Getting Older Is No Prob-Llama!


You can never have enough birthday cards so I make them to be at the ready when they're needed. Today's card was fun to do in part because it's a lot different than all the holiday cards I've done lately. I'm loving the citrus colors of orange, green, and yellow!

The green panel is 4" x 5 1/4". I cut two orange strips of paper at 1 1/2" each and place a strip of Cactus Washi Tape in the middle of each. I glued them at an angle and trimmed off the excess orange paper on each side. Then I cut the blue starburst and the yellow circle. I glued my blue llama on the circle and then put a Cocktail Brad on his back and three green Pearl Bling. I adhered the llama piece on to the green panel and then inserted Piñata Brads and Cactus Brads in the corners. I mounted the green panel on a slightly larger orange panel and put both on a white A2 card base. I wrapped a white and orange baker's twine around the folded edge of the card and tied a bow. Last, I stamped and cut the birthday sentiment strip and glued it to the top orange and washi tape strip.

Shopping List:
Cactus Washi Tape

This is a bright and fun card I will put in my stash for someone that I knows likes a southwestern theme or enjoys tropical drinks. This would be a perfect card for a get together around the pool when it's hot and toasty outside!

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!

Birthday Fiesta!


 It's fiesta time today and it's easy to celebrate with the new Piñata Brads. They combine perfectly with Cocktail Brads, Fresh Flowers Bright Brads, Lemonade and Fruit Brads, and Music Note Brads. Although I didn't use them, the Cactus Brads would work nicely with this grouping as well.

I made this by first stamping the sentiment and mouse. I also stamped the colorful banner. Then I used the brads to decorate and enhance the panel. It's a very colorful and happy way to celebrate someone's birthday.

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

Congrats - Made with Love and a Little Washi Tape


 I hear all the time that people don't know what to do with washi tape. I sympathize because I thought the same thing before I saw all the fantastic work from the Eyelet Outlet Design Team. Over time, I've really fallen in love with washi tape and from time to time, I like to make card that's almost nothing but washi. That brings me to today's card.

On this congratulatory card, I've used many different washi tapes! I enjoy mixing the different patterns while adding a little whimsy to it. Even the wood border is a wide washi tape that I put on a piece of cardstock before cutting it with a border maker. And of course, a little bling is absolutely necessary for any card from Eyelet Outlet! Here I used clear jewel strip bling to further accent the border and break up the vertical and horizontal lines of the washi tapes. See below for a list of all of them I used plus a couple Cocktail Brads for good measure! Take a look at your stash and make something similar or place an order to get tapes you think would go well together. I guarantee you'll enjoy it and maybe even surprise yourself!

Sweet Summer Time


 I am a HUGE fan of yellow. It makes me feel energized and it symbolizes fun and good times. I also love citrus and the new Lemonade & Fruit Brad set checks off all my boxes. In the set, you'll find slices of citrus and a pitcher full of lemon yumminess.

This is a mini-slimline card that features the new Lemonade & Fruit Brads and the Cocktail Brads. I mean a little lemony margarita can't be wrong right? Two strips of Sparkle Blue Glitter Washi Tape looks so great on the yellow and white heat embossed background. I just added two Cocktail Brads and another Pitcher and fruit slice to it. I used a ready made ephemera piece but also dressed that up with brads from the new set. Finally I added a few White Enamel Dots to finish it up with a crisp finish. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. I think I know just the friend that would love to get this as a surprise in the mail!

Ghosts!!

Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with a newly released Eyelet Outlet brad, the Ghost!  I had so much fun creating cards with these ghosts it was downright scary!  I'm excited to show you what I made.

First up, I made a Twist and Pop card so inside is where most of the action is.  I didn't want to neglect the front of the card, though, so I decided to combine the Halloween Dot, Halloween, and Chalk Board washi tapes to create a herringbone pattern.  It was a time-consuming project, but very relaxing, too, and I think it provides a perfect backdrop for my ghost and greeting.



The ghost, as well as the card base itself, are cut files available in the Silhouette store.  I created the greeting, layering the letters on the word, "boos".  There was just enough space for some Black Glitter Enamel Dots with two more for the ghost's eyes.

When you open it:



Since the brads made me think of ghost costumes made with sheets, this sentiment immediately came to mind.  Fortunately, Eyelet Outlet has both the Cocktail and Beer brads which paired up perfectly with the ghosts.

Next up, we have a shadow box card using the ghosts with the Bats, Owl, and Pumpkin brads.  The card base, as well as the greeting, are available from the Silhouette store.



Inside, I used a poem I found online.  I should have added another brad as an accent...a pumpkin would have provided a great splash of color.

I look forward to bringing you more holiday cards in the weeks that follow.  Stay tuned!

Dinner and Cocktails

It's Kim from Katydid Cards today!

It's been a while since I've worked with the Chicken Brads so I just had to make another card using them.  I call this card, "Dinner Invitation" and you can see why.  These two chickens have been invited to join their neighbor for dinner.  Here they are at the front door.



