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.

Leslie's Favorite 2022 Projects

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing three of my favorite projects created this year with Eyelet Outlet products! I'm thrilled to have been invited to participate in this fun tradition that was started last year!

I love fun folds and Christmas is my favorite holiday, so it's no surprise that two of my three projects are Christmas cards and two are fun folds created with my Scan N Cut! The first fav in the line-up is my Merry Christmas Cardinals card featuring our Cardinal Brads, Cardinal Profile Brads, Female Cardinal Brads and Clear Jewel Bling Strips.

The card in the number two spot is my Happy Father's Day Lantern. This box card folds flat for mailing and features our Deer Brads, Pine Tree Brads and Sun/Cloud Brads.

 
And the final card in the line-up is my Heaven & Nature sing card, a Christmas card in traditional red and gray that features our Cardinal Brads and Cardinal Profile Brads along with Clear Jewel Bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

Christmas Cardinal Fun Fold

Hey everybody! I hope you had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty fun fold Christmas card... it's never too early to get started on those Christmas cards to avoid having to rush in an already busy season! This card features our Cardinal Brads, Cardinal Profile Brads, Female Cardinal Brads and Clear Jewel Bling Strips. I absolutely love cardinals. Many people believe that a loved one is watching over us if a cardinal appears, and that's what I always think of when I see one! ;)

I cut the card base from white cardstock, and the remaining pieces from light and dark gray, red and silver cardstock. I added a Cardinal Brad, a Cardinal Profile Brad and a Female Cardinal Brad to the birch trees, and then added a Clear Jewel Bling Strip down each side for a little festive bling. 

And the fun part is that this card folds flat for mailing!

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

Congrats Coin Purse for the Grad!

Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun gift card holder featuring our Light Pink Paper Flowers, Clear Jewel Bling Strips and a Silver Edge Clear Jewel Brad. I created this one for a graduation but the sky is the limit with regard to occasions and color schemes! I've had this cut file in my arsenal for many years and have made quite a few of these. This one is a little different in that I added pockets to the inside - one pocket holds a little graduation card and the other will hold a gift card.

I cut the base from a dotted ink-resist paper and inked it with light pink distress ink and then a slightly darker pink ink to darken it up just a bit. I cut the coin purse frames with clasps from pink cardstock and adhered them to the base. I adhered a Light Pink Paper Flower with a Silver Edge Clear Jewel Brad to the center front, and then added Clear Jewel Bling Strip around the front edge of the coin purse frame. I stamped a sentiment in pink ink, trimmed it and adhered it beneath the flower. 

I cut the inside pockets from a plaid patterned paper and punched half-circles in the tops before adhering them. I created a 'Happy Graduation' card to slip into one of the pockets cut from pink and white cardstock panels. I rounded the corners, stamped the sentiment in pink inks, and adhered the panels together. The bottom pocket awaits a gift card.

Getting Ready For Mother's Day!

Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty Mother's Day card featuring our Clear Jewel Bling Strips, White Pearl Bling Strips, Brown Enamel Dots and Glitter Brown Skinny Washi Tape! We have a local store who sells my commissioned Mother's Day cards every year, so I always get started on them several months ahead of time. I really love how this one turned out and I'm sure I'll be making a few more like this! 

I cut all the pieces from natural, brown, gold foil and coordinating patterned papers, assembled the card, and stamped the sentiment in brown ink. I added Clear Jewel Bling Strips to the dress which I colored with alcohol markers (did you know you can do that?!), pearls from a White Pearl Bling Strip around the neck of the dress form which I also colored with alcohol markers. I added several Brown Enamel Dots to the background, Glitter Brown Skinny Washi Tape strips down each side and a brown ribbon bow to complete the front. 

Here's a shot of the inside.

A Fairy House Complete With Fairies and Sparkle!

Hey everybody, hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun 3-D project with you today! Is there a special little girl in your life that would absolutely LOVE a fairy house complete with little fairies and sparkle?! If so, we've got you covered! This fairy house features our Fairy Brads and clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling Strips!

I cut all the pieces from brown, light brown, green, aqua, teal, yellow, magenta, orange and purple cardstock. I assembled the fairy house and added three Fairy Brads prior to adding the second base layer of the house for stability. I added several clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling Strips to the soffit for a little sparkle. I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock in orange ink, cut it with a stitched oval die, and adhered it to the front of the tree stump. The cool thing about this project is that it folds flat for mailing!

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