Presents from Santa!

Santa's bag is brimming with goodies and they're spilling out for you to enjoy! This little variation of a buckle card is created in Cricut Design Space and the buckle portion of the card is held in place when the card is closed by a little circle embellished with an Eyelet Outlet Candy Cane brad.  


Spilling out of Santa's bag I used one of the gingerbread kids, a nutcracker brad, a sweet little sock monkey brad and a gift brad

Here's what the card looks like when it's opened.


Thanks for stopping in today!

Sweet Holiday Wishes from the Gingerbread Kids

Ever since Eyelet Outlet introduced the Gingerbread Boys & Girls a few years back, I always look forward to using them in some of my holiday projects. Today I used them in a sweet little Christmas card. 


The gingerbread house is from Cricut Design Space. I cut the white layer from white glitter iron-on and used my Cricut Easy Press to adhere it to the brown card stock layer of the house. Iron-on works amazingly well on card stock, by the way.  


I added a few red enamel dots to the house and of course, the gingerbread kids are at the door. I added a few of our brand new retro Christmas tree brads to either side of the house, too.

Be sure and check back soon, because I have another fun project I'll be sharing soon that also uses the gingerbread kids.

Mrs. Claus Cookie Company

When I finished this buckle fold card I had the biggest craving for some gingerbread!  


Mrs. Claus is so cute and her kitchen is so perfectly adorned with fabulous Eyelet Outlet products!


I created this card with my Cricut and if you're a Cricut crafter, too, I've shared the file for this card on my Cricut profile so you can recreate it.

Sweet Christmas Wishes

Good morning crafters! I'm quite hooked on buckle fold cards lately! They are such a fun way to use patterned cardstock!


And when your cardstock just happens to perfectly complement some of your Eyelet Outlet brads, then it's all the more fun!  Today I used a few of our gingerbread kids and a candy cane on the front of the card, but we also have holly and tree brads at Eyelet Outlet that would have been very cute, as well!


We love to see how you are using Eyelet Outlet on your holiday crafts, so be sure and come by our Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook Group and share your projects with us!

Merry FIT-mas & Happy New REAR!

 My husband and really enjoy our fitness programs at the local YMCA.  We've made many friends and especially appreciate the encouraging and helpful staff, so I made them a special Christmas card this year.'

This sentiment from Cricut Design Space absolutely cracked me up when I saw it and I knew it was going to be perfect for their card. I added a little holly brad to the front.


This is called and accordion fold card.  Here it is fully opened. I used a fitness themed digital paper from azredhead Happy Heart Studios on Etsy called "Be Happy, Be Well" and other images from Cricut Design Space.


But the star of the show were the brads I used.  In all my years as a member of Eyelet Outlet Design Team, this was the first time I ever used the sneaker brads on a Christmas card!


Sweets are one of my weaknesses, so I added a few candy cane brads.and a gingerbread man.


Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday from Eyelet Outlet!

It's a family tradition...

 Do you have family Christmas traditions?


With Christmas only days away, it is time to start our Christmas goodie baking! We love baking together and making memories as a family! I thought this 6x6 card would be a cute "invite" to come bake Christmas cookies! I started with the adorable gingerbread cookie image and colored her in using alcohol markers. I added the matte red enamel dot for her holly berry and green glitter enamel dots to her dress for additional sparkle! I created a banner for the bottom using the black glitter washi to border my "cookies" sentiment. Lastly I embellished with the adorable gingerbread brads!
I hope you have time this holiday season to make memories that will last a lifetime!

A Visit with a Gingerbread Couple

Eyelet Outlet Gingerbread Brads are about as cute as it gets already, but... they're even more adorable in front of a Gingerbread Cottage, with a Gingerbread Washi sky, and "landscaping" made of Candy Cane and Peppermint Candy Brads. The cottage is trimmed out with Sparkle White Glitter Tape icicles and a Heart Enamel with a sentiment from Foil Red Stripe Washi.


There are lots more holiday brads, tapes and bling available in the Eyelet Outlet Store!

Pretty paper... pretty ribbons... pretty Christmas tags!!

 Do you enjoy Christmas gift wrapping, ribbons, tags, and all the pretty things?? I do! 


Wrapping Christmas presents is one of my favorite things to do! So, I am hoping that having a few Christmas tags ready to go will make it even more fun! I enjoyed creating a variety of tags and even created a "bookmark" style one for any book lovers on your gift giving list!


These 2 tags highlight the adorable brads from the new Christmas set called, Santa Deer Brads! I even added a few pearl brown jewels and black glitter washi! So fun!


On these 2 Christmas tags, I focused on the adorable little red truck brads! I added the black glitter washi as my "road" and filled the truck bed with a Christmas tree and presents! I think this little truck is absolutely adorable! 

Lastly, I created a fun gingerbread theme gift tag and a snowflake bookmark that could also be used as a gift tag! I love the versatility of the crafting products by Eyelet Outlet! See my shopping list below! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Designer Susan's Top 3 Holiday Picks

I've been on the Eyelet Outlet Design Team for quite a few years now and it's a little bit hard to pick my top three holiday projects, but after some deliberation, and without further ado, here they are...

NUMBER THREE

In 2018 I created this card using Cricut brand adhesive foil and bling from Eyelet Outlet, which is the most beautiful bling you will ever find!  I made this card in several different colors that year and the bling possibilities were endless. One trip to our bling section at the Eyelet Outlet store and you will see what I mean. This card was a favorite because even though I made several, they were all uniquely different and they practically made themselves!  


