He is Risen!

 I love celebrating Easter! I love making memories with my family, giving Easter baskets, enjoying a traditional Easter dinner, and Easter egg hunting! But, more importantly, I love basking in the reason for our celebrating! Our Risen Savior, the hope of the world for indeed He is Risen! 

 

I love creating backgrounds using Eyelet Outlet washi tapes! This background is called "Time for Flowers" and because it is a wider style, I only needed 3 rows. Next, I created my cross using the wood washi adhered to cardstock and my purple drape from the purple washi. I added white flowers in 2 different sizes with a little shading of pink distress ink and a green jewel for embellishment. Lastly, I stamped my Easter greeting! He is Risen! Yes, He is Risen, Indeed! I hope you have a blessed Easter Sunday celebrating with family and friends!

Retro Polaroid Camera Birthday Card


 Remember the good old 70's when the instant Polaroid Camera was all the rage? I was a child but child or not, everyone found it magical and fun. The pictures weren't that great but hey, it was the joy in watching the photo develop in front of your eyes that never grew old!

My card is an homage to the polaroid camera. It's a birthday card for people of a certain age. That would be me and others older than me I suppose. This was super fun to design. I used Star Brads and the cameras from the Travel Brads. I also used a single clear stippled jewel brad for the camera button. The polka dot border is Green Dot Washi Tape. It turned out so cute!

A Simple Time

 

This week's card takes us back in time. It takes us to a time that was much simpler when there were no cell phones, no computers and if you wanted to get something done you needed to use good old fashioned elbow grease. 

I created this card using multiple steampunk/old fashioned type washi tape cut in squares for the background. If you look closely, one of the squares is the pre embossed faux leather Eyelet Outlet offers at their shows. 

Attached to the base are three tags, each bejeweled and embellished with multiple old fashioned type brads and bling. The card is finished off with multiple large, stippled jewels and several different chip board sentiments. 


This is a fun card that will be sure to brighten anyone’s day and bring them back to a simpler time.


Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

Happy Birthday

We all need birthday cards and I'm trying to make up a stack to have on hand so I'm not scrabbling last minute this year.  Here's one I made today.



The colorful "Happy Birthday" image is from the Cricut Design Space image library.  As soon as I saw it, I knew the Eyelet Outlet Birthday Candle brad would make a perfect "I" for this card!  I topped the candle brad with a flame cut from our gold glitter washi tape.  I added a few balloon brads, a gift brad, and a party hat to finish it off. 

Well, I'm off to make the next birthday card for my stash!  See you next week!

Happy Easter Greetings!

I love Easter and the coming of spring! I enjoyed creating a vintage, shabby chic inspired Easter card for a different take on the traditional Easter colors!

I created my background using 2 different washi tapes. One is a beautiful wide, rose, vintage-style washi and the other is a new favorite of mine, the gold script. I stamped my Happy Easter greeting and added 2 bunnies with pearl jewels for eyes. Lastly, I embellished with Easter egg brads and rose brads. I think this card has a vintage and elegant feel, yet it is simple in style and easy to replicate! I hope you enjoy!

Spring Arch

 


Spring is here where I live and the yellow pollen is already
coating everything. But that hasn't stopped me from decorating the house
for spring or planting pansies outside.

I wanted to express the idea of Spring so I used a new die cut I
got from Stampin Up. I had bought it specifically for this card and
I thought the Eyelet Outlet Egg Quicklets would look cute going up the arches.
 I also added the Spring Saying brads from Eyelet Outlet -
they are are so cute.

Of course I am never done with a card unless I find a use for
at least one Eyelet Outlet washi tape and here is a cute
spring one with tulips. I added some small cutout flowers
 to the eggs and also a cream colored pearl. Finally, I added 
a bit of glitter to some leaves and a bright yellow bow.

