Caution! Game Night Might Be Fun

Hi everyone! It's Janet here today with a little game night fun. This features Eyelet Outlet's Caution Tape Washi and several brad sets with a game/movie theme. I don't know. This card just might get my teenager to stick around on Saturday night and show us his moves!

Sending Smiles

 

Hi everyone! It's Janet here with a bright and colorful card. This one has a background of washi tape in many styles and colors. Check out the shopping list for your favorite patterns. I decided to heat emboss a white diamond pattern over the entire panel and to my delight, it worked very well. I will say the panel initially warped from the heat but I applied an adhesive sheet behind the panel and attached to another piece of cardstock. This controlled the warping perfectly. 

On top of this card, I added a fun die cut and strip sentiment. I couldn't help but add a unicorn and rainbow from the Unicorn & Rainbow Brads.


Thanks much for stopping by. Please stop by the Eyelet Outlet Store and check out the amazing inventory of washi tapes.

Happy Creating Everyone!

Always Be Happy!

 

It always seems to me that cats are happy creatures. They can act up sometimes but mostly they seem pretty happy with their lives. When I saw the cat sticker sentiment and the always be happy strip sentiment, it seemed to me they fit together nicely.

Some Bunny Loves You

 

Good morning everyone! I'm here today to show off my first spring/Easter card of 2022! Valentine's Day marks the beginning of the spring season and I am totally ready for it. How about you?

This card features a cute little spring bunny image. What makes this card special are the fun brads and washi tapes from the store. It's so easy and fast to create a scene using washi tapes. The egg and polka dot stripes are washi tapes. The grass the bunny is tucked into is also washi.  I've used a Chick brad, Butterfly Brads-Bright and the Sun and Cloud brad set in the scene. Finally I added a Pink Enamel Dot and two pink Heart Shaped Enamel Hearts to finish this scene.

The cute little bunny is from the Art Impressions set 4886K - Easter Blessings. Digital Paper is from CuteNCraftyMommy on Etsy. SALE ALERT! Get 30% off your order at CuteNCraftyMommy using code SUNCRAFTTALK30!

Live Love Woof!


It's Janet here with a friendship card celebrating man's best friend. This card was made with several fun products from the Eyelet Outlet Store. 

This is a gatefold card, meaning that a flap folds from the left side and the right so that they meet in the middle of the card front. I made a matching panel to put on top. Only the left side is glued to the left flap so that it opens with ease.

Once the card base was constructed, I placed a border of Dog Washi Tape across the top and the bottom of the flaps. Before I glued the center patterned cardstock on to the brown mat, I applied the Live and Woof stickers. I cut the O out of the Love sticker and used a Paw brad instead. I added the dog house from the Kennel Mix brad set and the tallest of the dogs from the Puppy brad set. The cool thing about this set is that it matches the dog washi tape so well! The final touch was Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

Once completed, I glued the center panel on the brown mat. This way the back side with the brad's prongs are covered with cardstock. Then I glued the left side of the finished center panel to the left flap. This is a quick way to utilize stickers to make a quick but cute card. I picked up the sticker set at the Dollar Tree so it was inexpensive as well as perfect for this card.  

SHOPPING LIST:

Thanks for stopping by today. Check out the Eyelet Outlet Store for all their dog and cat themed brads. There are many more than I used today and there's sure to be something you can't live without!

Happy Birthday Tool Man!

 

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm here with a fun masculine card featuring Eyelet Outlet brads and washi tape. I've used many different washi tapes on this card. It all works together to create a happy birthday tool man theme.

I've also added tool brads to this card. I think the wrench and hammer is perfect for this man. These are from the Tools brad set. The hand saw is from the Saw brad set. Green, orange and white pearls add just a little bit of bling. This may be a man's card but I still think the pearls add the right touch.

This card is for my husband who it a real tool man. I think he's going to get a kick out of it. I just love that no matter the theme, EO always has just the right washi tape and brads. 


Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I inspired you to do a little winter cardmaking. Have a great week!

Winter Beauty

  

So how's the weather been treating you? A lot of the country has had some rough weather lately and here in Charlotte we actually had snow! Woohoo! We don't get snow too often and we got some last Sunday and again Friday night. It doesn't last long here which is just how I like it. It's pretty when it comes and just as nice when it goes. 

