Autumn Blessings

 The popular Eyelet Outlet leaf brads are a must-have for your autumn projects! Today I started with a darling water color image from Nook Craft Art's Etsy shop. The children jumping in the leaves brought back vivid childhood memories!

I embellished the card with the mini version of the leaf brads as well as a few of the standard size ones. I also leaned a little rake brad up against the tree.  

Wishing all of you Autumn blessings and be sure to check add some leaf brads to your cart before you check out at Eyelet Outlet!

Candy Corn: A Celebration

For those who love the idea of candy corn more than the taste, help yourself to some Eyelet Outlet Candy Corn Brads! Same iconic look as real candy corn, won't attract ants, and attach easily to any Halloween card, treat bag or journal page! Here they're strung across the top of the journal card as bunting, above some super-spooky Small Eye Brads and surrounded by a background of gorgeous Ghost Tape.

Hey Chickie!

It's still fall and the cooler days remind me that on the farm, the season brings the harvest of the bounty. This card features a farmland scene with a rooster and his hens, a goat and a cow. A farmer is busy in the fields and it's a sunny day with light clouds. 

This card was easy to make with hills made of gold and green cardstock and a stencil and inks to make a sky. All the brads are of course from Eyelet Outlet.

Rooster Brads

Chicken Brads

Cow & Goat Brads

Tractor Brads

Sun & Cloud Brads

Thankful for Your Friendship

 This is a great time of year to remember what you are thankful for, especially as the year begins to draw to a close. This week's card is simple but it packs a punch in its color and basic shapes.

This card relies on color and texture for it's impact. The Thankful word is accented with all the things that remind us of fall. Sunflowers, a pumpkin, fall leaves and a scarecrow all give the fall vibes. Also used for some additional shine is skinny metallic stripe washi tape. 

The word is made with a clever stencil that allows you to overlap the letters. I placed it on metallic bronze paper with cardstock scallop borders. Let's face it though, it's the EO brads that really make this card special.

Stop by the store and pick up your fall brads before the season is over!

Light of the World Bookmark

I've been playing around lately making small bite-sized watercolor pieces. This bookmark with flowers and vines made a perfect setting for Eyelet Outlet Mini Butterflies and purple Glitter Enamels. The background is made with beautiful floral washi tape. The mini brads and enamels have a low profile and are good embellishments for something that needs to be relatively flat like a bookmark. I love the message on this one and look forward to giving it to a friend in their upcoming Christmas package!

Trick or Treat

It's almost time to Trick or Treat and these adorable critters are ready to go! Any set of adorable characters can be dressed up for Halloween, Christmas or a birthday party with a few Eyelet Outlet brad styles. The mummy bear has donned a Mustache Brad; the unicorn kitty is sporting a Tiara and Eye Glass Brads; the dashing dachshund has his Top Hat on and has invited a Long Dog friend to accompany him. Some Black Cat Brads obviously wanted to join the party and it would hardly be a spooky occasion without Bat and Pumpkin Brads. Thee handsome Frog Brad is wearing a Witch's Hat... or possibly... a powerful witch has been temporarily turned into a frog? Either way, this Boo Crew is definitely going to collect lots of candy and maybe win some prizes at the costume party! A mat of Spider Washi Tape is the perfect finishing touch to any creepy, kooky card.

Crown and Tiar Brads

Eye Glass Brads

Christmas Peace

In the middle of creating fall themed cards, I decided take a quick detour to make my first Christmas card of the season. Eyelet Outlet has so many holiday themed brads to choose from. Today I used some of my favorites!

This card was created with a card kit. I put it together and then added lots of brads and bling to make it pop. First, I used 8 mm Cut Bling in Red. I also added red Jewel Bling in a two sizes. But the stars of the card are the female and male cardinals sitting atop of an ornament. I also added a Red Cut Bling on the jute bow, two Holly Brads, and a Poinsettia Brad.
