Hooray Floral Card
Hello everyone! Janet here with a fresh flower card that would be fitting for a birthday, a celebration, congratulations, or a note of thanks. The center mat was created with glitter paste and a stencil. Once dry, I cut it and a matching frame with a nested set of decorative frame dies. I added EO brads including Stitched Flowers, Butterflies, Sun and Cloud, and Ladybug. To ground it a little and add more bling, I added large Pearl Brads. The mix of printed flowers, clouds, and bees with the dimensional EO brads really makes this a pretty scene.

Happy BEER-THDAY!
If you struggle with "guy cards," don't worry! Eyelet Outlet has you covered with lots of inspiration and brads your guys will love..
Today lets "belly up to the bar" with our popular beer brads. I created a really fun birthday (or BEERTHDAY) card for my favorite guy in the world. There's bottled or frosty mugs in this brad set.
The bearded fellow on my card is a graphic from PaintPixelCo on Etsy. He's from a wonderful set called "Funny Old Men."
I used a strip of solid black washi tape to create my bar. Eyelet Outlet has the most amazing washi tape selection anywhere around and so many gorgeous patterned ones, but you'd be surprised how frequently I reach for a solid washi tape, so be sure to put a few colors in your cart before you check out!

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!

Furry Friend Halloween Card
I'm a grandma to 4 kiddos as well as a few granddogs. I typically remember them at Christmas with a toy or treat, but today I decided the granddogs needed a Halloween treat, as well.

Unsuccessful Chameleon?
Eyelet Outlet Reptile Brads feature both chameleons and geckos, and it would be a shame if one COULDN'T see them, since they're very handsome indeed. This chameleon is proud to be the star of a "Dad Joke" style card; he's joined by a Tall Palm Brad, and backed up with Grass Tape, Wood Washi and Wide Cactus and Flamingo Tape.

Grateful Forest
Hi everyone and welcome to our Sunday blog post here at Eyelet Outlet! I'm always on the lookout for dies, card kits and designs that allow me to show off EO brads, bling, and flowers. Today I have a shadow box card that I made using dies and patterned paper from Crafter's Companion. When I saw the woods die, I knew I would just have to put EO's Sketch Owls in the scene. I used another owl as the center of my twine bow. I added Leaf Brads and placed them to look like they are falling in the forest. To get that look, I inserted the brad portion through already created holes in the tree trunks made by the die. It couldn't have been easier! I created the large mushrooms with dies to frame this scene. They were calling me to snuggle in a couple of the Girl Gnome brads so I listened. How cute!
I encourage you to take a look at your collection of dies and stamps and think about what EO products you have or would like to get that would make your good projects even better. They will elevate your projects every time and make them stand out!

Snowy Christmas
Hi EO fans! Happy September 1st! Hard to believe we are now officially in the beginning of all isn't it? Today, I'm back with another holiday card. I just can't help myself because I'm so enamored with the new Angel Brads! For this card I've made a snow globe scene with one of the angels hovering above a church scene. Also in the globe are Deer and Tree-Retro Brads. I also added White Snowflake Bling. In the rest of the card, I covered the "ground" with Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape. I made a bow and cut out the sentiment and attached them both to the card. Then I embellished with another Angel Brad and two Bell Brads.
Have you started your holiday card making yet? I send about 50 of them each year so I have to start early or I won't have them done in time. So - one more to get me to my goal made easy with Eyelet Outlet products.
Angel Brads
Thanks for joining me here today. Please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Bloom!
Eyelet Outlet Flower Brads are ALWAYS a good idea for adding color and charm to a card, plus they pair really well with stamped or diecut vases, jars and planters! Here we have a vase full of Rose Brads and one of White Daisy Brads which have attracted the attention of a Mini Bee Brad. The background is Wide Sky Washi; the sentiment is diecut from Grass Tape; and the base of the planter is a single strip of Wood Tape. A scatter of white Round Sequins completes the design.
Visit the Eyelet Outlet Online Store to see ALL of the amazing brads, washi tape, bling, sequins, enamels and more!
