Deck the Halls (and Cards!) with Eyelet Outlet Brads and Bling!

Hello, crafty friends! Are you ready to add some serious sparkle and charm to your last minute holiday cards? Today, I'm excited to share a recent creation that’s bursting with festive cheer, all thanks to some amazing embellishments from Eyelet Outlet. If you love brads, bling, and a touch of vintage flair, you’re in for a treat!

For this card, I wanted to create a rich, traditional holiday feel with a bit of a whimsical twist. I started with a striking red background, which I embossed with a beautiful poinsettia pattern. This instantly adds texture and depth, making the red pop even more.

Next, the star of the show - the Christmas tree! I cut a classic tree shape and then went wild with the bling, carefully trimming it with five different colors of gorgeous gems. They cascade down the branches like sparkling garland, catching the light beautifully.

Strip Bling - Clear, Blue, Purple, Red and Orange
12mm Stippled Jewel Brads

A Zesty Birthday!

 

I'm a fan of citrus used on a card so I was thrilled when Eyelet Outlet released their Lemonade and Fruit Slices brads last year. It has a lemonade pitcher and wedges of oranges, lemons, and limes. Recently I came across a stamp set that featured an orange so I had to purchase it knowing it would be perfect for several EO brads. 

To make this A2 card, I started by inking and blending the orange background on watercolor paper. Once dry, I cut it out with a die. I stamped and colored the balloons and orange. I also stamped the sentiment on the bottom and cut out the Happy Birthday words in pearlized white cardstock. I added two bright Balloon Brads to the balloon cluster and added the glasses, hat brads and pearl bling to the orange. I used orange and green chalk on the orange as well. The I put all the pieces on the card and added the Orange wedges from the Lemonade and Fruit Brad set. Finally I added the orange Jewel Strip Bling. The result is a card that is good for the young or old, female or male and it makes me smile. It's perfect as an add to my stash for future use.
