Barbie's Hat & Shoe Boutiques

 This Christmas gift for my granddaughter has been one of my favorite projects in recent months! I hope she has as much fun playing with it as I've had making it for her.  

I created several felt hats for her Barbie dolls. I was inspired by a similar project I found on YouTube and created the pattern in Cricut Design Space. I cut the felt with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade. The fun really started once the hat was assembled because there is literally no end to the possibilities of embellishing these little cuties!  

Here are a few of them that I embellished with Eyelet Outlet products.

For this one I used a little green organza ribbon and an Eyelet Outlet Stitched Flower.brad.

This red hat became quite fancy when I added Eyelet Outlet Fancy Long Bling in Clear and Pearl.

The black Pearl Bling Strips were a wonderful complement to the little tulle and pearl embellishment that I had in my stash. 

This small blue and silver pearl brad was the perfect center for my felt flower.

I used my Cricut to create a gift box for the hats that also serves as a play prop.

And since I was also gifting a package of Barbie shoes, why not make a box for them as well!

The Eyelet Outlet Shoe & Purse brads were perfect in the window of my Boutique Box!

If you are a Cricut crafter and are interested in creating this project for a little one in your life, stop by my profile in Cricut Design Space for the full file for hat and boxes as well as complete instructions. 

NOTE:  Eyelet Outlet brads are not recommended for children younger than 8 years old.

 

Skating Snowman

 

Hello EO fans! It's suddenly very cold here and it made me think of snow and one of the things I have fun doing with my family - ice skating! In the Carolinas, there's only a few places to do that in the winter but I think a visit is due.

To make this card, I used a snowman die from Spellbinders and then decorated with many brads and some bling from the EO store. The background was embossed and the blue doily is from another die set in my stash. I had a lot of fun deciding what to put in this snowman's hands but settled on the wreath and ornament brads. I put a jaunty santa hat brad on his head to give him a little more personality. To bling it up a bit, I added two strips of clear jewel bling to the hat trim and pompom. His buttons are black pearl bling. The Snowman, Prancing Deer and Gift Brads were the final touches for this simple and fun card.

This Christmas Card Pops!

Do you give a lot of gift cards over the holidays?  I know I do so I wanted to make a cute Christmas card that is also a gift card holder and after adding some embellishments from Eyelet Outlet, they are just extra special now.

The front of the card is made with quite a few EO embellishments.  The background is Green Glitter Washi Tape with Silver Blocks Glitter Washi Tape layered on top.  That is where I built the Christmas scene.  The felt Rudolph is wearing an adorable Santa Hat Brad and has several Brown Jewels as little spots on his back.  He also has a cute Black Pearl eye and of course, a large Red Cut Jewel Bling for his nose.

The large felt present is surrounded by many little presents to include three Gift Brads right up front.

 It wouldn’t be a prefect Christmas scene without some snow, right? I added some 3-D snow on the bottom and some beautiful Snowflake Brads falling from the sky.

 

 Once you open the card, a cute gift bag pops up where you can place a gift card!

 

On the left side of the card, I embossed a Christmas tree and added two of the large Red Jewel Bling for sparkle.

The right side has the Ho Ho Washi Tape lining the top and bottom along with four of the Holiday Light Brads in each corner. To finish off the inside, I added a simple Merry Christmas sticker sentiment and added several of the Red Jewel Bling as the holly berries.

 

Thanks to all the easy extras I added to this card, I think anyone would just love to get it…even without a gift card…lol

Flowers and Butterflies

 

This card is a "Z" card. So, I needed

to decorate part of the inside that would also show

as well as the outside. I have been mesmerized by the

beautiful butterfly washi tape that Eyelet Outlet sells.

The colors are so pretty on these butterflies
and they look like watercolor. I used

this washi tape in the inside of the card and also to make 
a frame for the flowers that I matted in black.

The flowers I used are die cuts that I layered and then 
decorated  with a stiched flower brad from Eyelet Outlet
for the center. I used two black pearls on either
side of the sentiment. 

Finally I used the blue strip pearls from Eyelet Outlet
at the bottom of the card and also to
highlight the petals of the flowers.

Sunny Hello

 

So happy to use these glorious sunflowers from Eyelet Outlet.
I love the wide sunflower washi tape. I had to make
a quick thank you to someone and just picked out a
smaller card and used the washi tape across it. 
Came out so pretty and so simple for a quick card. 
On this card it added a wonderful border

I colored in my image which already included sunflowers 
so it was easy to embellish with the great sunflower brads.
I needed something other than yellow so did the
die cut in the background in blue. At then end
 I added small black gems to the flowers on the image.

Beer's To You

 Oh what fun this dragon was to create with a little bit of

St. Patrick's Day added too.The cute dragon is from Whimsy stamps and 

was colored in copics. Loved using the fun

sentiment from Eyelet Outlets Beer Set Stamps.

Eyelet Outlet always has a brad for everything and they did not
disappoint as I looked for beer-related brads. I think they
look great on the sides of this card, And, of course I love my
washi tape and even found some to decorate the bottom. I 
had just enought black pearl bling strips to add those to sides also.

several sentiment that you can choose from.

I tucked in a few bird brads and then the cute apple core brads.

Reindeer Greetings

 

This is a fun reindeer I constructed with a die cut from Spellbinders.
I added a bit of distress ink around the edges of the head then some
fun embellishments from Eyelet Outlet. 

I used plaid papers to add to the rustic feel then added a "Merry 
Christmas" washi tape to each side of the card. Of course I needed to pretty 
up the reindeer and I added a poinsettia brad to her ear. The square gems next
to the Merry Christmas sentiment fit in perfect. Finally I added a black pearl
on her nose and she is ready for Santa's sleigh.

Gold on Black Thank You Card

Hey everybody! I hope you had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a a pretty thank you card featuring our Gold Skinny Washi Tape and Black Pearl Bling! I did the bleaching technique on the stamped image on the front of this card and used a lighter-weight 80# cardstock this time (versus 100# cardstock I've used in the past) which yielded a sort of mottled effect that I thought looked really cool and added some texture.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering panel from black cardstock along with a gold metallic foil layering panel. I applied strips of our Gold Skinny Washi Tape in a diagonal fashion across the black cardstock panel (eyeballed it... didn't measure) and then adhered it to the gold metallic foil panel and then to the card base. I stamped the floral image in Versamark and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I painted the image with a brush and household bleach, and then used brushmarkers to color the bleached areas of the image. I die cut the image with the coordinating die set and adhered it to three more plain die cuts for a little dimension, and adhered the piece to the card front. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark on a scrap piece of the black cardstock and heat embossed it in gold, trimmed it, and adhered it to the card front with thin black foam squares. To finish off the front, I added some Black Pearl Bling. 

I cut the inside panel from light yellow cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Gold Skinny Washi Tape and two narrow strips of black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in black ink and layered the panel on the gold metallic foil cardstock. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!
