Christmas in July

Let's beat the summer heat today by thinking about Christmas!  I broke out my Eyelet Outlet holiday brads to create this sweet gingerbread card.

For this card I chose one of the many sliders in the Cricut image library. These look great with ribbon running through the cut outs, but today I wanted to use the Eyelet Outlet red and white dot washi tape, so I applied the washi to a strip of card stock to serve as my ribbon.  

I chose one of the houses from the Gingerbread House Cookies image set and using the offset feature created a shadow layer for the house, then I flattened both layers together and made the house a print then cut image. The fun really kicked in when I began embellishing the house and slider with Eyelet Outlet gingerbread girl brad, holiday tree, sticky backed pearl heart, and a snowflake brad.

Hope all of our Eyelet Outlet fans are keeping cool in the heat wave and have a happy Fourth of July weekend!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing another fun Christmas card that would be super easy to mass produce! Even though I'm retired, I stay so busy I'm always trying to come up with easy designs that showcase these awesome Eyelet Outlet products!

I cut a standard A2 top-folding card base from white cardstock and a green cardstock layer. I tore white cardstock in three uneven strips to create snow banks and adhered them to the bottom of the green panel. I added four Holiday Tree Brads and stamped a sentiment in green ink in the bottom right corner. I applied two strips of Green Dots Washi Tape at the top of the green panel and adhered the panel to the card base. The final touch was adding Snowflake Bling. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Christmas in July (...technically, a week early...)

But these days there are TONS of awesome events and challenges surrounding the making of holiday cards all throughout July, and what better way to prepare than by stocking up on all your favorite Eyelet Outlet Holiday Brads, Washi Tape and Bling?! Hi folks, it's Lauren here again, with (seriously!) a couple of fun Xmas cards:

You may know that my craft bestie Stephanie and I have a fortnightly Christmas card blog called ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ so I am no stranger to making Xmas cards through the year. In fact, the only month I absolutely do not want to make holiday cards is... December! So any time that inspiration strikes me, I will happily sit down and make a couple of cards. In this case my first card was built around these sweeeeeeet Peppermint Candy Brads. In January I had picked up a super-cute gingerbread house stamp set in the post-holiday sales, and when I came across it again the other day and realized I *still* hadn't used it, I got right to work. I stamped the house in white, (thanks to Hero Arts' amazing Unicorn Ink!) added some gel pen details and a few sticky-back Pearl accents. I flanked the house with a Holiday Tree Brad and a Candy Cane, then built a little hilly little landscape, in which it is snowing candy! :)

My second card features these lovely Ornament Brads, which I'm embarrassed to say I don't use nearly enough. Or at least, I haven't until now. But seeing as all I needed to make this card was five Ornaments, portions of one Pearl Bling Strip and a stamped sentiment... I think this is an idea I will be revisiting over and over!

It's never too early to get a jump on the holidays, so I hope you'll be inspired to check out all the fun stuff in the EO Store. And of course we'd love to see you at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ as well! ♥
