A Special Gift of Grace: Custom Bible Verse Card Box

Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones that help us share our faith with others. I recently finished this custom handmade box for my Pastor, and I’m so excited to share how it came together! Products from Eyelet Outlet makes this box beautiful and sturdy.

I wanted to create something functional and beautiful that would allow my Pastor to keep her favorite Bible verses organized. This box is perfectly sized to hold verse cards, making it easy for her to keep the ones she loves most or pull one out to give to someone in need of a little extra encouragement. 

I started with sturdy white cardstock to ensure the box had a solid structure. Before cutting the base and top, I covered the cardstock in a gorgeous Floral Collage Washi Tape This doesn't just look pretty—the tape actually provides a naturally moisture and grime-resistant surface, making it durable enough to be carried in a purse or briefcase. Once the cardstock was "laminated" with tape, I cut and fashioned the box base and lid to my custom dimensions. To finish the top, I added a collection of symbolic brads from Eyelet Outlet to include a Lion, Sheep, Red Rose and three delicate Mini Butterfly Brads.

I absolutely love how this turned out! It feels personalized and sturdy, and most importantly, it serves a beautiful purpose in spreading God's love. It’s a small way to support someone who spends so much time supporting others. If you'd like the cards I used here, they can be found on the Art Impressions Web site.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please stop by the Eyelet Outlet store to stock up on your brads, bling, washi tape, and paper flowers.

Susan's Top 5 Favorites of 2025

2025 was a difficult year for me in many respects, but thanks to my faith, family, and friends, I got through it. This card rose to the top of my favorites list because it's been sort of my motto this year and because I've always loved our little pig brad! And here he is flying high in the clouds, against all odds!

I enjoyed making a number of hoosier cabinet cards last year and Eyelet Outlet products took all of them over the top! I especially loved this potting bench version featuring our daisy brads, cactus brad, and garden tool brads.

The popular Eyelet Outlet leaf brads have long been a favorite of mine and I loved using the regular size as well as the mini ones to embellish this darling water color image of children jumping into a pile of fall leaves. And the rake leaning against the tree is a real bonus!

We rolled out our  dancing hippos in 2025 and they were such fun! Pair them with a few balloon brads, and you've got a happy way to celebrate a special day!

This was a fun birthday card for my brother. The "little cooler" brads are so great! I used some of awesome wide grass washi tape and a sun and cloud brad, too.

Happy New Year, crafters! We're wishing you health, happiness and peace in 2026.

 

Joy to the World!

I've long admired Joy cards I've seen on Pinterest where there is a scene of some sort inside the letter "O."

I finally decided to tackle one myself and I really love how it turned out. I used one of the Eyelet Outlet angel brads, a palm tree brad, and also a sheep brad to embellish the nativity scene in the center of the card. I used gold foil card stock as an offset to the black letters and I used gold glitter card stock on the star.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope having fun using Eyelet Outlet products on your holiday projects!

 

Flying Pig

Sometimes achieving a goal seems as probable as pigs flying, so that's when it's time for a fun encouragement card!

This little airplane with an open cockpit is a Cricut image that I paper pieced and it was perfect for my pig brad to take off in! He's flying among the cloud brads and adding whimsy to a difficult situation.

Hopefully a laugh will renew my friend's strength as she's pushing on toward her goal!

 

Knitting Sheep

I love a funny card and so do my grandchildren! They are great way to bring cheer to anyone's day.

Today I've made another one of these fun interactive cards called a hide and seek card. There's a little mechanism in the card so that the sentiment you see when the card is open drops down out of sight as the card opens and another message appears!

The Eyelet Outlet sheep brads and knitting brads were totally perfect for this card, don't you think? I created this card in Cricut Design Space, and if you're a Cricut crafter, too, I've shared the file on my Cricut profile. 

Here's a little video of the card in action.

Thanks for being with us today!

Take Me To Your Cake

Recently I was going through some older stamp sets I have and I came across the Beam Me Up set from Lawn Fawn. I thought it would be good fun to have the aliens try to beam up farm animals. Looking around, I came across the farm background stamp so decided to combine the two sets together with several EO brads to make this humorous take on an alien abduction.

After stamping the farming scene, I colored it with markers. Then I colored and cut out the UFO and beam. I also stamped and used white embossing powder for the sentiment strips. Next I cut the background with a stitched slimline die and cut a slightly larger mat in silver. I placed the UFO pieces in the scene and then added all the monster and farm animal brads. I also added a cupcake swirl brad. Then I glued the two slimline pieces together and glued it on to the front of a slimline card base.

Hogs and Kisses!

 It's a farm fresh day here on the blog. I grew up on farm that didn't look a lot different from this one. I enjoy getting back to my roots by evoking farm life once in a while. Fortunately that's really easy to do with the large selection of farm animal brads that EO carries.

