Easter Egg and Chicks

 

This is a colorful Easter egg that I die cut and then used

pastel brads from Eyelet Outlet for the center of the 

flowers.  I have been waiting to use the cute yellow chick

brads that come in two shapes to accent this egg.

I think they are adorable.

Of course, I love the washi tape from Eyelet Outlet and 

frequently use it as borders on my cards. I finished off the card

with some blue strip jewels. Be sure to check out the shopping

list (below) of the Eyelet Outlet items used in this project.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Today I'm bringing you a couple of sweet rosette angels I created in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

One  angel is beautifully embellished with Eyelet Outlet Fancy Pearl and Jewel Bling and the other with Pink Jewel Strips.  

The white rosettes at the top were embellished with Eyelet Outlet Silver Glitter Washi Tape. I applied the embellishments to the rosettes before fan folding them.  

And finally,  attached to each angel's sign is an Eyelet Outlet Pink Ribbon Quicklet. Text on the signs is available in the Cricut image library.  The faces on the angels are digital stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps.  

Thanks for stopping in today! If you're in the Ontario, Canada area, stop by and see us in person at the Scrapbook Expo this weekend!

Be a Pop of Color!

Eyelet Outlet has so many amazing shaped brads!  There are all sorts of birds and animals, flowers and trees, shoes and clothing!  You name it and we've got a brad for that!  Sometimes, though, I forget about the simple round ones, so today I'm bringing you a project using them.

Eyelet Outlet has round brads in every color, shape and size!  There are jeweled ones and pearl ones, too!  There are even some available in bulk!  Today I used some from the 1/8" Spring Brad Mix   and some from the 1/8" Summer Brad Mix to create this painter's pallet.  I used black and white skinny washi tape on 3 sides of my card, but then I decided to be daring and use this multi-colored stripe washi on the remaining side!  

Be sure to throw a couple of packages of Eyelet Outlet Round Brads in your cart before you check out!  When you use them, post a pic on Instagram and be sure to tag us!

Many Multi-Layer Mandalas

Hi folks, it's Lauren here again! I was lucky enough to receive some incredibly cool layered mandala dies for my birthday, from my friend and fellow Eyelet Outlet designer Stephanie Severin, and of course my first thought was: how cool they would look when paired with Eyelet Outlet brads, washi tape and paper flowers! Here are a couple of cards that I think prove my point, lol:

My first idea was to cut each layer of the mandala in a different color, and reassemble them all using classic small 1/8" Round Brads and teeny 1/16" Round Brads as accents. Luckily both varieties come in loads of beautiful colors, so I had plenty of choice. As I was stacking up the embellished layers, I noticed that the smallest and largest of my Purple Paper Flowers were the perfect size to be incorporated into the design, and they added even more color and texture! When I was assembling the finished card, I realized that the one thing that was missing was *SPARKLE* so I added a border of Skinny Glitter Washi Tape to the mat under my mandala, and it was the perfect accent!

My second card was inspired by the leftover mandala layers, and how much I loved mixing them with the Paper Flowers. I started stacking them in different combinations, and instead of using the center from the die, I grabbed these fun Daisy Flower Brads, which are rather mandala-like, don't you think? I added Champagne Swirl Bling (though there were actually quite a few colors which looked equally cool!) and some Foil Dots Tape and called it good.

I hope you'll be inspired to look at your dies --and your EO Brads!-- and see lots of new possibilities. Meanwhile, there are always loads of ideas here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog. Why not scroll down and see what my Wednesday partner Carri is up to today? ♥

Quick Trio of Cards w/ Video Tutorial

I got into card making mode and this time I used one sketch to create 3 cards in different colors.  Come take a look!!

I just got the new resins bows from Eyelet Outlet and I had to make something with them, so take a look at my process video!!

Here is a look at each card up close.

Instead of placing a sentiment outside the card, I placed it inside using the Rubbernecker Stamps.

I matched the colors of the resin bows (Flatback Bows) with the flowers (Cupcake and solid color in Teal and Yellow), brads (1/8 Spring Mix), and enamel stickers (Dots Hearts) to give 2 colors per card.

Thanks for taking a look!!
