Beer's To You


 Oh what fun this dragon was to create with a little bit of
St. Patrick's Day added too.The cute dragon is from Whimsy stamps and 
was colored in copics. Loved using the fun
sentiment from Eyelet Outlets Beer Set Stamps.

Eyelet Outlet always has a brad for everything and they did not
disappoint as I looked for beer-related brads. I think they
look great on the sides of this card, And, of course I love my
washi tape and even found some to decorate the bottom. I 
had just enought black pearl bling strips to add those to sides also.

Flower Child Corner Easel Card

Hello EO fans! Today I have a card that is ready for spring! I've used several EO products to make a flowery card that is perfect for spring. This fancy fold is called a Corner Easel Card. It's very simple to make and makes a nice presentation.

For this one I started by covering two white cardstock squares with Rose Washi Tape. In between the strips I applied the red skinny washi tape from the Skinny Holiday Washi Tape. I cut and placed a wreath and then decorated with Rose Brads and White Daisy Brads. I stamped and punched out a sentiment that says Flower Child. A bluebird brad and a red rose brad decorate it and acts as the stopper for the easel part of the card.

The flower and bird brads are very pretty and detailed. The roses look so natural, I half expect them to have a fragrance! The colors and shading are stunning!


Thanks for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating Everyone!

Cowgirl Love

 Happy Friday, friends!  Today, I am sharing a card that I had SO much fun creating!  I recently hosted a Mystery Craft Along with some of my favorite friends, and I taught them a variation on the Twisted Ribbon Technique.  I had so much fun with it, that I wanted to try it with washi tape rather than paper, and this time I used the traditional technique.

I love the Glitter Washi Tapes so much, so I decided to pair the Black and Hot Pink to create the Twisted Ribbon Panel.  I die-cut a black and pink banner and paired it with this adorable cowgirl that I colored with Copic markers.
I die-cut the sentiment from a die in my stash and adhered it to the card front.  To complete my card, I added a silver metallic bow to the hot pink paper flower, and then added one of the beautiful new Rose Brads.

I hope you love this card too!

Spring Birthday Card

There's a fabulous sale going on right now at Eyelet Outlet that you don't want to miss!  All the round jeweled and pearl brads are on sale for only 75 cents a package!  Here I've used some gorgeous green jeweled ones in the center of the Eyelet Outlet Paper Flowers for a pretty spring birthday card.


I applied some of this pretty flower washi tape to strips of white cardstock, then added a pink strip of cardstock to the back for a little offset. And check out these butterfly sequins!  There my new favorites in our amazing sequin collection!  I stitched them on the card with a needle and thread and since they're a little "bendy" I could bend the wings slightly to give my card even more dimension!

EGG-stravaganza!

 Do you know how many styles there are of Eyelet Outlet Pearl and Jewel Brads? Ok, as a matter of fact, I (Lauren) don't know either, but it's A LOT! They range from quite small (5.5mm) to extra large (16mm) though the biggest one shown here is the 10mm Soft Pink Pearl Brad attaching a few Paper Flowers on the medium sized egg. Meanwhile, many styles are available in both silver and gold bezels; there are smooth and bumpy styles; some have fancy edges... and by the time you factor in all of the different colors, there are literally hundreds of variations! But the most important thing for you to know about EO Pearl and Jewel Brads is that they are ALL on sale for just .75c a pack!!! The second most important thing for you to know is that they are all beautiful and useful. In this case, I've decorated Easter eggs with them:

As you can see, we also have quite a few styles of Sticky-Back Bling, as well. On this card and tag we see individual Pearls (there are Jewels as well), Bling and Pearl Strips, and several styles of Fancy Long Bling, and I've hardly scratched the surface of what is listed under "Bling and Sequins" in the EO Store. By the way, there are also FOUR styles of Eyelet Outlet Washi on this card: Bunny Tape, Chevron, Rainbow Dot Washi and my current fave: a wide, rainbow blossom-bedecked style called Flower Petal Tape, from which I have cut out individual flowers and added them with Pearl Brads to the largest egg. Of course they work for lots of other occasions besides Easter, so you should probably head over to the Eyelet Outlet Shop and browse around for a bit!

is already dreaming up more ways to use classic Pearl and Jewel Brads!

May You Weather The Storm

 We all know friends or family that are going through difficult times. Sending a note of encouragement is a great way to let them know you are thinking about them!

