It's an EO Rainbow

Would this be a good time for some Eyelet Outlet Brads, arranged by color? If so, here are some fab brads that are Pink, Green, Grey and Orange; and there's some coordinating EO Washi Tape, as well.

The brads on each of my 5 x 3.5" cards are as follows:

PINK: A Tiara from the Crown and Tiara set, a Flamingo, a Colored Daisy, an Easter Egg, some Flip Flops, two happy porkers from the Pig and Sheep set, a Heart Brad and a Cupcake Swirl; plus a bit of Unicorn Tape and Pink Dots Washi.

GREEN: There's a lovely base of a newer wide Grass Washi, on which we have a Frog and some Cat Tails from the Frog Set, a Tractor Brad, a Chameleon from the Reptiles set, some Beer, green Thread, and a pair of lovely Summer Trees.

GREY: A Dress Form, some Scissors (because silver counts as grey in the Laurniverse!), a Ring from the Wedding set, some Pipes, an Elephant from the Jungle Mix, a Laptop from the Computer and Headphones set, a Saw from the Saw and Toolbox set, a Wrench from our Tool Brads and a handsome Sketched Owl; with Road Tape and Silver Star Glitter Washi.

ORANGE: Ticket Washi and Orange Fan Tape make a base for: a handsome Ginger Cat from the Feline Brads, a Dinosaur, a Ticket from the Popcorn and Ticket set, Tigers from the second Jungle Mix, Leaf and Mini Leaf Brads, a Witch Hat, a Pumpkin and some yummy Candy Corn.

Stay tuned for four more awesome colors next week. In the meantime, all of these and MANY more are available in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store, or can be found in a trade show booth coming somewhere near you this summer! Complete list of dates and venues can be found HERE!

Merry Christmas Lantern

It's July and of course that gets me thinking of Christmas in July. I wanted to use the uber cute Penguin Brads and Polar Bear Brads and this seemed like a great time to pull them out even if it is 95 degrees outside right now!

I made the background using the Santa Washi Tape in strips on top of a white card base. I had a snowflake embossed vellum rectangle in my stash that I had left over from a different project and I think it's great on top of the Santa background. I die cut the lantern and glued it to the velum. The lantern was the perfect size for one of the penguins and bears. These are so cute together in this little scene!

I used my Cricut to cut the banner but I lined the white cardstock with both the Silver Star Foil Washi and the Glitter Gold Washi before I cut it. I have not done this before but it worked great. You can do the same thing with any steel dies too. I love that I can get a bit of glitter and shine without cutting into an expensive glitter or foiled cardstock. Once cut, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder.

To finish it, I layered two of our Red Paper Flowers together and put White Glitter Enamel Dots in the center to create a pointsettia look. I also used Silver Glitter Enamel Dots on the banner. 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy a little Christmas this July!

Quick Christmas Cards

All you need are a few stickers, washi tape, brads and designer papers to pull together a set of quick Christmas cards.

The first one uses Merry Christmas Washi Tape for the border, a poinsettia brad embellished sticker and lots of new flower bling for snowflakes.

The next sticker was embellished with a Pine Tree Brad and fun winter Sled ... paired with Christmas tree paper & a sticker sentiment, it all comes together.

Holly Leaves and Berries embellish this Merry Christmas Sticker with lots more holly leaves in the papers.

And finally more Flower Bling *snowflakes* on the Silver Star Washi Tape with another cute winter sled.

When brads coordinate with your stickers and papers, the paper crafting is easy.  Can't wait to see what you create with Eyelet Outlet products for the holidays.

Washi Tape Christmas Trees

Today I used two different techniques to turn Washi Tape into Christmas Tree Cards.

The first one is inspired by the silver metallic tree that my Gran had in her formal living room each year.  I would sneak into the room in the dark to watch the lights reflect off the silver needles.

I started by attaching two different silver glitter washi tapes to cardstock and then trimming the washi tape into smaller strips.

I then used adhesive to attach the strips to green cardstock to form my tree.  Next I used four different kinds of Eyelet Outlet Bling & Enamel Dots to decorate my tree.  

I finished with a layered glittery star & one more piece of bling.

For the next tree I combined three different Eyelet Outlet Washi Tapes.

I started with the Merry Christmas at the bottom on blue shimmer cardstock and then worked my way to the top before adding a Square Bling *star* and a wood grain trunk.

I cut apart a Jewel Red Swirl Bling to use the multi-sized gems to decorate my tree.

I hope this gives you some ideas for using your Eyelet Outlet stash to create some fun Christmas Tree Cards.

U ROCK!!!

Another Tuesday has rolled around,  and my day to post on the Eyelet Outlet Blog.  Today I have a totally "boy" card for you to see. I'm really on the 5 1/4 square card band wagon lately and this one is just that. First I took a tip from Stephanie (check out her blog below mine on the EO blog) I covered a 5 X 5 piece of cardstock with silver star washi tape from the Eyelet Outlet Store, popped the rock star boy (bugaboo) up in the corner and added the U ROCK letters.

As you see it isn't the easiest card to get a picture of but it looks so awesome.  I added the gold stars  from a enamel dots & stars package from the Eyelet Outlet Store.  What would a music card be without music notes? Well I added the music note brads also from the Eyelet Outlet Store. Check them out for all your embellishment needs you will be amazed at the selection of brads, enamel dots and washi tape.

See the awesome music brads and enamel stars.
