Reindeer Food!

When my children were younger, they enjoyed spreading "reindeer food" in our yard on Christmas Eve night! I have made little reindeer food bags to give to children for the last couple years! It is fun! 

Measure your clear resealable bags and create a bag topper to go over the top edge. I decorated my fun bag topper with a cute stamped reindeer that I colored in and added some bling to his bow for sparkle! I cut and pasted the poem and embellished with brads and washi tape! Lastly, fill your bag with bird seed and a little glitter! I hope you enjoy! It is a fun treat for children of all ages!

On top, I've added a Sleigh Brad and a deer from the Santa & Deer Brads. The red background couldn't be simpler since it was created with strips of Ho Ho Let It Snow Washi Tape. Yes, indeed!

Merry Christmas Trees

Christmas is right around the corner so we are featuring a fun and festive card that has a handmade Merry Christmas sign that will put anyone into the holiday spirit.

I started off by using two Christmas different Christmas themed washi tapes from Eyelet Outlet.  The top portion is made from the Tree Washi tape and the bottom portion is made from the Vertical Tree Washi tape  that was embossed with a holly berry pattern.

Each section was highlighted with cut strips of the Gold Washi tape.

The center section features five glittery Christmas colored brads with a hanging “Merry Christmas” sign.  The sign was made from Green Glitter Washi tape, the Merry Christmas Washi tape and book cased by two Holly Brads.   The sign is hanging by some brown yarn.

 

This was a fun and quick card to make. You don’t need much to make something special.

Give it a try!

 

 

Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

Mini Diorama

So many of the Eyelet Outlet brads work together!  Today I've created a little scene by pairing our sleigh brad and horse brad as well as a snowy tree.


This mini diorama is about 3" x 2.5" and the frame, snow, and barn were created on my Cricut.  The frame was designed by one of my friends in the Cricut Community and even has an easel on the back!


Thanks for stopping by today!

Christmas Window


 Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season. If only we could slow everything down a bit right? Eyelet Outlet can help you look like you took a lot of time to make a handmade card with hardly any time at all. Today's card is a perfect example. This card lets washi tape create a unique background to a simple window die cut. Then the window is quickly decorated with several EO brads. Let's discuss how this comes together.

To start, I covered a white piece of cardstock cut at 5" x 3.75." I covered it with stripes of washi tape from the EO store. In order for them bottom I used: Tree Washi Tape, Town Washi Tape, Deer Washi Tape, and Holiday Washi Tape. Then I finished with the first three washi tapes to take me to the top. I really love how this looks. All the colors go well together.

I cut and pieced the window die cut. It's called Holiday Window from CottageCutz. I decorated the window ledge with Pinecone Brads, and single brads from the Ornaments, Poinsettia, Holly and Cardinal Profile sets. The detail on this ledge is really fun.


So you can see that this card took a small of time to create but looks complex and time consuming. It's always great to create something that makes you look like a crafting hero!

Rustic Christmas Tree Card

We are doing another cute Christmas card this week.  This one is more of a rustic/farmhouse feel. Hope you like it! 

I cut out and pieced several different cardstocks into the shape of a tree.  I then added Glitter Gold Washi Tape between the pieces to add sparkle.

 

The four circles on the outside each have a vintage looking brad.  These include the Santa and Deer brads, the Gift Brads, and the Poinsettia Brads.

 

The very tip top of the tree is a beautiful Gold Cross Brad.

Eyelet Outlet helped me make this card extra special with the addition of the brads and washi tape!  Check out the variety of Holiday embellishments available to help jazz up your cards this year!


 

Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

Making a Scene!

On thing the Eyelet Outlet Designers and I love to do is make a scene!  We do it in the very best way though, with Eyelet Outlet products!

Lately I've been following a crafter on Instagram that makes these cute little dioramas from card stock. I thought incorporating some brads into a project like that would be lots of fun, so I've got one to share with you today.

I started out with a small frame with an easel that was designed by one of my Cricut friends.  I cut this on my Cricut Maker and the finished size of the frame is 3.5" x 2.75"


I cut down a piece of Eyelet Outlet's wide brick washi tape for the chimney and added a pair of Santa boots brads as well as this beautiful sleigh brad. I love our little vintage deer brad who is pulling the sleigh and then I added a few snowflake brads in the corners.  


We hope you're finding fun ways to use Eyelet Outlet products in your holiday crafts!  Be sure to tag us on Instagram or come on by the Eyelet Outlet Fan's group and share a picture with us!

Tiled Washi Tape Christmas Card

Eyelet Outlet's Christmas Sayings Washi Tape features eight different 1 x 1.75" vintage postcard designs. For this card they've been stuck to plain white cardstock and cut apart, to make a tiled background. The sentiment and diecut flower pick up on the lovely colors in the tape, and also provide a place for a Poinsettia Brad, a Cardinal Profile and a pair of Holly Brads


Holiday cardmaking is faster, easier and a lot more fun when you have Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tapes to help out!

Santa Claus is coming to town!

I am working on my Christmas cards and thought I would try creating a Christmas winter globe scene!

 For my globe, I cut a circle base and created a winter scene by stamping trees and using distress inks to create the background. I added prisma glitter for some sparkly snow! Next, I embellished by adding the adorable Santa sleigh brad and reindeer brads. For the base, I used the wood grain washi tape and attached my Merry Christmas sentiment. Lastly, I added my globe to white cardstock trimmed with the red and white stripe washi! I hope you try creating a wintery globe scene! So fun and festive!

The cute image is from Hetty Claire and is perfect for the

red pearl gems. The washi tape is from Eyelet Outlet also and 
in a pretty red/green color.

A Merry Little Christmas


 Hello EO fans! I'm happy to be here today to share a icy and pretty winter Christmas card. To make this, began by inking a blue A2 card base with Broken China and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. The next step was to cover white cardstock with Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape and then cut slopes of snow with dies and stacked them together to create the drifts. I stamped, colored and cut the igloo scene. Before I glued that on the card, I installed two Pine Tree Brads. I also added two Polar Bear Brads and two Snowflake Brads. Such a pretty scene!

Caroling Christmas Easel Card

We are doing another cute Christmas card this week.  Although I have quite a few cards I send out to friends and family, I always try to make a different card for each person.  Now that I have Eyelet Outlet in my life, it is so easy to make a simple card like this, look like I spent hours on it.

I layered the front of this easel card in red and green cardstock and embossed the red cardstock with a festive, almost embroidered look. I added Black Bling to the embossing as look like the little centers of flowers.

 

The large sentiment is die cut from green glitter foam with a white shadow layer underneath.

 

In the upper corner, is a beautiful, sparkly snowflake from the Snowflake Bling and in the bottom corner are two of the cutest little carolers from the Caroler Brads.

 

Once you open the card, you will see the sparkle from the Black Glitter Washi Tape and the two beautiful holiday Bell Brads that offset the cute sentiment on the inside.   

As easy as this card was to make, it looks like it took a long time. By adding cute embellishments, you can step up your card making game, too!



Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!
