Lauren's 2023 Favorites

 It's that time again, the Eyelet Outlet Design Team is picking our favorite projects of 2023; and at the same time, we're getting ready to make brand new inspiring creations for 2024! Here are five of my (Lauren's) personal picks... in more or less chronological order. Click the bolded text to visit the original posts for additional description and direct product links.

It's impossible (imo) to Flamin-Go wrong with EO Flamingo and Beachy Brads. When a friend sent me this hilarious pun, I literally couldn't get to my supplies fast enough!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and this vertical Girls Tape not only captures that vibe perfectly, it pairs seamlessly with pretty much any combination of Brads and Tapes that appeal to your favorite gal.

The new Sugar Skull Brads arrived at the end of the summer, and were instant faves. This Viva la Vida card, posted on Dia de los Muertos, turned out exactly like the picture that was in my head.

Eyelet Outlet Pinata Brads were also brand new this year and my first thought was to make a Smashing Shaker Card with EO Sequins inside. I stand by that decision.

The new Driving Brads pair brilliantly with Classic Car Brads, Compass Brads, and loads of tape styles; for instant Masculine Card perfection.

Day of the Dead with Sugar Skulls

 Hello EO fans! Today I'm sharing a Day of the Dead card. Yes, I've succumbed to all the sugar skull madness. But who wouldn't? Especially when there are such great embellishments to work with like the new Sugar Skull Brads from Eyelet Outlet. I used five of them on a patterned cardstock that I embossed and highlighted with pink, blue and white ink. It doesn't show well in the picture but its very dimensional. I also added Rose Brads. They go so perfectly with the Sugar Skulls. Finally I used several colors and sizes of jewel bling on the background to add just the right amount of bling.

Sweet Sugar Skulls and Bad Mom Jokes

Introducing one of Eyelet Outlet’s BRAND-NEW brads that were just released…. the SUGAR SKULLS!!!! 

As soon as I saw these brads, I HAD to make a card...and I’m not pulling your leg…bone.  All the bright colors and the beautifully intricate details in the flowers just shout CREATE!

 For my card, I looked through my stash and found some cardstock that matched the colors of my new boney brads.  Actually, I found a whole section of cardstock dedicated to sugar skulls that I had put away for just an occasion like this.

I fussy cut the three large sugar skulls out of the cardstock along the all the flowers and heart emblems. After layering all the cut outs in glitter and then white cardstock, I adhered them down to my card front.

 

You know me and bling! It wouldn’t be a Stacy card if it wasn’t rockin’ some bling. I ended up using two different sized jewel bling in purple and green and then cut some little swirls off of the jewel green Swirl Bling for two of the skulls.

 

I added some cute dancing skeletons on the bottom.  They are so happy they finally got to go to the dance.  Usually, they have “no-body” to go with.  Don’t worry about them though, they don’t let anything get under their skin (and you’re welcome 😊).

The final and best touches to the card, of course, are the three amazing sugar skull brads I placed on top of the heart emblems.

 

No bones about it, I love how these new brads inspired me.  Super easy. Super fun. Super cute! Inspiration brought to you by Eyelet Outlet. Bad mom jokes brought to you by yours truly.