There's definitely everything you need to create farm scenes like mine. In fact, there is so much available in the EO store when it comes to animals that Noah himself would be proud!

I Love Ewe

 
I always have a great time with Valentine's Day cards. I think it's so fun to use funny puns and jokes. I guess it reminds me of all those valentine cards I used to get at school. Today is a Valentine in that spirit.

For some reason, I get a kick out of making a valentine that at first glance might look elegant and romantic. However, a closer look hopefully promotes a chuckle or at least a smile. This one features EO's Pig and Sheep Brads. One Ewe (female sheep) is in the clouds with our Sun and Clouds Brads and Glitter Star Washi Tape. The LOVE letters were cut from chipboard covered with Daisy Washi Tape. The pattern on these letters create chipboard letters I would never be able to have otherwise. Finally I added another Ewe and Heart Enamels-Pink. To make it just a little more interesting, I used a 3D embossing folder to create the textured background. The "ewe" sentiment was stamped using individual letter stamps.

SHOPPING LIST:
Pig and Sheep Brads

Thank You Teacher!

 Hi everyone! Janet here with a cute little teacher appreciation card. In my area, next week is the official time to thank all the teachers in the District and that inspired me to make this card today.

Eyelet Outlet has so many animal brads. I have this bus stamp and die in my stash and I was delighted to find that the EO animals are sized to fit perfectly in the windows. I know that none of the teachers are going to get a card as fun and cute as this one! 

Have you noticed the great wide road, train track, water and sky washi tapes in the EO store? I have found so many great uses for them. They make it so easy to set a scene like I did here.

Outstanding in Their Field

Sheep are shear magic and I (Lauren) think you wool love Eyelet Outlet Sheep Brads! I've made a farm-themed Valentine, although really this idea could work equally well as a birthday or encouragement card at any time of year. 

I've watercolored the pretty barn and added a fun fence diecut in the foreground. My farmyard features the sweet sheep from our Pig and Sheep set, as well as some Mini Butterflies and the Sun and Cloud set. 

In addition to the Pig and Sheep Brads, Eyelet Outlet has Cow and Goat Brads, Horse and Pony Brads, Roosters, Chickens, Chicks, Eggs, Pick-up Trucks, Cowboy Brads and Tractors, too! So FARM, so good!

Susan's Top Love Notes

I've made quite a number of love themed cards through the years.  I often give a few in gift box to brides to be as a shower gift and of course, I give one to my love on Valentine's Day. Choosing my top 3 favorites was more difficult than I expected it to be!

I'm always up for a funny/punny card and I especially love using Eyelet Outlet brads in unique ways, so this love note/Valentine card from 2017 featuring the Eyelet Outlet pig and cloud brads had to make my top three list. 

Also from 2017, another favorite was this card featuring the Eyelet Outlet coffee bean brad.

Last year was my "Shaker Card Period" and here's one of my favorites from that collection.  This card features some of Eyelet Outlet's many shine and bling products.  I used the star sequins inside the shaker as well as some stick on gems on the eye glasses and here and there between the enamel hearts.  You'll want some of our beautiful silver glitter star washi tape, too, I'm sure!  

Thanks for being with us as we look back on our favorite love notes and Valentines,

Happy October!

Greetings from the Herd tri-fold

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun tri-fold good luck/congratulations card featuring our Animal Stamp Set along with our Cow & Goat Brads, Pig & Sheep Brads, Horse/Pony Brads and Wide Sky Washi Tape! This was definitely a fun one!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from white cardstock along with a layering panel which I covered with Wide Sky Washi Tape and a green cardstock pasture. I added die cut grass and a hand-cut fence to keep the herd in, lol! ;) I added the Cow & Goat Brads, Pig & Sheep Brads, and Horse/Pony Brads to complete the front of the card. 

I cut the inside panel from white cardstock along with a layering panel from dark green cardstock, and embellished it with a section of die cut grass, a green cardstock pasture and a Cow Brad. I stamped the sentiment in dark green ink and layered the panel on the dark green cardstock.

I cut a second white cardstock panel along with a folded panel from the dark green cardstock (to fashion the third fold), stamped another sentiment in dark green ink and adhered the panel on the inside.

 
Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

I Miss You PIG Time!

Hello friends. On today's card, I am featuring the ever-so-cute pigs from the Pig and Sheep brad set. These little pigs are so detailed. I'm always amazed how much detail can be packed into a brad like this and both the pigs and the sheep don't disappoint.

I kept this simple and used a purchased patterned A2 card base. I layered a piece of paper lace with a strip of Skinny Glitter Washi Tape. On top of that I placed a lacy die cut glitter heart. I heat embossed the sentiment in black and cut it using a lacy circle die. I glued the heart and circle in place on the top of the lace border and then added my pigs, heart enamel brad and pearl bling. Uber adorable!

Thanks for joining me today. I'll see you next week!
