Wickedly Ghoulish Cake


Hello everyone! Would anyone care for a piece of haunted cake? Yes? Well, you're in luck! I have made a special cake that adds to the spooky fun of anyone's Halloween table.

This cake and table were made with dies from Cottage Cutz. It's a black forest cake with green glowing slime, I mean, frosting on top. I added several spooky brads from Eyelet Outlet to make it even more perfect for the occasion. After putting the dies together, I added some green glitter to the frosting. Then I cut an orange mat and a larger nested mat out of patterned paper. The purple mat was made by cutting a rectangle out of cardstock using a border scissor. Remember those? They definitely still are useful for quick mats and by rediscovering them I'm making some old tools new again! 

I hope I've inspired you to think about your spooky brads and to pick up some new ones for your own Halloween cards, treat boxes, bags, or even tags. You still have time if you get on your broom now and fly to the store! Here's some great ones used on my cake that provide many options for your projects.  


Thanks for joining me here today. Please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating!

Witching You a Happy Halloween Interactive Card

Hello everyone! Are you a big Halloween fan? I sure am! I have so much fun with Halloween because there's so many fun images out there to work with. This is an interactive pull tab card made with a new set from Diamond Press called Boo to You. When you pull the tab, you get to see the witch pop out from behind the tombstones. This die and stamp set seems like it was made for Eyelet Outlet embellishments! They enhance this card perfectly! 


The set comes with clear instructions and the dies and stamps needed to make this pull tab card. Before assembling it, I added all the cute EO brads. The pumpkin is sporting a Witch Hat Brad. There are two Cat Brads-Black on top and in front of tombstones. A Pumpkin Brad sits to the right of the main tombstone. Two Ghost Brads and a Bat Brad are floating in the background. Finally, I used a Cloud Brad in front of the orange moon. Super cute!

Haunted House Hallow

 

Do you like haunted houses? I most definitely DO NOT. The only ones that I can handle are the ones I build with paper…lol. I know what it is lurking behind every corner. And in this week’s creation, there are plenty of scary surprises hiding all over.

This spectacular feat of a creation took me over two days to complete. Between the cutting of the hundreds of pieces, the embossing and inking of the pieces and the actual assembly, this haunted house was the most labor and time intensive piece I’ve ever created, and I am pretty thrilled on how it turned out.

Being approximately 8” deep and 10” tall, I knew Eyelet Outlet and I were going to have some fun
accessorizing. It’s like earrings, you never leave your haunted house unaccessorized.  😉😉


After I assembled it, I added spiderwebs all over made from Q-Tips. Some of the webs even have spooky spiders waiting for a moth to unexpectedly get trapped. There is even a spider coming down from the roof to check on her egg sack.


One the very top in the wrought iron décor, is a ghost peeking over to see who dares to enter.


Looking to the left, two spooky eyeballs are glaring out. I would hate to see who, or what, those eyes
belong to.


Those aren’t the only eyes protecting the house. There are six other sets of red Bling eyes.
Can you find them all?

Looking at the base of the house, you will see a layer of aged bricks from Bricks Washi Tape.

If you dare to approach the front door, two blood red Bling jewels help coax, I mean, guide you in.


Once you are walking up the stairs, make sure you look down to the right. It looks like the house may
have landed on a wicked witch!!! I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore!

The wrap around porch has a handmade paper rocker and another blood red Bling doorknob.


If you do dare to visit the haunted house, make sure you do it during the day because at night is a
WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY!


Several LED tealight candles light up the windows and look who is peacefully sitting in her rocker…. it’s MOTHER! I advise staying out of that room for sure!

This is enough scary for me. I will stick with the candy parts of Halloween! Hope you enjoyed this one!
Happy Halloween everyone and save your Kit Kats for MEEEEE! 😁😁

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

Think Outside the ROCKS

We all know how awesome all the embellishments from Eyelet Outlet are on regular crafting surfaces, but this week, I decided to think outside the rocks…oops…I mean, box.

I used ROCKS as my surface this week!!!  How fun is that?!?!

I’ve heard about people decorating rocks and leaving them in places outside for others to find and since I love to make folks smile, I decided to decorate some rocks of my own and place them somewhere in town.

I picked up a few smooth rocks and acrylic paints from my local craft store, got some inspiration from Pinterest and I was off!

The cute ROCK-o-Lantern is sporting a perfectly themed Witches Hat Brad.  Hanging off the hat is a Mini Spider Brad along with a eerie Ghost Brad and a single Spooky Eye Brad. What a fun little project this is to do with the kids or grandkids on those rainy fall days!

The next rock was used to create a campsite. After painting the ground, sky, and a few evergreens, I added a tent and campfire from the Camping Brads, a few Pine Tree Brads and of course, a soaring bald eagle from the Eagle Brads. To finish it off, I added some Orange bling for the stars.

Now, I’ll be the first to tell you that painting is not my strong suit but by adding all the adorable embellishments, I think they look pretty darn good.

This was a fun and easy crafting project suitable for all ages.  Go to Eyelet Outlet and pick up your embellishments and go ROCK the town!!

Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE UP CRAFTY!

My Punny Little Tags


Hi Ai Fans! Today I'm channeling two of our best Design Team Members - Lauren Bergold and Susan Creech. Lauren is known for her project series and Susan is the queen of puns. I combined a little of both in these tags. In total, I made a set of six gift or treat bag tags that can be used for kids of all ages. Today I'm sharing three of them.

