I love creating cards that use puns and plays on words! These are especially fun for Valentine cards and I have one for you today that features the orange slices from our new Lemonade and Fruit brad set.

You're Tops in My Book
Hearts, flowers and books are ALWAYS in season! Here's a card featuring Eyelet Outlet Book Brads and Book Washi that could be a Valentine, a Galentine, a Birthday Greeting or a Just Because Card. A label shape made of Book Tape is framed by a larger diecut of Wood Washi and the whole thing is framed with Script Tape. Book Brads, a Colored Daisy and a few Hearts finish off this sweet scene.
Whether your next card is for a reader, a sportsperson, a classic car enthusiast or a knitter... Eyelet Outlet has the brads, tapes and embellies you need!

Winter Cardinals
Is there anything more lovely than a pair of beautiful cardinals sitting in a winter landscape?
Sadly, during this winter season we have had friends and family who have lost loved ones. I decided to create a sympathy card using the beautiful cardinal brads. Adding a few pops of winter green fir, the cardinal washi and pinecone brads finished off my simple card.

Winter Wishes

We are in the heart of winter and my thoughts are on quiet snowy nights where the snow dampens all the sound and nature dominates a magical world. My card is in memory of those peaceful evenings when I lived in Minnesota and North Dakota.
I've made a card with a domed snow globe. Inside are silver Snowflake Sequins, Deer Brads and Tree Snow Brads. The wintery globe background is Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape and Glitter Star Washi Tape. The card mat is cardstock lined with Deer Washi Tape. I added Snowflake Bling for decoration. This comes in white, red and green but the white is perfect for this card.

MY FIVE FAVORITE CREATIONS OF 2023
With the ending of 2023 and a brand-new year starting, I've been reminiscing about all the fun things I've made for you in 2023. Although it was hard to narrow it down since each project was special to me in their own ways, I picked out my FIVE favorite creations I made for you in 2023.
AND HERE THEY ARE...
Coming in at number FIVE…
THE JUNK JOURNAL JUNKIE!
Talk about FUN! Since there is no right or wrong way to create a Junk Journal page, I just let my imagination soar and before I knew it, I had created something pretty cool! I love to stand back and look at this and see all the different intricate items I cut out and added. Even though I created it, I still find new things that I hadn’t noticed before.
Not far behind the Junk Journal Junkie page and coming in at number FOUR is…
THE BICYCLE AND BOUQUETS SHADOWBOX!
I smile every time I look at this one. I love all the bright colors and how the flower brads match perfectly with the paper flowers I made. And the spokes on the wheels!! LOVE. This project, to me, is a huge smile turned into a shadowbox!
IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR COLLECTION!
See all the photos here:
https://eyeletoutlet.blogspot.com/2023/08/its-most-wonderful-time-of-year-part-2.html
Since my mom was a teacher, she would always get so excited for school to start and would sing that song all throughout August as she was getting her classroom all set up. I loved making this collection in honor of my mom and all the teachers out there that truly love making a difference in a young child’s life. Thank you all.
The number TWO spot goes to...
The SHABBY CHIC ARMOIRE
This one holds a special place in my heart as it was the very first creation I made for Eyelet Outlet. I love to make 3-D paper creations so I wanted to make sure my first impression was a good one and I was extremely happy with how adorable it actually turned out. If you get a chance to visit a show where Eyelet Outlet has a booth, make sure to stop by and see it in person!
And my all-time favorite piece I made all year…coming
in at NUMBER ONE is…
THE HAUNTED HOUSE HALLOW LUMINARY!
https://eyeletoutlet.blogspot.com/2023/10/haunted-house-hallow.html
Again, my passion is creating 3-D sculptures
and the more intricate, the better! I
literally had to pull myself away from this piece because I just kept thinking
of more and more cute things to add. I
love the spider hanging from the roof, the spider egg nest I made from a Q-Tip,
the “blood” stained stairs and of course, I HAD to pay homage to one of my favorite
movies and add the two witches feet under the house. Little details that you must look close to
find. I love adding the EXTRAS!
I hope you’ve enjoyed my projects as much as I
have enjoyed creating them for you. I
cannot wait to see what I create for you next year!!
Have a safe a very happy New Year!

