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!

Set of 3 Flower Shaker Thank You Cards

Hey everybody! Are you like me and find that you always need thank you cards in your stash?! Here's a fun design that's super simple and easy to mass-produce, and features our new Flower Shakers along with Skinny Silver Dots Washi Tape and Purple Enamel Dots, Pink Enamel Dots and White Enamel Dots. I matched the ink and enamel dots with the colors in the shaker bits inside each flower.

I cut three standard A2 size top-folding card bases from heavyweight white cardstock. I put the grid block stamp in my stamp positioner and stamped it in purple, pink and yellow inks on each card base. I added a strip of Skinny Silver Dots Washi Tape to each and stamped a sentiment in black ink in the lower right corner on each using the stamp positioner. I adhered a Flower Shaker to each card front, and the final touch was adding three Purple Enamel Dots, Pink Enamel Dots and White Enamel Dots to the card with the corresponding ink color.

I applied a strip of Skinny Silver Dots Washi Tape to the inside of each card base and then stamped a thank-you sentiment on each using the stamp positioner.

Leslie's Holiday Favs!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing three of my favorite holiday projects created with our amazing products! When this idea was presented to our design team, we all loved it, so hopefully this is the start of a new holiday tradition! 

The first of my three favorites is this adorable Merry Christmoose card! These Moose Brads are some of the coolest brads ever, which I paired with our Copper Skinny Washi Tape and White Enamel Dots to create this fun scene.

The card in the number two spot is this peaceful serene scene created with our Cardinal Brads and Cardinal Profile Brads against a Glitter Star Washi Tape background embellished with Snowflake Brads and White Enamel Dots.

And my third favorite is this step card shaker! Who can resist a shaker card?! Especially a shaker card filled with our gorgeous Snowflake Sequins?! I also used clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling and Clear Bling Strips to embellish the snowflakes on the front of the shaker.

Have A Lovely Birthday!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty birthday card featuring our new Female Cardinal Brads which I paired with our Glitter Brown Washi Tape, Valentine Washi Tape and White Enamel Dots! Nothing like girls just hanging out jabbering to one another, lol!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock along with layering panels from white and brown cardstock, and rounded the top left and bottom right corners. I stamped the branch and flowers on the white panel, added three Female Cardinal Brads on the limbs, and added strips of Glitter Brown Washi Tape and Valentine Washi Tape across the bottom. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, cut it with a stitched oval die and adhered it to the bottom right.

Sweet Friendship Card!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun friendship card featuring our new Cupcake Swirl Brads that hit the store week before last! I paired the brads with our White Enamel Dots on the front and used a little bit of Valentine Washi Tape on the inside. This clean and simple design would be easy to mass produce for your card stash and can be used for a variety of occasions!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and layering strip from white cardstock along with a pink patterned paper layering panel and strip. I rounded the bottom right corner of the card base and layering panel, and adhered the panels to the card base. I adhered the strips together, added three Cupcake Swirl Brads toward the top, and adhered the strip vertically to the card base. The final step was adding a die cut digital sentiment embellished with White Enamel Dots to complete the front of the card. 

I cut a short panel for the inside from white cardstock and embellished it with strips of Valentine Washi Tape. I stamped a sentiment in pink ink and layered the panel on a piece of the pink patterned paper.

No Drama Llama!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun inspirational card featuring our matching llama brads and stamps, along with my favorite white enamel dots! I love this pleated fold design, and pairing it with the llama makes it so fun!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock along with layering panels from double-sided patterned paper and cardstock. I created the pleated fold element from the opposite side of the layering panel and adhered the layers together. I stamped the sentiment from the Llama Stamp Set in yellow ink, punched it with a circle punch and layered it on a slightly larger yellow punched circle. I added a Llama Brad to the center of the circle element and adhered it to a layered strip placed horizontally across the panel. I added some die cut corners and White Enamel Dots to complete the card front. 

I embellished the inside panel with strips of patterned paper and cardstock, stamped another sentiment from the Llama Stamp Set, and layered the panel on yellow cardstock.

Keep the doctor away!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Can you believe another Saturday has rolled around?! The weeks are flying by! Leslie here sharing a get well tag using the old 'an apple a day' adage! This sweet tag features awesome brads with a matching stamp set and my favorite enamel dots!

