Getting Older Is No Prob-Llama!
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.

Cheers!
Wishing you a very Happy New Year with hopes that 2025 will be your happiest and most creative year yet! It seems appropriate to start the year with a toast... and Eyelet Outlet definitely has a fine selection of beverage brads, including, from left to right: Lemonade, Beer Brads, Cocktails, Liquor Brads, champagne flutes from the Wedding Set and Wine Brads. With Party Hats and Balloon Brads to decorate the numeral balloons, each diecut from a different shade of Glitter Tape. All on a background of extra wide Calendar Washi.
And don't forget the Tea, Coffee and Soda Brads for those who prefer their beverages a little softer. All of these and lots (LOTS!) more in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store!

Ghosts!!
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.
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 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
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.

Thirsty for Eyelet Outlet Drink Brads!
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! 😉
