Christmas Gift Box

One of my favorite things about the holidays is using my craft supplies to create beautiful gift boxes for my family and friends.  I used my Cricut to create this particular box.  The bottom is  made with white cardstock and I used a digital snowflake paper to create the lid.

I added some gorgeous Eyelet Outlet snowflake bling in both the 1.5" inch size and also the larger 2" size.. I created this slider for the top also and added some skinner silver washi tape, a holly brad, the new Santa brad, and a heart brad.  I applied silver glitter washi tape to a strip of card stock to create the band that the slider fits on to.

At the Creech Household, the prettier the package, the more likely the gift is underwear!

 

Christmas in July: Snowy Woods Edition

I (Lauren) don't know about you, to me the time that snow and ice really start looking good is NOW... when New Jersey's hot (90F) and humid (75%+) weather makes Christmas in July seem very appealing indeed. Luckily Eyelet Outlet's frosty, glitter washi tape, Snowflake Sequins and winter critters are happy to be featured on cards and tags no matter what the temps happen to be!

I saw some mini shaker tags on Instagram and immediately knew what I wanted to make. I used a set of Sunny Studio Tag Dies and my trusty 1.5" square punch to create homes for my Polar Bear Brads, Deer Brads and even a Handsome Snowman; plus a few Snowflake Brads, of course.

I backed the insides of the shaker windows with Glitter Tall Tree Tape, Glitter Star Tape and Glitter Tree Tape; then filled the shakers with Snowflake Sequins and Gold Star Sequins. After I sealed up the shakers, I backed the tags with contrasting cardstock, added some jute twine, a few sticker sentiments and called it good.

Whether it's hot or cold where you are, this is definitely a good time to get started on some Winter Holiday makes with your favorite EO items!

Halloween Treat Bags

 

Decorating these little Halloween treat bags was such fun!  There's so many amazing Halloween themed embellishments available at Eyelet Outlet, as you can see from this project. And there's even more at EyeletOutlet.com

This little witch is from Cricut's Mini Monster's image set, but I substituted Eyelet Outlet Witch Legs brads for the originals.  I also used Eyelet Outlet Eye brads on her face and a round jeweled brad on her dress.  The jeweled brads are on sale now, too!   There's a mini spider brad in that cob web as well as a cute black kitten brad in the corner.  

And don't forget about the washi tape!  I used some purple glitter tape on my witch's hat as well as a few strips of black and white and some Happy Halloween tape.  

Thanks for being with us today and be sure and check back next week and see our newest brads!

Sky's the Limit!

I love the variety of brads that Eyelet Outlet has to offer.

Esp for those hard to craft for men and boys!

This weekend my neighbor was awarded the Eagle Rank in BSA.

I grabbed a package of Eagle Brads and some red/white/blue and gold washi tape to create this

congratulatory card.

To create the glittery "HAPPY," I laid Gold Glitter Washi Tape onto a piece of card stock.

Then I ran it through with a die to create the word.

Wonderful Idea for Washi Tape!!

Check out this fun idea on how to use Washi Tape on your greeting cards.

Start with a simple card base...and add your washi.

I used a metal ruler to "cut" the edges cleanly when the washi was already laid on the card base.

Then, I added fun stickers for the image and sentiment.

But you know that background is the highlight of the card!

Head on over to Eyelet Outlet and fill up that cart with your own choice of tapes!!
