Fa La La La Latte

 

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a coffee gift card envelope made with Eyelet Outlet's holiday coffee cup brads, snowflake bling, and enamel dots holiday red/green.  Eyelet Outlet has fun Christmas and winter embellishments to add to handmade gift packaging.

I used dies to create the gift card envelope and the center coffee cup.  I added a coffee cup brad on either side of the die cut coffee cup.  Tip - As an alternative to securing brads with the metal fasteners, remove the clips from the back of the brad and adhere with foam squares.  To decorate the coffee cup die cut, I added a snowflake bling.  The red enamel dots add texture and finish out the design.

Handmade gift card holders transform a practical gift into something thoughtful and special.  Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a gift card holder tailored to a special someone using Eyelet Outlet products.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

How Many Yeti Fit in One Blog Post?

The answer is: Six! Each one has brought along some favorite Eyelet Outlet Holiday Brads, a scattering of Round Sequins, and a selection of festive Washi Tape... See?

The first yeti has brought his (or possibly her... on yeti, it's frankly hard to tell!) favorite holiday treat: a Candy Cane Brad and has chosen Gingerbread Tape, Heart Washi, Red Dots and some solid color Skinny Tapes.

The second yeti likes being vertical and chose Red Tree Tape, Christmas Pattern Washi, Heart Tape and two shades of green Skinny Tape. A Holly Brad coordinates perfectly.

Yeti number three likes a bargain, so a Holiday Tree from the sale section was just the thing. Santa Tape, Merry Christmas Washi, Trees Tape, Music Notes and green Skinny Tape complete the ensemble.

The fourth yeti is wishing us Happy Holidays with a Holiday Saying Bubble. Red Dots, Gingerbread Washi, Foil Stripes, Merry Christmas Washi, and Fun Pattern Tape coordinate nicely.

Yeti number five is also embracing verticality, perfectly enhanced with Red Tree Tape, Christmas Pattern Washi, Heart Tape and two shades of green Skinny Tape, enjoying a Holiday Coffee. 

The final yeti is ready to hang up a Stocking Brad (also on sale!) against a background of Santa Tape, Trees Tape, Music Notes Washi and green Skinny Tape.

Whatever aspect of the holidays YOUR favorite yeti loves most, I'm pretty sure we've got some Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tapes that will suit him (or her!) perfectly.

Lauren's Holiday Favorites!

I (Lauren) am excited to look back on several years' worth of Eyelet Outlet holiday cards and choose a few to show off today!

This Peaceful Winter card from last December shows off all my favorite winter animal brads as holiday ornaments: sweet Polar Bears, handsome Moose and adorable Penguins; as well as Pine Tree Brads, Snowflakes and Jewel Bling Strip ornament hangers.

This coffee-centic card, Fa-La-La-La Latte, is from November 2019, and features our Holiday Coffee Cups, Holly Brads and Poinsettia Washi; all of which I still adore!

This fun mini gift bag was part of our multi-designer 2017 Christmas in July Wrap-Up post, and it's a favorite because of how FAST and flexible the design is: I added a Men's Hat Brad and some Pearl Bling buttons to a stamped snowman, a Candy Cane Brad to Solid Color Paper Flowers and an eclectic mix of Washi Tapes (including Wide Tree Washi, Merry Christmas Tape, Music Note Tape, Skinny Solid Tape, Skinny Hearts Washi) which I selected almost randomly. Such a fun way to add personal style to an inexpensive gift bag!

LOVES making holiday cards! 

Last Minute Mayhem!

What do you do when you discover at the verrrrrrrry last minute that you need FIVE more cards NOW?! Just grab a sheet of journaling cards, your favorite Eyelet Outlet holiday brad styles, and some washi tape and you're all set! 

These cards are just slightly smaller than the classic A2, made to fit a little stack of odd-sized envelopes I (Lauren) came across. All of the backgrounds are made of washi tape and there's a super-skinny mat behind each which could easily be made from Glitter Tape or Foil Tape.

I used the colors and themes of the journal cards to suggest which brads I would add... the car illustration (above) already had a tree on top, but I added a Pine Tree Brad for more dimension and interest. I put Screw Brads on the hubcaps and made a background from Wide Tree Tape. The little elf (below) obviously needed an Ornament Brad and a Star for the top of his tree. The soft sage green in Poinsettia Tape was the perfect color match.

The "Ho Ho Ho" card could easily have incorporated more ornaments, or Holiday Lights, Wreath Brads, Santa and Missus Claus, Snowman or Snowman Couple Brads, even Snowflakes or Poinsettias! But I went with three Santa Hat Brads, affixed to a few of the O's. The background is Ornament Tape, which lines up perfectly in horizontal strips to make full-sized ornaments.

A mat made of Christmas Pattern argyle style tape picks up the colors of the Holiday Coffee Cup and  Candy Cane Brad this cute snowman is holding.

Finally for the sweet elves, I added another candy cane and a Heart Brad, with a background of Tree Washi Tape... another washi selection that can be made into a full sheet, just by working patiently in strips.

I hope you'll be inspired to add Eyelet Outlet holiday brads and tape to your store bought tags, cards and bows this gift-giving season!

wishes you a very 

happy holiday season!

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!