And here they are inside.  What's that on the menu??  Uh Oh!  I used the Cooking, Baking, and Mixer Brads as well as Brick, Color Wheel, and Flower Washi Tape. The door handles are Black Enamel Dots.

If you're interested in recreating this card you will find the card base, kitchen, and cleaver in the Silhouette store.    The chef is from My Favorite Thing's Recipe for Happiness.  The chalkboard is free clip art I imported into the Silhouette and typed what's on the menu...inspired by my DT Sister, Susan's, Wednesday meal postings.



Here's a closer look at the brads and washi.



Winner, winner chicken dinner!

No dinner would complete with cocktails, so I'm sharing another card adding the Rooster brad.  I showcased him in a shadowbox card.  Each layer uses a different digital paper from the Cocktail Party collection by JazzyPatterns.  I also used the Cocktail brads on either side of the greeting.



On the reverse of the card are my favorite chicken brads again!



I'll see you next week with another card...there's no shortage of ideas what with all the brads, bling and washi in the Eyelet Outlet store.

Chicken and Waffles

Hi there!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.

One of the new releases at Eyelet Outlet is the Chicken & Waffle Brads.  I'd never heard of this combination before...guess I'm living in the wrong part of the country to be aware of its popularity.  But the brads are sure popular with me!  Here's a card I made using just the waffles.



I used a card base I found in the Silhouette store and am very happy with the way it showcases the waffles and the fork from the Utensils Brads.  The greeting was created to compliment the waffles.  I filled the letters in the word WAFFLE with a waffle pattern.

The bottom of the card was embossed with a heart pattern...that open space definitely needed some additional interest and this embossing folder did the trick.

Inside, I decided to add a little syrup to the waffles.  The font is supposed to simulate snow, but I think it looks enough like syrup!



I didn't forget about the Chicken Brads!  Here's a redux of a picnic themed box card using those yummy chicken legs and more!



In addition to the chicken, I used the Silverware, Cocktail, and Dragonfly Brads.  In addition, I used the Hardwood and Blue Patterned Washi Tapes and large Jewel Bling as well as Pearl Bling (both colored with Copic markers).

The card base was made using a Summer Box Card cut file by SVGCuts.

It's Five O'Clock Somewhere!

That being the case, this is the perfect time to celebrate with a bit of a cocktail, in card form! Hi folks, it's Lauren here to remind you that Eyelet Outlet has many styles of adult beverage brads, from Beer to Champagne to Wine and Cocktails, there is something to suit every taste! I've made a few variations, because it's no fun to drink *alone* right?!


Lately I love to make altered rolodex cards, and I've been lucky enough to get into a fun swap group, which is helping to grow my collection. For this set of Cocktail Cards, I diecut the rolodex card shape from various bright patterned papers, added strips of Washi Tape and affixed my various Beverage Brads on little tags. For my sentiments, I printed most of the text in a typewriter font, then chose to highlight a word or two by spelling it out in letter stickers. I used neutral stickers in the same font as my bright colors, to create a sort of drop shadow effect, which made them show up even better!


For my first sentiment, "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" I wanted a party atmosphere, so I chose to combine a few different brad styles, including a mug from the Beer Brads set, a glass of white wine and a margarita from the Cocktails set, and some Colorful Sunglass Brads to add to the tropical vibe.


For "Why Limit Happy..." I used both the mug and one of the bottles from the Beer Brads, as well as an appropriately festive Emotion Brad. I've set off the sentiment with some Blue Dots tape and a Skinny Yellow tape.


On the "Cheers My Deers" card I used two champagne flutes from the Wedding Brads set, with some tiny gems snipped from a Fancy Long Bling strip, rising up from the glasses. I've drawn attention to the little tag by adding strips of bubbly-looking Pink Dots and Blue Dots washi.


To illustrate "When Life Gives You Lemons..." I used one of each shade of margarita from the Cocktail set, adorning one of them with a Beach Umbrella that is cleverly multitasking, lol.


I hope you'll be inspired to serve Eyelet Outlet Beverage Brads at your next papercrafting party! ♥

can be found here each Wednesday, 
and on her own blog the rest of the week!

Thirsty for Eyelet Outlet Drink Brads!

We're so excited that the new brads are available now at the Eyelet Outlet Store!

Today I'm showing you the new Beer Brads set.  Using my Cricut Maker, I decided to use a combination of print-then-cut as well as paper piecing on this barmaid image from Cricut's Autumn Creations cartridge.  I flattened all layers except the gold and white then went ahead and used some strategically placed pop dots on her blouse to make up for it!  LOL!  😉


Next up, since it's "Throw Back Thursday," I thought I'd do a recreation of this card I showed you a few months back that features "Joan" from Cricut Suburbia cartridge having an Eyelet Outlet Cocktail!  



Here's "Allen," also from Cricut Suburbia cartridge, out on the town with an Eyelet Outlet Beer Brad! 


Thanks for stopping in today and if you've worked up a thirst for Eyelet Outlet drink brads, you can find them at Eyelet Outlet.com in our "Food & Drink" section!
