Twinkling Christmas Cheer

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a gift bag decorated with Eyelet Outlet's pearl bling strips white, holiday light brads, and metallic eyelet mix.  Eyelet Outlet embellishments can be used to elevate gift giving by decorating gift bags, tags, and gift card packaging.

I used a gift bag die to create the bag and added the pearl bling strip to mimic the light strand.  The light brads on the pearl strip remind me of the outdoor lights on houses.  Something about those lights make the season feel bright and full of wonder.  The eyelets elevate the bag and provide stability for the ribbon handles.

There is something magical about Christmas lights, especially a strand of retro lights, reminds me of  childhood Christmas decorations. Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a gift bag for someone special using Eyelet Outlet products.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

EASY.QUICK.SIMPLE.

I can’t be the only one that forgets to send a Thank You card now and again only to find out the intended recipient is stopping by in a few minutes to say hi. AHHHH!! That happened to me today and I put together the cutest Thank You card in under 30 minutes and the recipient loved it and thought I spent hours on it…little did she know.  😊

I grabbed some Flower Petal Washi Tape and a few pearls from the Pearl Bling Sheets and off I went. I first drew three lines down the side of the card with a black marker.  I then cut out several of the flowers from the washi tape and pop dotted them to the face of the card on the lines I drew.  I added some pearls, drew some cute little bows, and finished it off by adding a nice little sentiment and voila…a simple yet sweet thank you card in minutes!

Easy. Quick. Simple. Thanks to Eyelet Outlet, this card was Easy. Quick. Simple.

I'm Grape-ful For You!

 Hello crafty friends!  As we are heading into the season of gratitude, I thought I would create a nostalgic card that not only expresses gratitude, but is a bit of fun, too! 

Growing up, we watched I Love Lucy as a family.  One of my favorite episodes is captured in the image that I used for my card.  As I colored up the image with Copics, I could visualize the episode in my head and it made me laugh.

When I first saw the Grape Brads and Wine Washi Tape, I knew that they would pair perfectly with this image, and I was not disappointed!   At the last minute, I also added a few white pearls that I separated from the Pearl Bling Strip.

Did you have a favorite show as a child?  I would love to hear what it was!   Thank you so much for spending a few minutes with me!

A Block Card for the Day of Love!

Hey everybody! I hope you had a great week! Leslie here, sharing one more Valentine before the day of love arrives on Monday! This block card features our Valentine Washi Tape which I used on the background of all four blocks, and White Pearl Bling Strip that I used to embellish the heart. Another fun and easy card! AND our Valentine washi tape is on sale!

I cut the card base, layering panels, and blocks and layers from red, gray, white and three shades of pink cardstock. I covered the white blocks with four different patterns from the Valentine Washi Tape, and added the layers. I assembled the card and added White Pearl Bling Strip around the edge of the heart.

I cut the inside panels from gray and light pink cardstock along with a panel cut from white cardstock which I embellished with more of the Valentine washi tape, and stamped the sentiment in pink ink.

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

Getting Ready For Mother's Day!

Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty Mother's Day card featuring our Clear Jewel Bling Strips, White Pearl Bling Strips, Brown Enamel Dots and Glitter Brown Skinny Washi Tape! We have a local store who sells my commissioned Mother's Day cards every year, so I always get started on them several months ahead of time. I really love how this one turned out and I'm sure I'll be making a few more like this! 

I cut all the pieces from natural, brown, gold foil and coordinating patterned papers, assembled the card, and stamped the sentiment in brown ink. I added Clear Jewel Bling Strips to the dress which I colored with alcohol markers (did you know you can do that?!), pearls from a White Pearl Bling Strip around the neck of the dress form which I also colored with alcohol markers. I added several Brown Enamel Dots to the background, Glitter Brown Skinny Washi Tape strips down each side and a brown ribbon bow to complete the front. 

Here's a shot of the inside.

Keep on Trucking in Chicken Lingo!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun friendship card pecked out in chicken lingo, lol! I paired some favorite brads and bling with an all-time favorite stamp set, and had a great time putting this CAS design together. This simple design would be easy to mass produce to create a set to give as a gift!

I cut an ivory A2 size top-folding card base and rounded the bottom right corner to add some interest. I printed some digital chicken wire on ivory cardstock and trimmed the panel with the wire at the bottom. I added a strip of yellow cardstock to separate the wire from the white space. I stamped the sentiment in black ink, added three Chicken Brads and layered the panel on yellow cardstock. I adhered the piece to the card base and added some White Pearl Bling to the yellow strip along with a few tiny pearls from a White Pearl Bling Strip to the background. I colored the bling with an alcohol marker to match the chickens. 

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

Yep, let's stay classy through this!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing one final clean and simple card created with the new quarantine-inspired brads in the store along with some glitter washi tape, fancy long bling and pearls to appeal to your classy, glitzy feminine side! This is the last card in my series of CAS cards paying tribute to our frontline healthcare workers. This one is somewhat light-hearted with computer-generated front and inside sentiments, and a stamped addition to the sentiment on the front. ;)

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from black cardstock. The computer-generated front and inside sentiments were printed on white cardstock and the panels trimmed. I stamped 'stay classy' in black ink at an angle above the front sentiment. I added a strip of Gold Glitter Skinny Washi Tape and Pink Fancy Long Bling-Pearls and Jewels vertically down the left side, added two Toilet Paper Brads just to the left of the sentiment, and adhered the panel to the card base. The finishing touch was the addition of several single pearls from a White Pearl Bling Strip.

I embellished the inside panel with a single strip of the Gold Glitter Skinny Washi Tape and adhered it to the inside of the card base. 

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

A literal and true sentiment!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing another clean and simple card created with quarantine-inspired brads that are new in the store along with some wide washi tape and bling to make it all girly! This is another card in my series to pay tribute to our frontline healthcare workers. And yes, this sentiment is literal and true - "crap" does happen but we always seem to get through it! ;)

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from black cardstock. The sentiment is from a digital stamp set so I printed it on white cardstock and trimmed the panel so the sentiment was in the lower right corner. I applied a strip of Wide Music Washi Tape horizontally across the panel and then added a piece of White Pearl Bling Strip at the top and bottom of the washi tape. I added two Toilet Paper Brads to the left of the sentiment and then adhered the panel to the card base. I finished the card front with several individual pearls from the bling strip.

I embellished the inside panel with a half-strip of the Wide Music Washi Tape and a narrow strip of black cardstock, and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

A different kind of ATC

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing something new to me - a different kind of ATC... an artist trading cube! How cool is this?! I think this ATC has been around for quite a while but I just discovered it and learned that it can be any size. This one is 2-1/2" square.

The fun part of creating this cube is having the ability to put six different designs and sentiments on it. I created the 2-1/2" square cube from heavy white cardstock, then cut six different color squares of patterned paper and adhered one to each side of the cube. I covered six pieces of white cardstock (you could use up scraps) with different sections of Flower Washi Tape - Wide, cut each one with a mini scalloped die and adhered one to each side of the cube. I printed digital sentiments, cut them in strips and added one to each floral die cut. The final step was adhering eight tiny white pearls from a White Pearl Bling Strip to each one of the die cuts going around all sides of the cube.

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