All the cold temps and the snow inspired my card today. There are many products that can be used for a winter theme. The background of the forest is made with Glitter Winter Washi Tape. I love the subtle pattern of trees in the tape. I used two rows of Sparkle White Glitter Tape to represent the snow. Two strips of Fancy Long Bling-Pearls & Jewels in clear adds a bit more sparkle. I used a pair of Moose Brads in the scene. The Cardinal Brad is the perfect pop of color in this neutral scene. 


Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I inspired you to do a little winter cardmaking. Have a great week!

Happy Birthday Weenie!

  

January is an important time at my house because it's my husband's birthday month. It's a tradition that his birthday card has a doxie dog on it. It began decades ago when our fur baby was a doxie. Our beloved Tigger has been gone a long time but he is always remember during Steve's birthday. Funny how traditions begin but that's the story behind ours.

I saw this ephemera piece in a paper pad I have in my stash and of course my head danced with all kinds of way to make this really special using Eyelet Outlet brads, washi tapes and bling. I love it and I think my husband will too! It's so easy to take something good and make it great with EO embellishments.

I Love You A Sloth!

I've been working on Valentine's Day cards lately and I couldn't wait to bring out the sloths from the Eyelet Outlet Sloth and Koala brad set for this card. The koalas are perfectly sized for the small branches I have in my stamp and die stash. In this case, I decided to use dies for the branches and leaves. Pastel Leaf brads and pink and red Heart Enamels were also used as embellishments. The sky background was created by using two pieces of Sky Washi tape on a small piece of cardstock. I placed it under the scalloped window so that the seam is mostly behind the lower branch. It disguises it very well. Although not much is seen of the cute pattern, I used a border of Sloth Washi tape on the card edges. It gives a nice black border to the bright green paper and I like that there are little flowers peaking out as well. You can get all of these items and more at the EO store.

This is an A2 sized card with a 4" x 5 1/4" green panel. A scallop die from my stash was used to cut an opening in the front. After attaching the branches and the sky panel behind the window, I used foam tape to secure it to a white card base. The phrase was cut with a design from Cricut Design Space.

Happy Creating Everyone!

Voila! Cupcakes Are Served!

 


Hello! It's Janet here to show you another card using the new Swirl Cupcake brads. This is a clean and simple card (CAS) that shows off the yummy looking cupcakes and one of the pink hearts from the Heart Brad Set. Sometimes the simplest things are the best things! 

The jolly chef comes from an old Stampin' Up stamp set called Voila! I found set while thrift shopping two years ago and FINALLY used it. It's super simple to color since it's almost all shades of gray. He's really a cheerful fella isn't he? 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope your Sunday is restful and peaceful! It may be one of the last easy going weekends left before the Christmas season hits so eat up!

We're the Perfect Blend - Coffee Inspired Card

Happy Sunday everyone! It's Janet and today I'm here showing off Eyelet Outlet's new Iced Coffee Brads. When I saw that there are strawberry and chocolate coffees in this set, I thought of the sentiment I used on this card. It's sweet but not too sappy and could be given to a best friend or a significant other. 

Christmas Gnome Cutie!

 


Hello! It's my turn at the Eyelet Outlet blog. Today I have a cut little gnome for Christmas. He's making Gift Brads deliveries today since we all know it's going to be impossible to order gifts after October this year! Ha ha!

This card features the Glitter Winter Washi Tape as the background. A Holly Brad decorates the sentiment. A cute little green Heart Pastel Shaped Enamel Dot decorates his hat. The gnome and his cart is printable art I purchased from Pink Gem Designs. I fussy cut him before applying with foam tape.

In case you didn't notice, Eyelet Outlet issued four new brad sets this week. In addition to Gift Brads, we added Female Cardinal Brads, Cupcake Swirl Brads and Iced Coffee Brads. They are awesome additions to add to your stash and will help get your creativity going.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hi everyone! It's my day on the Eyelet Outlet blog and I've got a fun, sorta spooky A2 sized Halloween card for you today. The spooky tree is accented with Ghost, Eye, Mini Leaf and Spider brads. I love how the eyes give the tree a real personality! 

The images and sentiment in this card are from the new Diamond Press Peek-A-Boo set. I stamped the tree first on Copic friendly cardstock. Then I colored the tree with a brown blend and used a bright yellow marker for the eyes and mouth. I cut a mask for the tree and put it over the colored image. I did the ink blending with oxide inks and then splattered the panel with water and Dylusians White Linen Spray. The webs are from the new Art Impressions Web Dies Set. 

