A Special Gift of Grace: Custom Bible Verse Card Box
Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones that help us share our faith with others. I recently finished this custom handmade box for my Pastor, and I’m so excited to share how it came together! Products from Eyelet Outlet makes this box beautiful and sturdy.
I wanted to create something functional and beautiful that would allow my Pastor to keep her favorite Bible verses organized. This box is perfectly sized to hold verse cards, making it easy for her to keep the ones she loves most or pull one out to give to someone in need of a little extra encouragement.
I started with sturdy white cardstock to ensure the box had a solid structure. Before cutting the base and top, I covered the cardstock in a gorgeous Floral Collage Washi Tape This doesn't just look pretty—the tape actually provides a naturally moisture and grime-resistant surface, making it durable enough to be carried in a purse or briefcase. Once the cardstock was "laminated" with tape, I cut and fashioned the box base and lid to my custom dimensions. To finish the top, I added a collection of symbolic brads from Eyelet Outlet to include a Lion, Sheep, Red Rose and three delicate Mini Butterfly Brads.I absolutely love how this turned out! It feels personalized and sturdy, and most importantly, it serves a beautiful purpose in spreading God's love. It’s a small way to support someone who spends so much time supporting others. If you'd like the cards I used here, they can be found on the Art Impressions Web site.
Thanks for stopping by today. Please stop by the Eyelet Outlet store to stock up on your brads, bling, washi tape, and paper flowers.

The Perfect Pairing: Books and Favorite Sips
Today I'm doing something a little different from my normal posts. This week I made three fun corner bookmarks that are embellished with brads and a little bling.
These were super easy to make thanks to a die set I used to cut and prepare the bookmark pieces out of cardstock. Before I closed each one into it's corner shape, I install the brads in the top scalloped section. Then I glued in a piece of light cardstock on top of the brad tines so that they wouldn't catch on book pages when they are used. After that was done, I glued the triangle shape together to form the finished bookmark.
These celebrate that we often drink a favorite beverage while cozying up with our favorite book. The first bookmark is embellished with a Book Brad and Wine Brads. The second has a cup of Joe and a coffee bean from the Coffee Brad Set. The last one has Cooler and Soda brads with three pieces of blue Jewel Bling. So whether you prefer wines, coffees, or soft drinks, these have you covered!

Sweet Treats & Sparkle: A DIY Valentine’s Twix Wrap
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and sometimes the best gifts come in the smallest (and sweetest) packages. If you’re looking to elevate a simple store-bought snack into a shimmering token of affection, this handmade candy bar wrap is the perfect project!
Today, I’m showing you how to dress up a standard Twix Bar using some of my favorite supplies from Eyelet Outlet.
The beauty of this project is that it is 100% customizable. While I designed this specifically for a Twix Bar, you can adapt this technique to any treat.
How to Measure:
Simply decide on the height you want for your wrap. Then, wrap your paper around the bar to measure the width, ensuring you leave enough overlap in the back to glue it securely.
Step-by-Step Design
Once your shimmer paper is cut to size, it’s time to layer on the love:
Add a Pop of Red: I cut a piece of red cardstock to act as a focal mat. I sized it so that when it’s centered on the wrapper, there is about a 1/4" border of shimmer paper peeking out from the edges.
Washi Wonder: Before gluing the red cardstock down, I covered the entire piece with Heart Washi Tape. It’s an instant pattern-maker!
Sentiments & Shapes: I stamped and fussy-cut a sweet Valentine sentiment along with a heart ephemera piece to serve as my centerpieces.
The "Bling" Factor: Eyelet Outlet Accents
The real magic happens with the embellishments. To give the wrap dimension and personality, I used a variety of Eyelet Outlet brads. I love using these because they act as both a fastener and a decoration!The Brads: I used two of each to create a balanced, whimsical look:
The Finishing Touch: To catch the light, I added two Heart Jewels for that final bit of Valentine’s sparkle.
Ready to Share!
Just wrap your decorated shimmer paper around the Twix bar, secure it with a bit of adhesive in the back, and you have a custom gift that looks far more expensive than a candy bar! It’s an easy, thoughtful way to show someone you care.Please stop by the Eyelet Outlet store to stock up on your brads, bling, washi tape, and paper flowers.
