Keeping It Cool for Father's Day

Father's Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the amazing dads in our lives. This year, I decided to whisk Dad away to a relaxing beach scene with a handmade card that's as fun as a day by the ocean!

To create this tranquil getaway, I stamped the perfect sandy beach, calm water, a comfy chair, a colorful umbrella, and graceful palm trees. It really set the stage for a day of relaxation!

No beach scene is complete without the perfect accessories, and that's where Eyelet Outlet brads come in! I decorated the card with a variety of fun shapes: a cheerful Sun Brad, red Star Brad, a charming Boat Brad, cool Sunglass Brad, laid-back Flip Flop Brads, and a handy Cooler Brad. These little details bring the whole scene to life.

The sentiment truly captures the relaxed vibe: "Happy Father's Day! May your cooler stay full and your feet stay sand-free (mostly)." It's a playful wish for a perfect day.

I hope this card inspires you to create your own personalized beachy tribute for Father's Day!

Shopping List:


I'll see you next week but until then please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating!

Perfectly Suited

For this card, I cut two angles out of card stock on my Cricut and then added strips of our red and black playing card washi tape to each of them. Using a few more Cricut images and print-then-cut, I added a center medallion to the card.


Then I added our brand new playing card suites on either side of the medallion and this is going to be a great anniversary card for a perfectly suited pair, don't you think?

Lucky Me!


Just when you think they can't be outdone, Eyelet Outlet ups their "game" with Card Suit Brads! There are so many card ideas that can incorporate these. 

For my first time out of the gate, I decided to create a large square card with an overhanging circle and a reference to lady luck. The cream image is a cut vinyl decal that I applied to black cardstock. Then I added the four Card Suit Brads, and decorated it further with clear and blue Stippled Jewel Brads and Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. It's a winner!

SHOPPING LIST:
Card Suit Brads
12mm Stippled Jewel Brads (blue and clear)
Gold Glitter Enamel Dots

I'll see you next week but until then please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Birthday, Happy Camper!

Have you seen the newest brads in the Eyelet Outlet store? You are going to love these sweet little camper brads as much as I do! 


For this card I used a digital paper in the Cricut pattern fill library. I've always loved this camper pattern, so when Eyelet Outlet rolled out these awesome camper brads, I knew right away this paper was going to be great. I also used an Eyelet Outlet summer tree brad behind the camper and a sunshine brad from our Sun and Cloud set. A touch of our amazing grass washi tape in the corner anchored the sentiment on this card.

Home Is Where You Park It!


I've been absolutely loving the latest brad release, especially since I come from a big camping family! You can imagine my excitement when I saw the Camper Brads were included – they're just perfect!

These brads are incredibly easy to work with. For this card, I created a serene beach background using ink and cardstock. To set the scene, I started with a cozy bonfire, adding the "fire" element from the Camping Brads set (not to be confused with the Camper Brads!). I also included Palm Tree Brads, a Seagull Brad, and even a Birthday Bubble Brad to complete the look.

If you or someone special in your life enjoys the great outdoors, you'll have so much fun finding creative ways to incorporate these new Camper Brads into your crafting. They add such a charming touch to any project!


I'll see you next week but until then please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating!

TUTU Kind

Eyelet Outlet is rolling out a few new brads and my favorite are the adorable hippos!  There's two styles in the set and I'm sure you're going to agree that the one dancing in a tutu is just TUTU CUTE!


I created a thank you card with the dancing hippo.  I added a couple of paper pieced tutus that I made on my Cricut and styled them on some Eyelet Outlet hanger brads. I also added a touch of pink pearl bling strips to the waist of each tutu. Center state is my dancing hippo and I added a few tiny pink heart brads on either side of her.

I know you're going to have as much fun with these darling hippo brads as I've had! Stay tuned in coming days for more inspiration for these hippos and the other new brads in the lineup.

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!
