All You Have to do is BELIEVE

Gnomes have become so popular over the last few years, so when Eyelet Outlet brought out their BRAND NEW 2024 GIRL GNOME BRADS, I had to create a gnome themed card.

I inked the base with green, blue, and purple water-reactive inks and sprayed it with water.  I then dabbed the water away leaving the spotted, almost star-filled sky look.

 

I stamped a fairy on a swing and embellished her wings with Blue and Pink Jewel Bling. I added shimmer to the swing by adding some Black Jewel Bling.

 

Sitting on either side of the fairy are two of the cutest little Girl Gnomes ever!

 

I finished off the card by stamping several different magical forest looking plants, adding a stamped sentiment and then embellishing them all with more black jewel bling.

Such a fun and magical greeting card and All You Have to do is BELIEVE.

Thinking Of You

Talk about a fun card to create this week's creation for Eyelet Outlet is an adorable 4x4 specialty fold card made from using mostly different types and styles of washi tape.

The front of the card has four different types of washi tape as the base which include the Script Flower Washi Tape, the Bee Washi Tape, the Red Foil Washi Tape and the Flower Washi Tape where I hand-cut the roses and placed them on for movement. The focal point of the front of the card is made by using the Script Flower Washi Tape washy tape and one of the little girls from the Girl Washi Tape cut out and highlighted with the red border. A sweet sentiment was added along with several Jewel Strips - Black and 12mm Bling Jewels in Black on the front.

When you open the card, you get a flash of sparkle from the Red Swirl Bling
and the three Jewel Strips - Black that are sitting on top of the Floral Washi Tape
 pocket.

Sitting inside that pocket, is the cutest little card made from Script Flower Washi Tape  as the base and a hand cut red rose from the Flower Washi Tape as the focal point. I tied a black and white ribbon on the side and bejeweled this piece with several Jewel Strips - Black.

As you can see, many of the colors on this card were made strictly by using washi tape, so it does not matter what colors, types, or styles of card stock you have on hand, if you have a selection of washi tape from Eyelet Outlet, you are able to create a beautiful and unique greeting card at any moment.

Ring Around the Rosettes

This week's creation is different than anything I've made in the past. I wanted to make some cards, but I wanted them to be different. It just so happened that I got some extra fabric from a friend yesterday and decided to incorporate the different fabrics into my cards while using Eyelet Outlet’s embellishments to enhance them. 

I created six different rosettes out of the different fabrics and added matching bling or matching brads to the center of each rosette. From there, I was able to go in any direction I wanted as far on how to use the rosettes.

I started with the cards…one card is based around the Colored Daisy brads with a sunny yellow daisy in the middle of the rosette, a pink daisy around the sentiment, Gold Glitter Washi tape and two Yellow Stippled Jewel Brads in the corners. 

The second card is a basic black and white card that is embellished with many Black Stippled Jewel Blings, some corners off of the Black Swirl Bling and a large Black faceted Jewel Bling in the center of the rosette. 

The third card I created is a fun, everyday card with the rosette being made from fabric that had a farm theme.  

I had to add the bright red Truck Brad to the middle. They just looked like they were made to go together. Eyelet Outlet has some many cute choices, you will find something that will match whatever theme you are going for. 

On the outside of the card are several Black Stippled Jewel Bling as well as Black and Orange Bling. These cards are just so cute and so fun, and I cannot wait to send them to a friend.

With the other rosettes I made, I turned them into hair barrettes by gluing a basic hair clip to the back of each rosette. 

I do not know which one is my favorite between the Tropical Bird rosette ...

or the vintage country style fabric with the Jeans and T-shirt Brad. 

They are both adorable and would look beyond cute in any little girl's hair. 

Eyelet Outlets embellishments always jazz up your creations but as you can see here, they can also be the center of your creations without being overstated. LOVE.
