More fun with The Paper Nest Dolls!

Hello Eyelet Outlet friends.This month, the crafty designers from The Eyelet Outlet were each given a rubber stamp from 

The Paper Dolls Nest to work with.  These fine-lined images are etched deep into the red rubber so you get a very nice image when you stamp them off.  I was given Pirate Owen to use.

I paired him up with some of the Sea Shore inspired Paper Flowers from The Eyelet Outlet.

A stippled jewel brad adds to the bounty of this pirate chief!  (Love the feathers too, right!!)

I used some jewels from the Bling Strips to adorn Owen's Hat and cufflinks.

Along the bottom of my card, you will find Sea Shell brads. Look carefully for the Pocket Watch Brad.

Did our pirate hide is loot?  

Pearls and jewels from Bling Strips are scattered along the Sea Shell Brads.

Thanks for casting your anchor with us today!

Make sure you visit the Paper Nest Dolls Challenge blog to find out how you can submit a project to this week's challenge!

Be sure to come back each day this week to see how the Eyelet Outlet Designers

embellished the Paper Nest Doll images!

Eyelet Outlet and the Paper Nest Dolls

Hello Eyelet Outlet friends! We are so excited to bring you a fun week of inspiration with The Paper Nest Dolls images paired with Eyelet Outlet products.

All week long we will be sharing our newly released brads as well as some sneaks of new items that will be available for purchase at the Eyelet Outlet website very soon!

And if that's not enough, at the end of the week you will find out how you can win a generous mix of Eyelet Outlet products for yourself!

OK now that I have you excited, here's a look at a card I created using The Paper Nest Dolls Little Birdie Avery image and some of our fun brads.

Supplies: purple bling strip, saying bubble brads, frog set brads, stitched flower brads bright, and peach and orange dots paper flowers.

I stamped the image twice and fussy cut it to layer over the top of the second image. I then colored the image with copics and added some Crystal Stickles. Then I paper pieced pattern paper to create an outfit. I love this technique since it takes me back to the days of dressing up paper dolls.

 

Don't forget to hop on over to The Paper Nest blog to see how their team used Eyelet Outlet products on their creations today and find out how you can create something for this week's challenge!

We'll see you tomorrow with more fun inspiration with The Paper Nest Dolls!

The Eyelet Outlet Team

Design Team Monday with Kerry

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans!  Kerry here, sharing a fun card using a few of my favorite Eyelet Outlet goodies.

I have been madly in love with washi tape for the longest time, so when I saw the new 

washi/decorative tape, I was over the moon!

I decided to create a fun pattern paper using the washi tape.  I just use white card stock as a base and cover it with washi tape love.  

Then, I stamped the image directly on the 'washi pattern paper'.

I stamped the same image again on a separate card stock.  Then I colored her face and hair with Copic markers.  (Face E00, E11;  Hair E33, E35, E37).  I fussy out her hat and outfit and adhered to the card.   Note:  I actually stamped the image 2 separate 'washi pattern paper', one for each pattern (washi tape love and washi tape glitter - light maroon)

To finish the card, I also added pink paper flower, 14mm scallop brads - pink, jewel bling strips - grey, and saying bubble brads.  And Viola!

Hope you like it and have fun with all your yummy washi tapes!

And before I say goodbye... here are a few more 'washi pattern paper' samples for your inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Design Team Wednesday with Dawn

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans. Dawn here today.

I enjoy receiving words of encouragement. 

Over the years, I have saved notes here and there from friends and acquaintances who have brightened my day with their kind words.  Do you have notes of encouragement tucked into special places too?

Be sure to pay it forward and encourage someone today!

Here are a couple of inspiring cards using snazzy brads from The Eyelet Outlet!

Aren't these Scissors Brads so eye catching?

I used bits of bling strips (pearls) for a bit of color interest.

But those scissors make a great statement!

Supplies:

Scissors Brads

Bling Strips

This card is great for the youthful...or youthful at heart!

I love the playful colors of the pinwheel brads.

I used matching colors in bling strips.  They just POP! against the dark eggplant card base.

A nice change from black, don't you think!

Supplies:

Pinwheel Brads

Bling Strips

Thanks so much for all your encouraging comments and for stopping by today!

Design Team Monday with Susie

Welcome Eyelet Outlet Fans!

Susie here to share a few cards with you. 

Now that it's July in Texas, it's pretty hot, so I've been thinking about cooling off.  A fan, you say?  Yes, please.  So I built up a circle embellishment to really show off my Fan brad.  Isn't it the cutest?  The rest of the card just followed along, but I didn't have a sentiment for the pun I was trying to deliver, so I just typed it out and then die cut.  I added some black  Enamel Dots to the left of the fan for a bit of balance. One thing I want to tell you too, is that I didn't use ANY patterned paper on my card.  All of that sweet pink and white is one of our new Washi tape patterns.  I just LOVE the new styles.

Next I wanted to do something with the current sketch.   If I could use this sketch for every card I make for a while, I think I'd be happy! You have until July 27th to enter the challenge too. I focused on some more of our new Washi tape and also used some of the Enamel Arrows.  They were just perfect finishing touches!
 Be sure to grab some brads, Washi tape and Enamel Dots to make a card to send to someone special today. 
And be sure to stay tuned here at the blog.

We always have something fun to share with you and inspire you!

 If you have a chance, I would love for you to visit me at The Dies Have It.
 

Design Team Wednesday with Susan

Susan here wishing you Happy Independence Day from all of us on the Eyelet Outlet Design Team! I've got a couple of fun little projects for you today that will  make your summer picnics extra special! First up is this Mason Jar filled with pinwheels.  Each pinwheel is  held together with a different color Eyelet Outlet Ice Pop Brad.  My Crop-A-Dial Big Bite was the perfect tool to put holes in my jar lid so my pinwheels would stand up nicely in my Mason Jar. 

A great thing about this project is that ANY of Eyelet Outlet brads would make marvelous fasteners for these pinwheels, so the only limit is your imagination when it comes to creating this project.

Supplies Used

Cricut 3-D Pinwheels Cartridge

Two Sided Patterned Paper

Wooden Dowel

Glue Gun

Eyelet Outlet Ice Pop Brads

Next up is a project that your picnic guests will get a great big kick out of and it could not be EASIER!  I simply punched a couple of holes along the rim of my paper plates and added some Eyelet Outlet Ant Brads! 

These place settings were so quick and easy to put together and were a GREAT hit with my guests as I'm sure they will be with yours!  I used the Mini-Ant Brads, but the Regular Sized Ants would be great, too. 



Supplies Used

  Dollar Store Paper Goods

 Hole Punch

 Regular Size Ant Brads OR Mini Size Ant Brads



Enjoy a safe and happy time with your picnic guests this weekend and be back next week for a some more great projects from your Eyelet Outlet Design Team!