Specific bling used for this card:

Snowflake Bling


NUMBER TWO

My gingerbread house gift box had to be included in my top three favs! The recipient thought the box was the gift!  I used a gable box from the Cricut image library for this project.  The roof lifts off to reveal the gift inside.  Can you count the Eyelet Outlet products on this one?  


Prancing Deer Brad


NUMBER ONE

The sweet smiling face of my granddaughter when she received this Advent Calendar I made for her last year made Number One an easy pick for me! It's constructed from cardstock and the SVG is from My Scrap Chick.  I embellished the drawers with dozens of Eyelet Outlet products.  



I'm sure you'll notice all of the products used above on the gingerbread box as well as these additional products:  


Thanks for joining us this week as we reminisce on our favorite holiday projects.

Gingerbread Cornhole Game

I've been busy crafting little games and gifts for my grandkids this week and I'd like to show you this fun desktop cornhole game I made for my granddaughter.  This game is made from cardstock and measures about 12 long.  I got the SVG file for this project from Simply Crafty SVG's, but I modified it to made it gingerbread themed.



I embellished the gingerbread house with an Eyelet Outlet peppermint candy brad, red and green enamel dots, and gingerbread kids on either side of the house.  I also added gingerbread kids, candy cane, and peppermint candy brads to the felt bean bag game pieces that I hand stitched.


Thanks for stopping by today!
Keep on crafting!

Mrs. Claus' North Pole Bakery

This card was much harder to make than meets the eye. The mechanics of it were simple enough, but I had the hardest time choosing which brads to use in Mrs. Claus' Bakery!!  Mrs. Claus, of course, was easy enough, but with so many baking and cooking brads in the Eyelet Outlet Store, the choices were hard to make!  

At the end of the day I paired Mrs. Claus with the mixer brad, oven mitt from the cooking brad set, and the gingerbread boy and girl. Visit our food, drink, and cooking section at Eyelet Outlet and you'll see why I had such a hard time choosing!

Christmas Ornaments

I've been getting ready for Christmas lately and having so much fun creating felt ornaments for my tree and incorporating Eyelet Outlet products in the designs.  


I ironed Wonder Under fusible webbing to the felt, peeled off the paper backing and then cut the pieces with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade.  I assembled the pieces and pressed with a damp pressing cloth to adhere them and then added the different Eyelet Outlet brads and sequins to the ornaments before hand stitching the rounds together, tucking a bit of batting inside before taking the final stitches.

Let's Get Baked with Eyelet Outlet Gingerbread & Baking Embellishments!

 

Hello Ai fans! I'm just not able to stop Christmas crafting so I guess I give up! I'm going to keep throwing in a Christmas card or two each month until the big day arrives! 

I started this card by cutting the doily and phrases for this card with a file in Cricut Design Space. I cut the doily in a beige cardstock but decided to ink it up with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to give it a more "baked" look. I sprayed the inked doily with Glitter Dust and white iridescent spray. As it dried, I covered a 6 x 6 card panel with black and gold foil washi tape. On the doily, I placed the words and inserted the brads from the Gingerbread Set and the Baking Set. Then I glued the doily to the washi panel. To finish the card, I placed several different sizes of Black Pearl Bling on the card.


Thanks for stopping by today. Remember, it's never too early for a good baking!

Happy Creating Everyone!

Advent Calendar

My youngest granddaughter is the perfect age for an Advent calendar this year - big enough not to swallow little toys and yet little enough to still like Dollar Store trinkets, so when I saw this amazing Advent calendar file at My Scrap Chick I knew I had to have it!  A shout out to Tracy Rushton who designed it!  It's an engineering marvel in my opinion!  The file includes a PDF version in the event you don't have a die cut machine.  

The most fun was decorating the faces of the 25 boxes using various images from the Cricut image library and many embellishments from Eyelet Outlet.  


I'll do my best to spot all of them and link to them at the end of the page!  


Wishing all of our Eyelet Outlet fans a Happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Gingerbread House Gift Box

The weather has started turning cooler here in Central Texas, so it's easier to turn my attention to Christmas crafts than it was when we were still in the 90's.  Today I've got a great little gift box to show you that is loaded with awesome Eyelet Outlet embellishments!


This gable box is from the Cricut Sweet Tooth Boxes image set. The roof has a slit in the center that slips over the handle of the box and lifts off to open which I thought was so clever.  Placing the brads on the box is super simple if done before actually assembling the box.  

I thought the holiday red and green enamel dots were a great way to embellish the scallops on the roof, but any of our stick on gems would also be cool.  

For snow around the base of the box I used a strip of silver glitter washi tape. I added a wreath brad to the door and some holly brads to the windows.  The star of the show though has to be Eyelet Outlet's brand new Gingerbread brads!  The set includes a little boy and a little girl gingerbread person!  I also added some more sweet touches - the peppermint candy brads, candy cane brad, and lollipop brad.  The roof seemed like a great opportunity for one of our prancing deer brads pulling Santa's sleigh brad!

See these and more holiday brads from Eyelet Outlet here!  Thanks for being with us today!

Baking Spirits Bright

Have you seen Eyelet Outlet's newly released gingerbread boys and girls?  They are so darling!  Today I'm bringing you a cute Christmas card that features these little cuties along with our mixer brad, rolling pin brad, and cookie sheet brad.  


The cute vintage cookie cutter box is an image from KB and Friends Etsy Shop.  They have several of these vintage boxes that I've been having so much fun mixing with various Eyelet Outlet brads!  The little cookie cutters inside the box are from Cricut's Gingerbread image set.  

I hope you'll pick up some of new gingerbread boys and girls and show us the creative ways you use them on our Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook Group!
