A few more Halloween cards!

Spice up those bottles and potions with some of Eyelet Outlet's decorative Halloween Brads.

With spiders, bats, skulls, pumpkins...whew! 

Not to mention the witches legs (coming soon), witch hats, eyeballs, black cat brads...

the list just goes on and on!

Don't forget a bit of bling and glitter enamel dots...

all centered on glitter washi tape.

All that you need is a few die cut bottle shapes and a "Happy Fright Night" sentiment!

If washi tape is your love, check out this orange pumpkin!

Just a few sparkly bling and green leaves and a spider makes a cute card on the quick!

Then you have more time to gobble up that Halloween Candy!

Upcoming shows with Eyelet Outlet.

DIY Mini Brads Clips w/ Video

Ever have just one or two little brads left over from a pack and not sure what to do with them?  Here is a fun little embellishment you can make for your papercrafts using mini clothespins.  I use them for all kind of projects and I thought how fun to add a little something to the end to make them into character clips for planners, cards, mini albums, and so much more!

The fun clips are easy and use supplies you probably have in your stash!  Here is a video tutorial on how to make these fun little clips!

These little clips are a fun way to use up your stash of left over brads and turn them into some cute and fun!

They easily clip into a little planner, traveling notebook, or mini book to help see your place.  Seeing them all lines up in a little book is just too cute!

Have fun with mixing and matching the color of the clothespin with the brad to make all kids of fun color combinations!

Another Fun Fold!

Happy Saturday!  Halloween is just two short days away!  I enjoy this season so much and I'm disappointed that this year I will be missing out on meeting and greeting the trick or treaters.  (My son and I sing in a community choir and with concert just a few weeks away, we could not afford to miss our regularly scheduled Monday night practice).    

I saw another interesting fold tutorial over on Splitcoaststampers, and so I thought I would give it a whirl!  It turned out to be fast, easy and fun!

The design is great for coordinating prints and small stamps and fits into a regular envelope.  I used some cute skull and witch's hat brads, some glittery washi tape, and a few glossy enamel dots for accents.  Gotta love that grumpy frog face!

Have a great weekend, and a fabulously fun Halloween!

Halloween Library Card Drawer

Hello again!  It's Deb here with more Halloween decor!  Last year I bought this cute little library drawer as part of a Christmas kit, and I decided that it would be fun to change out the cards inside for the various holidays, so here's a little sampling of what's in it for Halloween.

The cards in the first slot are ATC sized.  Here's a haunted house street sign embellished with a glittery enamel dot, pointing the way to the spooky house up on the hill.  

The next slot is a little deeper.  It's got a Bingo card with mini candy corn markers, and another haunted house card.

This one is a clean and simple layout where the patterned paper does all the work.  It is accented with a ghost and a sparkling champagne jewel.

My dad was a pharmacist, as was my grandfather, so I am always drawn to old bottles...here's a potion bottle of Halloween microbes, complete with skull and crossbones warning, and swirling jewel bling "aroma."

The tallest card in the back slot is a coffin-shaped card.  I really wanted to stamp this one with wood-grain, but didn't have a wood-grained stamp, so spider webs had to do!  The hinges are nailed with orange pearl brads which brings in some Halloween color, but screw brads might have been even cuter!

I had a blast working on this last weekend.  I sat on the floor surrounded by Halloween stamps and papers and inks, watching football and crafting all day.  It was fun to use some of my favorite papers from my stash and a few stamps that haven't seen the light of day in a year or too.  I will be adding to this little collection as the days, weeks, and even years go by! Such a fun project!

Enjoy your week!  Don't eat too much of that Halloween candy you just bought!  ;)

ghouls, ghosts and goblins

Yes, it's the time of year to start having a little Halloween fun ... and what better way to do it than by checking out all of the great new Eyelet Outlet products in the store.

First ... skinny glitter tape ... yes, you read that right ... your favorite glitter washi tape (with absolutely no glittery mess) now comes in sets of three thin colors (and it's currently 40% off ... yep, on sale too).

I combined Silver, Black & Blue for a fun Halloween color palette.

Did you catch those fun eyes on my ghostie ... those are brads too (this card uses the small eyes ... there are bigger ones too).  Think about all the fun things you could add some eyeballs to.

And you can't forgot some fun skull and cross-bone brads ... and of course some new black enamel dots.

Thanks for having a little Halloween fun with me today.

Boo to You!

Hi everyone!  I was browsing Pinterest a few days ago and came across an interesting fancy fold card tutorial that I just had to try! It is a pop-up panel card!  This fancy fold is really impressive, and surprisingly not so difficult to make!  I love it, because it allows you to use several coordinating images and still leaves room for some fun embellishing!

Since the mechanics of the inside of the card are pretty thick, I kept the outside super simple.  This was a sheet of patterned paper printed with a moonlit scene, so all it really needed was a sentiment sticker atop some sparkly washi tape, and some black enamel dots.  

The unfolding pop-up panel is a bit of a "boo!" when the card is opened!

More washi tape and orange enamel dots add a splash of color to the inside of the card beneath the panel, and the skull brad is a fun detail that echoes the motif of one of the stamped images.  

I hope you're inspired to try a pop-up panel card too!  Be sure to go check out all of the new products that have been added to the store!
