Gift Wrapping with Eyelet Outlet

 I absolutely love gift wrapping!  I especially love topping my gifts with paper rosettes and Eyelet Outlet offers so many wonderful products to place in the center of your rosettes.  Today I'm bringing you a few of my recent gift wrapping projects.

I created these diamond shaped rosettes with my Cricut Maker.  They are from the Scoring Wheel Rosettes image set.  I used red stippled jewel brads with gold edges for the center of the rosettes.  See all of our gorgeous jeweled brads here!  I attached them with a bit of hot glue into the center of the rosette.  I used a gold elastic cord to attach them to my gift.  

For this package I sent with a candy theme and topped my rosettes with a few peppermint candy brads and a candy cane brad.  Again, I secured them with just a touch of hot glue into the center of the rosette.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Eyelet Outlet!

You're a CROCSTAR!

 The little shoe charms folks are wearing these days remind me of brads, so an idea for a card was born!

On this one, I used Eyelet Outlet star brads for the shoe charms and some star washi tape in the corners and a few strips of skinny glitter washi tape as well.  I added an enamel star to the swirl beneath my sentiment.  

Trust me, whatever your Croc loving friends are in to, we've got a brad for that, so the sky's the limit on this card idea!  We've got fairies, horses, donuts, cars, cats....you name it!  

On this one I used some of our lovely round jeweled brads for the charms and added some of our glitter rainbow washi tape, skinny glitter washi tape and swirl bling.  

Thanks for being here today and happy crafting!

Spring Birthday Card

There's a fabulous sale going on right now at Eyelet Outlet that you don't want to miss!  All the round jeweled and pearl brads are on sale for only 75 cents a package!  Here I've used some gorgeous green jeweled ones in the center of the Eyelet Outlet Paper Flowers for a pretty spring birthday card.

I applied some of this pretty flower washi tape to strips of white cardstock, then added a pink strip of cardstock to the back for a little offset. And check out these butterfly sequins!  There my new favorites in our amazing sequin collection!  I stitched them on the card with a needle and thread and since they're a little "bendy" I could bend the wings slightly to give my card even more dimension!

Patriotic Banner

 I started making seasonal felt banners for my home last fall.  I've done an autumn theme, Halloween theme, Spring and Easter themed banner, and I knew I wanted a patriotic theme for the summer months.  

I cut all the felt with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade and used images from the Cricut image library.  In addition to felt, I embellished my banner with glitter iron-on, foil iron-on and regular iron-on.  

And of course, I turned to Eyelet Outlet for some additional fantastic patriotic embellishments!  In the centers of some of the flowers I used red and blue round jeweled brads, and the red, silver, blue, and gold star sequins added all kinds of zing to my fireworks!  I also added a few star brads.

I also used star brads and in the center a patriotic hat fom the Flag and Hat set.

This banner is perfect for Memorial Day, Flag Day on June 14th, and Fourth of July and even Labor Day!

Fun With Felt

I've been having quite a lot of fun with felt lately and have found new ways to incorporate Eyelet Outlet brads into my felt projects.  A few weeks ago and shared my a fall themed banner and today I've got some Christmas ornaments to show you.

I iron fusible webbing to the back of the felt that I use in the designs.  I peel off the backing and then cut the shapes with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade.  Once I have them layered like I want them on one of the round pieces of felt,  I cover the design with a damp pressing cloth and iron.  The fusible webbing adheres everything together perfectly.  Then I embellish the ornaments with Eyelet Outlet brads and sequins and blanket stitch the rounds together adding a little bit of batting before taking the last few stitches.

Eyelet Outlet sequins are amazing for this project and they are available in lots of shapes and colors.  I stitched round ones on the Christmas tree and wreath and the pretty star shaped ones surround the angel.  

I used a round jeweled brad in the center of my snowflake.  There's dozens to choose from at Eyelet Outlet.

In addition to the multi-colored round sequins, I added a gold star brad to the top of the tree and a few of our brand new gift brads underneath.

I have several more ornament designs on the drawing board, so check back in and see how I'll be using even more Eyelet Outlet products on them!

Halloween Treat Bags

 

Decorating these little Halloween treat bags was such fun!  There's so many amazing Halloween themed embellishments available at Eyelet Outlet, as you can see from this project. And there's even more at EyeletOutlet.com

This little witch is from Cricut's Mini Monster's image set, but I substituted Eyelet Outlet Witch Legs brads for the originals.  I also used Eyelet Outlet Eye brads on her face and a round jeweled brad on her dress.  The jeweled brads are on sale now, too!   There's a mini spider brad in that cob web as well as a cute black kitten brad in the corner.  

And don't forget about the washi tape!  I used some purple glitter tape on my witch's hat as well as a few strips of black and white and some Happy Halloween tape.  

Thanks for being with us today and be sure and check back next week and see our newest brads!

Happy Easter

I'd like to wish all of our Eyelet Outlet fans a Happy Easter this coming Sunday.  Here's a card I made to send out to the loved ones we won't be able to celebrate with in person this year.  

The window frame on this card is an image from Cricut's Ornamental Iron 2 set.  I used a lovely stained glass digital paper from Waterhouse Graphics Etsy shop behind the frame.  

Eyelet Outlet paper flowers were the perfect complement to the colors in the window and I used some of Eyelet Outlet's Jeweled Round Brads in the center of the flowers.  Then I finished the card with one of Eyelet Outlet's cross brads.  

Wishing you a blessed Easter.  Stay safe.  Stay well.

Purple Passion!

Good morning, crafters!  My box-making bonanza continues this week with this pretty gift box from the Cricut "Box It Up" cartridge which I embellished with Eyelet Outlet products - perfect for spring gift-giving!

Eyelet Outlet has one of the biggest selection of washi tape on the web and this wide purple flower washi is one of my favs!  I applied it around the bottom of my gift box.  

I really love gift wrapping and I often hear, "It's too pretty to open!" Problem solved when using a box with an easily removable lid like this one.  For the top and added an Eyelet Outlet Paper Flower (available in LOTS of colors) and secured it to the box with one of our round pearl brads in lavender.  The green leaf brads added just the right pop of color, don't you think?