Recipe Scrapbooking
Happy New Year, Eyelet Outlet fans! Now that the holidays are behind us and the wrapping paper and Christmas crafting supplies are put away, I thought I'd spend a little time working on one of my favorite crafting passions - scrapbooking my recipes.
I first discovered Eyelet Outlet back in 2009 when I was creating my first recipe scrapbook. Their awesome cooking/food/drink brads have embellished many of my pages through the years, but today I've used some fun brads from the most recent release. The new pinata brads, beautiful cactus brads, lime wedges from the Lemonade and Fruit brad set and a few cocktail brads to add some fun interest to my Mexican Lasagna recipe pages.

January Calendar Planning
Happy New Year dear creative friends! I am grateful you are here!
As we embark on a New Year and set goals and plans for success, I thought I would share my calendar layout for January 2024. I love using a good quality paper planner that allows me to write, stamp, create, and add embellishments to my heart's content!
I began with stamping my snowflakes in light blue and adding some distressing around the edges of my planner. Next, I added my wintery washi tapes in various places. Lastly, I embellished with the adorable snowman and snowflake brads! Quick, simple, and easy with a lovely result!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for all your crafting needs!

Janet's Top 5 Cards of 2023
It's been quite a year at the Eyelet Outlet blog. We've had some great projects over the year. As is always fitting, the team is taking a look back and showing us their five favorite cards and projects of 2023. I've picked mine but it's always hard to look through over 50 projects and choose your favorites. If you would like to be reminded of how to make these or if you wonder what products were EO's, just clink on the post links and it'll take you to the original posts. So - without further delay, here are my top five choices!
Whisking You a Happy Birthday! I love interactive and dimensional cards. This one has so many fun EO kitchen brads and I loved the colors on this one too. You can find the details HERE.
Go Vegan for Thanksgiving! This one makes me laugh and I love all the fall leaves, sunflowers, pumpkins, squirrel and acorn brads used on this one together. The post can be found HERE.

Winter Wonderland Town Gift Box
So, Christmas is over, but the holiday cheer
is still flowing! I’m ready for some SNOW!!! For this week's creation for Eyelet Outlet, I wanted to make
something extra special that can be used anytime of the year. I made this with
winter and snow in mind.
As you can see, it is an adorable gift box with a beautiful candy cane and snowflake embossed paper ribbon on top. The front of the box is adorned with three white snowflake brads that match perfectly to the paper I used to make the box.
Once you lift off the lid of the present, two of the sides fall down to reveal a serene 3-D Winter Wonderland Town that awaits you inside.
One side of the box has a beautiful sentiment accented
by four large clear bumpy
jewel bling.
If you look through the wintery trees in the
forest, you will see a cozy cabin surrounded by snowdrifts. The roof has a wreath brad on top where
I added some red jewel
bling to look like holly berries.
It wouldn’t be a Winter Wonderland Town if it wasn’t snowing. The snowflakes are the clear jewel bling mixed with several of the white glitter enamel dots.
When it snows, you MUST make a snowman so our
Winter Wonderland town has its very own snowman brad that
welcomes all guests that come to visit.
The Winter Wonderland town holds another special surprise! Turn off the lights and our cozy cabin is all lit up!!
This Winter Wonderland town gift box was so
fun to make, and it is so versatile. I can make it for any season, any occasion,
any event, and I know that Eyelet outlet will always have all the extra
embellishments I will need to make it extra special.
Snowflake Brads
Clear Bumpy Jewel Bling
Wreath Brad
Jewel Bling - Red
Jewel Bling – Clear
Glitter Enamel Dots - White
Snowman Brad
Have a wonderful week
and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!