I die cut the stitched tag twice from white 110# cardstock and once more from 80# red cardstock. I created a faux tablecloth by stenciling red distress ink onto a stencil with a blending brush and cut it into strips. I adhered the strips to red cardstock strips and then to one of the white cardstock tags. Using the Apple Clear Stamp Set, I stamped the basket in brown ink on light brown cardstock, fussy cut it, and adhered it to the lower stenciled strip, and then stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in brown ink. I put four Apple Brads in the basket and one outside the basket along with an apple core. I adhered the two white tag die cuts to the red one, and then threaded three ribbons through the hole at the top of the tag and tied them with bamboo crafting cord. The finishing touch was the addition of three White Enamel Dots across the bottom. Here's a closer look:

An amazing thank you!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a pretty CAS thank you card featuring some of the new brads that hit the store several days ago along with some enamel dots! This is a super simple design that could easily be mass produced to create a set to give as a gift!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base and a layering panel from white cardstock and rounded the bottom right corner. I stamped flower stems and leaves in the bottom right quadrant of the layering panel and stamped the sentiment just to the left of the stems and leaves. I added five Colored Daisy Brads and adhered the panel to the card base. The final touch was adding several White Enamel Dots to complete the front panel for a little interest.

I embellished the inside panel with a strip of pink striped paper, stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel directly to the inside of the card base.

Moose in the Alpines at Christmastime!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun Christmoose card with you today! Yep, I'm still (always?) in Christmas mode, lol! My favorite time of year! Although I have to admit that Spring is pretty darn awesome too, and we are enjoying some gorgeous Spring weather out here in Colorado! All right, so let me tell you about this fun card!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from Neenah Classic Linen along with a layering panel. I die cut and assembled the Alpines, added two Moose Brads and adhered them to the layering panel. I added a couple angled strips of Copper Skinny Washi Tape, adhered the panel to a piece of white craft foam and then adhered the piece to the card base. I added a stamped layered sentiment and several White Enamel Dots to complete the front. Pretty simple but effective! 

I embellished the inside panel with a couple strips of the cardstock used to die cut the Alpines, stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on more of the same cardstock.

29 AGAIN?!

As I get older, birthdays become a little more of a sore subject. For years I used the line that I was 29 again when someone asked my age. This shaker card makes fun of those of us who want to celebrate our birthdays but don't really want to get into the details of the exact number. I'm not quite as old as this young lady but some days I sorta feel this old!

This was a fun project. As usual, the Eyelet Outlet products take it up a notch. You can find all the details on how to make this on my personal blog.

Take it slow and just breathe!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing one more clean and simple card created with the quarantine-inspired brads that are new in the store which I paired with some pretty washi tape and enamel dots. This is another card in my series to pay tribute to our frontline healthcare workers. This sentiment, too, is true and literal. People all over the world have been through so much over the past year and we all need to be reminded to take it slow, one day at a time.

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock along with front and inside layering panels from dark teal cardstock, and rounded the top right and lower left corners of all. The computer-generated front and inside sentiments were printed on white cardstock and trimmed, and the corners rounded. I applied two strips of Sky Washi Tape horizontally across the lower portion of the front panel and added a strip of Silver Dots Skinny Washi Tape on the seam of the two Sky strips. I added a Mask Brad just to the left of the sentiment and several White Enamel Dots to the background, then layered the panel on dark teal cardstock.

I embellished the right side of the inside panel with strips of the Sky Washi Tape and Silver Dots Skinny Washi Tape, adhered the panel to the teal cardstock layer and adhered it to the inside of the card base. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

This triple fold card has a belly band and features some of the new quarantine brads in the store, along with enamel dots which are some of my personal favs!

I created the card base from brown cardstock and embellished the front panel and side flaps with coordinating patterned papers. I created a die cut element on which I stamped the 'get well' sentiment and affixed a Kleenex Brad and Mask and Soap Brads, and added several White Enamel Dots. I embellished the corners with punched hearts and slightly larger enamel dots. I embellished the inside panel with cardstock strips and punched hearts, stamped the sentiment, and adhered the panel to the inside of the card base.

Happy Sunflowers!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a pretty sunflower-themed 'thinking of you' card. The sunflower is my favorite flower so it didn't take long to work up a nice clean and simple card design using these awesome brads! This design is one that would be super easy to mass produce to create a set to give as a gift.

I created a standard A2 top-folding ivory card base and rounded the lower right corner. By now you know I love to do that to add some interest to a card! I cut a slightly smaller ivory panel for the front and adhered a piece of patterned paper to the bottom, added a strip of Wood Washi Tape and layered the panel on dark brown cardstock. I added a die cut stem and several Sunflower Brads, and adhered the layered panel to the card base. I die cut a digital sentiment and popped it up on foam pieces for a little dimension. The final touch was the addition of several small Ivory Enamel Dots. Thanks so much for stopping by - we'll see you next time!

Can't have too many dogs!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun card for your favorite crazy dog person! My hubby and I are crazy cat people but we love dogs too, and all kinds of other animals for that matter. This was a fun clean and simple card to put together!

