Sizzling Thanks! A BBQ Host Card Made Easy!

It's officially grilling season, and I'm loving it! To thank the awesome hosts of an upcoming BBQ, I whipped up this fun and easy card. The secret to the effortless design? The brilliant Beer Washi Tape, which I used to create a fantastic border!

On top of that, I added a perfectly themed BBQ cardstock. To capture the essence of a summer cookout, I added three simple words that say it all. And the best part? The adorable BBQ Brads featuring little aprons and grills! To complete the celebratory vibe, I included a couple of bottles from the Beer Brads set.

This card came together so quickly and easily, making it the perfect way to show your appreciation to any BBQ host!

The Grillfather

It's time to begin our Father's Day projects and Eyelet Outlet has you covered! I often hear crafters express difficulty coming up with ideas for masculine cards and tags, but one browse through our website and inspiration will abound, I promise. And quite often when you click on one of our products you'll find inspiration projects, too.


When I saw the "Grillfather" image in Cricut Design Space recently, I knew right away I had to have some fun with it. For this tag, I used a bit of our amazing grass washi tape, a summer tree brad, the cooler brad and a grill brad. The cute man is also a Cricut image and I used print then cut for him and pop dots to give the tag even more dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today and we would love to see how you're using Eyelet Outlet products in your Father's Day projects. Please share on our Eyelet Outlet's Fans Facebook group!

Happy Mother's Day to All the Amazing Moms! ❤️


Happy Mother's Day, everyone! I hope all the wonderful moms are being showered with love and attention today – you deserve it all!

To celebrate, I wanted to create a card with a bit of fun and a whole lot of heart. Imagine a little gathering on a brick wall (thanks to the fantastic Brick Washi Tape!), all set against a sunny Wide Sky Washi Tape background.

Above this adorable scene, little word bubbles of thanks float in the air – stamped and carefully cut out. And right there on the wall, a festive Mother's Day Banner proudly proclaims the occasion.

But the real magic comes from the five little critters lined up on the wall, each one a tiny messenger of love for Mom! The Polar Bear, Feline, Chicken, Acorn & Squirrel, and Rabbit Brads each have their own charm. To top it all off, I added two Sticky Back Pink Heart Pearls to the banner for an extra touch of sweetness.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms! May your day be filled with joy and love.

Good Donut

Memes often provide great inspiration for my cardmaking. Such is the case with today's project. These darling ladies are Cricut images.


This fun interactive card base is called a Hide & Seek card. There's a little mechanism involved that causes the sentiment you see on the front to disappear as the card opens.


When the card is fully open the mechanism then reveals another message at the bottom of the card. I embellished the inside of my card with a couple of donut brads and an enamel heart from Eyelet Outlet.

Here's a video of the card in action.


If you are also a Cricut crafter, I've shared the file for this card (and several other versions of Hide & Seek cards) with the Cricut Community on my Cricut Profile.

Roses in Bloom

 There are few Spring sights prettier than roses, in full bloom, climbing up a trellis. If they're Eyelet Outlet Rose Brads and Yellow Rose Brads, climbing up a cardstock trellis, they are every bit as beautiful, far more mail-able, and completely non-allergenic! With extra wide Sky Washi and Brick Tape creating the background and green Leaf Brads clustered among the blooms, it's no wonder that some Mini Butterfly Brads have gathered to enjoy the scene.


Bloomin' Beautiful Shopping List:

There's flora and fauna galore in the Eyelet Outlet Store; and don't forget to check the Tradeshow Schedule to see when the EO Booth will be traveling to a town near you!

especially loves that Rose Brads do NOT aggravate allergy symptoms!

Celebrate Dad by the Seashore!


Father's Day is not too far away, and what better way to show Dad some love than with a handmade card? Today, I'm sharing a card inspired by the calming beauty of the coast, perfect for the father who enjoys the sea.

The focal point of this card is a serene lighthouse scene, beautifully framed with the dazzling Sparkle Blue Glitter Washi Tape. This tape adds just the right touch of shimmer and evokes the feeling of sunlight on the water.

To spell out how much he's appreciated, I also used the same Sparkle Blue Glitter Washi Tape to die-cut the letters "DAD." These stand out wonderfully against the background.

Adding dimensional details that Dad is sure to love are the charming Seagull and Seashore Brads. These little coastal elements bring the scene to life and add a tactile touch to the card.

This card is a simple yet heartfelt way to celebrate Dad and his special day. I hope it inspires you to get crafty and create something meaningful for the father figures in your life!

Ruff Time

A friend has been going through a rough season and I wanted to cheer her up with a happy looking card. This little dog was just the ticket. I used a mini action wobble on his head (available on Amazon). His head wobbles and he's so adorable!


I added a dish and bone from the Eyelet Outlet Kennel Mix brad set. I also included one of our pretty daisy brads for a little more cheer. Here's the inside of the card.
