Rainy Day Cheer!

Don't let a rainy day get you down! Turn it around by using our blue Tear Drop Bling and our new pastel Dragonfly Brad Set in your rainy day card making. 

This card was created by water coloring a rain scene colorfully and putting it behind a window pane die cut. Clouds were stenciled on with Distress Oxide inks. Before I framed the main panel, I placed three of the new dragonflies on the front. I placed many blue teardrop gems on the front and also behind the window pain on the umbrella scene. Did you know the tear drop bling comes in clear, blue and pearl? So many options in the pretty tear drop shape! I love how a few touches from Eyelet Outlet can amp up a scene and make it really special.

Welcome Spring!

Welcome Spring into your home with this easy to create floral banner! And I do mean EASY! I can't think of a time I've created something with NO adhesive of any kind at all, but none was needed for this project. This would be a great project to do with kids! I cut the burlap pendents with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade attachment, but if you don't have a Cricut Maker, you can find them already cut and ready to embellish at many craft stores. 

I reinforced the holes in my pendents with eyelets (of course, from Eyelet Outlet)!  They come in dozens of sizes and colors.  I used my Crop-A-Dial to apply them. This step is totally optional though.

From there, I just started mixing and matching Eyelet Outlet Paper Flowers to some of the gorgeous pearl and jeweled round brads I had on hand. See all the pretty round brads available at EO here.  They were a snap to add to the burlap.  Because of the open weave, I didn't even have to use a hole punch.  

To carry my Spring theme further, I also added some Eyelet Outlet leaf brads, butterfly brads, bee brads, and dragonfly brads and in no time at all, I had a beautiful banner ready to welcome Spring!

Yard Work

It's Kim from Katydid Cards with the observation that it seems there's never a shortage of yard work, regardless of the time of year.

Eyelet Outlet's new Mower & Rake brads, with some help from some oldie but goodie brads, are just the thing for cards or scrapbook pages to help celebrate the "lawn ranger" in your life.

On my first card, I also used the Mini Leaf, Mini Bee, Mini Stitched Flower, Dragonfly, and Garden Tool Brads to make four little vignettes.  In two of the circles, I used washi tape, Skinny Green and Hardwood, to serve as the grass and soil.  A final touch for the greeting, I added black Pearl Bling in three sizes.

Here's the inside of the card, clean and simple.  This card would work equally well as a birthday card or even a thank you for a landscaper.

And here is the Rake again, this time paired with the Leaf Brads and Wood Washi Tape.   The rake makes for the perfect checkmark on this Autumn To Do list.

Inside is some good advice because, let's face it, jumping in a pile of leaves is FUN!

Thanks for stopping by!  See you next week!

Chicken and Waffles

Hi there!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.

One of the new releases at Eyelet Outlet is the Chicken & Waffle Brads.  I'd never heard of this combination before...guess I'm living in the wrong part of the country to be aware of its popularity.  But the brads are sure popular with me!  Here's a card I made using just the waffles.

I used a card base I found in the Silhouette store and am very happy with the way it showcases the waffles and the fork from the Utensils Brads.  The greeting was created to compliment the waffles.  I filled the letters in the word WAFFLE with a waffle pattern.

The bottom of the card was embossed with a heart pattern...that open space definitely needed some additional interest and this embossing folder did the trick.

Inside, I decided to add a little syrup to the waffles.  The font is supposed to simulate snow, but I think it looks enough like syrup!

I didn't forget about the Chicken Brads!  Here's a redux of a picnic themed box card using those yummy chicken legs and more!

In addition to the chicken, I used the Silverware, Cocktail, and Dragonfly Brads.  In addition, I used the Hardwood and Blue Patterned Washi Tapes and large Jewel Bling as well as Pearl Bling (both colored with Copic markers).

The card base was made using a Summer Box Card cut file by SVGCuts.