 The puns were taken from the Think & Grin section of the October 2022 Scout Life magazine. They're silly and remind me of the days when the two most funny words to my son were, "Dirty Underwear!" The mere mention of underwear alone would send he and his friends into hysterical giggles. Those were the days! All the puns were submitted by Cub and Boy Scouts across the country. As I read the puns in the magazine, my mind automatically went to thinking about what brads would go with the jokes.
These tags are a result. 

In this one I've use the Computer and Headphone Brad Set and the Paw Brads. Silver Glitter Enamel Dots are also used.


In the next tag, I've used the Ghost Brads and White Glitter Enamel Dots.

And in my final tag, I've used the Crab & Lobster Brads and the Shell Brads as well as Red Glitter Enamel Dots.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers! Stop by next Sunday to see three more tags. It'll be a punny good time!

Happy Creating Everyone!

Welcome to Booville!


 I have been thinking about my Halloween cards lately and I knew I wanted to do something with a haunted house. I didn't want it to be a scary house though. I think I succeeded with this shaped card. The house is from the Cricut library. I adapted it so it could be a shape card. I used some black Stickles to give the house a little sparkle. It helps I think to make it even less scary.

I used many Halloween products on this card from the store and the Vacuum and Broom Brads which are definitely not typically Halloween. It works though! I even used two Pumpkin Sequins on the stoop.

This was really a lot of fun to create. Notice that the homeowner left her vehicle on the step. I guess if you drive something compact enough, you really don't need a garage! Ha ha ha!

Making SPIRITS Bright

Halloween is this Sunday, but there's still time to make a happily haunted card featuring Eyelet Outlet Ghost Brads!


I blended Oxide inks to make a suitably mysterious background (Chipped Sapphire, Prize Ribbon and Wilted Violet for the sky; Rustic Wilderness and Forest Moss for the ground; a little bit of Black Soot around the entire perimeter) then stamped the tree and added said Ghosties as well as a Pumpkin Brad, a Witch Hat and a Mini Spider just to set the scene. Wishing you a safe and spooky Halloween!

Boo to You

 In this Interesting Year of 2020, Halloween is bound to be a bit different, so it seems like an especially great time to send cards and other greetings, doesn't it? Luckily Eyelet Outlet has plenty of brads to suit the season! I (Lauren) have made a trio of ATCs that can stand alone OR become the centerpieces of some fun cards.



EO Ghost Brads are so cute it's almost scary! Though these guys seem to have been frightened off by a pair of Mini Spider Brads?


Monster Brads, on the other hand, are not afraid of anything... except maybe missing out on their share of the sweets, like Candy Corn Brads! The Bat Brad in the corner is hoping they remember to brush and floss afterwards.


It's a banner day for the witch who lives in the last ATC, thanks to Taylored Expressions' Pennant Parade Cling and Clear set, also the source of the cute sentiments! She's parked her Witch Hat next to a Pumpkin Brad while she goes to fetch her Broom... or maybe her Vacuum??

I hope you'll be inspired to make some fun Halloween cards or ATCs to share with your friends and family. Check out all of the awesome Holiday Brads in the EO store!

 
says BOO to you!

Halloween Treat Boxes

Halloween will be here before you know it, so I've started on treat boxes for the kiddos in my life!  

First up is an adorable Frankenstein treat dispenser.  This file is from My Scrap Chick and comes in SVG as well as PDF formats, so you don't need to own a die cut machine to make this one.  

As soon as I saw this file I knew I'd have to embellish it with Eyelet Outlet Screw brads!


This little tombstone box was made on my Cricut.  The box portion is from Cricut's Happy Hauntings image set.  I welded the tree and moon image to the back of the box and it's from Creepy Critters.  I added an Eyelet Outlet bat brad to the moon.  The little ghost brad is hovering overhead as well and the black cat brad is strolling by on the moonlit night. I thought fun size packages of Reese's Pieces would be perfect for this sentiment!


Be sure and check out Eyelet Outlet's holiday section for more great brads for the fall and winter season!

If You've Got It...

...HAUNT it! That's my (Lauren's) motto this Halloween season. Luckily I have Eyelet Outlet Ghost Brads and Bat Brads to turn the fun sentiment into a BOOOOO-tiful card like this:


I found this ancient bat patterned paper in my stash and the fun castle illustration in an old, falling apart childrens book I found at a garage sale. I added a sentiment made from alphabet stickers and my Dymo Labelmaker, a few skinny black mats and of course my Ghost and Bat Brads.


There are lots more awesome Eyelet Outlet Halloween Goodies in the online store, we promise it's all Treats and no Tricks! ♥

 Peanut Butter Cups ALL THE WAY!!!

Kick Up Your Heels for Halloween!

I made Halloween treats for the kiddos in my life this week and it was so much fun!

The shoe is from Cricut's Princess Party image set and I cut it as large as would fit on a 12 x 12 piece of card stock and this allowed for the width of the Oreo cookies.  It was quite easy to assemble, too.

The fun part was creating the embellishment for the front of the shoe and the tags I tied to the cookie bags.  Eyelet Outlet has AMAZING brads for Halloween and they added such super touch to my shoes!


Here I've added an Eyelet Outlet Mini Spider Brad to the cobweb on the front.


Our little Ghost Brads are so adorable!


My granddaughter is not a fan of chocolate so she's getting socks in her shoe!  


Our Witch Leg Brads really kept with my theme! I also added a little purple stick on bling bubbling from my cauldron!  
  


Our Pumpkin Brads are always popular!  Here I've added some Eyelet Outlet green swirl bling.

Thanks for stopping by today!
