Christmas in July

 Anytime is a good time for Eyelet Outlet bling, but Christmas is an extra good time! Be sure and stock up now while supplies last for all the bling you'll need for your Christmas crafts.

For this project, I added our gorgeous Holiday Flower Bling to the sweater and for the accents in the corners I used this holiday bling. I also added a few clear gems for some extra sparkle. Did you notice that I hung the sweater on one of our popular hanger brads? Don't check out until you add some snowflake brads to your cart! You know you'll need those for your holiday projects!

Figgy Pudding

This little figgy pudding was fun to make and adorn
 with the wonderful seasonal embellishments from the Eyelet Outlet.

First, he was die cut in traditional red and green holiday colors and

a holly brad added to his top along

 with black matte dots around his scarf.

Finally along the corners of the the card I brightened it up with
some fabulous gems from Eyelet Outlet.

Recipe Scrapbooking

 My journey with Eyelet Outlet began when I was introduced to recipe scrapbooking back in 2009.  I discovered their amazing selection of cooking/food related brads and I was hooked!  Over the years I turned to card making as my predominate craft, but now and then I take some time to return to my first love-recipe scrapping.  

This week I decided to make a page for a holiday favorite in my family.  It wouldn't be Christmastime at my house without one of these rum cakes!

I'm so happy to have replaced my tattered 1977 recipe card with this fancy page in my recipe scrapbook!  I used the wooden spoon, mixer, measuring cup, and saucepan brads on the recipe. All of these and many more all found in the Food, Drink, & Cooking Brads tab at Eyelet Outlet. 

I also added some beautiful Eyelet Outlet bling and gems, candy brads and holly brads and I'm so thrilled with how fancy this page turned out!

Thanks for stopping in today! I hope I've inspired you to scrapbook some of your family's favorite receipes!

Tag, You're It!

 What do you get when you pair Eyelet Outlet Brads, Bling, Washi and Flowers with Jumbo Christmas Tags from EZ Laser Designs? Holiday magic, of course!

The jumbo Christmas Tags measure 3 x 5" and come in packs of six beautiful laser cut overlays, each with a plain white backer tag. Each pack has a tree, a deer and bells cut into a deep green tag; plus a stocking, candies and baubles in a rich red. The tags are nice and sturdy and the pre-punched holes are generous enough to thread ribbon or twine through easily.

For the bells tag I (Lauren) filled the white backer tag with Holiday Flower Bling and Holly Brads in a pretty pattern, then used another Holly Brad to affix a couple of white Paper Flowers to the ribbon at the top. I made the tree tag into a simple shaker by backing the laser-cut tree with a scrap of acrylic packaging, then filled the shaker compartment with Red Snowflake Bling as well as Snowflake and Star Sequins; the backer tag is adorned with Merry Christmas Script Tape and I framed up the design with red Jewel Strips. For the sweet reindeer, I neatly lined up strips of Seasons Greetings Washi on the white backer tag, then added Snowflake Brads to the green tag.

I used Twig Tape on the white backer of the candy tag then affixed a bit of golden patterned paper behind the sweets and added some Peppermint Candy Brads in purple on top. The stocking tag is adorned with green and white Paper Flowers held on with a Poinsettia Brad, which coordinates perfectly with the Poinsettia Washi in the background. The ornament tag has a backer of Ornament Tape and an assortment of Ornament Brads to match.

EZ Laser Designs has many other varieties of tags and overlays for all your cardmaking, giftwrapping and scrapbooking needs... and of course Eyelet Outlet has embellishments to make them even more lovely, as well as uniquely yours!

Red Glitter Christmas Gift Bag

 Hello everyone! So now that Halloween is over, I feel like Christmas is staring me down like a freight train! It's going to be here before I know what's happened. I thought making a few small gift bags would be fun and I know I'll definitely need them in December.

My bag pattern is from Cricut Design Space. After cutting and gluing it together, I used Tea Dye Distress Ink to enhance the edges and the flap. 

