Now let's see how fun these Eyelet Squares can be for creating some Holiday magic!
Can you find the Eyelet Square on this card?
It makes a great edge around my poinsettia center from JustRite Hearts Come Home set. The poinsettia is stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo and colored with Copic markers (see photo below for colors). I stamped a 2nd poinsettia and cut out some of the petals to add to the base poinsettia for dimension. I added a touch of glitter with Spica markers. I cut out the poinsettia image with S4-128 Classic Squares SM #3. The red mat is cut with S4-126 Classic Squares LG #3. I layered them over a white Eyelet Squares #2. I've tucked the corners under the circle verse, JustRite Christmas Treasures. I stamped the verse with Ranger Bottle ink and clear embossed it. I cut it out with S4-114 Standard Circles LG #4 and #6. The red circle was cut with S4-116 Standard Circles SM # 4 and #7. I added 2 shiny red brads between the verse sections. The stamp had a star there that I masked so not to stamp it.
I cut LF-190 Grand Labels Four #5 out of Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante and Worldwin Red Cardinal papers for the background. I staggered the paper layers to show the red border.
The white card is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8" with a red mat tucked inside to show on 3 edges. The card is a touch smaller than A2 so the verse circle can extend beyond the top of the card and still fit in an A2 envelope.
Before I even finished the card, I had an idea for a gift bag! Using the same papers and die templates, I made this bag topper.
It's the same on both sides except for the bow. There's a slot at the top to just slip over the handles and hang on the top of the bag. Easily reuseable! I used the biggest Grand Labels Four for the base. The verse and circles are the same as the card. I left the center open and tucked an Eyelet Squares #3 under the Labels Four point. It fits so well! I love how it looks! I added a shiny red brad from Creative Impressions and tied on a jingle bell with baker's cord. I added some baker's cord and a jingle bell to the big red bow which is permanently attached. I found the bag at a Dollar Tree store, 2/$1.00!
