Celebrating Witchy Summerween

 

Some in the card world have coined the phrase Summerween to celebrate the Halloween season in the middle of the year. Here's one of my favorite Halloween cards made while on the EO Design Team. This is a pull tab pop-up card. Pull down the tab which cleverly warns, "Do not pull" and a witch pops up from behind the gravestone. Super fun and clever.

What makes this card really pop are the many EO brads of the season. Pumpkins, witch hats, black cats, bats and more make this one a lot of fun. Hope you enjoyed a flash into both the past and the future to celebrate the Halloween season!

Shopping List:

Witch Hat Brads
Pumpkin Brads
Sun & Cloud Brads
Cat Brads - Black

Trick or Treat

It's almost time to Trick or Treat and these adorable critters are ready to go! Any set of adorable characters can be dressed up for Halloween, Christmas or a birthday party with a few Eyelet Outlet brad styles. The mummy bear has donned a Mustache Brad; the unicorn kitty is sporting a Tiara and Eye Glass Brads; the dashing dachshund has his Top Hat on and has invited a Long Dog friend to accompany him. Some Black Cat Brads obviously wanted to join the party and it would hardly be a spooky occasion without Bat and Pumpkin Brads. Thee handsome Frog Brad is wearing a Witch's Hat... or possibly... a powerful witch has been temporarily turned into a frog? Either way, this Boo Crew is definitely going to collect lots of candy and maybe win some prizes at the costume party! A mat of Spider Washi Tape is the perfect finishing touch to any creepy, kooky card.

Spooky Boos To You!

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! Today I broke out the Halloween vibes. This is a Peek-A-Boo (literally) card style. When you pull on the side, a pop-up mechanism pushes up the surprise. In this case it's a couple of ghosts that rise up above the graveyard scene.

 Of course this scene is perfect for lots of Halloween brads. Bat Brads are hanging out in the purple sky and a Sketch Owl Brad is perched on the tree branch. A Cat Brad is also standing near the mean looking tree. Ghost Brads are included in the Pop-Up and attached to the bigger paper ghost. Another Ghost Brad is located to the upper right of the tree. 

This is a super fun card to make and to give, especially with all the great Brads from Eyelet Outlet to take it to the next level!

Trick or Treat!

My husband and I used to live in a town where Halloween was a very big deal! We loved sitting out in lawn chairs each year passing out tons of candy to the kids who entertained us with the most creative costumes we've ever seen.  We miss those days now that we live way out in the country on a private road and the trick-or-treaters don't come by. 

Today's make reminded me of those happy times.  It's a side edge card that I created in Cricut Design Space.  The mummy image was cute on it's own, but when I added the Eyelet Outlet eye brads, it really took him to a new level.

Inside his Halloween treat bucket is one of the new black cat brads going along for a ride.  I also added a bat brad to the moon in the background.  

If you're a Cricut crafter and would like to give this project a try, here's a link to the Design Space file. I'd love for you to follow my Cricut profile, too!

 

Witching You a Happy Halloween Interactive Card

Hello everyone! Are you a big Halloween fan? I sure am! I have so much fun with Halloween because there's so many fun images out there to work with. This is an interactive pull tab card made with a new set from Diamond Press called Boo to You. When you pull the tab, you get to see the witch pop out from behind the tombstones. This die and stamp set seems like it was made for Eyelet Outlet embellishments! They enhance this card perfectly! 

The set comes with clear instructions and the dies and stamps needed to make this pull tab card. Before assembling it, I added all the cute EO brads. The pumpkin is sporting a Witch Hat Brad. There are two Cat Brads-Black on top and in front of tombstones. A Pumpkin Brad sits to the right of the main tombstone. Two Ghost Brads and a Bat Brad are floating in the background. Finally, I used a Cloud Brad in front of the orange moon. Super cute!

The background is framed with bold orange and black Halloween Dot Washi Tape.

Boo! Candy Corn and Cats

 I know it's only July but as card makers, we tend to think ahead for the next season. Such is the case for today's Halloween themed card. I am so excited to have two new brads available in the newest release from Eyelet Outlet. The first is Candy Corn Brads. They are a great size and true to the colors of that traditional candy treat. Cats Brads - Black are also new. They fit wonderfully in Halloween cards but can also have year long application. The cats have either white or neon green eyes so I feel that the green eyed cats are perfect for the spooky season and the white eyes are for year around use.

In this card, I have the cats peaking around the edge of the pumpkin and handing out at the opening. The standing cat also works nicely at the base. Two of the peaking cat styles are not full bodies which make it very handy to get the look of them peaking without having to hide the full body. This card also features the Bat Brads and Halloween Washi-Hat and Broom. 

The Candy Corn Brads stack nicely with the Peppermint Candy Brads. Although you might think these are for winter holidays, the purple and yellow peppermints are actually perfect colors for Halloween too! The stacked look of the brads, including the cat work really well on the Halloween Pumpkin which I cut from Cricut Design Space. Overall, this was a quick card to put together, especially when the brads and washi tape do most of the work!

Haunting

 

Halloween is just around the corner and Eyelet Outlet has adorable
items to help make your Halloween cards shine. This card used
images from Tim Holtz - colored with Copic markers.
I added the Eyelet Outlet Halloween washi tape on the top
and bottom of the card.

Then came the fun brads from Eyelet Outlet. The sentiment was
attached with the screw brad (and they do look like
real screws). The bats came next and I think
they were a great addition to fill this card
with spooky items.

Candy Corn Delight

 I can hardly believe that Halloween weekend is next week! Time does indeed fly doesn't it? Guess what else flies? Well, a witch of course and it happens to be the theme of my card for you today.

I used several Halloween washi tapes and brads to make a fun gate fold card. To begin, I cut the candy corn shapes out of colored cardstock on my Cricut machine. This is an easy shape and you could also easily sketch the candy corn shape and cut the pieces out. I used yellow and orange cardstock for the bottom layers. The washi tape I chose has a white background but the yellow and orange cardstock colors peak through the background of the washi tape. This allows me to get the traditional color scheme for candy corn. 

I used three washi tapes for the side panels. On the left is Skull Washi Tape and Boo Washi Tape. On the right I used a single strip of Wide Wood Washi Tape. The bottom layer of the candy corn is Gnome Fall Washi Tape. The middle layer is Hat and Broom Washi Tape. The top is Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape. 

I used many brads on the right panel. They include the Vacuum and Broom Brads, Bat Brads, Witch Hat Brads and Witch Leg Brads. This wouldn't be my card if I didn't add some bling so the final touch are Orange Pearl Bling from the multi pack. The entire list of products are below. 

Shopping List:

Orange Pearl Bling - Multi

Gnome Fall Washi Tape

Hat and Broom Washi Tape

Too Cute to be Spooky

These sweet witches in their spooky scene are already pretty cute, but they're exponentially more adorable when Eyelet Outlet Halloween Brads join the fun. The addition of a Witch Hat, a handsome Bat Brad, a mischievous Kitten checking out a Pumpkin, a cute but creepy Spider and some pink Rose and Colored Daisy Brads make the illustration come to life; then a double mat of Glitter Black Tape and Halloween Dot Washi tie it all together.

Stay tuned to the Eyelet Outlet Blog for more Halloween and Thanksgiving projects to make your Autumn Crafting FALL into place!
