Holiday Tags

 

Hello Ai Fans. So it's not even Halloween yet and here I am making Christmas tags! At first glance, it may seem crazy but as card makers and crafters, it's always good to work ahead. I recently purchased a set of tag dies and I knew these would be perfect to embellish with EO washi tapes, sequins, brads and bling.

First up, the Santa. His glittery red hat is made with Glitter Red Washi Tape. It's also decorated with a Clear Bumpy Brad and a Holly Brad. Inside the shaker, I included white sequins from the store. 

The snowflake is also cut from Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape. Inside I used Glitter Winter Washi Tape for the background and added blue and white sequins from the store. Once assembled, I also added three white Snowflake Bling pieces. 

SHOPPING LIST:

Holly Brads

Snowflake Bling White

White Sequins

Blue Sequins

Clear Bumpy Brad

Glitter Winter Washi Tape

Glitter Red Washi Tape

Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape

Thanks for joining me here today. Please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating!

Clean and Simple Holiday Spirit

Hey everybody! I hope last week was a good one and you're enjoying your weekend! Leslie here, back again as a guest designer, sharing a super cute clean and simple Christmas card showing off the Gnome 2 Brads, and a little extra pizzazz added with the Glitter Red Washi Tape and gemstones from the 4mm Red Jewel Bling Strip!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from heavyweight white cardstock along with short layering panels cut from two coordinating patterned prints, and rounded the bottom right corner of each. I applied a strip of the Glitter Red Washi Tape, stamped a sentiment, and added three Gnome 2 Brads. The finishing touch was adding several gemstones from a 4mm Red Jewel Bling Strip.

I cut the inside panel from white cardstock, embellished it with the same two patterned prints used on the front, and stamped a sentiment.

Gnome Alone

I (Lauren) come from a family that loves puns, and luckily that skill is appreciated in my role as an Eyelet Outlet Design Team Member. When I saw the adorable (g)new Gnome 2 Brads and Mushroom Washi Tape I couldn't wait to use them together with a suitably punny sentiment!

I couldn't decided whether to use the tape as a background or as part of my sentiment, so I decided to do both! I made two mini slimline cards, which each measure about 3.25 x 6.25". For the first, I applied the Mushroom Tape to some plain white cardstock, diecut the letters of "GNOME", added a pair of Gnomes to the M and E, and set the whole thing against a strip of Grass Washi. For the second card, I framed a single strip of the same Mushroom Tape with strips of Glitter Red Washi and Brick Tape, then stamped the sentiment and the little mushroom house from Lawn Fawn's Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set. I added a Gnome 2 Brad in front of the house, and a Sun and Cloud Brad to the scene. Since I had used the Red, Green and Brown Gnomes from the set, it seemed wrong not to make an extra little tag for the Blue Gnome to inhabit; it features the same Mushroom and Grass Tapes, plus letters cut from Wood Washi and a couple of Bee Brads up at the top.

If you can't get enough Gnomes, there are still a few original EO Gnome Brads in stock and they're on sale... while they last!

Paper Weaving Gift Bag

Things are getting festive here at Eyelet Outlet!  Here's another gift bag that takes an inexpensive bag and turns it into a beautiful gift bag for the holidays.  It's one that will be used year after year.

I enjoy paper weaving, however, this project takes it to another level by weaving with Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape!  Yes, washi tape. 

In this example, three different washi tapes are used:  1 solid and 2 with small details on them.  Prepare the washi by placing it on white cardstock and use a paper trimer to cut to the width of the washi tape creating strips of washi.  Measure the length and width of the bag to determine the length of the strips.  From there, this project follows the standard paper weaving technique.  Note:  weave the washi strips and adhere the woven strips to a piece of cardstock;  the cardstock is then glued to the bag. 

Eyelet Outlet Supplies Used:

Glitter Red Washi Tape

Red Stripe Skinny Washi Tape

Glitter Washi Tape - Green Pattern

Ornament Washi Tape

Christmas Tree Washi Tape

Head on over to the Eyelet Outlet site and explore the holiday-related Washi Tapes; there are so many options to decorate your holiday gift bags. 

Be safe.  Be well.  Happy Crafting!

 

Hanging Out

Hello everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today.

When I saw the cute Hanger Brads, the idea "Hanging Out" came to me immediately.  Now, how to incorporate it into a card...

Before my association with Eyelet Outlet, I rarely used washi tape; so I knew I wanted to use that as well.  Now, I'm having such fun with it I wonder why I rarely used it.  I made my card today using these luscious tapes:

Green Pattern Washi Tape

Glitter Green Washi Tape

Red Pattern Washi Tape

Glitter Red Washi Tape

Hard Wood Washi Tape

That red and green washi would work great on Christmas cards, tags and projects as well!

I'll show you a picture of my card first and then share a bit about how it came together.  

I made a vintage armoire using a cut file I found in the Silhouette Store.  I used Confetti White card stock, embossed it with a Woodgrain embossing folder and sponged all the edges with Crumb Cake ink.  The handles and the center medallion for the finial were made using the Multi-Sized Pearl Bling, colored with a Gold Leaf Pen.

I had such fun filling this armoire.  I found a free clip art dress image and traced it in my Silhouette.  I cut it and it became the base for my washi; which I attached trimmed the edges.  I added pockets of glitter washi and even added a pair of matching shoes for each.  The greeting appears on the inside of the doors.

I added a third hanger because it looked a bit empty in the middle.  Here's a closer look:

And here's the inside of the card...another hanger for good measure!

I hope you like my card and much as I liked sharing it with you.
