Gnome for the Holidays

 I just can't get enough of Eyelet Outlet's new gnome brads!  Today I've used the ones with red and green hats on a punny little card.

The needlepoint image is from Cricut's "Everyday is a Holiday" image set.  I used the hide contour function to replace the needlepoint gnomes with the darling gnome brads and the new snow covered tree brad.   I also topped the tree with a small heart brad and added a strip of Christmas Patterned Washi Tape.  I liked the stitching on this tape and thought it went great with the needlepoint image, but any of our Christmas themed tapes would work.

Just 66 more days until Christmas, so let's get busy on those holiday cards! If you're a Cricut user and would like to create this card, here is a link you can follow to make it. I've even added the holes for perfect placement of your brads!

Another Trio of Holiday Favs

 

This dishes are done and there are plenty of left overs in the fridge.

It's time to get your craft on and create your holiday cards.

Here are 3 more ideas to consider!

Are you a Washi Tape Lover?

 

Create your own patterned paper using various washi tape in the Christmas/holiday theme.

Putting them at an angle is pleasing to the eye!

How about paper flowers?

Layer our red Paper Flowers with a cardstock cut out...add some pearl bling...

and cut the green paper flowers to add the leaves.

The magic of Christmas makes a poinsettia!! Wow!

Are you one who is eagerly looking for Santa?

Our Mr. & Mrs. Claus Brads make a great focal point on your card,

without having to color them in. This is especially helpful when you are mass producing cards!

Other supplies:

Wreath Brad

Bling Strip

Do you like the style of A Country Christmas?

Create a Barn Door by making 2 scores that have the edges meet in the middle.

Bend our Pewter Round Brads to create the door handles.

Decorate as desired. Here is used the following:

I hope these cards from the past get your creative mojo flowing.

Take a look through your stash and make these ideas your own...

Wishing you the happiest of Christmases and a healthy, peaceful New Year!

Under the Tree

The new Eyelet Outlet Gift Brads are fairly awesome on their own, but of course the best place for them is under a Christmas Tree, right? So that's where I (Lauren) have put them.

In this case the tree --decorated with Green Pearl Bling and a Glitter Enamel Star-- is stamped and the room is composed of five different EO Washi varieties: Gold Script Tape, Heart Washi, Wood Tape, Star Gold Tape and Christmas Pattern Washi, to be precise. But maybe my favorite thing is the art on the wall: a Nutcracker Brad, matted on a little scrap of Wood Tape, diecut into a frame shape.

A latte Christmas wishes!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a card with a latte Christmas wishes on it! I couldn't believe I had a die matching the sentiments on these little coffee cups! How lucky was that?! I also used some of our festive Christmas washi tape and a few of my favorite enamel dots!

I created a landscape top-folding A2 card base from white cardstock along with white layering panels for the front and the inside. I also cut red textured cardstock panels for the front and inside, and then rounded all four corners on all the panels. I applied a strip of Christmas Pattern Washi Tape vertically down the left side of the front red panel, then added three Holiday Coffee Cup Brads and three White Enamel Dots. I stamped the first part of the sentiment in green ink and adhered a white layered die cut just below it to complete the front sentiment. 

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

A traditional Merry Christmas wish!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a super cute Christmas card in traditional red and green featuring some pretty awesome washi tape, brads and bling!

I created a side-folding A2 card base and a slightly smaller panel from textured red cardstock, then cut a smaller panel which I covered with Christmas Pattern Washi Tape. I die cut letters spelling M-E-R-R-Y from green foil-covered cardstock and added them to the panel. I perched a Santa Hat Brad on the M at an angle and added two Stocking Brads at the end just past the Y. I stamped 'Christmas' in green ink on white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it beneath the main part of the sentiment. I finished off the front by adding a few green 8 mm Cut Jewels. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!
