Now here's a fun dig-through-your-stash challenge from us at Shopping Our Stash this week - use your oldest metal embellishments! For me that would definitely be eyelets - the last time I purchased any was at least 5-6 years ago, and I still have enough to last me until the apocalypse. Maybe not in every colour but just about! It's been so long since I used them that I had to dig through my drawer to find my eyelet setter (one of the cats has claimed that drawer as her resting spot while I craft...and usually before resting she has a paw through to see if there's anything she can pick up & drop on the floor).
Supplies: Cars & sentiment from Unity; burlap stamp from Market Street Stamps; Brushed Corduroy distress ink; papers from MME; eyelets
Super simple! The most time-consuming part of the card was finding the eyelet setter.
So what metal pieces do you have lingering in your stash? join in with the SOS crew:
Eyelet setter, as in hammer and setter? If so, I'm impressed! I used a Crop-A-Dile.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I never started hoarding eyelets, because, like brads, they would rarely get used. But I really like the placement of these on your fabulous card! Nice touch.... And I'm glad the cat allowed you to use your eyelet setter.
ReplyDeleteYeah...those darn eyelets!! :) I think I threw out many of those weird ones I never used! :)
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous on your card with the masculine theme and fun textures!! LOVE IT!
