Squeeze The Day

I knew I wanted to make a lemonade themed card, but I couldn't decide between a pitcher of lemonade or some glasses, so I made both.

Using my Cricut, I sliced an openings in each card for the pitcher and also for the glasses. I added some acetate to the back to create a window. I added the Eyelet Outlet lemon slice brads to the bottom layer and then used foam tape to adhere the window layer. This created lots of dimension to the card. On the card with the glasses I also added the pitcher of lemonade that is included in this brad set. There's lime and orange slices in this set, too!

Stop by the Eyelet Outlet store today and put some of these refreshing lemonade and fruit brads in your cart! There's a lot of possibilities with this set, in fact, I'm thinking of another idea as I write this! Don't forget to add some enamel hearts to your cart, too! 

 

Cheers!

Squeeze the Day!

When life gives you lemons, you're supposed to make lemonade. That's how the old saying goes, right? Well, I have another one for you. When you or someone you love is struggling with something, never give up and just SQUEEZE THE DAY.

 

This cheery, lemon themed card will remind the recipient to do just that.

 

I created the large lemons by sticking black outline stickers on top of white glitter paper and then colored them in with alcohol ink markers.

 

In the center of the cut lemon is an Amber Jewel Brad.

 

The outside corners are embellished with Purple Bumpy Bling.

The best part about this card is the three cute  Lemonade and Fruit Brads in the middle which are surrounded by Orange Jewel Bling. These brads really bring this whole card together.

 

So, when you are looking to make a card for encouragement don't forget to check Eyelet outlet and all the huge variety of brads and bling available to help get you inspired.

A Zesty Birthday!

 

I'm a fan of citrus used on a card so I was thrilled when Eyelet Outlet released their Lemonade and Fruit Slices brads last year. It has a lemonade pitcher and wedges of oranges, lemons, and limes. Recently I came across a stamp set that featured an orange so I had to purchase it knowing it would be perfect for several EO brads. 

To make this A2 card, I started by inking and blending the orange background on watercolor paper. Once dry, I cut it out with a die. I stamped and colored the balloons and orange. I also stamped the sentiment on the bottom and cut out the Happy Birthday words in pearlized white cardstock. I added two bright Balloon Brads to the balloon cluster and added the glasses, hat brads and pearl bling to the orange. I used orange and green chalk on the orange as well. The I put all the pieces on the card and added the Orange wedges from the Lemonade and Fruit Brad set. Finally I added the orange Jewel Strip Bling. The result is a card that is good for the young or old, female or male and it makes me smile. It's perfect as an add to my stash for future use.

Orange You Glad We're Friends?

 I love creating cards that use puns and plays on words!  These are especially fun for Valentine cards and I have one for you today that features the orange slices from our new Lemonade and Fruit brad set.

I welded a few basic shapes together in Cricut Design Space to create the card base and added an offset.  The smiley oranges are also Cricut images.  I added the orange slices and also some heart brads to the card to finish it off.

Recipe Scrapbooking

 Happy New Year, Eyelet Outlet fans!  Now that the holidays are behind us and the wrapping paper and Christmas crafting supplies are put away, I thought I'd spend a little time working on one of my favorite crafting passions - scrapbooking my recipes.  

I first discovered Eyelet Outlet back in 2009 when I was creating my first recipe scrapbook.  Their awesome cooking/food/drink brads have embellished many of my pages through the years, but today I've used some fun brads from the most recent release.  The new pinata brads, beautiful cactus brads, lime wedges from the Lemonade and Fruit brad set and a few cocktail brads to add some fun interest to my Mexican Lasagna recipe pages.

If any of you enjoy scrapbooking recipes and have used Eyelet Outlet products on your pages, we love for you to share your project with us on our Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook Group!  

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.

Have a juicy fun day!

 Summertime brings to mind lemonade and citrusy drinks!

This citrus card could be for encouragement or birthday! It is very versatile! I loved adding the new lemon and fruit brads! One of my favorite ways to use the paper flowers is to layer them! For this card, I layered white and yellow paper flowers with a yellow brad from the summer mix! I hope you enjoy!

Rum & Cola

Have you seen the new brads from Eyelet Outlet?   Today I've used one of the new Eyelet Outlet soda brads and also a lime wedge from the new fruit brad set to create a fun little love note.

The rum bottle is a Cricut image that I modified a bit.  Rum & Cola is such a popular drink here in Texas, that I thought denim and bandana digital paper would go great with this theme. I used the offset feature in Cricut Design Space to make my sentiment pop with a black shadow.  Black enamel hearts for a final touch.

Something Sweet...

 Just for you!

This summer, I am enjoying creating fun tags to add to gifts! This summery, sun-shiny, mason jar tag is so fun! I added a light script stamp background to the white mason jar. I created a band using patterned papers and a simple sentiment. I added the new adorable lemon and lime brads and jewel stickers in green. Next, I created a "just for you" tag for the top of the mason jar and used a green brad from the summer mix brad collection to hold it in place! Lastly, I topped off my mason jar with mixed twine ribbons!

When Life Gives You Lemons

Hello and welcome to summer! I love our new Lemonade and Fruit Brads. With summer, I thought I'd do a slightly different take on the make lemons into lemonade theme. I don't think one envisions palms and pretty water on a dock with that theme but I've made it work!

Washi Tape is so versatile. One of the things I like to do most is use it as a border for my cards. It's very quick and easy and way more economical than wasting a huge piece of expensive glitter cardstock. If you just want a touch of glitter occasionally it also makes sense to invest in a few washi tapes instead of cardstocks that end up taking your precious space. I apply it along all edges, overlapping in the corners. You can't tell there's an overlap and the result is really nice.

To make this one, I created the background using Canva. I added the sentiment and then printed it. I used a die to make the tray and added it to the dock along with the Lemonade & Fruit Brads. Then I simply added the enamel dots and blue bling. This was quick and easy and I love the results!

Thanks a PUNCH!

 Here's a fun, fresh and fruity card featuring our brand new Eyelet Outlet Lemonade and Fruit Brads. On this card, the lemonade pitcher is cleverly standing in as fruit punch, to make the pun in the sentiment work.

The same pitcher can also magically transform into Margaritas when paired with the green glasses in our Cocktail Brad set; and don't forget there are Beer Brads, Wine Brads, Coffee and Iced Coffee,  Champagne (in our Wedding Set) and Soda Brads, so EVERYONE can enjoy their favorite beverages this summer in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store!

The Sweetest Day

Have you seen the new brads at Eyelet Outlet?  I'm fond of all of them, but the refreshing lemonade and fruit set is probably my new fav!  

Today I have a sweet center step card featuring the pitcher of lemonade from the set as well as some of lovely rose brads, and a pink enamel heart.

I created this card in Cricut Design Space from images included in Cricut Access and if you're also a Cricut crafter and would like to make this card, too, I've shared the file on my Cricut profile.  

Here's a direct link to the card file and links to the Eyelet Outlet products used are throughout the post.  I hope you'll give this a try to brighten someone's day.

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!
