For Mom

Butterfly Wings
Like a butterfly emerges and unfolds its graceful wings,
A child grows and develops with the love a mother brings.
I'm thankful for the times when you encouraged me to try, 
For God gave me wings, but, Mom, you taught me how to fly.

By Robin Fogle

In creating my card I started with the butterfly washi tape and adhered it to white cardstock. I then cut in strips to create my "stripes" and layered on cardstock. I added the sentiment greeting and embellished with green jewels, butterfly brads, and a white daisy brad. 

I hope this inspires you to create a card today and show your love and appreciation this Mother's Day.

Flamazing Flamingo

 "This is what Flamazing looks like" was inspired by the adorable pink flamingo brads! Wouldn't this be a fun card to give to someone you would like to show your appreciation to? 

I created this card by starting with the flamingo wide washi tape for my top and bottom borders. I added coordinating green cardstock for the middle. Then created my sentiment adding the flamingo brads, green jewels strip for extra embellishment, and layered with pink patterned cardstock.

Warm Winter Wishes Slimline

 

It's Janet here for Eyelet Outlet. EO has so many perfect brads and washi for holiday cardmaking. It's literally hard to figure out what you want to use! 

Today I have a holiday slimline card featuring the new Female Cardinal Brad. It pairs so perfectly with the Cardinal Profile and Cardinal Brad sets that have been carried a while in the store. The Holly Brads are also so versatile and can be used on any holiday card. I used one here as part of the cluster that the cardinals are perched on. I also used Snowflake Brads in the background. 

It's also easy to bling up your cards using EO washi and bling. Here I used Glitter Silver Washi and Sparkle Red Glitter washi for the mat and for the border going through the card. Just apply the tape to cardstock and cut with your favorite die or electronic cutter. So easy and you waste hardly anything!

As a finishing touch, I added some White Pearl Bling and Green Jewel Bling to the middle of the snowflakes. So pretty!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you visit the store and get your holiday card making started.

Pun-y Breakfast Artist Trading Cards and Coins!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a super fun set of four artist trading cards and coins, created with the coordinating Breakfast Stamps and Bacon Egg & Toast Brads, along with Blue Jewel Bling, Clear Jewel Bling, Green Jewel Bling and Gray Enamel Dots! You just can't go wrong with stamps and brads that coordinate with each other!

I cut and punched the card and coin bases (two for each ATC) from white cardstock along with some patterned paper layers. I adhered the patterned paper layers to the bases to make the four ATCs, stamped the sentiments from Breakfast Stamps on each one, and added the Bacon Egg & Toast Brads. I then added Blue Jewel Bling, Clear Jewel Bling, Green Jewel Bling and Gray Enamel Dots and adhered the extra base on the back of each ATC for stability. 

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

Do you have a friend you're grapeful for?!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun friendship/thank you card featuring our Grape Brads, Purple Foil Washi Tape, Pink Foil Washi Tape and Green Jewel Bling! I'm such a sucker for pun-y sentiments and this one rates right up there, lol!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock along with a layering panel from dark purple cardstock, rounded all four corners, and adhered the purple panel to the card base. Using a mini cover plate die, I cut panels from lime green and white cardstock, placed strips of Purple Foil Washi Tape alternating with strips of Pink Foil Washi Tape on the green panel so they'll show through the dashed apertures, and then adhered the white panel on top. I added several Grape Brads and adhered the piece to the card front. I added the sentiment and Green Jewel Bling to complete the front of the card.

I cut the inside panel from white cardstock and embellished it with strips of lime, white and dark purple cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in green ink and layered the panel on the purple cardstock.

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

I Did the Math

Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards and today I'm sharing a cute birthday card featuring a number of Eyelet Outlet products on a clever card design called the "impossible card".  It would have been impossible for me to figure out how to do this without a video tutorial, I can tell you that!

So, back to the card.  First I used the Colored Math Washi Tape to cover the panels which are then matted on black before attaching to the card base.  Then I used the Hardwood Floor Washi Tape to frame the chalkboard.   And finally, I used the Chalk Board Washi Tape for the board itself.  These are three of my favorite washi tapes as they are so versatile!

To write on the board, I used a chalk pen as the washi really does act like a chalkboard.  To give it an "authentic" look, I also dusted it with embossing powder so it would appear as if it had been erased.  The finishing touch for the board is the Apple Brad.

Here's a picture of the side so you can see the clever design while I share that I also made a tray for the chalk and eraser I cut by covering a thin piece of cardstock with the Hardwood washi and then adding mounting tape to the back before attaching to give it dimension.

I also cut a thin strip of the Chalk Board washi and ran it across the strip on the bottom front of the card and then added Green Jewel Strip over that.

And here's the back of the card.  I admit, this sentiment is not for everyone but I have lots of friends who share my dry sense of humor!

Last week I totally forgot to share my Eyelet Post on my blog.  If you follow Eyelet Outlet's blog you already saw this; but just in case, here it is:

Pumpkins!

It's Kim from Katydid Cards today and I'm happy to be spending time with you.

I tend to use pumpkins on my cards long after Halloween as they are such beautiful symbols of my favorite season, Autumn.  So, even though I've set my sights on Thanksgiving cards, pumpkins figure prominently.

On my first card, I used the Pumpkin Brads.  I also used the Mini Leaf Brads and Maple Leaf Quicklets.

This is a pocket card, which started out as a Silhouette store design #31587.  I eliminated the pumpkin, replacing it with the bushel of pumpkins file #49952.  Of course, I changed that up a bit as well to accommodate the brads.  Once I had my basic design laid out, I then selected the digital patterned paper and an embellishment from the Pumpkin Patch Kit by NitWit Collections to fill the base.

Here's a closer look at the bushel.  I just love those Pumpkins...the way the light hits them!  And see the leaves I added to the left; two large Maple Quicklets and two Mini Leaves.  While I didn't share a close-up of the Pumpkins, you can see I added three with two Mini Leaves and some of that vine I will expand on in a moment.

To accent, I used covered floral wire which I curled around a skewer as vines.  I learned this trick from the very talented Tina Goodwin.
Inside, I used another file from the Silhouette store.  This time, item #100116.  I converted it to print only as my sentiment.  Here's a look at that.

Next up, I took a totally different approach to my pumpkin using Orange Jewel Bling, Green Jewel Bling and Clear Jewel Bling (which I colored with Copic markers).  I used a rhinestone setting pattern as a general placement guide.  This took a while to do, but I sure do like the outcome.

I used Ivory Confetti card stock from Stampin' Up for the scalloped circle and card base.  The mats were cut from scrap patterned paper.  The greeting was from the now defunct My Digital Studio.  I dissected it a bit.  The bottom half of it is inside the card:

I hope you like my pumpkin themed cards and I'm sharing them early just in case you want to do something like this for your Thanksgiving cards.  This will give you enough time to order your Eyelet Outlet supplies.

Another harbinger of Autumn is colorful leaves.  If you missed my previous Eyelet Outlet post with my Autumn leaves shaker, here it is.

Before I leave you today, I just wanted to share there's some new washi in the Eyelet Outlet store if you want to go check it out.  And don't forget to sign up for the newsletter so you don't miss any of the updates!
