We’re friends for the long haul

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a friendship pick-me-up card using our Truck Stamp Set with matching Truck Brads along with our Car Brads and some Red Jewel Bling. I know I’ve mentioned before that I love our stamps and matching brads, or matching brads and washi tape. So much fun!

I cut a standard A2 size landscape top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a rectangle die cut from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock and an oval die cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock which I layered together. Using the Truck Stamp Set, I stamped the sentiment and highway in black ink and added a Truck Brad and two Car Brads. I adhered the panel to the card front and added Red Jewel Bling to complete the front.

I cut the same rectangle die cut from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock and an oval die cut from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock for the inside which I layered together. Using the Truck Stamp Set, I stamped the sentiment in black ink, added a Truck Brad in the corner, and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… if this card doesn’t lift a friend’s spirits, I don’t know what would, lol! Such fun stamps and brads!

Three Favorite Holiday Projects for Eyelet Outlet

Hey peeps! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today sharing my three favorite holiday projects created with our amazing products! This is a different kind of post – all three of these projects have already been showcased on my blog. When this idea was presented to our design team, we all loved it, so hopefully this is the start of a new holiday tradition! 

The first of my three favorites is this adorable Merry Christmoose card! These Moose Brads are some of the coolest brads ever, which I paired with our Copper Skinny Washi Tape and White Enamel Dots to create this fun scene.

The card in the number two spot is this peaceful serene scene created with our Cardinal Brads and Cardinal Profile Brads against a Glitter Star Washi Tape background embellished with Snowflake Brads and White Enamel Dots.

And my third favorite is this step card shaker! Who can resist a shaker card?! Especially a shaker card filled with our gorgeous Snowflake Sequins?! I also used clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling and Clear Bling Strips to embellish the snowflakes on the front of the shaker.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s post, even though it’s a little bit different from the norm!

Merry Christmas Step Card Shaker

11/26/21 Top 3 at Crafty Catz!
12/1/21 Winner at Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog!
12/15/21 Honorable Mention at Christmas Craft Creations!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! Seems I’m always in Christmas mode so I created a classic step card and added a snowflake shaker element which I filled with our Snowflake Sequins. I used clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling and Clear Bling Strips to embellish the snowflakes on the front of the shaker.

I used a step card die set to cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock along with layers from CutCardStock Curious Metallic White Silver cardstock and Hot Off The Press Snowfall 6×6 double-sided papers which I adhered to the card base. I built the shaker element with the Hot Off The Press Snowflakes Ornament Chipboard, using the Snowfall patterned paper for the inside and added several additional die cut rings (using two circle dies) cut from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock to make it just a tad deeper and then filled it with our Snowflake Sequins. I painted the outside rim and edge silver with a Posca Silver paint pen and colored the snowflakes on the front of the shaker with alcohol markers in blue tones, adding clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling and Clear Bling Strips to embellish them. I adhered a tied snowflake ribbon to the top and added a sentiment stamped in blue ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock from the Trinity Stamps A Sentiment For (Almost) Everything stamp set to complete the card.

Here are a few more shots of this awesome card.

And one more peek of the card folded flat for mailing. I sure do love how this turned out! Shakers are among my all-time favorites!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a super fun Envelope Box Card featuring our Bumble Bee Brads and Pink Jewel Bling! I love my Scan N Cut and I always cut several projects when I take it out of the cabinet for a crafty session, and this card was one from the latest batch. I really enjoyed this!

I cut the base from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, and the rest of the pieces from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Magenta cardstock CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock, CutCardStock Dolphin cardstock and Colorbok Seeing Dots cardstock. Then the fun began of assembling the card! I added the sentiment using die cut letters and some Pink Jewel Bling.

hello lovely

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week and you’re looking forward to relaxing this weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m thrilled to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a pretty birthday card featuring our new Female Cardinal Brads which I paired with our Glitter Brown Washi Tape, Valentine Washi Tape and White Enamel Dots! Nothing like girls hanging out jabbering to one another, lol!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and CutCardStock Pop-Tone Hot Fudge cardstock, and rounded the top left and bottom right corners. Using the Hero Arts Color Layering Birds & Blossoms stamp set, I stamped the branch in Memento Espresso Truffle ink and the flowers in Hero Arts Soft Pink ink and Hero Arts Bubble Gum ink on the white panel, added three Female Cardinal Brads on the limbs, and added strips of Glitter Brown Washi Tape and Valentine Washi Tape across the bottom. I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in brown ink, cut it with a stitched oval die and adhered it to the bottom right portion of the washi tape. I adhered the layering panels together and then to card base, and added several White Enamel Dots to complete the front.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the Glitter Brown Washi Tape and Valentine Washi Tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts Color Layering Birds & Blossoms stamp set in brown ink and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pop-Tone Hot Fudge cardstock after rounding the upper left and bottom right corners.

And one more look… I really do love a pink and brown color combo! And aren’t these brads gorgeous?!

Thanks a Latte!

