Celebrating Witchy Summerween

 

Some in the card world have coined the phrase Summerween to celebrate the Halloween season in the middle of the year. Here's one of my favorite Halloween cards made while on the EO Design Team. This is a pull tab pop-up card. Pull down the tab which cleverly warns, "Do not pull" and a witch pops up from behind the gravestone. Super fun and clever.

What makes this card really pop are the many EO brads of the season. Pumpkins, witch hats, black cats, bats and more make this one a lot of fun. Hope you enjoyed a flash into both the past and the future to celebrate the Halloween season!

Trick or Treat

It's almost time to Trick or Treat and these adorable critters are ready to go! Any set of adorable characters can be dressed up for Halloween, Christmas or a birthday party with a few Eyelet Outlet brad styles. The mummy bear has donned a Mustache Brad; the unicorn kitty is sporting a Tiara and Eye Glass Brads; the dashing dachshund has his Top Hat on and has invited a Long Dog friend to accompany him. Some Black Cat Brads obviously wanted to join the party and it would hardly be a spooky occasion without Bat and Pumpkin Brads. Thee handsome Frog Brad is wearing a Witch's Hat... or possibly... a powerful witch has been temporarily turned into a frog? Either way, this Boo Crew is definitely going to collect lots of candy and maybe win some prizes at the costume party! A mat of Spider Washi Tape is the perfect finishing touch to any creepy, kooky card.

🧙‍♀️🎃 Gnome Mischief! Too Cute to Spook Witch Card

I don't know what it is about gnomes, but they sure are cute! Dress them up for any holiday, and they just make you smile. Today, I'm featuring two adorable, witchy gnomes who are far too cute to scare!

This is a 5" x 7" card. To start, I used a pre-printed card base featuring an orange, black, and white background. I printed and cut out the cute gnome image from my computer, then created a matching orange mat. On top of that, I layered a black lace mat, which was then topped with an orange scalloped mat.

Next, I placed two strips of Cat Black Washi Tape as a top and bottom border. It's such a simple way to add more pattern and texture! I rounded opposite corners of the card for a little extra interest before placing the gnome image in the center.

I added a stamped sentiment and accented it with a Gnome Brad. Finally, I enhanced the printed image with several other Eyelet Outlet brads, including Candy Corn, Cat Brads, and a Witch Hat, to complete the spooky-cute look!

You can create a similar look with these EO products:

Wickedly Ghoulish Cake

Hello everyone! Would anyone care for a piece of haunted cake? Yes? Well, you're in luck! I have made a special cake that adds to the spooky fun of anyone's Halloween table.

This cake and table were made with dies from Cottage Cutz. It's a black forest cake with green glowing slime, I mean, frosting on top. I added several spooky brads from Eyelet Outlet to make it even more perfect for the occasion. After putting the dies together, I added some green glitter to the frosting. Then I cut an orange mat and a larger nested mat out of patterned paper. The purple mat was made by cutting a rectangle out of cardstock using a border scissor. Remember those? They definitely still are useful for quick mats and by rediscovering them I'm making some old tools new again! 

I hope I've inspired you to think about your spooky brads and to pick up some new ones for your own Halloween cards, treat boxes, bags, or even tags. You still have time if you get on your broom now and fly to the store! Here's some great ones used on my cake that provide many options for your projects.  

Shopping List:
Witch Hat Brads
Witch Leg Brads
Ghost Brads
Spider Brad
Vacuum & Broom Brads
Cat Brads-Black

Furry Friend Halloween Card

I'm a grandma to 4 kiddos as well as a few granddogs. I typically remember them at Christmas with a toy or treat, but today I decided the granddogs needed a Halloween treat, as well.

This darling sentiment as well as the bulldog are images from the Cricut image library. An Eyelet Outlet witch hat brad is serving as the dog's Halloween costume and he's out trick-or-treating for some yummy treats.  I added a paw brad and a dog bone from our Kennel Brad Mix to the sentiment. And when you're loading your cart at Eyelet Outlet, be sure and add some of our fantastic wide grass washi tape! I can honestly say it's my fav of all the amazing tapes we offer.

Thanks for stopping in and be sure to check out all our dogs and dog themed products at Eyelet Outlet.

If you're a Cricut crafter and would like to give this project a try, visit my Cricut Profile in Cricut Design Space for file. 

Got Candy? (YES!)

 Be sure to stock up on Eyelet Outlet's new Candy Corn Brads, just in case some adorable Trick or Treaters show up a little early this year. These monsters have donned Witch Hat Brads and can spot any stray candy from far away, thanks to their two (or more!) Eye Brads.

