Today's card theme is treasures under the sea. This 5 x 5 card is full of wonderful bling in yummy jewel colors and white pearls. The treasure chest is stuffed with bling and some overflows on the sand bottom as well. In addition to the bling, I added several brads that are perfect embellishments for a treasure card.

To make this, I started inking up the water background with a stencil. Then I colored and trimmed out the stamped ocean bottom scene at the base. Then I layered in all the bling and the brads to create this perfect underwater treasure card.

Michelle's Top 3 Favorites!

 Today I am sharing my top 3 favorite cards!

I chose this Nautical themed "SEAS"son's Greeting Christmas card for a couple of reasons! First, it is in honor of the many, many Christmases I celebrated in South Florida! I was born and raised in Florida and only within the last 15 years have celebrated this holiday with an actual "winter" season! And secondly, I love this card because I think I used the most adorable Eyelet Outlet products! I used 9 accessories on this card! You can see all the details of this card on blogpost November 8, 2022.  

My second favorite card is the "back to school fuel" card from blog post August 30,2022. Anyone who knows me, knows I love coffee! So I really enjoyed creating this coffee themed card! Cutting out the Coffee washi tape to create the word "teachers" was fun too! 

Last, but not least. For my 3rd favorite card, I selected "Joy to the World" from blog post October 11, 2022. I chose this card for not only the lovely products I used, but for the message it represents! Because of Jesus's birth we can celebrate Christmas! I hope this Christmas season you have as the song says, "prepared Him room in your heart and home" and you "rejoice at the wonders of His Love". 

Thank you for stopping by this Christmas season! I have created a shopping list below for Eyelet Outlet!

"Sea"son's Greetings!

Do you have friends or family who live in a tropical climate? They might enjoy this "SEAside SEAson's Greeting" card for the Holidays!

I started with creating my tropical Christmas tree using the long blue jewel strip for lights and adding tropical brads! For my Christmas tree topper I used a turquoise jewel bling.  I also added a tree stand using black glitter washi and a few presents! And who wouldn't want to slip away on a Santa Sailboat? I thought that would be a fun addition!

Lastly, I created a sentiment banner across the top and added more colorful, jewel bling to embellish my "Season's Greetings"! I love the versatility of the crafting products by Eyelet Outlet!

Inspirational Note Card with a Nautical Feel!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a cool inspirational note card with a nautical feel featuring our Anchor Brads, Ship Wheel Brads, Anchor Washi Tape and Black Enamel Dots! These brads and washi tape are the 'the bomb' - I love using coordinating products!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock along with layering panels from brown and white cardstock. I covered just a tad more than half of the white panel with Anchor Washi Tape, cut it off at an angle and adhered it to the brown panel, and added a narrow white cardstock strip at the angled edge. I stamped the sentiment in gold ink and then brown ink over top of the gold for a pretty brown shimmer. I cut the sentiment with a stitched circle die and adhered it to the panel. I added randomly-placed Anchor Brads and Ship Wheel Brads, and adhered the panel to the card base. I then added a few Black Enamel Dots to complete the front. 

I cut the inside panel from white cardstock and embellished it with a strip of Anchor Washi Tape and a narrow strip of brown cardstock, and layered the panel on brown cardstock. Since this is a note card, I left the inside panel blank, leaving plenty of room to write a custom message. 

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

Great nautical masculine card with our new brads!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a nautical masculine card for that boat-loving friend featuring our new Boat & Lighthouse Brads! I've been fixated on water/beach cards all summer long, it seems, and these new brads couldn't have hit the store at a better time! I also used our Anchor Brads along with our Wide Sky Washi Tape and Water Washi Tape which made the base for a very cool little scene! I fashioned a cliff from kraft cardstock, stamped some birds and shoreline greenery, and then added a sentiment and the brads. Easy quick card!

 
I embellished the inside panel with a strip of Red Skinny Washi Tape and a strip of blue cardstock, stamped the sentiment in blue ink, and layered the panel on the blue cardstock.

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

You Float My Boat

We added to our nautical themed collection this summer! You'll love the new sailboat brads and light house brads that are part of the summer release.  

I created a shaker card with a bottle from the Cricut image library and the slice tool in Cricut Design Space.  In addition to the sailboat inside the bottle, there's also some Eyelet Outlet sequins.  I used the shell mix sequins and a few of the hearts sequins.  The light house brad was perfect near the sentiment of my card and the anchor brad was the perfect touch in the center of the twine.  

I'm sure the new Boat and lighthouse brads will float your boat, too!

 

It's all A-BOAT the new brads this month!

 

If you are a lake girl, a family of boaters...or are looking for a great way to make masculine cards and pages, look no further. Eyelet Outlet has Boat & Lighthouse Brads in the store now!!

