Deck The Halls

I created the base for this fun fold card in Cricut Design Space by using the slice tool and the weld tool on some basic shapes.

The original sentiment image had a Christmas ornament included, but it felt like the perfect opportunity for one of our Eyelet Outlet Christmas tree ornaments to shine. I included some red gems on the garland and I adore our new angel brads who are helping out by hanging the garland.

 

Angel Christmas Card

Good Thursday morning, Eyelet Outlet followers!  I've been playing around with a little fancy fold card style this week and here's what I've came up with so far.

I used shapes and images from the Cricut image library to create this card and I thought the brand new little angel brads from Eyelet Outlet were the perfect embellishment. I also made the star from Eyelet Outlet silver glitter washi tape and added a little clear bling to the sky.

If you're a Cricut crafter, too, I've made this file available to the Cricut community on my Cricut Profile.  

Thanks for stopping by today!  

 

Snowy Christmas

 Hi EO fans! Happy September 1st! Hard to believe we are now officially in the beginning of all isn't it? Today, I'm back with another holiday card. I just can't help myself because I'm so enamored with the new Angel Brads! For this card I've made a snow globe scene with one of the angels hovering above a church scene. Also in the globe are Deer and Tree-Retro Brads. I also added White Snowflake Bling. In the rest of the card, I covered the "ground" with Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape. I made a bow and cut out the sentiment and attached them both to the card. Then I embellished with another Angel Brad and two Bell Brads. 

Have you started your holiday card making yet? I send about 50 of them each year so I have to start early or I won't have them done in time. So - one more to get me to my goal made easy with Eyelet Outlet products.

A Wreath of Christmas Cheer

 Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! Janet here today with yes, a Christmas card! I hope you'll forgive such an early post but we have new holiday brads and well, you'll just have to forgive me for playing with them. It's too hard not to!

Wreaths are such a quintessential holiday symbol and I recently received some new dies to make wreaths so I thought I'd put one together and decorate it with EO brads and bling. The truth is that you can use just about any shapes to make wreaths but one secret to it all is to start with a donut shaped ring out of cardstock in the color you are using and build on top of it. This is similar to making real wreaths. My cardstock wreath elements all started as white pieces. The dies imprint the leaf veins so when I inked them up, the veins and other marks really come to life. I arranged one layer at a time and glued just the center of each leaf so that the edges would stay dimensional and allow me to tuck other leaves under them here and there. The goal is to make is look as realistic as you can. 

Once I was satisfied with the base wreath, I started attaching brads and bling. Here I used the new Angel Brads and added Pinecone Brads, Poinsettia Brads and Red Jewel Bling. Then I added two layers of foam tape which gives a good amount of lift. I gently shaped the edges of the wreath downward to create a slightly domed look which again mimics a real wreath. I debated adding a bow but decided to feature a Tree Retro Brad in the center instead. I like the clean and cheerful look this gave it.

To finish the card, I chose a striped holiday paper for the background and cut an arch shaped mat in white. I stamped Merry Christmas at the bottom and then I applied the wreath and the silver circle with the Tree Brad. There's a lot of white space toward the bottom so I added three Green Glitter Enamel Dots to the front. This is quite pretty and elegant don't you think?

Devil or Angel

 Here's a fun little birthday card using Eyelet Outlet's brand new Angel Brads and some of our Swirl Cupcake Brads.  

The birthday girl is fighting with her conscience about whether to have one cupcake or two. I created this card in Cricut Design Space with images from the Cricut image library.  

If you're a Cricut crafter, too, I've shared the file for this project on my Cricut profile.

Let's Bake Memories!

 It's July and that means card makers have a great excuse to celebrate the holidays six months early. Like many card makers, I love making holiday and Christmas cards. Any excuse is a good excuse for me! Eyelet Outlet makes it easy with so many holiday brads and washi tapes. 

Two new holiday brads have been added to the store. They are delightful Retro Tree Brads and Angel Brads. Aren't they precious! The first thing that came to mind when I saw the tree brads was cookies. I knew immediately I would make the card I'm sharing with you today.

I found the cookie pan die pattern in Cricut Design Space. Once I constructed it, I attached Gingerbread Brads and the new Retro Tree Brads. This was glued on the card at an angle. I made the sentiment and glued that to the card too. Then I added Canister Brads, Mixer and Cup Brads, the new Angel Brads, and the spoon comes from the Baking Brads Set.

There is a lot on this card but I think it all works together well. It's so cheerful and I hope it brings a smile to you.
