🧙‍♀️🎃 Gnome Mischief! Too Cute to Spook Witch Card

I don't know what it is about gnomes, but they sure are cute! Dress them up for any holiday, and they just make you smile. Today, I'm featuring two adorable, witchy gnomes who are far too cute to scare!

This is a 5" x 7" card. To start, I used a pre-printed card base featuring an orange, black, and white background. I printed and cut out the cute gnome image from my computer, then created a matching orange mat. On top of that, I layered a black lace mat, which was then topped with an orange scalloped mat.

Next, I placed two strips of Cat Black Washi Tape as a top and bottom border. It's such a simple way to add more pattern and texture! I rounded opposite corners of the card for a little extra interest before placing the gnome image in the center.

I added a stamped sentiment and accented it with a Gnome Brad. Finally, I enhanced the printed image with several other Eyelet Outlet brads, including Candy Corn, Cat Brads, and a Witch Hat, to complete the spooky-cute look!

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.

Spooky Boos To You!

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! Today I broke out the Halloween vibes. This is a Peek-A-Boo (literally) card style. When you pull on the side, a pop-up mechanism pushes up the surprise. In this case it's a couple of ghosts that rise up above the graveyard scene.

 Of course this scene is perfect for lots of Halloween brads. Bat Brads are hanging out in the purple sky and a Sketch Owl Brad is perched on the tree branch. A Cat Brad is also standing near the mean looking tree. Ghost Brads are included in the Pop-Up and attached to the bigger paper ghost. Another Ghost Brad is located to the upper right of the tree. 

This is a super fun card to make and to give, especially with all the great Brads from Eyelet Outlet to take it to the next level!

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!

Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree

These lovely Christmas trees by Cricut Contributing Artist, Angela Zanin are beautiful on their own, but today I added some Eyelet Outlet bling in various colors and they stood out even more!

For the gold one, I used white pearls and I cut small circles out of Eyelet Outlet gold glitter washi tape for the glittering ornaments.

For the blue one I used blue and clear stick on gems as well as one of our 1.5" snowflake bling. 

This pretty red one features some red stick on gems as well as stars that I cut from gold glitter washi tape.  This particular tree didn't have gifts under it, so of course I added some Eyelet Outlet gift brads. 

I hope I've inspired you to get your bling out and see what you can glam up!
