You Are Enough

Sometimes you just need to be reminded that You Are Enough. Making a simple card with some thought out well wishes could be just the perfect thing that somebody needs to read that day. I created this card with that thought in mind, hoping it will remind you that ‘You Are Enough’.

 

I used a method called quilling to create the cherry blossom petals. Quilling takes time and patience, and many (like me) find it extremely relaxing and cathartic.  You take tiny strips of paper and roll them into circles and form them into a shape. 

As you can see, each one of the blooms have five individually quilled petals formed in a teardrop shape with an Eyelet Outlet Pearl from the Multi-Sized Bling Sheets in light pink and pink adorning the center of each. Cherry blossoms always seem to attract the most beautiful flying creatures, so I added three fluttering dragonflies from the Dragonfly Brads. 

And perching on the top of the cherry blossom tree is a beautiful cardinal from the Cardinal Profile Brads reminding you that you are never alone and that ‘You Are Enough’.

Tiled Washi Tape Christmas Card

Eyelet Outlet's Christmas Sayings Washi Tape features eight different 1 x 1.75" vintage postcard designs. For this card they've been stuck to plain white cardstock and cut apart, to make a tiled background. The sentiment and diecut flower pick up on the lovely colors in the tape, and also provide a place for a Poinsettia Brad, a Cardinal Profile and a pair of Holly Brads. 

Holiday cardmaking is faster, easier and a lot more fun when you have Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tapes to help out!

Tis the Season

Halloween is over and that means the Holidays are fast approaching! My favorite time of the year is now through the new year. 

When you love Eyelet Outlet products like I do, you are always thinking about how they can be used to upscale stamps and dies. Here I used a set I recently got from Spellbinders to create a pretty wreath. It makes a great wreath but I think you'll agree that it so much better with the brads and bling I added to it!

I used two circle dies to cut a donut shape out of white glitter cardstock and then I cut and arranged all the basic wreath pieces using brown and three shades of green. I also cut and put together the bow. Then I added Bell Brads, Poinsettia Brads, Candy Cane Brads and Holly Brads to the wreath. I perched a female and male cardinal on the bow and added red Jewel Bling from the multi-pack. To create a stopper for my easel card, I added Green Cut Jewels to a red glitter border. I adhered a pre-printed foiled sentiment, "Tis The Season," which spreads across the wreath. All in all, this turned out even better than I expected!

Hear the Quiet

I don’t know about you, but I start making my Christmas cards in June.  I love to design and create an individual and unique card for each and every one on my list and let me tell you, it’s a pretty big list.  But with all the fun and inspiring accessories available from Eyelet Outlet, I have no problem doing just that!

This simple, yet beautiful card measures 6.5” x 5”. I’m not one that sticks to the conventional card sizing guidelines. I let the card be the size it turns out to be and then make an envelope that will fit it. 😊 

To create this peaceful winter scene, I sat a Cardinal brad and a Cardinal Profile brad upon a tree branch that hovers over three Pine Tree brads with added snow. The wallpaper is adorned with 4mm Clear Jewels to give it that extra holiday sparkle. The final touch is the festive Wreath brad hung above the windowsill.

Pine & Dandy

 When I saw this beautiful digital paper set called "Woodland Forest Friends" from CreativeBu on Etsy, I knew it would pair so perfectly with Eyelet Outlet's pinecone brads.

I created this little gift bag in Cricut Design Space by slicing the image in two and applying the digital paper just to the bottom half.  I cut a pine branch from cardstock and added the pinecones, a couple of snowflake brads, and the cardinal brad to finish it off.  

I think this little bag turned out "Pine & Dandy," don't you?

Susan Creech can't resist a good pun!

For that matter, I even like bad puns!

May Your Season Sparkle!

 

 Hello EO fans! It's Janet here again to share another of my holiday cards featuring Eyelet Outlet products. This is a slimline card. I backed the border with Sparkle White Glitter Tape and it provides a nice contrast to the dark red border. I used it also as a mat. I added a Cardinal Profile Brad, Female Cardinal Brad, and a Holly Brad. In the background I used the Snowflake Brads which come in various sizes. 

Here's a close up of the brads used in the card. You can see the Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape in the border also. It adds a nice shine.
