Take Me!

 Some days we all feel like we've had enough of crazy! Here's a funny little card that will cheer someone who can relate.

For this card I had planned to put two aliens in the space ship, but I realized I only had one left in my stash, so I opted for his buddy, a one-eyed monster brad and I think it worked great! I added a little red bling to the space ship and they're ready for take off! But will they return for the little girl who is begging to go? 

Punny Funny Valentines

 Punny cards are my favorite cards!  I've been creating a few punny Valentine cards this week. I've made similar versions in the past, but these have a bit of a fresh twist to them.

The alien brad is always a good one for conveying that your Valentine is "Out of this World""  I embellished his little space ship with some small white heart brads and red stick on gems.  Our enamel hearts are available in lots of colors and the green one matched my alien perfectly!

Again, enamel hearts are added to give some texture and interest, but the star of the show is our amazing wide grass washi tape!  I love this stuff!

I'll have a few more punny Valentine cards for you next week, so be sure to stop by!

Take Me To Your Reader

Bookmarks are a quick, easy, and fun little gift to create for the reader in your life.  Today I made one featuring Eyelet Outlet's cute little alien brad and the popular book washi tape.

Isn't this little guy just out of this world? Sorry!  I just couldn't help myself! 🤣 

The file for this bookmark is in the Cricut image library along with the little space ship.

Thanks for stopping by today.  We'd love to see what you're creating with Eyelet Outlet products.  Join our Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook Group and show us your creations.

Alien Brads: Out of This World!

Absolutely all of Eyelet Outlet's new Spring brads are awesome, in my opinion, but none are more fun than the Alien Brads, which are both adorable and otherworldly... so clearly I (Lauren) had to use them on a couple of different cards!

Scientists have recently confirmed that there *IS* life on Mars, but alas, there are no bakeries. So it turns out most of the UFO's sighted on this planet involve Little Green Men who have not enjoyed cake in far too long! 

I was happy to build these guys an appropriately-sized chocolate cupcake, then frost it with the help of two different sized cloud punches. I added a couple of Star Brads to make them feel at home. And obviously no cupcake is complete without a Cherry Brad on top!

One of my favorite ways to add a funky sentiment is with my trusty old-school label maker. In this case, I trimmed the labels down a bit, and affixed them kind of randomly, to fit the fun vibe of the card. I used another Alien Brad and the same set of supplies to create a sentiment inside, as well!

I often use funny quotes as inspiration for a card design, and I wish I could remember which comedian said, some years ago, that Area 51 didn't particularly worry him, but the thought of 50 OTHER such places made him a bit anxious! I typed the sentiment on clear labels which I affixed to a cloudy sky over a bit of patterned paper desert. Then I filled in the scene with another adorable Martian and a funky space ship made from paper, Glitter Silver Washi Tape and tiny 1/16" Mini Gold Brads.

Meanwhile, here in this galaxy, you'll have noticed that we now have even more fun for you here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog... some days there will be more than one post!