I thought a brown and black color combo for this dog card would be fun. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding white card base along with slightly smaller black and white cardstock panels. I applied a strip of Glitter Brown Washi Tape down toward the bottom of the white panel and then added strips of Glitter Black Washi Tape above and below the brown. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink, added several Dog Brads and layered the panel on the black cardstock panel. I adhered the piece to the card base and added several White Enamel Dots to finish off the front.

A latte Christmas wishes!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a card with a latte Christmas wishes on it! I couldn't believe I had a die matching the sentiments on these little coffee cups! How lucky was that?! I also used some of our festive Christmas washi tape and a few of my favorite enamel dots!

I created a landscape top-folding A2 card base from white cardstock along with white layering panels for the front and the inside. I also cut red textured cardstock panels for the front and inside, and then rounded all four corners on all the panels. I applied a strip of Christmas Pattern Washi Tape vertically down the left side of the front red panel, then added three Holiday Coffee Cup Brads and three White Enamel Dots. I stamped the first part of the sentiment in green ink and adhered a white layered die cut just below it to complete the front sentiment.

Christmas Holly Tags

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! It's getting closer to Thanksgiving and my mind has completely turned to getting things ready for Christmas. I'm in full swing of making cards and tags. To that end, I made these six tags over the weekend using a variety of EO products.

It all started with a new washi tape I noticed had arrived at the store. It had six different Christmas sentiments and I immediately thought I would make tags with it. And here is the result of that inspiration. This tape is wide as washi tape goes. It's a full 1 6/8" wide which turned out to be perfect for the mini tag templates I used from Kiwi Lane. You could use any tag pattern, dies, cut them with an electronic machine or even make them by hand. The average size of the finished tags are 1 7/8" wide by 3" tall. Perfect to pair with a bow on Christmas packages. 

I often hear people ask what they can do with washi tape. Well, this is a perfect example of an out of the box use that takes advantage of the beautiful prints. To make them, I applied long strips of the washi tape on white cardstock. Then I trimmed the cardstock down the sides and top of the tape. I used my paper trimmer with a deckle blad to cut the bottom. Then I used double-sided adhesive to attach the washi pieces to the tags. After that, I had great fun decorating them with a variety of bling and brads.

* Merry & Bright Tag

--- Holiday Bling

Peace On Earth

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a beautiful Christmas card with just the right amount of sparkle! I hope you've been working on your Christmas card stash and have a good number of them done by now!

As I'm sure you've noticed, a standard A2 size top-folding card base is my "go-to" card base, so I cut one from white cardstock along with a red cardstock panel which I adhered to the front of the card base. I cut a small square white cardstock element that I covered with Glitter Star Washi Tape. I have a new birch tree window die in my stash so I cut one from white silver cardstock and adhered it to the front of the square element. I added a Cardinal Brad and a Cardinal Profile Brad along with a couple Snowflake Brads to the square element and adhered it to the card front. The finishing touch was the addition of several White Enamel Dots above the focal element. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun birthday card featuring something most of us love... ice cream! And no matter whether you love chocolate, strawberry or vanilla, we have you covered! These adorable brads are new in the store this month so be sure to check them out!

I cut a square card base and adhered a panel of blue cardstock. I layered strips of Glitter Dot Washi Tape on a piece of white cardstock leaving a very thin margin between the strips, and then cut it with a postage stamp die. I layered the die cut on a blue cardstock panel and then on white. I created the sentiment on the computer and cut it in a strip which I angled across the die cut. I added several Ice Cream Brads and adhered the piece to the card base. The final step was adding White Enamel Dots in the corners. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Can't Wait To Hang Out Again Soon!

Have you seen the new Sloth & Koala Brads brads this month? OMG! They are so cute and there are so many good ideas that the Design Team has come up with. Love it all!

My card features the koalas. I covered a mint A2 card base using a designer paper panel that reminds me of Eucalyptus with shades of minty green. Inside each circle, I put a portion of a tree branch and a Koala brad. The sentiments are embossed with white heat embossing. I accented it with two white flowers that I colored using my Copic markers to match my color scheme. I love that I can customize flowers from Eyelet Outlet with Copics, watercolor or just about anything you want to use. I used white enamel dots as accents and as the flower center.

As is often the case with my cards, I put the punchline on the inside. It extends the fun a little longer. Today's card says, "Can't Wait To Hang Out Again Soon!" If I don't have the sentiment I want in my supplies, I print the message on a piece of white copier paper and attach it only on the left side of the card. I really like finishing my cards this way. It's very similar to the interior of quality purchased cards. As a bonus, it also hides the back sides of the brads! I've made templates in Word so that it's super quick and easy to make the card interiors for both A2 sized and 5 x 7 cards.

Have a wonderful Sunday! Hope you're "Hanging With Your Homies" and staying safe.

Hugs,

Janet - SugarShine Designs
