Cozy Fall Vibes

This sweet bear has postponed hibernation in order to enjoy all the coziest parts of autumn. She's got plenty to read, thanks to Eyelet Outlet Book Tape and Book Brads; a yarncraft project, thanks to our Knitting Brads; even a Tissue Brad in case of a few sniffles. This card also sports Script Tape and Clock Washi, for a background that's simple, without being plain.

Time to Celebrate!

Good morning, crafters! Let's have some fun with Eyelet Outlet washi tape today! 

I found a pocket watch image in the Cricut image library and I sliced off the face of the watch, leaving only the chain. Using print then cut, I applied the chain in the upper corner as well as toward the bottom of the card. Then I combined a couple of strips of our clock washi tape with a strip of wood grained washi tape applied diagonally across the base of the card before adding the pocket watch brads to the ends of the chains.

Sometimes it's difficult to come up with masculine cards, but I think this one does the trick! You'll find many brads and tapes at Eyelet Outlet for your masculine cards and projects.

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure and check back often to see what our designers have for you!

 

A Simple Time

 

This week's card takes us back in time. It takes us to a time that was much simpler when there were no cell phones, no computers and if you wanted to get something done you needed to use good old fashioned elbow grease. 

I created this card using multiple steampunk/old fashioned type washi tape cut in squares for the background. If you look closely, one of the squares is the pre embossed faux leather Eyelet Outlet offers at their shows. 

Attached to the base are three tags, each bejeweled and embellished with multiple old fashioned type brads and bling. The card is finished off with multiple large, stippled jewels and several different chip board sentiments. 

This is a fun card that will be sure to brighten anyone’s day and bring them back to a simpler time.

It's about Time!

I have a friend at work that is getting ready to retire so I wanted to make him a card to wish him the best.  After I made the card, I looked at it and something was missing.  It didn’t have the pizazz my cards usually have.  It was missing the “Stacy-tude” that comes with all my cards.

I grabbed my embellishments from Eyelet Outlet and found the absolute PERFECT brads and washi tape the card needed.  I added a Pocket Watch Brad, a phone from the Telephone and Fan Brads, two of the brushed silver Corner Brads, and some Clock Washi Tape. 

They matched the card so well it was like they were made to be put with this card.  

That’s the thing with EO. They have any and every type of brad you can think of to add to your card so they can have the “Eva-tude”, the “Maddie-tude”, the “Mary-tude” …any tude you want! 

Add your personal "tude" to your cards with EO!

I Love a Good Book

Eyelet Outlet has a variety book-themed products, 

including a brand new Books stamp set!

Today I'll show you two cards I made using this stamp set.

Card #1

I added a bit of Books Washi Tape to the inside of my card, too:

I love the stamp from the set that says "I'm not addicted to... I can quit as soon as I finish one more chapter." And how fun that the gap in the midst of it is just wide enough for a row of Books Washi Tape. WOW! That's pretty awesome!

Book #2

Again, some Books Washi Tape finished off the inside of my card:

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go read a while.

Ride On

Now that Spring is here (at least by the calendar)... it's time to think about outdoor activities.

I created the scene with a variety of Eyelet Outlet Brads:

Bicycle

Compass

Pine Trees

Sun/Clouds

I also used some Clock Washi Tape on both the front and the inside of my card:

Wherever your springtime activities take you, I hope you'll take time to create, using some FANTASTIC Eyelet Outlet products, of course.

More Cards Inspired by Music

Music always inspires me!  It's funny, but my brain thinks in lyrics and music nearly as often as it does in words and images.  Sometimes I wake up with music and an idea in my head.  Other times, it's like a recording on replay and the idea takes time to soak in and take shape.  

I have two projects today that are both music-inspired, blessed by a bit of serendipity, and definitely influenced by my design teammates and their creativity!  (Did you see Susan's card from yesterday and all of these cool "plumbing" cards?!)

First up is a punny version of "What are you doin' New Year's Eve?"   I had deliberately planned to use watercolor paper, paints and distress inks with our pipe brads, but as I was cutting the words, the stamped sentiment happened to assume the shape of a tree.  I looked down and couldn't resist going with the flow (I know, another corny pun, but I had to do it!).  

It made sense to use Clock Washi Tape and Music Note Washi Tape - Mini Notes as part of the background along with a clock stencil, and of course, the tree had to have gold glitter enamel ornaments and be topped with a sparkling Jewel Star Brad.     

Inside, the clock and music motifs repeat, with a watercolored, stamped calendar to save the date!  

My second card practically made itself...the paper clay bells ornament is one that I made way back when I was on the FlowerSoft design team.  From the minute I laid eyes on the Holiday Bell Washi Tape, I knew they would have to play together!  Looks so pretty with EO jewel bling in multi sizes.

I'm sure you're not surprised to see more of my favorite Skinny Washi Tape.   That red is a great match and is simply perfect for the holidays!  

I can't believe Christmas is only 10 days away!  Time is short to squeeze in a few more holiday cards!    Wishing the best to you and yours!  See you next week!