Hi everyone! Happy Happy Saturday! It’s so hard to believe that we are nearing the end of October already. Now it won’t be long at all until that round jolly man with the beard makes his appearance! I’m thrilled to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! Who doesn’t love latte?! I do, I do! I’m not a huge coffee drinker (hubs and I each have two cups every morning) but I do love iced coffee and latte, and indulge myself in a mocha latte whenever I’m near a Starbucks! Our new Iced Coffee Brads hit the store earlier this month and I paired them with our Brown Enamel Dots to create this fun thank you card.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering strip from Papertrey Ink Terracotta Tile cardstock along with a patterned paper layer from The Paper Studio Tattered and Worn 12×12 paper pad (one of my all-time favorites) which I adhered to the card base. I cut a slightly smaller layering strip from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and adhered it to the brown one in a wonky off-set fashion. I printed the Latte sentiment on Solar White cardstock and cut it in a wonky fashion as well with the My Favorite Things Stitched Square STAX Die-namics. I also cut a slightly larger square die cut from the brown cardstock and adhered them together. I affixed two Iced Coffee Brads to the left side of the strip panel and adhered it to the card base. I added the layered square die cuts and several Brown Enamel Dots to complete the card front.

I cut the inside panel and a narrow embellishing strip from Papertrey Ink Terracotta Tile cardstock. Using the My Favorite Things Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics, I cut a panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and adhered it to the brown cardstock panel along with the narrow embellishing strip. I stamped the large sentiment from the Wplus9 Hand Lettered Thanks stamp set in Rich Cocoa ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

And one more look… really happy with how this turned out! I absolutely love these new Iced Coffee Brads, and the enamel dots are some of my all-time favorites that I use on just about every Eyelet Outlet inspiration project I create, lol!

You’re the Sweetest

Hi everyone! Well, another week has come and gone and we find ourselves busting into another weekend! I hope you have something fun planned! I’m happy to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a sweet friendship card featuring our new Cupcake Swirl Brads that hit the store last week! Don’t these look super yummy?! I paired them with White Enamel Dots on the front and used a little bit of Valentine Washi Tape on the inside. This easy design is just the ticket if you need some uplifting friendship cards in your stash!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering strip from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock along with a pink patterned paper layering panel and strip from one of my favorites, The Paper Studio Tattered and Worn paper pad. I rounded the bottom right corner of the card base and layering panel, and adhered the panels to the card base. I adhered the strips together, added three Cupcake Swirl Brads toward the top, and adhered the strip vertically to the card base. The final step to complete the front was adding a die cut digital sentiment embellished with White Enamel Dots.

I cut a short panel for the inside from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, embellished it with strips of Valentine Washi Tape and stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Everyday Greetings stamp set, and layered it on a patterned paper layer.

And one more peek… such a fun friendship card that could be used for a variety of occasions! I’m in love with these cupcake brads!

Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a card using some of the new brads that hit the store a few days ago! What’s more fun than new brads?! These Gift Brads are super versatile and can be used for any occasion, and I paired them with our Gold Skinny Washi Tape and Green Enamel Dots to create a simple Christmas card!

I cut the white cardstock and red dotted cardstock layering panels at an angle, butted them together and applied a strip of Gold Skinny Washi Tape at the seam. I stamped the sentiment in red ink, added the Gift Brads, and adhered the panel to the dark red cardstock. The finishing touch on the front was the addition of several Green Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with strips of the red dotted cardstock and gold washi tape, stamped the sentiment in red ink, and adhered the panel to dark red cardstock.

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a stitched rectangle die cut for the background from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock. I die cut the ‘jolly’ word from red glitter sheet and adhered it to the stitched panel. I added a Santa Hat Brad and and two boots from the Santa Suit Brads, along with several Snowflake Brads, and then adhered the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of red glitter sheet. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and cut it with a small stitched rectangle die. I added a Santa Suit Brad in the lower left corner and layered the panel on CutCardStock Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock.

Get your train rollin’

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! October is probably my favorite month of the entire year and I can’t believe it’s here already! Yay for my birthday and Yay for Fall! ;) Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a mini slimline for a super sweet little boy who turned one a few days ago! This was such a fun card and features our Train Mix Brads and Sun & Cloud Brads. I semi-CASEd the sentiment on one of my own designs from several years ago where I used a tractor.

I cut a mini slimline landscape top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock. I printed the front and inside sentiments on a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock and trimmed them down to be slightly smaller than the blue panels. Let me interrupt for a PSA: The typical mini slimline is 3″ x 6″, however, I decided going forward that I’ll make mini slimlines 3-1/2″ x 6″ which will be the legal size for mailing. ;) I hand-drew the train track across the white panel with a black alcohol marker, added Train Mix Brads and Sun & Cloud Brads, and adhered the panels to the card base. The final touch was drawing a little ‘smoke’ coming from the locomotive with a light gray alcohol marker.

As mentioned above, I printed the front and inside sentiments on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and trimmed the panels down slightly smaller than the blue layering panels. I embellished the white sentiment panel with strips cut from CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock, CutCardStock Pop-Tone Wild Cherry cardstock and CutCardStock Pop-Tone Lemon Drop cardstock, added an additional Train Mix Brad, and layered the panel on CutCardStock Basis Blue cardstock.

And one more look… such a fun card! I absolutely love these little train brads!
