The Bloom Bag

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a gift bag decorated with Eyelet Outlet embellishments.  Eyelet Outlet has lots of products to turn an ordinary gift bag into personalized and special gift packaging.

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!

Musical Thanks

 
Hello and Happy Easter! My card today is a musical themed thank you card. I play flute at my church and the church pianist helps me pick music and practices with me, mostly out of the goodness of her heart and love of music. I’m always looking for a musical themed card to thank her after each time I play. This one works perfectly and the EO brads and bling make it extra special.

By the way, be sure to visit the EO store. ALL bling is now $1 until it’s gone. Take advantage of great deals and get your bling now!

So back to the card. This is on an A2 metallic gold card base. I cut a grand piano and a piano keyboard with dies. I made a strip border with white cardstock and added Instrument Washi Tape as an accent. I embossed a white panel with a thanks themed folder, then placed the washi tape accent on top. The keyboard and piano die are placed and then I add the accents. First are the Music Note Brads. Then I added yellow rose brads. The finishing touches are the 12mm Clear Jewels and White Pearl Bling. 

I love how this one turned out and I know my pianist will really appreciate this and will display it in her home. I can’t wait to give it to her!

Music Note Brads

SHORE Thankful For You

I've had my beach themed brads out on my craft desk the last few weeks and have had a great time creating different projects with them.

Today I have a thank you card to share with you featuring Eyelet Outlet's amazingly realistic shell brads and sea shore brads. I created sort of a shaker card with a window in the card base with my Cricut and covered the opening in the bottle with acetate. I fastened the brads in the bottom layer. There's a little crab brad passing by, too. I topped it off with a few clouds floating by in the sky and I love how this turned out!

Hoppy Easter One and All!

Easter is almost here and I'm so excited for it! Today's card is a sweet scene with all the things. And of course, the products from Eyelet Outlet make this card truly special.

To make my card, I started by creating a watercolor background on watercolor paper. Then I used a stencil to apply blue metallic paste in a paisley pattern. Once everything was dry, I cut it the panel down to fit on my card and began applying all the elements that make up this scene. I created a grassy hill with a die and added Tulip Brads. I colored a rabbit and made an egg with a grass background. The sentiment is stamped on the egg. Then I arranged Colored Egg Brads and Chick Brads to the scene. The final touches are two Butterfly Brads and several jewels in pink and blue. The result is the cutest Easter card full of pretty spring colors and adorable elements.

Colored Egg Brads
Chick Brads
Tulip Brads

Jewel Bling - 100 Ct in Blue

See these brads and all of our beach, summer, vacation brads under the "Vacation Summer Brads tab on at Eyelet Outlet.com
