A Valentine Toast (with Eggs!)

Breakfast, we're told, is the most important meal of the day, possibly because it's the most pun-worthy? Eyelet Outlet Bacon, Egg and Toast Brads are always ready to add their special charm to birthday cards, anniversary toasts, or, as in this case, adorable mini Valentines!

Here's a TOAST to all the awesome brads, tapes, bling and embellishments in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store, just waiting to make your next card EGG-stra special!

A Toast for Valentine's Day

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it's also the very best for puns! When these EGG-citing cards pop up in your Valentine's mailbox, it is sure to be BACON their day! 

Eyelet Outlet's Bacon, Egg and Toast Brad Set pairs perfectly with colorful Striped Washi and some white Enamel Hearts for a pair of cards that's FRIED and true! ♥

Valentine's Breakfast

I (Lauren) love a good breakfast and also a good pun. So a few years ago, when the Eyelet Outlet Bacon, Egg and Toast Brads made their debut, I was pretty excited to pair them with my Lawn Fawn "Love and Breakfast" stamp set. I'm still happy, actually, for any excuse to try a different version, in this case little three-inch square mini Valentines!

I used the kawaii breakfast images and some of the words from the stamp set, but swapped out all of the foodstuffs for brads. I used small alphabet stickers to complete the sentiments and to highlight selected words. 

I scattered a few white Heart Pearls around each card for extra texture and interest; rounded the corners and added a little bit of machine stitching.

In addition to Bacon, Egg and Toast Brads, I realized that the Waffles from our Chicken and Waffle Brad set would work really well, too. I added a Bright Stitched Flower to the breakfast tray on this card.

There are lots of other great Food Brads at Eyelet Outlet; everything from crab and lobster, to ice cream cones, candies, cakes, donuts, fruits and veggies, and accessories like baking tools, grills, silverware and more. Whatever you're craving, we're serving it up in the EO Store!

Did Someone Order Breakfast?

Because I (Lauren) have two yummy Breakfast ATC's for you that contain zero fat, cholesterol or calories. They feature the awesome Bacon, Egg and Toast Brad Set from Eyelet Outlet!

I love making Artist Trading Cards, the official dimensions of which are the same as a playing card: 2.5 x 3.5". I'll tell you a secret... most of my ATC's (including these) are made directly on top of a playing card from an old deck that's missing a few cards, which gives me a nice strong substrate on which to work. I made the Toaster ATC first. It features two pieces of Toast from the Bacon, Egg and Toast set plus some pink hearts from the super-useful Multicolor Enamel Hearts set. I used a strip of Skinny Washi to create a horizon line behind the toaster.

In case you're wondering what happened to the Eggs and Bacon from the set, my second card contains the answer, lol. Again I've used Skinny Heart Washi to divide two layers of patterned paper. For the record, the idea for my cracked egg was stolen from (AHEM) I mean inspired by (that's better!) my fellow EO designer Kim Venezia of Katydid Cards. She made this awesome pair of cards that use the Egg Brads with the Bacon, Egg and Toast set as well as our own EO Breakfast Stamps last June!

Wishing you an EGG-cellent day with all of your favorite treats! ♥

A Hearty Breakfast on an Egg-cellent Day

Who says a person needs designer paper? