Sew Awesome

Let your mom know how awesome she is with a handmade card this Mother's Day. I used several Eyelet Outlet products to embellish this one and I love how it turned out.

I used a Cricut image for the pin cushion and I added some of Eyelet Outlet's small yellow enamel dots to the heads of the pins, I used our amazing thread brads on the card. I tucked a piece of white thread in behind the white spool which really added interest and texture. I topped off this little sewing center with a some black enamel hearts.

I SEW appreciate your stopping by today and I hope you'll be making your mom a special card!

God Makes A Way

We have had drought conditions here in Central Texas and so we were very thankful when the heavens opened up over the weekend and we received over 3" of rain on our parched ground! 

To celebrate here's a card I made recently reminding us that God will make a way! This desert watercolor by Cricut Contributing Artist, Elen, made the perfect backdrop for this inspirational card. 

I embellished the landscape with three Eyelet Outlet cactus brads and the blazing sun brad in the sky was a perfect addition to this card. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you stop by the Eyelet Outlet site today and add some cactus brads to your cart.

Today's card theme is treasures under the sea. This 5 x 5 card is full of wonderful bling in yummy jewel colors and white pearls. The treasure chest is stuffed with bling and some overflows on the sand bottom as well. In addition to the bling, I added several brads that are perfect embellishments for a treasure card.

To make this, I started inking up the water background with a stencil. Then I colored and trimmed out the stamped ocean bottom scene at the base. Then I layered in all the bling and the brads to create this perfect underwater treasure card.

Today I have a rather "majestic" birthday card for you that is blinged out with our clear tear drop bling (available in blue and pearl, too), some clear bling strip, and some jeweled bling in clear and pink. More colors of that are available, too. 

I used some foam tape to attach the crown to the card base which gave it a little more pop. Stock up on bling today!

I added some of our swirl bling in Silver Pearl on either side of the crown, too.

Butterfly Flight

One thing I've always enjoyed about Eyelet Outlet is that they sell bling in many colors, styles and shapes. Who loves lots of color, sparkle, and glamour? Me!

To make this card, I chose first a square of pretty marbled cardstock with touches of aqua blue, lavender, and ivory. On top of this, I placed sections of Blue Jewel Swirl Bling. The bling makes me think of butterfly flight and so I made 4 layered butterflies out of vellum with glitter embossing powders in complementary colors to the bling and background. I added two sizes of purple Jewel Bling on the bodies and antenna of the butterflies.

I also made a Thinking of You sentiment strip on blue cardstock with white embossing powder. I layered 2 layers of each butterfly and placed them on the card. I added the final touches of clear 12mm Cut Bling and purple Jewel Bling. I matted the card panel on ivory cardstock and then on top of purple glimmer cardstock.

The final card is a sparkling thinking of you card with glittery butterflies and bling. I'm loving the pretty combination of marble and jewels and how it is the perfect setting for the soft, glittered butterflies.

Shopping List:
Swirl Bling - Blue Jewels
Jewel Bling - Multi - Purple
8mm Cut Bling - Clear

Squeeze The Day

I knew I wanted to make a lemonade themed card, but I couldn't decide between a pitcher of lemonade or some glasses, so I made both.

Using my Cricut, I sliced an openings in each card for the pitcher and also for the glasses. I added some acetate to the back to create a window. I added the Eyelet Outlet lemon slice brads to the bottom layer and then used foam tape to adhere the window layer. This created lots of dimension to the card. On the card with the glasses I also added the pitcher of lemonade that is included in this brad set. There's lime and orange slices in this set, too!

Stop by the Eyelet Outlet store today and put some of these refreshing lemonade and fruit brads in your cart! There's a lot of possibilities with this set, in fact, I'm thinking of another idea as I write this! Don't forget to add some enamel hearts to your cart, too! 

 

Got Maps?

Before you recycle your paper maps, you should know that they are the perfect background for Eyelet Outlet Classic Car and Driving Brads! As well as cards, old maps work brilliantly as gift wrap; which, in this case, has been adorned with some EO Road Washi Tape to continue the car theme.
