January Calendar Planning

 Happy New Year dear creative friends! I am grateful you are here!

As we embark on a New Year and set goals and plans for success, I thought I would share my calendar layout for January 2024. I love using a good quality paper planner that allows me to write, stamp, create, and add embellishments to my heart's content!

I began with stamping my snowflakes in light blue and adding some distressing around the edges of my planner. Next, I added my wintery washi tapes in various places. Lastly, I embellished with the adorable snowman and snowflake brads! Quick, simple, and easy with a lovely result!

 Now, all that is left to do is write my plans for January! I hope this inspires you to get organized and creative in planning your upcoming year! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for all your crafting needs!

Snow Far, Snow Good

I confess that I (Lauren) do not actually love snow in real life, BUT... I love it on holiday cards, especially shaker cards that star the new Eyelet Outlet Snowman Couple Brads!

Because seriously what in the world could be cuter than a Snowman and Snowwoman all dressed up for a Snow Date?! After I filled the shaker cup with clear microbeads and a few tiny sequins, I concentrated on making a background that went well with that scene. I decided they should live on a Christmas Tree Farm, which I made by filling the lower 2/3 of a plain white cardstock panel with Christmas Tree Washi Tape, lined up nice and neatly. I filled the "sky" with Dotty Foil Tape and as a finishing touch I scattered a few Snowflake Brads so they looked like they were falling down the front of the card.

If it's snowing where you live, I hope you are as happy and cosy as this cute Snow Couple!

Advent Calendar

Today I'm bringing you a Pinterest inspired project that I've wanted to make for several years now and finally got around to it this week!  I created an Advent Calendar for my granddaughter out of a muffin pan!

I began by cutting out circles from magnetic paper on my Cricut Maker.  The magnetic paper sticks to the muffin pan to cover the openings.  

Next the fun started!  Creating fun little designs to embellish the magnetic circles! Most, if not all, of my designs were elements found in Cricut Design Space.  

What really added to the project were the many Eyelet Outlet products I used!  The brad, bling, and enamel dots really jazzed this project up! Most came from our Holiday Collection.  

I used vinyl to apply the "Merry Christmas, Love Grandma & Grandpa."  Just a little FYI to save you some grief if you should decide to make one - spray paint doesn't stick to Teflon! I found that out the hard way!  :(   Look for a pan that isn't coated with a non-stick surface if you want to spray paint it.

Each day from December 1st through Christmas Eve, she will get to open up a little prize of candy, small toy, or money.  I can't wait to give this to her!

It's Snow Time!!

It's the first snow real snow fall in MI today...a bit too early for me!

BUT...it's never too early to pull out new products from Eyelet Outlet!

Our new Mr. & Mrs. Snowman Brads will keep you crafting through the colder months.

Our new large snowflakes, that come in two styles, are a favorite.

Plus, we have a new winter washi tape, Glitter Tall Tree,  that will add sparkle and glitz to your paper crafting projects. Who needs more of the small snow flake bling??

Thanks for sledding by today!