This was a fun card to make. What Halloween cards are you making this year? Check out the EO store for all your fall and Halloween embellishments!

Nostalgic Fall - Apple Pie and More!

 


Hi everyone! It's feeling more like fall here all the time and the season always makes me think of the good apple pie that would be served in my hometown restaurant this time of year. The restaurant (and 25 cent pie) is long gone now but the memories remain. 

Today's card for Eyelet Outlet let me bring to life some of those old memories. The paper piecing was done with a file called Apple Darling from KaDoodle Bug Designs. I cut it on my Silhouette Cameo 4 machine. I used a die for the blessings word and cut and glued 4 layers together for some depth. I used chalk to highlight the pie edges and white chalk to make the chalkboard seem a little more chalk-like.

Once the paper piecing was done, I arranged the scene by adding Apple, Coffee and Sunflower Brads from Eyelet Outlet. The brads add nice metal textures and bright colors to any scene made with them.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week!

 Happy Creating!

Let's Get Baked! Gingerbread Christmas Card

  

Hello everyone! I'm just not able to stop Christmas crafting so I guess I give up! I'm going to keep throwing in a Christmas card or two each month until the big day arrives! 

I started this card by cutting the doily and phrases for this card with a file in Cricut Design Space. I cut the doily in a beige cardstock but decided to ink it up with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to give it a more "baked" look. I sprayed the inked doily with Glitter Dust and white iridescent spray. As it dried, I covered a 6 x 6 card panel with black and gold foil washi tape. On the doily, I placed the words and inserted the brads from the Gingerbread Set and the Baking Set. Then I glued the doily to the washi panel. To finish the card, I placed several different sizes of Black Pearl Bling on the card.


Thanks for stopping by today. Remember, it's never too early for a good baking!

Halloween Fun!

 

Hi everyone! If you celebrate Halloween, now is the time to start planning for the cards you want to give. Today's card shows how quick and easy it is to put together a Halloween card that mixes a little scary with a little whimsical. I personally love using Eyelet Outlet's embellishments like the Small Eye brad on the paper bow on this card. It makes it perfectly clear that the design doesn't take itself very seriously. 

I used two skinny glitter washi tapes on either side of the Halloween Washi Tape. I embossed a piece of gold cardstock with a web embossing folder and used a little gilding wax to add some shine. The Mini Spider brads go perfectly on the embossed webs and they blend in nicely with the web and spider sticker. A Ghost Brad and Green Pearl Bling are the finishing touches.


Thanks so much for stopping by today. I invite you to visit the store and stock up on your own Halloween stash. Don't forget that all these embellishments work fantastic on treat bags, tags and other Halloween crafts.

Happy Creating Everyone!

What's the Scoop?

  

What's your favorite summer treat? For me, it's an ice cream cone. This one is decorated with several items from Eyelet Outlet.

Cloudy With a Chance Of...Cheery Umbrellas!

  

Today I have a card using a variety of techniques and Art Impressions and Eyelet Outlet products to create this fun Windows to the World Scene. I am playing along with the current AI challenge on the blog. The challenge is to make anything with clouds on it. 

Sailboat Dreams

  


Good Morning! Today I have a card made with a quartet of good things from the Eyelet Outlet store. I cut a large stitched tag using a die in my stash and the decorated it up with the new Boat and Lighthouse brad set. I stacked a white and yellow paper flower together and used a Ship Wheel brad for the center. I use pearl bling to create some motion on this. It really reminds me of currents. It's surprising sometimes what bling can do and there's so much to choose from at the store! 

Sandy Feet Are The Best Feet!

  

Hello crafty friends! Today I've got a fun sandy beach scene full of fun EO beachy brads. To make this card, I created a blended background out of distress oxide inks. The sand was created first by masking off the horizon line and then I blended the water and sky. 

I used the new brown flip flop brads along with Sandcastle Brads and Beach Umbrella Brads. The Sun and Cloud Brad set always looks great in a sky scene. 

SHOPPING LIST:

I matted the scene on a handmade water color background I had made some time ago. I keep handmade backgrounds on my work table until I find a use for them. I think this one looked great with the scene colors. I used a light brown kraft cardstock with lots of fiber in it for the A2 card base.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are having a beachy day!
