It's a Wrap!

The Design Team and I have sure enjoyed bringing you our Christmas in July posts this month!  For our final post in this series, we thought we "wrap it up" with a focus on gift wrapping for the holidays with Eyelet Outlet's amazing products!

First up here's a easy tag featuring one of our best sellers, the beautiful Cardinal Brad perched on a pine branch from Cricut's 3D Floral Decor cartridge.  I flipped when I found this wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby after Christmas last year because it looked as if it was made for my tag!

Next is a simple tag using one of our sweet little Snowman Brads.  I attached him to a chipboard circle that I inked up in red which really added dimension to the tag.  And don't forget to add our eyelets to your tags!  They come in lots of sizes and colors!

Eyelet Outlet's Holiday Brads & Washi Tapes are amazing, but here's a little Christmas tag that features our Rifle Brad and our Glasses Brad!  I had so much fun putting this "Christmas Story" themed tag together!   I used the Cricut Explore to draw the crack for the glasses.   

I thought this grumpy looking Santa from Cricut's "Santa's Village" cartridge was perfect! He reminded me of the Santa that Ralphy visits in the movie. 

And lastly, this cute little Santa Suit from Cricut's "Christmas Cheer" is embellished with Eyelet Outlet Black Pearl Bling for buttons and then hung on an Eyelet Outlet Hanger Brad.

Thanks for stopping by and we hope you have lots of fun creating for the holidays with Eyelet Outlet products!

No one ever has to ask me (Lauren) twice when it comes to fancy giftwrapping, lol! it's one of my favorite ways to use my Eyelet Outlet goodies!

I love gift bags., because they're sooooooo convenient and easy to customize--especially if you happen to have lots of lovely Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape, which I do. Sometimes I decorate a little panel to go on top of the bag, but this time, I've applied the tapes right to the bag itself. I've used Merry Christmas Washi, Wide Tree Tape, Music Note Tape, Merry Christmas Skinny Tape, Heart Washi (not all the tapes have to be official "holiday" ones; music notes and hearts add to the vibe of any celebration, don't they?) and strips of Skinny Washi Tape in pink and green.

Once I had a nice base for the bag, I thought I'd add a tag; or in this case, a cluster of tags. I chose three different sizes and shapes of tag to combine, and I made one of them from a holiday themed transparency, so that you could see through it. I decorated the tags with a sweet stamped snowman from Pretty Pink Posh, to whom I've given a smart Bowler Hat, Pearl Bling Eyes, Tiny Brad Buttons. Then I added... you guessed it... more tape: Heart Washi, Holly Tape, Merry Christmas Washi, Skinny Heart Tape and a few more shades of solid color Skinny Washi Tape, some of which I overlapped, to get even more variety of widths!  

I couldn't resist adding a small Paper Flower with a Candy Cane Brad before I attached the whole cluster to the bag's handle with a bit of twine and called it done.

I hope you've enjoyed Christmas in July as much as I have! If you've missed any of the awesome Saturday posts they are all collected under the "Christmas in July" label... just click the link to see amazing inspiration from all of the designers! ♥

An enamel dot for the ball on the top of his hat ... a holly brad to embellish the corner of my panel ... and thin brown glitter washi tape to help ground the design ... TADA ... another super-cute holiday card for my stash.

I am so happy to be able to join in the final Saturday in July with a couple of tags I made with some Eyelet Outlet products.

On the tag on the left I (Barbara) used a super cute snowman brad and a wreath brad, since I didn't have snowflakes or enough white enamel dots I used shiny blue enamel dots

 On the tag on the right I used silver animal print washi tape for the background red rhinestone swirly bling for the ornaments on the tree and a super cute sock monkey with a santa hat on. He is on clearance if you want to stock up on your Christmas sock monkeys

Here I am with my last official post for the Eyelet Outlet Blog, the DT term is over. I will be participating in the last Christmas in July Saturday for the last one for the month. I have had a lot of fun designing for the Eyelet Outlet it has been fun trying to figure out different ways to use the products and I have learned a lot from the other design team members too.  I have always used the Eyelet Outlet Brads and had quite a nice collection too best of all now I'm not as washi tape challenged as I was.  So for my  card I used Purple pearl strips. 

The card is 4 1/4 X 6 1/4 I put the strip of purple beads around the outside edge of the die cut lattice and put single beads in the centers of the cuts.  I also used the beads for the bodies of the Butterflies.

The beads are perfect for the butterfly bodies

I just used the Smile die-cut as the inside can be finished for a birthday or for a get well or just thinking of you. 

The Pearl strips come in many colours and in rhinestone as well

the also co-ordinate with the swirly bling/pearls.

Check out the Eyelet Outlet Store for all your embellishments

Don't forget to visit the Eyelet Outlet Blog on Saturday for the last Christmas in July post and there will be two winners from the comments left on the blog.

Have an Awesome Day!!!

Christmas in July Week #4

Merry Christmas in July!!

Two lucky blog commentators will receive an early holiday gift from Eyelet Outlet.

Please post your comments on any of the July Saturday posts!

Splendid Saturday crafty friends!  Time for another "Christmas in July" inspiration for you! Today's project features a reindeer who's extra cool in his Eyelet Outlet Sunglasses!

The file is from LoveSVG.com.  They have wonderful free SVG's and if you purchase their affordable license you can have fun modifying the design with Eyelet Outlet products like I did with this design.  

In addition to the Eyelet Outlet Sunglass Brad, which also come in pastel shades,  I added an Eyelet Outlet Enamel Dot in red for the nose, one of our beautiful Snowflake Brads and our adorable little Snowman Brads!  A strip of some Pearl Bling for a little more texture and this card is ready for one of my extra cool friends!

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure and check back next Saturday for our final "Christmas in July" special Saturday post!  

Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards; joining Susan for Christmas in July.  

I'm sharing a card featuring a herringbone pattern using one of Eyelet Outlet's many Christmas themed Washi Tapes.  Today I'm using the Merry Christmas Washi Tape.  

 

The bold colors in this washi are great for creating a herringbone pattern.  Here's a slightly different version on one my favorites of Lauren's cards.  If you want to try it for yourself, there's a tutorial on the Freebies page.  Washi tape is perfect for this technique as it's so easy to work with; it's sticky backed and easy to maneuver because it's low tack.

After I completed the pattern, I embossed it with Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder; an overall poinsettia pattern.   I matted it on a slightly larger mat of white and then on a base of green.

  I pulled apart an old embellishment and put it in a pot adorned with Gold Glitter Washi.  To complete my focal point, I added three tiny jewels from the Swirl Bling pack.  I colored them with a yellow Copic before adding them.

A little tag tucked in the planter and the card was finished.

Who provided the inspiration for these cards?  Katy did!

 Hi it's Barbara and I'm so happy to be able to join Susan and other members of the design team for the Christmas in July Saturdays.  I love those ornament brads from the Eyelet Outlet Store.  they are the perfect size and come in beautiful colours to use on holiday cards.  Look at the adorable candy cane brad also from the Eyelet Outlet store. they look good enough to eat.  I hope you are enjoying the inspiration from  Christmas in July at the Eyelet Outlet.

It's Lauren here again with my Jingle Belles Christmas card for this week, to which I've added some of my favorite NON-holiday items from Eyelet Outlet. Yes, you read that right, this time I've chosen to accent a beautiful reproduction of a Thomas Nast illustration with Paper Flowers, a Pearl Brad and some Wide Flower Tape and technically none of those are even Christmassy! They look pretty festive though, don't you think?

In addition to not being a holiday tape, this gorgeous Wide Flower Tape is actually entirely black and white! But I liked how it looked with the vintage flora on the postcard, so I decided to add my own hand-tinting to the design with an alcohol ink marker, and I *love* how it looks!

I'm sure you have some pretty black and white tapes AND plenty of pens... how could you add color to make them YOUR OWN??!

A simple card can be glamorous with Eyelet Outlet bling, brads and foil washi tape.

This foil washi tape is amazing!  

Thanks for joining us again for this Christmas in July post.

Kitties in a Window

Good afternoon and a beautiful afternoon it is too.  Today on the Eyelet Outlet Blog I have  a super cute window card featuring brads from the Eyelet Outlet and Brads store. 

I had this idea a while ago and I had to wait until I has some flower brads, they are mini flowers from the Eyelet Outlet Store. Since I was using the flower box I thought the garden tools (also from the eyelet outlet store) would look cute and peeking out of the window are two black kitties dreaming about the beautiful sunshine.

Here is a closer look at the super cute brads 

Brads I used today:

Cat Brads (12 per pack black & white)

Garden tools (12 per pack fork & shovel)

Mini flower brads (minis also come in lady bugs, bees, leaves and mini birds)

Thanks for joining me today and have a wonderful week.

See you again next Tuesday at 12.01 PDT
