Too Cute to be Spooky

These sweet witches in their spooky scene are already pretty cute, but they're exponentially more adorable when Eyelet Outlet Halloween Brads join the fun. The addition of a Witch Hat, a handsome Bat Brad, a mischievous Kitten checking out a Pumpkin, a cute but creepy Spider and some pink Rose and Colored Daisy Brads make the illustration come to life; then a double mat of Glitter Black Tape and Halloween Dot Washi tie it all together.

I started with stamping and fussy cutting out my race car. I added the glitter black washi tape for my race track and layered onto cardstock edged with the black and white dots washi. After adding my racing flags and sentiment I embellished my card with 3 of the new driving brads!

You're Not Old...

...You're a Classic! Eyelet Outlet Driving Brads are the perfect accent for masculine cards. They pair beautifully with our Classic Car Brads of course and there are lots of terrific Washi Tape selections to support the theme. In this case, a panel of wide Map Washi is framed with strips of Road Tape; then that panel is offset on a slightly larger one made of Tire Track Washi framed in Glitter Black Tape. A Compass Brad is the perfect finishing touch.

Check out all of the wonderful Brads, Tapes, Bling, Flowers and more in the Eyelet Outlet Store!

Hanging with my Gnomies!

 These little Gnome brads were just too cute to resist!

I thought a fun wintery card would be a great way to use these adorable Gnome brads! I started with stamping and coloring my gnome girl and fussy cutting her out! I then added the glitter tall tree washi tape to the top with my parade of gnome brads! Aren't they the cutest little posse? I stamped the sentiment in the middle, cutting out the inside of the "O" to add a little peeking gnome! Lastly, I added a strip of glitter black washi to the bottom! So fun! 

I hope you are enjoying a great start to the NEW YEAR and this winter season! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

Penguins Love Christmas, Too!

Hello friends!  Do you love penguins as much as I do?  I could sit and watch them waddle and play all day long!  Additionally, they provide great lessons in leadership and teamwork. 

For my project today, I used a simple card sketch that is full of layers.  I used the Glitter Black Washi Tape to create a panel.  I then used the Penguin Washi Tape to create my next panel.  It is so easy to add washing tape over a strip of card stock and you have a perfect embellishment for your card.

To complete my card, I made a loopy bow from my absolute favorite ribbon.  This ribbon is SO old.  I bet I have had it for 20 years, but it is perfect for Christmas projects!  I added a Pine Tree Brad to the bow and adhered it to my card front.

Silent Night, Holy Night

 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given!

I enjoyed creating this Nativity card in honor of the Christmas season. I started with stamping and fussy cutting my stable and used the black glitter washi tape to the background. I added the Wreath brads on the posts. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut out the Holy family. I added purple beads to Mary's shawl from the purple pearl strip. Lastly, I focused on creating my card base, I used various blue inks to create a night time sky and added trees and coloring along the bottom. I finished off with using bling from the fancy long zig zag bling for glittering stars! 

I hope you are making great progress on your Christmas crafts and greeting cards! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

Wrapping Christmas presents is one of my favorite things to do! So, I am hoping that having a few Christmas tags ready to go will make it even more fun! I enjoyed creating a variety of tags and even created a "bookmark" style one for any book lovers on your gift giving list!

These 2 tags highlight the adorable brads from the new Christmas set called, Santa Deer Brads! I even added a few pearl brown jewels and black glitter washi! So fun!

On these 2 Christmas tags, I focused on the adorable little red truck brads! I added the black glitter washi as my "road" and filled the truck bed with a Christmas tree and presents! I think this little truck is absolutely adorable!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

 Have you started your Christmas shopping? These cute little shoppers have it all "wrapped" up!

I love Christmas shopping! And it looks like these cute shoppers are ready to go! In creating my slimline card, I started with my background using the "Glitter Tall Tree Washi Tape", "Glitter Black Washi Tape, and black cardstock. I then stamped my VW bug and van on cardstock and colored in with markers! After fussy cutting them out, I embellished by adding the "Caroler Brads" as my drivers and the "Gift Box Brads" to the top of the VW van! Lastly, I added my sentiment in white.

Leslie's Valentine/Love Favs!

Hey everybody! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a few more of my favorite projects created with our awesome Eyelet Outlet products! We've been asked to share three of our favorite Valentine/Love projects this time, so before I do that, let me side-track you for a minute. My husband and I are Crazy Cat People. We rescue kittens and cats (present count right now is 18) and we call them our kids, lol! We have 11 inside that enjoy the outdoors in their catio, and seven more ferals/semi-ferals that live in our shed in our fenced back yard with an attached catio. Our four human kids are grown and in their mid- to late-30s with kids of their own, so we've been empty-nesters for quite some time. So, with all this said, two of my three favorites are cat-themed cards! The truth is we love all kinds of animals, so even with one dog-themed card included here, it would be difficult to list these in any kind of 'favorite' order!

My first fav is this awesome kitty card which I created in one of my favorite color combos of black and white with a pop of red. I paired our Cat Brads with our Glitter Black Washi Tape to create this purrfect Valentine or anniversary card!

My second fav is this adorable card featuring our Dog Brads and Kennel Mix Brads which I paired with our Grass Washi Tape, Summer Tree Brads and Sun/Cloud Brads to create a fun scene. I also used a Paw Brad on the inside. 

And my third fav is this super cute 'feline good' card which I created in a rose and burgundy color combo and features our Fox & Flowers Wide Washi Tape on the background. I also used our Feline Brads which I paired with a Pink Enamel Heart and White Pearl Bling. As you can tell, this inside sentiment is one of my favorites and gets used a lot! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Little Chick Baby Congrats

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun baby congratulations card featuring some of my favorite products! This was a fun one to design and definitely isn't your ordinary baby congrats card!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding white card base and a slightly smaller white panel for the front. I adhered some yellow and white dotted paper to the bottom of the panel and then added a strip of Glitter Black Washi Tape and a narrow strip of red cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in black ink, added a Chicken Brad and then layered the panel on red cardstock. I adhered the panel to the card base and added several Black Enamel Dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Can't have too many dogs!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun card for your favorite crazy dog person! My hubby and I are crazy cat people but we love dogs too, and all kinds of other animals for that matter. This was a fun clean and simple card to put together!

I thought a brown and black color combo for this dog card would be fun. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding white card base along with slightly smaller black and white cardstock panels. I applied a strip of Glitter Brown Washi Tape down toward the bottom of the white panel and then added strips of Glitter Black Washi Tape above and below the brown. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, added several Dog Brads and layered the panel on the black cardstock panel. I adhered the piece to the card base and added several White Enamel Dots to finish off the front. 

Thanks so much for stopping by - we'll see you next time!

Oh, What a Stylish Web We Weave

Because ordinary spiders make everyday webs, but Eyelet Outlet Spider Brads (and Mini Spider Brads!) demand something a little fancier... like a beautiful mandala web on a gorgeous pink card:

I (Lauren) stamped an older Mandala from MFT onto plain white bristol board, and embossed with white powder, letting the design go off the top corner of the panel, to make it slightly more spider-web-like. Then, colored in the panel with a blend pink oxide inks. I let my Spider Brad and Mini Spiders move in and make themselves comfy; and added panels of Glitter Black Tape, Pink Foil and Coloring Book Tape... (which is actually leaves and flowers, but looks rather web-like if you trim it down to mat size!) ...and affixed the whole thing to my A7 card. 

I hope you'll be inspired to get out your Eyelet Outlet goodies and see what kinds of Halloween fun you can cook up!

You light up the world

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun all occasion kind of card that could be used for a variety of occasions! I love a black and gold/yellow color combo so when I saw these brads, the light bulb came on! Groan... pun intended, lol!

I created a landscape top fold card base and cut a panel about 1/16" smaller. Going from the bottom up, I applied Glitter Black Washi Tape on two-thirds of the panel and then added one strip of Glitter Gold Dots Washi Tape slightly above it. I added one white and four yellow Light Bulb Brads in a row evenly spaced across the top of the black portion of the panel, then attached the panel to the card base. I printed the digital sentiment, trimmed it and layered it on black cardstock, then adhered it to the bottom center of the panel to complete the front.

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Kitty Love

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun kitty card that would make a purrfect Valentine or anniversary card! I created this in one of my favorite color combos of black and white with just a pop of red, but it would be super cute in any color combo!

I covered the front panel in vertical strips of Glitter Black Washi Tape. I added two Cat Brads to the lower right corner and adhered the panel to the card base. I punched two small hearts from red cardstock and adhered them above the cat brads. I stamped the sentiment in red ink on white cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it across the top of the panel to finish the card front.

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Congrats w/Washi

Hi Friends! kel here today to share a super easy and super fun graduation card!

I started with some wide star washi for this card, laying it out diagonally over a white piece of cardstock. Then I used some Glitter Black Washi Tape and Glitter Copper Washi Tape to make matching bands to cover the rest of the white cardstock piece! I actually used 2 strips of black, and then 2 strips of copper... using just 1 strip was too thin in my opinion.

All this card needed after that was this nice "congrats" sentiment and then it was done! The shine is just gorgeous and I absolutely love how it came out!! And the awesome thing is that you can't really even see the seams between washi strips... it just looks like that's the pattern on the paper itself!!

Thanks for stopping by today and see you again soon!!

Perfect Pair

Hi everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today.

Those of you who follow this blog already know that, in addition to eyelets and brads, Eyelet Outlet has a large selection of washi tapes ranging from patterned, glittered, foil and holiday/seasonal.

For me, the hardest part about using Washi is deciding which of the many there are I should work with first.

Today I'm working with the Glitter Black Washi Tape and I used it in various ways.  I'll show you my card first and then talk a bit about what I did and how.

The card's focal image is the Penny Black Perfect Pair stamp set.  It's a jumble of birds flying...but in the midst of all that confusion, two birds manage to find each other.  The image was stamped with Tsukineko VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and then heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  I got a tip from the Internet that it's much better to stamp in black and emboss with clear embossing than stamping with VersaMark and using black embossing powder as it tends to be messy.

The stamp set comes with the greeting as well.  I used only a portion of the stamp for the front with the balance inside the card.

But let's talk about the star of the show, the Glitter Washi.  I stamped the two birds with StazOn on the washi using the MISTI to get accurate placement (I attached the washi to scrap card stock first to give it stability and make it easier to cut).  Then I fussy cut them and attached them to the front with glue dots.

I used the Word Window punch on the greeting.  For the mat behind it, I lined up two pieces of Glitter Washi on scrap card stock and punched it with the Modern Label punch.

Next, I cut a mat 1/4" larger than the image and placed Washi around all four sides, mitering the edges.

On another panel of 4" x 5 1/4", I stamped My Favorite Things Lots of Dots Background Stamp using the same method as the birds.  I picked this background as there are dots in the focal image and thought it would coordinate nicely.

Another frame of Washi on the base of the card to frame this piece.  Before adding it to the back, I wrapped one final piece of Washi across the bottom.

Inside, I used the second part of the greeting with the two birds stamped. I could have run another strip of Washi tape across this panel, too.  That would have looked nice...next time!

I can't wait to work with Washi tape again...and to share my projects with you.