This bag features lots of Eyelet Outlet goodness! From top to bottom, I used Pearl Strip Bling-500 Count in three rows. Between the first and second row, I applied Sparkle Red Glitter Tape. The ornament was made by laying strips of the glitter tape on red cardstock. In the middle, I used a strip of Merry Christmas Tape. Once it was all covered with tape, I used a Kiwi Lane Ornament Template to trace and cut out the shape. On the ornament I placed a Holiday Flower Bling, single Pearl Bling and a pair of Deer Brads. Finally at the bottom I placed a row of Fancy Long Bling - Wide in red.   

I hope you are keeping an eye on our blog and Facebook pages because I know the Design Team has a lot of boxes, bags and tags that they will be featuring now through Christmas. You will get lots of great ideas for packaging this season. You can be the gift giving Ninja this year with a little help from your Eyelet Out friends!

Christmas in July!

I've made several variations of Ugly Christmas Sweater cards, but one thing is for sure - when I embellish those sweaters with Eyelet Outlet products, they are definitely NOT ugly! Since the sentiment I planned to use on this card was "Tis The Season to Sparkle," I decided to embellish my card with some of Eyelet Outlet's bling.

The front of my sweater features the Holiday Flower Bling and in the corners I used Holiday Bling.  For an extra touch of sparkle, I added some clear stick on gems.  Of course, I had to hang my sweater on one of popular hanger brads and then I topped it off with a snowflake brad.

One of the things I like about posting on Thursdays is the occasional "Throw Back!"  Here's another sweater card that I made in 2017.  

After embossing the face of the card with an argyle embossing folder for a real sweater feel, I added a Christmas tree embellished with some Eyelet Outlet enamel dots in various colors and sizes.  I also used some of the stunning Fancy Long Bling with Pearls and Jewels.  For the tree topper I used some Snowflake bling.  

Be sure to join Eyelet Outlet and many other amazing vendors at the Virtual  Stamp & Scrapbook @ Home event on Facebook this weekend, July 11th.  We've been having lots of fun at these virtual shows and you will, too!  

It's the Big Day!

Wishing a very Merry Christmas 

to everyone who is celebrating today, 

from all of us at Eyelet Outlet!

It's Kim from Katydid Cards with my final Valentine's Card and possibly my favorite of the three I made this year.  I used several kinds of bling on this card; Heart Jewel Bling, Red Jewel Multi-Sized Bling, the smallest red bling from the Fancy Long Bling and the red marquis shaped bling from the Holiday Flower set.

The card base was cut using the file purchased in the Silhouette store.  I adapted the card base to create the label for the greeting.  The eyeglasses are also a Silhouette store cut file.
The patterned paper, retired Stampin' Up, was a great match.  Words of love, but rather reminds me of an eye test, too.

Here's a closer look at the eyeglasses and all that luscious bling.

Inside, a little play on words and the Eyeglasses Brads to complete the look.

It's All About The Bling!

Christmas time is a card makers favorite time of the year, wouldn't you agree?  I know it's mine!  Today I'm bringing you a card that only has two ingredients, but they are a winning combination!  I used Cricut Adhesive Foil and Eyelet Outlet Bling for this project.

I think you'll agree that the Holiday Bling in Red & Green are must-have!  I also used the Holiday Flower Bling for this project.

The ornaments are from Teresa Collins Christmas Ornaments cartridge.  Using the hide contour tool in Cricut Design Space, I eliminated the original cut outs in the ornaments so that I could adorn them with gorgeous Eyelet Outlet Bling.  With the cut outs gone, there was happily less weeding to do on the foil and so this card actually came together very quickly.  I used clear contact paper to transfer the foil elements to the card base.  The foil comes in several colors, and the Eyelet Outlet Bling comes in lots and lots of amazing colors and styles, so you can really have fun with the combinations on this project.  

Here is the same card with blue foil and blue bling. 

And I love this teal foil and the pearl and jewel strip.

The Fancy Long Zig Zag Bling that I used on the round ornaments is my favorite and it comes in several colors, but today I only had the clear on hand, but can you can image how pretty these would have been in these other delicious colors!?  

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to fill your shopping carts with some of our fabulous bling today!
