May the Luck O' the Irish Be Yours!

Hello everyone! I feel the start of spring and it gave me the inspiration to make a St. Patrick's card. I was inspired by a design posted by Jennifer Willert in Cricut Design Space. I used several EO products to make this design my own including brads and lots of bling!

To make this card, I cut the white panel using the pattern in Design Space. I cut the black pot and the background for the gold in the pot and three shamrocks out of scrap cardstock. Behind the lattice design I placed a panel I made using strips of Sparkle Gold Glitter Washi Tape.

For the pot, I added several Gold Glitter Enamel Dots and I put two Beer Brads on the front of it. After stamping the sentiment, I put a Rainbow Brad below it. Next I put a round Jewel Bling with a clear edge in the middle of two of the shamrocks. I inked up a White Paper Flower with green ink and put one of the completed shamrocks on top and put it in the top left corner of the white panel. I doubled up the other shamrock and put it in the right corner. Finally I added rows of colored Jewel Bling Strips to form a rainbow.

To finish this card, I matted the white panel on top of a green piece of cardstock and then placed the two layers on a white A2 card. There's a lot going on with this card but I think it turned out well and I know one of my Irish friends will enjoy receiving it.

Cutest Little Pop-Up Christmas Tree Card

Let’s start off on the front of the card. The red base is embossed in little polka dots with two die cut scalloped-edged cut outs which was the perfect place for the Happy Holidays chipboard sentiment. The cute Christmas tree is embellished with multiple Cut Jewel Bling in red, clear, green, purple, orange, blue and champagne. I also used Red Swirl Bling to add more shine and movement to the card. You will also notice clear Jewel Bling on the front as well.

 

Once you open the card, you will see the most festive 3D Christmas tree that pops up right from the middle of the card. The adorable Christmas tree is dazzled with multiple sizes of Jewel Bling in red, light blue, orange, green and purple. They look like little Christmas bulbs when the light shines on them!  The Christmas tree skirt has Black Bling highlighting its edges.

I used of farmhouse style ribbon in black and white with a Large Black Bumpy Bling in the center of each hand tied bow.  Unfortunately, I think the black bumpy bling sold out when I was making this so I attached a link to the clear bumpy bling which would be just as pretty!

 The Merry Christmas sentiment is bejeweled with Green Jewel Bling. And to top off the card on the left-hand side, I added some beautiful Black Swirl Bling to add extra light and movement. You all have awesome taste because it looks as though the Black Swirl Bling is sold out, as well.  I linked to the Green Swirl Bling as that was my second choice when making this card.  It will look beautiful!

As you can see, using Eyelet Outlets bling’s will always make any card sparkle, shine, and glitter. Make sure you always have enough bling on hand to spruce up any card you are sending. 

I hope you enjoyed this week's card, and I cannot wait for you to see next weeks project.

Peaceful Winter

A simple, snowy card featuring baubles filled with wintery Eyelet Outlet wildlife brads: Penguins, Moose and Polar Bears, oh my!

I diecut three ornament shapes, each composed of navy paper flecked with snow for the sky; and white glitter paper for the ground. Then I added two Penguin Brads and a small Snowflake; a stately Moose Brad in front of a Pine Tree; and a mother and baby Polar Bear. I mounted the ornaments on foam tape for extra dimension and positioned them under some sparkly pine branches, then added clear Bling Strips as hangers. I think they're SNOW fun and festive!

Sparkle and Shine

***NOTE:  There's a sale at Eyelet Outlet Online Store through 12/7/19.  Use code decsale for 20% off on orders over $20.00.  It's time to take advantage of the sale and stock up on your favorite bling, washi, brads, eyelets, etc.***

Today's card is entitled "Sparkle and Shine".  If you have a friend or loved one who loves a little sparkle and shine then this birthday card is perfect.

The card features Eyelet Outlet's Glitter Star Washi tape, Jewel Bling Strips, and a White Paper Flower.  The Glitter Star Washi Tape can be used in many ways, however, in this example strips of the washi tape are laid one above the other to cover the entire card.  The sticky-backed Jewel Bling Strips are placed at the seams of the washi tape and the White Paper Flower is in four layers accented with individual jewel bling pieces cut from the strip of bling.

The picture above doesn't fully show the beauty of the washi as it also has a fine glitter that provides the sparkle (see below).  The color combination reminds me of an aurora borealis sky (another card idea) and is complimented so nicely by the bling strips.

The card goes together quickly, however, there's two tips to consider:
* because of the micro glitter on the washi surface, a 'dab' of glue on the beginning and ending of the bling strips is required; and
* use a ruler to lay down a straight line of jewel bling strips.

The Eyelet Outlet materials used include:

Glitter Star Washi Tape

Jewel Bling Strips

White Paper Flower

Happy Crafting!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Today I'm bringing you a couple of sweet rosette angels I created in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

One  angel is beautifully embellished with Eyelet Outlet Fancy Pearl and Jewel Bling and the other with Pink Jewel Strips.  

The white rosettes at the top were embellished with Eyelet Outlet Silver Glitter Washi Tape. I applied the embellishments to the rosettes before fan folding them.  

And finally,  attached to each angel's sign is an Eyelet Outlet Pink Ribbon Quicklet. Text on the signs is available in the Cricut image library.  The faces on the angels are digital stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps.  

Thanks for stopping in today! If you're in the Ontario, Canada area, stop by and see us in person at the Scrapbook Expo this weekend!

Deck the Halls

It's Kim from Katydid Cards.  

It's time to deck the halls if you're into decorating for the holidays.  These days, this is an easier way for me to decorate...on a card!  While I'd like to say, "and there's no clean-up" the truth is I make quite the mess when I make cards.  I have all sorts of supplies and tools scattered everywhere and tend to work in only a square foot of open space.

This card showcases a number of Eyelet Outlet brads including the Holly, Wreath and Holiday Light.  Also used are the Hardwood and Gold Foil Washi Tape and Red Jewel Bling Strips. The tree's topper is the Glitter Enamel Star.

I cut the stair steps from a Stampin' Up die.  I cut it a second time after placing the Hardwood Washi Tape to it and cut the base from the posts.   I topped the stairs with the Holly and added the Wreath which I further adorned with smaller Jewel Bling.  Here's another picture of the card, slightly opened.

And here is the card, fully opened.  An accent table, also covered in Hardwood Washi Tape hosts an arrangement of Poinsettia brads.

So this card is all about the inside of the house.  Did you happen to catch my Rooftop cards? If not, you can take a peek here.

From Our Home to Yours

It's Kim from Katydid Cards joining you today.

I always liked cards with the greeting, "from our home to yours".  It seems like they always have a warm, welcoming feel to them.  I'm hoping this card does as well with the adorable new Wreath brads.  I combined them with the Holly brads, Jewel Bling Strips, and Holly Washi Tape.

Here's a closer look with the hope that you can see that, after I attached the holly panels, I embossed the entire card with a holly patterned embossing folder.  Before attaching the houses, I scored every eighth inch to simulate siding.  The wreaths have pinecones on them, but I decided to place a Jewel over each pinecone for a more festive look.

Inside, I wanted to accent the simple sentiment with the Holly Washi Tape and the Skinny Red and Green Washi Tape.

Before I go, I wanted to share a link from a house of another sort in case you missed it.  A Gingerbread House!
