"If April showers should come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May." - Buddy De Sylva
I am sharing my April 2024 Calendar layout today in hopes of inspiring you to stay more organized throughout the year! I wanted to keep with the theme of "April showers bring May flowers", so I added stamps that go along with that theme! A little gal with an umbrella, some raindrops, an adorable duck and rain boots were just the perfect match!
Next, I gathered my Eyelet Outlet supplies and embellished my heart away! I added the green grass washi to anchor the bottom of my pages. I added paper flowers in yellow and white with a purple brad to my top left of my page. Brads of rainboots, daisies, roses, dragonflies, butterflies seemed like just the perfect finish! The beauty of spring is magical and I loved adding these touches to my layout!
I hope this inspires you to stay on track in organization and paper planning in 2024! Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for all your crafting needs!
SHOPPING LIST:
Spring is just around the corner and I'm thinking about flowers! Eyelet Outlet has paper flowers in every color that will really make your spring projects stand out. Today I've filled a pocket of my favorite blue jeans with some yellow ones - and a few green ones serve as leaves.
Do you need a elegant bridal themed card for a bridal shower or wedding?
Sometimes it is fun to think outside the box! And that was my inspiration for using the paper flowers to create a bridal skirt! After embossing the bride's bodice and fussy cutting it out. I cut and added the fancy long bling to the waist line and then began adding white paper flowers for the skirting. Embellishing with jewels from the jewel strips. Lastly, I adhered my creation on a background I created using the wide romantic washi called floral nostalgia wide.
I love how it turned out and I hope you do too! Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for all your crafting supplies!
As summer is coming to a close, it is time to gear up for "back to school".
I created this card thinking it would be a sweet way to encourage a teacher as they prepare to head back to school or perhaps to send to your child's teacher with a little note of encouragement! My card base is the standard 4.25 x 5.50 which I trimmed with film strip washi tape. I then created my card adding stamps, distress inks, and my greeting. Next, I embellished with tape measure washi tape and dots washi tape. Lastly, I added the paper flowers in yellow and white adding some distress inks for dimension and a orange brad for the center. I hope you enjoy!
I've been enjoying making a new style of gift bag on my Cricut this week. The talented designer that inspired this pleated bag actually intended the flaps to fold inward on this bag with ribbon handles, but I've been playing around adding different decorative edges to the flaps and folding them toward the outside of the completed bag.
The Bumblebee Cottage Luminary
Happy Saturday Everyone!!
I absolutely LOVE making 3-D pieces and knew I wanted to make one for this week’s
project. I was stuck on what I should
make. I had a ton of ideas in my head
but one morning, I went out back to my raised garden and saw these beautiful bumblebees
buzzing around my cucumber plants, I knew right then what I needed to
make! A BUMBLEBEE COTTAGE LUMINARY!
And what would the
Bumblebee Cottage be without bumblebees?!?!
We have our three locals, Barnabee, Beeatrice and Buzz bringing in the day's
pollen. These cuties are Bumblebee brads.
Ohhh…who’s that??? I see a ladybug or two scouting around the cottage. Can you find them? They are from the Ladybug brad collection.
Don’t worry Barnabee, Beeatrice and Buzz…we have you covered!
How fun was this one?! What did you think?
Hope you enjoy!!

Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE UP CRAFTY!

Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape, Paper Flowers and Brads, that is. You can also use them to make customized gift bags, like this one. Just cover plain white cardstock with neat strips of tape (this variety is Happy Birthday Foil Washi)... print out an initial in your favorite font (this one's called Chicken Pie and was free on dafont.com)... trace and cut. Embellish with a few shades and sizes of Solid Color Paper Flowers held on with Candle, Party Hat and Cupcake or Cupcake Swirl Brads. For even more color and pizazz, diecut hearts from a coordinating tape, like Pink Checked Washi and use one repeat of the Birthday Tape to create your sentiment strip. Scatter a few Round Sequins and you're good to go. And yes, all of the above looks pretty good on a matching birthday card, as well!

My inspiration for this Mother's Day card came from the beautiful floral wide washi tape and white daisy brads. I decided to try a different style card and enjoyed playing with a diagonal front.
Happy Friday, friends! Today, I am sharing a card that I had SO much fun creating! I recently hosted a Mystery Craft Along with some of my favorite friends, and I taught them a variation on the Twisted Ribbon Technique. I had so much fun with it, that I wanted to try it with washi tape rather than paper, and this time I used the traditional technique.
