A Day Full of Treats

He is Risen!
I love celebrating Easter! I love making memories with my family, giving Easter baskets, enjoying a traditional Easter dinner, and Easter egg hunting! But, more importantly, I love basking in the reason for our celebrating! Our Risen Savior, the hope of the world for indeed He is Risen!
I love creating backgrounds using Eyelet Outlet washi tapes! This background is called "Time for Flowers" and because it is a wider style, I only needed 3 rows. Next, I created my cross using the wood washi adhered to cardstock and my purple drape from the purple washi. I added white flowers in 2 different sizes with a little shading of pink distress ink and a green jewel for embellishment. Lastly, I stamped my Easter greeting! He is Risen! Yes, He is Risen, Indeed! I hope you have a blessed Easter Sunday celebrating with family and friends!

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons!
I am still creating Christmas cards for friends and family! And, since I love pretty paper and ribbons, thought it would be fun to try creating a card using a stack of presents!

Gratitude Recorded
Do you keep a November Gratitude Journal? For the last couple of years, I have participated in writing daily gratitude using a traveler's notebook. This year, I decided to do rolodex cards!
I started with creating a rolodex template and began adding my stamps. I added the year, month, and my "focus" on the first rolodex card. For the second card, I used a lined stamp to create my background and lines for journaling.
Lastly, I embellished with Eyelet Outlet's beautiful Autumn themed washi tapes and brads! The possibilities are endless! I hope you are inspired to create a way to cultivate and record your daily gratitude this November.
I hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

October Planning
Have you ever used the Eyelet Outlet washi tapes and brads in your paper planner?
In preparing for a busy Autumn and holiday season, I was thinking of my paper planner and how fun it would be to add washi tape and brads to create a Autumn themed layout!
I pulled my collection of Autumn themed brads and washi and went to town! Adding these elements created a fun and colorful layout! You could even add fall stamps, stickers, colored markers, and more! The possibilities are endless!

Happy Sunflowers!
Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a pretty sunflower-themed 'thinking of you' card. The sunflower is my favorite flower so it didn't take long to work up a nice clean and simple card design using these awesome brads! This design is one that would be super easy to mass produce to create a set to give as a gift.
I created a standard A2 top-folding ivory card base and rounded the lower right corner. By now you know I love to do that to add some interest to a card! I cut a slightly smaller ivory panel for the front and adhered a piece of patterned paper to the bottom, added a strip of Wood Washi Tape and layered the panel on dark brown cardstock. I added a die cut stem and several Sunflower Brads, and adhered the layered panel to the card base. I die cut a digital sentiment and popped it up on foam pieces for a little dimension. The final touch was the addition of several small Ivory Enamel Dots. Thanks so much for stopping by - we'll see you next time!

Give 2020 The Boot!
Typically I go for a New Years card with glitz, glimmer, and shine, but this direction seemed more fitting this year! I'm giving 2020 THE BOOT with an Eyelet Outlet Cowboy Boot brad!

Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree
Today I've brought out the washi tape to create this shimmering gift tag. The tree is covered in Eyelet Outlet's very popular Glitter Star Washi tape, then some swirl bling brings even more shine.

Pine Cone Tag
It seems like the Eyelet Outlet Design Team has been playing a little game of tag the last few days, and today I'm it!
Here's one that's perfect for a man on your gift giving list this holiday season as it's a little more on the masculine side.

You Rock!
I rounded the left lower corner on the card base. I love to round just one corner because it adds a little interest. I created a narrow vertical panel for the front of the card and applied several strips of Wood Washi Tape and then finished covering the panel with Brick Washi Tape. I added stamped and die cut jukebox, boomerang, star and jack to the panel, then randomly placed five Vinyl Record Album Brads. I stamped 'You Rock!' on the wall in StazOn ink to complete the panel, and adhered it to the card base.
Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Christmas ATCs with a sparkle
I created one coin and two cards. An artist trading coin is a 2-1/2" circle (I use a punch) and an artist trading card is 3-1/2" x 2-1/2". My standard practice is to always punch two circles or cut two rectangles so that I can decorate one and adhere another one behind it for stability.
To create the 'Joy' coin, I placed a strip of Glitter Tall Tree Washi Tape horizontally across the coin base and added three Penguin Brads and the sentiment die cut from silver foil cardstock. Then I adhered a second punched circle behind it.
To create the 'peace' card, I covered the card base with Wood Washi Tape and then die cut the sentiment into the covered card base, saving the negative space pieces to add back in later. I added three Prancing Deer Brads and just prior to adhering the second rectangle behind it, I added two small strips of Glitter Brown Washi Tape to the extra card so the sparkle would show through the die cut sentiment. Once I adhered the second rectangle, I glued in the negative space pieces to the p, e, a and the second e.
To create the 'merry' card, I covered the card base with Glitter Gold Dots Washi Tape and added the sentiment die cut from red cardstock along with a thin red cardstock strip across the bottom. I adhered the stamped word Christmas and then added one Cardinal Brad and two Cardinal Profile Brads. Then I adhered a second rectangle behind it.

Honey Do List
I used quite a few Eyelet Outlet products on this card. First, the Toolbox, Tools, Saw and the new Beer brads. Next the Green Pattern, Skinny Green, Wide Mountain, Wide Bird, and Wood Washi Tapes. I finished with the Pearl Bling.
The stamp is appropriately named, Lazy Boy. I stamped the image in scanned it into my computer and made a few altered to it. The Eraser tool in the Silhouette design screen was used to remove the bag of chips and remote control. After that, I printed it twice, once filled with a brown leather pattern and the other blank. The blank image was colored and fussy cut to place on top. The cardstock is from Stampin' Up.
Inside, I had a little fun with the sentiment. Truth in jest!
I look forward to sharing more of my cards with you, so I hope you come back and visit me again. In the meantime, I wanted to share the link to another card I made which shows the flip side of this lazy boy.
