The background is Wide Sky Washi; the sentiment is diecut from Grass Tape; and the base of the planter is a single strip of Wood Tape. A scatter of white Round Sequins completes the design.

Not Enough Shelves!

Apparently, there are a few people in the world who think that some of us have too many books?! This is an understandable error, but in fact, as Mr. Bear points out, the actual problem is NOT ENOUGH SHELVES! For this card, the shelves were created by neatly lining up strips of Eyelet Outlet Book Tape. The computer generated sentiment (created with a free font called Bohemian Typewriter) leaves room for a trio of Book Brads and is matted on a panel of Wood Tape; Cactus and Heart Brads add extra texture and interest to this cozy little scene.

Here's a Handy Shopping List featuring all the items used to create this card:

Book Brads
Book Washi
Wood Tape
Cactus Brads
Heart Brads

Visit the Eyelet Outlet Store for an incredible selection of Brads, Tapes, Bling, Enamels, Flowers and so much more!

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!

Bird Words

If, like me (Lauren) you enjoy watching the birds at your backyard feeder, you will have noticed quite a bit of mealtime chatter, and you may have wondered what it's all about. With the help of our handsome Eyelet Outlet Bluebird and Robin Brads and some fun speech bubbles, here is my fanciful idea of what those birds are saying to each other. Card backgrounds made from Wide Sky Washi, Wood Tape and Music Note Washi Tape.

Eyelet Outlet has Birds, Bugs, Farm Animals, Jungle Critters, Fish, Crustaceans, Reptiles, Cats, Dogs, Deer,  and... well, pretty much ANY cute critter you could possibly want to add to your papercrafting projects!

hopes YOU have a BEARY nice day!

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.

Harvest Friendships

 Autumn is a time to harvest friendships!

I am enjoying the colors of Autumn! I started with stamping my scarecrow image and coloring with alcohol ink markers. I created a background for my image using the wood grain washi. Lastly, I used a standard card base embellishing with the pumpkin washi, scarecrow brads, and fall brads!

Autumn Splendor

"Autumn paints in colors that Summer has never seen." 
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I started with stenciling a tree background for my base. I stamped and fussy cut a variety of autumn leaves. Then I added my sentiment circles. After placing my leave collage and sentiment, I added the pumpkin brad! I embellished with 3 fall brads in the top left corner and placed on cardstock lined with the wood grain washi tape! 

I hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!
