Winter Cardinals
Is there anything more lovely than a pair of beautiful cardinals sitting in a winter landscape?
Sadly, during this winter season we have had friends and family who have lost loved ones. I decided to create a sympathy card using the beautiful cardinal brads. Adding a few pops of winter green fir, the cardinal washi and pinecone brads finished off my simple card.

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons!
I am still creating Christmas cards for friends and family! And, since I love pretty paper and ribbons, thought it would be fun to try creating a card using a stack of presents!
I cut my card stock in various gift box sizes and covered with a variety of my favorite Eyelet Outlet washi tapes! I embellished with brads, bling, and ribbon! So cute, yet fun and easy! I hope you are inspired to try!

The Reason for the Season!
Celebrate the Reason for the Season!
I enjoy creating Christmas cards and love this slimline card idea! I created a card base using various trees for my background and added distress inks for shading. I then added a strip of the Cardinal Holly Washi tape mounted on cardstock. I cut and distressed my circle and added my sentiment, embellishing with the beautiful, detailed Cardinal brads and mounted with foam tape. Lastly, I added my creation on cardstock lined with the red and shite stripe washi.

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!

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.

Traditional or Non-Traditional Holidays?
Are you a fan of traditional holiday cards, or do you prefer non-traditional themes? I absolutely love traditional holiday cards and decorations! 
When I saw the Cardinal (and Female Cardinal) Brads, I knew that I wanted to pair them with some beautiful greenery and cones. I thought that they would be the perfect embellishment to dress up my card.
I roughed up the edges of my printed paper with a distressing tool, layered it on red cardstock and adhered it to my card base. I arranged the winter foilage around my circles and then tucked the sentiment tag under the foilage. I added the Cardinal Brads and then finished up with a metallic red bow and Red Glitter Enamel Dots.
I really love the traditional look of this card! I hope you do too.
Thanks so much for spending a few minutes with me!

Cherry Blossom Birthday Card
Hey everybody! Hope you had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty birthday card featuring our Female Cardinal Brads, Bluebird & Robin Brads and Mini Butterfly Brads! I cut the cherry blossoms on my Scan N Cut and they fit perfectly on this mini slimline card with very little edge trimming needing to be done.
I started by cutting the cherry blossom pieces from brown, light pink and medium pink cardstock, and assembling it. I cut a 3-1/2" x 6" mini slimline base from 110# white cardstock along with a pink textured layering panel. I adhered the cherry blossoms to the textured layering panel and stamped the sentiment in brown ink in the lower left corner. I added the Female Cardinal Brads, a Bluebird & Robin Brad and a Mini Butterfly Brad, and adhered the panel to the card base.
I cut the inside panel from 80# white cardstock, stamped the sentiment in brown ink and layered the panel on the pink textured cardstock used on the front.
Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Christmas Cardinal Fun Fold
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!

Have A Lovely Birthday!
Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty birthday card featuring our new Female Cardinal Brads which I paired with our Glitter Brown Washi Tape, Valentine Washi Tape and White Enamel Dots! Nothing like girls just hanging out jabbering to one another, lol!
I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock along with layering panels from white and brown cardstock, and rounded the top left and bottom right corners. I stamped the branch and flowers on the white panel, added three Female Cardinal Brads on the limbs, and added strips of Glitter Brown Washi Tape and Valentine Washi Tape across the bottom. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, cut it with a stitched oval die and adhered it to the bottom right. I adhered the layering panels together and then to card base, and added several White Enamel Dots to complete the front.
I cut the inside panel from white cardstock and embellished it with strips of the Glitter Brown Washi Tape and Valentine Washi Tape. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink and layered the panel on brown cardstock after rounding the upper left and bottom right corners.