Witching You a Happy Halloween Interactive Card

Hello everyone! Are you a big Halloween fan? I sure am! I have so much fun with Halloween because there's so many fun images out there to work with. This is an interactive pull tab card made with a new set from Diamond Press called Boo to You. When you pull the tab, you get to see the witch pop out from behind the tombstones. This die and stamp set seems like it was made for Eyelet Outlet embellishments! They enhance this card perfectly! 

The set comes with clear instructions and the dies and stamps needed to make this pull tab card. Before assembling it, I added all the cute EO brads. The pumpkin is sporting a Witch Hat Brad. There are two Cat Brads-Black on top and in front of tombstones. A Pumpkin Brad sits to the right of the main tombstone. Two Ghost Brads and a Bat Brad are floating in the background. Finally, I used a Cloud Brad in front of the orange moon. Super cute!

Candy Corn Delight

 I can hardly believe that Halloween weekend is next week! Time does indeed fly doesn't it? Guess what else flies? Well, a witch of course and it happens to be the theme of my card for you today.

I used several Halloween washi tapes and brads to make a fun gate fold card. To begin, I cut the candy corn shapes out of colored cardstock on my Cricut machine. This is an easy shape and you could also easily sketch the candy corn shape and cut the pieces out. I used yellow and orange cardstock for the bottom layers. The washi tape I chose has a white background but the yellow and orange cardstock colors peak through the background of the washi tape. This allows me to get the traditional color scheme for candy corn. 

I used three washi tapes for the side panels. On the left is Skull Washi Tape and Boo Washi Tape. On the right I used a single strip of Wide Wood Washi Tape. The bottom layer of the candy corn is Gnome Fall Washi Tape. The middle layer is Hat and Broom Washi Tape. The top is Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape. 

I used many brads on the right panel. They include the Vacuum and Broom Brads, Bat Brads, Witch Hat Brads and Witch Leg Brads. This wouldn't be my card if I didn't add some bling so the final touch are Orange Pearl Bling from the multi pack. The entire list of products are below.

Too Cute to be Spooky

These sweet witches in their spooky scene are already pretty cute, but they're exponentially more adorable when Eyelet Outlet Halloween Brads join the fun. The addition of a Witch Hat, a handsome Bat Brad, a mischievous Kitten checking out a Pumpkin, a cute but creepy Spider and some pink Rose and Colored Daisy Brads make the illustration come to life; then a double mat of Glitter Black Tape and Halloween Dot Washi tie it all together.

Stay tuned to the Eyelet Outlet Blog for more Halloween and Thanksgiving projects to make your Autumn Crafting FALL into place!

Think Outside the ROCKS

We all know how awesome all the embellishments from Eyelet Outlet are on regular crafting surfaces, but this week, I decided to think outside the rocks…oops…I mean, box.

I used ROCKS as my surface this week!!!  How fun is that?!?!

I’ve heard about people decorating rocks and leaving them in places outside for others to find and since I love to make folks smile, I decided to decorate some rocks of my own and place them somewhere in town.

I picked up a few smooth rocks and acrylic paints from my local craft store, got some inspiration from Pinterest and I was off!

The cute ROCK-o-Lantern is sporting a perfectly themed Witches Hat Brad.  Hanging off the hat is a Mini Spider Brad along with a eerie Ghost Brad and a single Spooky Eye Brad. What a fun little project this is to do with the kids or grandkids on those rainy fall days!

The next rock was used to create a campsite. After painting the ground, sky, and a few evergreens, I added a tent and campfire from the Camping Brads, a few Pine Tree Brads and of course, a soaring bald eagle from the Eagle Brads. To finish it off, I added some Orange bling for the stars.

Now, I’ll be the first to tell you that painting is not my strong suit but by adding all the adorable embellishments, I think they look pretty darn good.

This was a fun and easy crafting project suitable for all ages.  Go to Eyelet Outlet and pick up your embellishments and go ROCK the town!!

Have a Spooktacular Day!

 Hi friends!  I wanted to squeeze in one last Halloween card before it is too late!  I have been having so much fun with the Halloween-themed brads, that I couldn't resist!  

I created a new (to me) fun fold for this card - a Split-Window card.  I think this fold was made popular by the amazing Jennifer McGuire.  It was really fun and relatively easy to create. 

In case you haven't noticed yet, I am a HUGE fan of the sparkly washi tapes!  I use them ALL the time!  It makes a perfect trim on projects and this one was no different!  I used it to trim out the edges of both of my patterned papers. 

I added a Witch Hat and a couple Mini Candy Corn Brads to the sentiment panel and popped it up on foam tape.  

I really love this card!  As you can see, it is similar to a Book Fold Card; however, it has a die-cut between the two panels.  

Shopping List: 

Glitter Black Washi

Witch Hat Brads

Mini Candy Corn Brads

I hope that you love it too!  Are you a fan of fun-fold cards or do you prefer traditional flat-fold cards? 

Thanks for spending a few minutes of your day with me!

Xoxo, Kim