Here is your Eyelet Outlet Shopping List
Egg Quicklet Eyelets Pastel
Spring Bubble Brads
Tulip Washi Tape
Champagne Pearl Strips

Meow Means I Love You


 It's always fun to create a scene using Eyelet Outlet Brads, Washi and Bling. I used a stencil and inks to get the fun blended background and a fence die cut from Cricut Design Space. Then I heat embossed the sentiments with black and copper embossing powders. Once that was complete, I added all the fabulous brads and sky washi for the border. It was so quick and simple to make this and EO's products make all the difference! How boring would it be without them? This is such a fun way to remind someone you love them. Get your EO embellishments today!

Thinking Of You


Talk about a fun card to create this week's creation for Eyelet Outlet is an adorable 4x4 specialty fold card made from using mostly different types and styles of washi tape.


The front of the card has four different types of washi tape as the base which include the Script Flower Washi Tape, the Bee Washi Tape, the Red Foil Washi Tape and the Flower Washi Tape where I hand-cut the roses and placed them on for movement. The focal point of the front of the card is made by using the Script Flower Washi Tape washy tape and one of the little girls from the Girl Washi Tape cut out and highlighted with the red border. A sweet sentiment was added along with several Jewel Strips - Black and 12mm Bling Jewels in Black on the front.


When you open the card, you get a flash of sparkle from the Red Swirl Bling
and the three Jewel Strips - Black that are sitting on top of the Floral Washi Tape
 pocket.


Sitting inside that pocket, is the cutest little card made from Script Flower Washi Tape  as the base and a hand cut red rose from the Flower Washi Tape as the focal point. I tied a black and white ribbon on the side and bejeweled this piece with several Jewel Strips - Black.



As you can see, many of the colors on this card were made strictly by using washi tape, so it does not matter what colors, types, or styles of card stock you have on hand, if you have a selection of washi tape from Eyelet Outlet, you are able to create a beautiful and unique greeting card at any moment.

Junk Journal Cover Idea

Do you enjoy journaling or collecting creative ideas in a Junk Journal or Art Journal? I decided I would like to have a little journal to make notes or express some creativity!

I started with cutting 3 pieces of kraft cardstock to 4x12 and I folded them in half. I used a punch to create the binding option for the left side. Next, I gathered a few of my favorite Eyelet Outlet supplies! I decided to create a background with a vintage inspired theme! I created my framed flapper girl as the focal point with washi tapes too!  I just love their versatility! So, no matter your particular color schemes or interests you could easily replicate this idea! There are so many options!

I created a slim tag and stamped my sentiment "Think Happy Thoughts" and added some ribbons to finish off the cover! I can't wait to start adding to my little junk journal! I hope you enjoy!

Have An Eggs-tra Special Easter!


 It's always fun to create farm scenes and in this case I have used it to create an Easter card. I created this Easter farm scene using Cricut Design Space and a chicken coop .svg pattern I had in my library. The grass and fence are patterns available from Cricut.

This is a 5" square top-fold card. Once I made the scene with cardstock, I added Colored Daisy Brads, Colored Egg Brads, Chick Brads, and Chicken Brads. I added an "eggs-tra special" sentiment to finish it. This will be fun to pop in the mail to my Mom who always enjoys cards depicting the farm life she loves.

Faux Leather? YES PLEASE!


We all know that Eyelet Outlet has the cutest and largest selection of brads, but did you know that they also have the most fabulous faux leather pieces? From character themed pieces, embossed pieces to duo chrome-colored pieces, their faux leather selection is amazing. 

To highlight the awesomeness of faux leather this week, I decided to make a very simple yet beautiful everyday greeting card.

 The background of the card is the Iris duo chrome-colored faux leather that I glued onto a purple foil card stock which was then glued on to a black background card base. You should see how beautiful the colors are in the light!

 The large floral embellishment in the middle is from the floral duo chrome-colored faux leather. I wanted to highlight the beautiful flowers on this piece of faux leather, so I cut out just one section of three flowers and their attached leaves.

I glued that onto a piece of blue foil card stock which was glued on a piece of white cardstock which I inked to have a purple hue. To finish off the card, I added several Blue Jewel Bling as well as Blue Pearls and a resin flower.

Make sure you check out the selection of faux leather the eyelet outlet carries when they come to a Scrapbook Tradeshow near you.
