm Animals, Jungle Critters, Fish, Crustaceans, Reptiles, Cats, Dogs, Deer,  and... well, pretty much ANY cute critter you could possibly want to add to your papercrafting projects!

hopes YOU have a BEARY nice day!

Winter Besties!

 Aren't these sweet little winter clad gals adorable? I think so! And, they are beating the winter blues with coffee and friendship!

I started my card by creating a cloudy, wintery background with distress inks. I then added a strip of sparkling white glitter washi for snow. I fussy cut my sweet winter girls and placed them on the right side. Next, I stamped my greeting directly on the frames washi and added to my layout! What's a fun gathering of friends without coffee or bubble tea? So, I added the coffee cup brads and layered on bubble tea washi lined cardstock! I hope you enjoy!

Eggs-tra Special Easter!


Spring is on it's way and it's definitely time to start making Easter cards. I filled the die cut Easter basket with lots of EO goodness. I've included Colored Egg Brads, White Daisy Brads, Chick Brads, Pastel Rabbit Brads, Dragonfly Brads, and Paper Flowers in purple and pink. I used a 3D embossing folder for the background. To make the embossed design pop, I brushed on white metallic gilding wax. The final touches include an Easter Bubble Brad and Cut Jewel Bling. This is so fresh and puts me in the mood for Easter for sure!
