Fall Soap Box Gift

One way I love to use Eyelet Outlet's brads are on packages, boxes and other 3D items. Today's project is a foaming hand soap box that I decorated with several brads to give this box an elevated look.

The box was cut on my Cricut machine. After assembling it, I went to work putting on my embellishments. In the center of the bow, I added a Pumpkin Brad. Working down from there on the box, you'll see a Truck Brad on the felt leaf. At the bottom of the box window, I included a Sunflower Brad, another Pumpkin Brad, and a Gnome Brad. 

What do you think? I loved how this turned out so much, I have decided to make several more of this style for holiday gifts. They'd be perfect as a small token of appreciation to a hostess during the season of gatherings and parties! Good thing there's lots of holiday brads and bling to choose from in the EO store!

Thankful for Your Friendship

 This is a great time of year to remember what you are thankful for, especially as the year begins to draw to a close. This week's card is simple but it packs a punch in its color and basic shapes.

This card relies on color and texture for it's impact. The Thankful word is accented with all the things that remind us of fall. Sunflowers, a pumpkin, fall leaves and a scarecrow all give the fall vibes. Also used for some additional shine is skinny metallic stripe washi tape. 

The word is made with a clever stencil that allows you to overlap the letters. I placed it on metallic bronze paper with cardstock scallop borders. Let's face it though, it's the EO brads that really make this card special.

Stop by the store and pick up your fall brads before the season is over!

Thankful Fall

Fall is so much fun to craft. I love using fall colors and textures and today's card was super fun to put together. This is a simple fancy fold which results in a pop-up middle portion. It folds flat for mailing and a panel can be added to the back for a sentiment and note.

I decorated this fall card with several EO brads and bling. I placed three Butterfly Brads, one on each panel. Two Pumpkin Brads and a Sunflower rest under the mushroom die cut. I added a lovely Acorn from the Acorn and Squirrel Brad set. Last I added Orange Cut Jewel Bling and yellow Glitter Enamels on the panels and as spots on the mushroom.

You can create a similar look with these EO products:

It's Fall Y'all! My First Fall Card of the Season

It's officially fall, y'all, and I'm so excited to share my very first autumn card of the season! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year, with its mild weather and all the cozy things that come with it. (Of course, that's until Christmas rolls around, then it's a whole new favorite!)

This card features two super fun washi tapes - Gnome Garden Washi Tape and Bee Washi Tape. I've sandwiched them between strips of embossed vellum, which adds a subtle texture. This card was even easier to create because I used a pre-printed card base—it's always great to find a good shortcut!

Decorating this card are a Gnome Brad 2, a Sunflower Brad, three Leaf Brads and three Glitter Enamels. Eyelet Outlet embellishments always take my cards from good to great with minimal effort. You have to love that!

Happy Birthday Texas!

In honor of Texas Independence Day on March 2, I created a Texas themed banner featuring many Eyelet Outlet products. March 2nd is actually my birthday, too, but I'm not quite as old as Texas who will be celebrating 189 years!

I used a white star brad on the first pendant and our sunflower brads on the boots pendant. I was inspired to create this project by our soon-to-be-released yellow roses which I paired with a mini leaf brad, music note brad and yellow enamel heart.

I paired one of our cactus brads with a horse brad for the ranch pendant and added some heart brads for the next one. The great state of Texas is famous for our beautiful wild flowers. The flower washi tape I used on the background of the last pendant reminded me of our state flower, the bluebonnet.

Thanks for stopping by and helping me wish Texas a very happy birthday!

Thanksgiving Wine Tag

 

Hello EO fans! This year my family have been invited for Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house. I was thinking about how to thank them for this and it came to me that I could dress up a bottle of wine nicely with a wine tag decorated with EO brads and bling. So - that's just what I did!

I made the hangtag using a stitched slimline die. It turns out that this is the perfect size to make a wine tag. I scored the top of metallic rose gold piece and applied two pieces of fall patterned papers to the top of the scored piece and to the bigger bottom piece. I cut these to leave a 1/8" border on all side. I used a punch to make the hole for the wine bottle neck. 

To decorate this, I stamped and cut a Thankful sentiment, made a twine bow and added a leaf and Pilgrim Hat pre-printed die cuts. Then I added all the EO goodness. I tucked a Rooster Brad in near the top of the hat. I also added Leaf Brads, Sunflower, and Squirrel Brads around the hat. At the top of the tag, I added an Acorn Brad. As a final touch, I added clear bling and small white pearls. 

I am so pleased with this tag, I am definitely going to make some Christmas wine tags. I think they'll turn out beautifully.

SHOPPING LIST:
Acorn & Squirrel Brads
Leaf Brads
Rooster Brads
Sunflower Brads
12mm Bling Jewels - Clear

Autumn Wreath

I love a wreath card and Eyelet Outlet products make them super easy to create for all seasons. Today's make has a fall vibe with our amazing leaf brads. There's 4 different leaves in the set - a green one, as well as oak and maple leaves in fall colors. I also used a few from the mini leaf brad set near the sentiment. They're exactly like the larger ones I used on the wreath, but in an adorable mini size!

I also added an acorn brad and some sunflowers to the wreath, a couple of our very popular pumpkin brads as well as a squirrel brad.  

I hope you'll add some Eyelet Outlet products to your next wreath card and don't forget to tag us on social media when you do!

Harvest Thanks

 

Happy Saturday Eyelet Outlet fans!! I'm definitely into fall right now and EO always has just what you need to make cards great no matter the theme. Today, I have a harvest themed card that features EO's Scarecrow Brads, Rooster Brads, Pumpkin Brads, Sunflower Brads, and Orange Pearl Bling.When I run across unique ephemera like the one I used here, I can't help but get excited about how great EO products will elevate it into something even better and do it so easily! 

To create the scene, I cut a gold stitched mat for my A2 card. I made a frame by nesting 2 other stitched frames together before running them through my die cut machine. I ran a piece of chocolate cardstock through a wood 3-D folder and cut it to fit inside the orange frame. I stamped and heat embossed the word Thankful on dark purple cardstock, and stamped and cut the For You sentiment.

I layered all these pieces together and glued the ephemera in place. I added all the brads and pearl bling to make a really great harvest scene that I look forward to mailing off to family soon! 

SHOPPING LIST:
Scarecrow Brads
Sunflower Brads
Rooster Brads
Pearl Bling Multi-Orange