Supplies:

Boat & Lighthouse brads

Ship Wheel brads

Metallic Anchor brads

Sun & Cloud brads

Quick Cards Using Washi Tape

Looking for a quick and simple card design? I've got one here for you today that lets Washi Tape do all the hard work. Don't have Washi Tape or want a new design or two? We have hundreds of designs to choose from at our STORE. You're sure to find designs that you'd love to own.

I made four cards with the same design but with four different Washi Tape designs. From left to right, I used:
Bee Washi Tape and a Blue Glitter Enamel Dot
Copper Sparkle Foil Tape and a White Glitter Enamel Dot
Book Washi Tape and a Red Glitter Enamel Dot and
Map Washi Tape and a Blue Enamel Dot.

This is a great way to personalize a card for the recipient's hobbies or interests. It can instantly make a card feminine, masculine, whimsical, serious, juvenile or adult. Best of all, it's a quick but great card you can make when time is tight.

Here's a close-up of the bee card.

Let's take a peak inside the map card to show how I put another piece of white card stock inside with a strip of matching Washi Tape at the bottom. I sometimes also put a brad in the inside to accent the Washi Tape like here where I used the Anchor Brad in antique bronze. There are two other finished in this charming pack including shiny silver and pewter.

I like using Washi Tape on envelopes because it ties the whole look together and makes a great presentation when it's delivered to the recipient. I put it on the closer flap of each envelope and turn the excess Washi Tape to the back of it.

Dropping Anchor

Hello friends!  It seems that there's lots of ice and snow practically everywhere, but that doesn't stop me from longing for the sights and sounds of the ocean.  It has been a stressful week, and just the thought of sand between my toes is enough to calm the spirit and settle the "monkey mind!"  That sense of peace provides an anchor through the storm.

These supplies were strewn across my desk for another project (more on that another day!) but my heart had a detour in mind and I had to make this card first!  I am hoping that you got the feeling of the boardwalk and the fourth of July when you first saw it. 

  

The inside is reminiscent of the shorebirds patiently wading through the tide pool.  Kinda makes me  wanna go shell seeking or searching for sea glass!  Well...maybe when it's warmer!  ;)  

Here are the Eyelet Outlet supplies I used for this project:

• anchor brads
• seagull brads

If I had had it, I would have added some seahorse washi tape because the colors look like they'd work perfectly with this designer paper!  There are quite a few options for a beach themed, summer vacation card if you are longing for summer or if you're lucky enough to go for a winter getaway!  

Sweet Little Sailor!

I have had so many fun Summery papers strewn across my desk lately that I keep coming up with ideas for these Eyelet Outlet anchor brads!  Today's is a cute onesie card.  There is probably a cut file for something similar somewhere if you have a machine, but mine was made with a few circle and square dies, some washi tape and a brad.  

It's very easy to adapt these for either a boy or a girl by changing the colors, prints, collar shape, and embellishments.  It is also a lot of fun to personalize them to fit the characteristics and interests of the parents-to-be, so when it comes to the washi tape and brads that you could use, the sky is really the limit!  Here I chose some skinny glitter washi tape and a single silver anchor brad.  

I hope you'll try one of these fun shaped cards when you need a cute greeting for a baby shower!  

Have a great weekend!

Hope Anchors the Soul!

Hello everyone, on this last day of June!  I hope you have had a great week!  My American friends are looking forward to a long holiday weekend and the 4th of July holiday so I'm here with a nautical themed card with red, white and blue accents.  I love nautical cards for Summer, but in a city with a Naval Air Station, you can send nautical cards year round, especially one with this kind of sentiment.

I used a Stampendous stamp set and paper-pieced the sails, sponging the clouds in the sky with a scalloped circle mask.  The focal image is framed along the right side with a trio of anchor brads, and along the bottom with a strip of striped washi tape which, in this clean and simple design, both help to lead the eye toward the sentiment.  

Inside, another strip of washi tape forms a border ending with a single anchor.  (If you really like clean and simple designs, this could work for a card front!)

Enjoy your weekend!  

Let's Be Adventurers!

Hello friends!  Are you looking forward to the weekend?!  Summer has officially started and with school ending, that means more freedom to do more fun things!

My card for today is made with Eyelet Outlet products, and stamps purchased when I visited the new local scrapbook/stamping store in our area.  They had Eyelet Outlet products (yay!) and lots of fun stamp sets and designer papers to go with them!

The anchor and ship wheel are classic symbols of Summer!  I love how perfectly our anchor brads coordinate with the anchors in our cruise washi tape.  (There are also ship wheel brads that go perfectly with it!).  The contrast of the black and white washi looks great against this hot Summer yellow and navy color scheme.

Inside, there is another anchor to accent the sentiment...and a sprinkling of stars to help navigate the way!

The anchors and stars that I used today are the metallic ones, but they're also available in red, white and blue.  You can find those here and here!  And we have jewel star brads and sticky back enamel stars as well!  Such a wide variety really makes crafting Summer cards easy and a lot of fun!

Enjoy your Summer adventures!
