Sky's the limit!!

I love the variety of brads that Eyelet Outlet has to offer.

Esp for those hard to craft for men and boys!

This weekend my neighbor was awarded the Eagle Rank in BSA.

I grabbed a package of Eagle Brads and some red/white/blue and gold washi tape to create this

congratulatory card.

To create the glittery "HAPPY," I laid Gold Glitter Washi Tape onto a piece of card stock.

Then I ran it through with a die to create the word.

Thanks for soaring by today!

#friendsaregreat

Eyelet Outlet has such great embellishments!

All you need is a good sentiment ...

and the embellishments will make the card sing!

I used #bff from The Project Bin as the focal point of this badge!

If you have friends, you are going to want this set in your stamp pile when you are designing cards and pages for your friends.

Eyelet Outlet Supplies:

Washi Tape

Bling strips

Heart shaped bumpy bling

This ribbon is made out of washi tape!

Punch out a circle to use as your base..and then start wrapping the washi around it using an accordian fold. Embellish the center to hide the unsightly seams.

Even the star tails were make from washi tape on white card stock.

With so many styles available from the Eyelet Outlet, you

are sure to find some that fit your color and style!!

Thanks for checking us out today!

For a Crafty Friend...

A few months ago, Pretty Cute Stamps came out with some wonderful craft sets.

When I saw Knit Happens and Sew Amazing, I knew I had to get both of them for cards and pocket letters for my craftiest of friends!

Time flies when summer is around...

but this week, I created this pocket letter show casing hobbies for one of the most crafties ladies I know! She exels at yarn crafts, sewing, paper crafting...

If you haven't discovered Pocket Letters, here is the 411.

You fill up a baseball card sleeve with 9 amazing ATCs.

They can have a theme based on color or subject matter...

be simple random.

Behind each ATC, tuck in some flat goodies, extra die cuts, self adhesive bling, bandaids, ribbon, washi samples, twine, etc. Basically, shop your stash and then spoil your pal!

Remember to add a hand written letter to your pal in one of those pockets too.

This was such fun to make...

and I think she is going to enjoy this pocket letter.

Now, the question is, will see see this on the blogs or FB...

will see know it is for her...

will it be a surprise when it arrives in the mail box later this week?

Time will tell!

For more ideas and treats,

check out the Pretty Cute Stamps Company blog!

Thanks for taking time away from your Labor Day festivities!

Now, go eat some BBQ, suck on a popcicle, splash in the pool...

summer is winding down!!

Are you blinged out and sparkley? Then, you are going to want to be sure to have plenty of bling strips and bling sheets from the Eyelet Outlet on hand for last minute cards. Here I created a tree using bling...and a few sequins and Glue Dots ®.

Or...

Is your Christmas style more country, shabby chic?

Use Holiday Tree and Moose brads to wish others a Merry Christmas. Washi Tape and bling strip in red are nice accents along with the metal rimmed tag.
