Susan's Top Love Notes

I've made quite a number of love themed cards through the years.  I often give a few in gift box to brides to be as a shower gift and of course, I give one to my love on Valentine's Day. Choosing my top 3 favorites was more difficult than I expected it to be!

I'm always up for a funny/punny card and I especially love using Eyelet Outlet brads in unique ways, so this love note/Valentine card from 2017 featuring the Eyelet Outlet pig and cloud brads had to make my top three list. 

Also from 2017, another favorite was this card featuring the Eyelet Outlet coffee bean brad.

Last year was my "Shaker Card Period" and here's one of my favorites from that collection.  This card features some of Eyelet Outlet's many shine and bling products.  I used the star sequins inside the shaker as well as some stick on gems on the eye glasses and here and there between the enamel hearts.  You'll want some of our beautiful silver glitter star washi tape, too, I'm sure!  

Thanks for being with us as we look back on our favorite love notes and Valentines,

Leave A Little Sparkle

Good Thursday morning, crafters!  Today I've got a card for you with lots of sparkle!  For this shaker card I used a dress from the Cricut image. Using the slice tool, I created the cut out.  I filled my shaker window with beautiful pink and white Eyelet Outlet sequins. 

I also embellished my card with clear swirl bling and a few pink and clear stick on jeweled gems.  Our purse and shoes brads coordinated perfectly with my pink dress, too!

Thanks for stopping in and be sure to leave a little sparkle wherever you go today!

Winter Wonderland

 Today's card entitled 'Winter Wonderland' reminds me of a blustery day in the forest and finding a beautifully decorated tree!   I would love to do that!

The Stamps of Life Tree Die makes a wonderful tree to decorate.  Using Eyelet Outlet Enamel Dots, Sticky Back Jewels, Ornaments, and a Sticky Back Jewels for the tree topper, the tree comes alive!  Oh, let's not forget the Eyelet Outlet Deer Brads and the Snowman Brad (from the Snow Couple set).   With a simple, hand-cut snow bank and snowflake pattern paper, the scene is complete.

Have you browsed the Eyelet Outlet website to find what you would put on your tree?  Go on and head over there; it's fun to see the large variety of bling, washi tape, brads, enamel dots, and more.  Make a tree, decorate it, and then share it in our Eyelet Outlet Fan Page on Facebook; we'd love to see it!

Be Safe.  Be Well.  Happy Crafting!

Snowflake

 Today's card entitled "Snowflake" is a simple but elegant card with lots and lots of bling!

.

The Eyelet Outlet Glitter Dark Blue Washi Tape creates the 'paper' for the snowflake die cut.  Strips of the tape are laid down side by side on cardstock and the Memory Box Extra Large Snowflake Die cuts through it beautifully.  The Eyelet Outlet Clear Sticky Back Jewels add just the right touch of sparkle and shine to the snowflake.

The Anna Griffin word die "believe' is placed at the bottom of the card.  Again, the Eyelet Outlet Glitter Star Washi Tape is laid down side by side on cardstock to create a 'paper'.  The word die cut provides an ombre effect complimenting the card.  

Once the die cuts are completed,  distress inks create the mood of the card.  In this case, Speckled Egg is used in the center of the card and it fades out to Hickory Smoke along the edges.  The snowflake and word are glued down and the Eyelet Outlet Skinny Silver Washi Tape is applied to the card edges.

If you are looking for a fast, blingy holiday card, this may be the one for you!  

Be Safe.  Be Well.  Happy Crafting!

Old Fashion Christmas

Today wishing you an old fashion Christmas with a card that has a real retro vibe.  The ornament box image is from KB&Friends Etsy shop and I've filled it with Eyelet Outlets amazing Ornament brads.  

I added another ornament brad to the tree branch as well as a few stick on gems to add a touch of sparkle.

A Blue Gift Bag

 

As we are heading into the holiday season we begin to think about holiday trees, ornaments, gift wrap, and even gift bags.  Today's entry is a Gift Bag that is fun and easy to create using Eyelet Outlet's Washi Tape and Sticky Back Jewels. 

 

 

The gift bag is perfect for giving a bottle of wine or non-alcoholic beverages.  Although the bag has large embossed stars all over it, with Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape and Embellishments, I knew there was more decorating to be done to this inexpensive, dollar store bag.

First I found a coordinating piece of cardstock and trimmed it to less than the width and length of the bag.  Then the cardstock was edged with Blue Glitter Washi Tape adding sparkle and shine to the package.    Several strips of the Washi were placed on white cardstock laying them side-by-side creating a paper that was used to die cut the stars.  Eyelet Outlet's Sticky Back Clear Jewels are placed on each star to add further sparkle.

                                                                                      

 The decorations are completed by adding one of my favorite stamp-die sets from Julie Nutting called "Rudi" and also adding a greeting.  This is a fun project and a great way to 'dress up' an ordinary dollar store bag!  Give it a try and share it on the Eyelet Outlet Fan Page!  We love to see your creations!

Head on over to the Eyelet Outlet site and check out all of the Washi Tape and Jewels to dress up your holiday gift bags.

Be Safe.  Be Well.  Happy Crafting