In creating this card, I started with a 6x6 base and created stripes using the "vintage desktop" washi tape and patterned papers. I stamped my sentiment and layered on cardstock adding a compass stamped image. Lastly, I embellished with the adorable and new cruise brads. I hope you enjoy and are inspired to send a note of cheer to encourage someone today!

What's Shakin Bacon

 


This is an easel card I created for a cute Valentine card.
 The pig image is from Pink Ink Designs
 and the sentiment from Eyelet Outlet's
stamp set Animal Stamps.

Lots of embellishments used for this card and all
from Eyelet Outlet. First, you have to love those darling pig brads!
And, I can always find a reason to use washi tape especially one that 
glitters like this one. I also decided to include more bling by using
a black bling strip on each side of the washi tape.

Life Can Be Prickly!

 Hi friends!  Have you ever needed an encouragement card and just didn't know what to do?  That was me, until I saw the "coming soon" Cactus Brads!  I knew that I had the perfect stamp set to pair them with. 

I colored the Prickley Pear Cactus Image with Copic markers, die-cut it and set it aside. 
I used the amazing Copper Glitter Washi to cover the edges of a cardstock panel.  You'd never know it, but I just grabbed the first piece of card stock I could find.  It's yellow (haha), but since the washi covers it, it doesn't show.
I layered a piece of digital paper with the washi panel and adhered them to my card base.  I added my focal image to the front of the card.  I embossed the sentiment on a strip of cardstock and added a couple of Cactus Brads before adhering it to the front of the card.  To complete the card, I created a bow and using my glue gun, I glued one of the brads to the center and then to the front of the card. 

I love how this came together!  The brads and the stamp set paired beautifully!

New Cactus Brads!

We're always so excited to introduce you to new products at Eyelet Outlet and we know you're going to love the new cactus brads!


There are a couple of different types of cacti in the package and I was especially glad to see these beautiful prickly pear cactus.  It just so happens that my craft room window here in Texas looks out to a pasture that has quite a few prickly pear and I always love it when their pretty yellow blooms begin.to show up. I added a sun brad as well as some enamel hearts and dots to my card, too.

Check out all the newly released brads at Eyelet Outlet!

Pearl & Jewel Brad Sale Continues - and an Easter Card Idea

 

Eyelet Outlet probably has the largest and biggest variety of pearl and jewel brads at their store. It's been a staple for years. To celebrate, they are doing a 75% off sale on them which brings the pack price down to .75 cents for a limited time!

My card is inspired by those that use broken and old jewelry to make pretty framed pictures, usually on a velvet background. In this case, I added many colors and styles of brads to a paper egg shape to create a bejeweled egg. I love how it turned out! This could also be mounted in a small shadowbox frame as a decor item. In addition to the fabulous brads, I added two Pastel Rabbit Brads. These are great for Easter. They remind me of candy.

Check out the amazing selection of pearl and jewel brads available at the store.

Happy Trails To You!

Who is ready for a little R&R? Perhaps in a warmer and sunnier climate?
This "Cactus Cowboy" sure is!

 I was so excited to see a new product coming this month! I couldn't wait to play with this adorable set of cactus brads! I immediately thought how fun it would be to create a "Happy Trails" card! After stamping, coloring, and fussy cutting out the cowboy, I went to work on my background. I used alcohol inks and makeup brushes to create a sky effect. I used the grass washi for the bottom and stamped and fussy cut a few small cacti. I then added my sentiment and added a some bling with the champagne swirl to the "Happy Trails". I used foam adhesive to apply the cowboy and embellished with the "new and coming soon" cactus brads! I hope you enjoy!

Adventure Awaits

 

 Looks like vacation time is around the corner although I think
just about everyone I know is scheduled for a cruise soon.
I love these cruise ship brads and the red/white life preserver brads.
These are new to the Eyelet Outlet line sometime this month.

You could use these brads for all sorts of cards.
How about"cruisin by to say hi."  Here I used them for a travel card.
Used a sticker at the top and attached the lifer preserver brad. I really
went to town to embellish the bottom with a scalloped border, 
life preservers and the Blue bumpy jewels from Eyelet Outlet.

I'm Here for you



Sometimes we need a card to remind someone that they matter and they care. That's what today's card is all about. I've used lots of Eyelet Outlet goodies on this one.

I've made a nautical scene featuring many of the sea and beach related brad sets carried by Eyelet Outlet. The focus of the card are the new Cruise Brads which will be available in the store soon. This set includes the red and white life rings and the cruise ships. They worked great on my nautical themed paper and portal. It was lots of fun to collage all the fun brads and a little bling together to create this scene.

HBD! Happy Birthday!

Happy Friday, crafty friends!  I am still working on building my stash of birthday cards, and it is so fun and easy to do using brads, as there are endless possibilities!  

I have so many dog lovers in my life, so I made a card for one of them.  I started by wrapping a strip of white card stock with Dog Washi Tape.  I trimmed the front of my card base down and adhered the washi panel to the inside of the card base.  This allows the dogs to show on the front of the card when it is closed, and on the inside panel.

I wrapped another panel of white card stock with the washi tape and I die-cut the letters "h, b, d, and !" from that panel.  I adhered the HBD diagonally to a wood-grain kraft panel.   I embellished the panel with several of the Puppy Brads and Kennel Mix Brads before adhering to the card front.

I hope you are inspired to create something today!  This card was really a lot of fun to make!

Altered Paper Clips

I've got a new craft to show you today.  Well, it's new to me.  Altered paper clips have been showing up on Pinterest for a while now, but I recently gave them a try and I'm hooked on them! I've made mine out of felt and cut with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade. I had all kinds of fun embellishing them with brads from Eyelet Outlet.  

Check out the gorgeous new rose brads! There are red, pink and these pink and white variegated ones I've used today. I paired them with a leaf brad and a mini bee brad.  


These make great bookmarks or accessories for planners and journals.  I also created this cute little card to attach them to for gift giving.  I added some skinny green washi tape to the top and I added a heart brad to the white one.


I added some slits in the card for them to slide in to.  Here's what the backs look like.


Ideas for these keep coming thanks to all the amazing brads available at Eyelet Outlet so I think you'll be seeing me share a few more of these in the future!  Thanks for being here today and be sure to watch Eyelet Outlet for new releases any day now!

Make a Wish

 If you wished for some brand new Eyelet Outlet Brads in the next couple of weeks, then you're in luck because we have some beauties coming out, including these gorgeous Rose Brads!


Rose Brads would be a beautiful addition to just about any card, tag or journal page; they'd be lovely in a vase, climbing up a fence or pretty much ANYWHERE you'd care to place them, but I (Lauren) have to say that I'm pretty pleased with how they look on top of a birthday cake! I've also used four gorgeous Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape Styles: Pink CheckedGreen Pattern Tape, Wood Washi and Heart Tape from our Valentine Washi Set; and framed up this sweet little tableau with some Green Pearl Strips and added a Candle Brad to boot. 


Stay tuned to the Eyelet Outlet Blog to see how our amazing Design Team are using all of the fabulous new brads, coming mid-month to the Eyelet Outlet Store!

hopes she ROSE to the occasion when making this card!

I'd Pick You Valentine!!

 If friends were flowers... I'd pick you!

I have really enjoyed playing with all the fun Valentine accessories that Eyelet Outlet offers! For this card, I used the "Happy Valentine's Day" washi tape to create my striped background. I then stamped my image and layered on another piece of cardstock that I bordered with the purple glitter washi. After coloring my image with alcohol inks, I embellished by adding various enamel hearts and heart brads. Lastly, I layered my card on red cardstock! I hope you enjoy! Making Valentine's is a favorite of mine!

Let's Stick Together


 This card is made with some of the new brads
 Eyelet Outlet is releasing this month. I thought the
cactus were adorable so had to use them along with some 
gems and enamel dots from Eyelet Outlet.

I punched an oval so I could highlight a patch
of the cactus. They come in a package with both plain
and flowered cactus brads. Lots of clever
sentiments could be used with these brads. 

Finally I had to use some gems. The strip gems are in the
 champagne color and the others are
 large enamel dots and bling jewels.

Be on the lookout for more examples of the new brads
from the design team. I am sure you
will find something you love.

Llama Love!


 I am totally "hooked" on the new Cactus Brads coming to the store soon! I am lucky enough to get some before they're released and I sure had fun with them. There are two styles - one with flowers and one without. There are two flower colors as well. 


Here, I made a whole cactus garden with Sky Washi - Wide as the backdrop and a bright sun from the Sun & Cloud Brad Set. A ring of Champagne Strip Bling was used around the garden portal. Also used in this card is some beautiful Cactus Washi Tape. I love the vibrant colors in it! The pinks and greens are great for a spring card. The llama scene was made with stickers but I added a green Enamel Heart and a Cloud brad. For a final touch, I used strips of Wood Washi Tape at the top for a mat.
