Blinged Out Angel Ornament

Hi everyone! I recently was gifted a set of dies that make a few different Christmas ornaments. I am entranced by this angel. It requires no glue. It just folds into a cone shape and the wings have slits that allow them to crisscross and that's what keeps it together. So clever!

Of course, I had to bling up an angel and EO has everything I needed to make this one gleam! I decorated her skirt with Swirl Pearl Bling in gold and used Holiday Bling at the top of the skirt. Then I applied Jewel Bling Strip in clear along the skirt's edge. Her wings are accented with Snowflake Bling and Red Snowflake Bling. Finally I placed a 12mm Bling Jewel as her face.

She turned out nicely and will match in nicely with some of my other homemade ornaments that I've created over the years. Simple but sweet!

Book Page Bunny Banner!

I love having handmade Easter decor around our home! Here is a fun bunny banner made with book pages for you to try!

  I started with tracing a bunny image on a book page and cutting out 3 bunnies. I then embellished my bunnies with various Eyelet Outlet products. For the eyes I used the 12mm jewel bling in blue, green, and pink. I added the heart for a nose from the Heart enamel sticker collection. I added a strip of light glitter washi at the neck line and decorated with a variation of pearl strips and green bling strip. I added the layered paper flowers for their bunny tail and embellished with a colored brad. The variations and possibilities are endless! I hope this inspires you to create a Easter Bunny Banner for your home or office today! 

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

I Like the Way You Roll!

 Today I have a fun card that plays on the toilet paper theme again. I don't know why but I can't get enough of these adorable toilet paper rolls with the cute little quilting in them. They're just so cute!

This card starts with a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock. I applied EO's Flower Washi Tape - Wide at an angle and folded over the tape overhange on the back of the cardstock. Then I applied strips of skinny washi  to hide the seams from the Skinny Heart Washi set. This comes in several colors in a set from the store. It is pretty and delicate with foil hearts and scrolling. Then I coated the chipboard letters with chalk paint and applied them on top of the panel leaving room at the top for the black heat embossed sentiment. I applied a short piece of Jewel Bling Strip in pink next to the sentiment and set the two Toilet Paper Brads. I matted the panel on black cardstock and then applied the whole panel on a pink A2 sized cardbase.

This card may be about toilet paper but the large photo-real flowers are a nice change of pace as we start dreaming about spring. I just felt so good working with this tape! And bonus! This one goes together fast.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Dashing Through the Snow

Have you ever been dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh?  If so, I, Kim of Katydid Cards, envy you the experience.  This card is about as close as I'll ever get!

The card components were purchased in the Silhouette store and I thought they would make a great backdrop for the brads I used.  The new Sleigh brad is just the right size for the Horse and the Snowman and Pine Trees complete the scene.  The Oval Bling, colored in the center with a Copic marker, sets the greeting off nicely.

Seems I forgot to take a picture of the sentiment inside, but I used another line from the song.  "What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight."

And I have one last Christmas card to share with you.  It's an Eclipse card using the new Santa Washi Tape as well as the new Santa and Sleigh brads and the ever popular Snowflake brad.

As an accent across the bottom, I used Jewel Bling Strip on Skinny Gold Glitter Washi Tape.

On Friday I'll be sharing a few Christmas crafts with you so I hope you'll come back and visit.  Of all the Eyelet Outlet cards I made this year, this is my favorite.

In the Meadow

Hi!  Kim from Katydid Cards with you again.

Here's a snowman in the meadow...in a snowglobe.  I wanted to use the Glitter Winter Washi Tape and thought it would make a great background in a snowglobe.  The rest just fell into place.  By the rest, I'm referring to the Snowman and Snowflake brads and Jewel Bling.

I didn't use any particular cut files to make this card.  Rather, I combined various bits and pieces.

I also used the Silver Foil Washi Tape on the bottom panels before embossing them with a snowflake pattern.  The washi takes embossing beautifully.

Here's a closer look at the snowglobe with a look at the snowman behind acetate and more of the Silver Washi Tape paired with the Blue Glitter Washi Tape.  I originally thought I would add a bit of glitter inside the snowglobe, but I'm glad I didn't as that beautiful washi tape was all it needed.

And here's the back of the card with two more snowmen as an accent.

I've had lots of fun making Christmas cards with all the great new brads from Eyelet Outlet.  Two more cards I particularly like this year are in this post.

Picture Perfect

Hi folks!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.


I've had fun working with the Selfie Brads by Eyelet Outlet, so I decided to work with them again today.  Those little cell phones are so adorable!

In addition, I used a stamp set by Art Impressions.  I think this stamp and brads were made for each other.  In fact, together they're Picture Perfect!  What do you think?

I can relate to women "of a certain age", who don't necessarily hear what's being said.  Sometimes it's like that game of  Whisper Down the Lane.  So, I thought I'd have a little fun with these girlfriends...having a conversation...of sorts.  Here's a closer look at what they're saying:

 

With a bit of masking, I eliminated the cell phone from the stamped image and inserted the brad.  And another look at the cellphone...doesn't it fit in her hand perfectly?

I cut the card front in my Silhouette just for something a little different.  I actually used a balloon shape as a template.  For a bit of cheerful color, I cut a mat of Whisper White and covered it with Striped Washi Tape.  I added it to a mat of Melon Mambo card stock, allowing just a sliver of color to show.

 

I added the Selfie brad and tucked the banner underneath.  And then, befitting these stylish ladies, I added a Clear Jewel Bling Strip around the perimeter.  Taking my cue from the washi tape, I colored the bling with Copic markers...they take color beautifully.

 Inside, a cute sentiment which plays off the image:

I purchased a number of stamps at Art Impressions because I have grand plans of including them in my Eyelet Outlet projects.  So, if you like them, stay tuned!

Shades of Spring

It's my pleasure to welcome you to the weekend! This is Rebecca, and I have a couple of cards to share today.  An extra warm welcome to anyone visiting from the Eyelet Outlet booth at the Pleasanton, CA Scrapbook Expo!

I saw my first Reese's egg and Cadbury bunny commercials on February 15th, and now I'm obsessed with thoughts of spring and Easter candy.  Is that normal?  All the Girl Scout cookie tables aren't helping, either.

But instead of eating a giant Easter basket's worth of sugar, I dove into my washi and brad stash and crafted a little spring sunshine!






A bright mix of washi, brads, dots and paper flowers, all circling a bling strip....not as tasty as a bag full of Starburst jellybeans or some caramel-filled anything, but the work kept me out of a box of Girl Scout cookies, so there's that.



I liked it so much, I tried this second version for an Easter card.



I added some gold Sharpie marker on a chocolate bunny to make them looked wrapped and to match the card sentiment.  I just can't stop myself - now I'm dreaming of Lindt!

Bling Strips 5 Ways

Hi Everyone, this is Rebecca with my first post here at Eyelet Outlet.  I'm very excited to join the group today. I'll be greeting everyone here on the blog on Saturday mornings (my favorite morning of the week, hands down).  Happy weekend!

For my first project, I decided to highlight one of my all time favorite embellishment options - bling strips - for a sparkly final page in my 2016 album.

Here are my 5 ideas for using bling strips:

1.  Frame a whole project with full strips. 
I used Jewel Bling in Champagne and Pink. Each strip is long enough for a 12x12, with some length to spare for later use!


2. Use a piece of bling to make your own embellishment.
I made the "X" on my title card.


3. Use a piece of Bling Strip to frame a main page element. 
I chose to frame my 5x7 picture with the same champagne color I used on the page frame.


4. Coordinate a bling strip with a Fancy Bling Strip to make a fuller frame. 
The champagne color was a perfect match! And one strip was the perfect length to cut in half and frame the top and bottom of the picture.


5. Scatter individual pieces around the page. 
Mixed with a variety of enamel dots, glitter dots, mini brads (like the tiny butterflies I used here), and ink, I like the added sparkle the little pieces bring to the page. You can cut the pieces from the strip, but I tend to just pinch a piece from the end, and the sticky back comes with it. No extra glue needed.



I am trying to get into the habit of making a couple of quick cards with any leftover bits and pieces after I make a page.  These two "Hello" note cards came together quickly with my leftover paper bits and embellishments.

  

Thanks for joining us on the blog today!  I hope these ideas spark a project idea for you, too. If you use some of these items, link us up on social media using #eyeletoutlet.

12th Night Invite!

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a very merry Christmas!  We're making our way through the 12 days of Christmas on the way to Epiphany, and today I'm here with a totally over-the-top 12th Night card.  

The colors of the Mardi Gras season are purple, gold, and green, and I absolutely love them together!  I used gold embossing powder for the background, sponging over it with bold colors of distress ink, adding a band of sparkling green and purple jewel bling strips and glittery gold washi tape with a giant frou-frou purple bow.  

The admission ticket dangling from the bow features a gold embossed crown with purple jewels.  Beautiful green jewel bling leads the eye from one corner of the design to the other. 

Inside is a bold embossed crown with more purple and green jewels.

While this card is designed for 12th Night, the kick-off of the Mardi Gras season, it would be easily adaptable to practically any holiday or special occasion!  

We're planning to enjoy some King Cake and chicory coffee on the day of Epiphany, January 6th.  I hope you are enjoying an extended holiday celebration, too!  It's nice to make the most of the season since it seems to come and go so quickly!    

Wishing all of the best to you for 2018!
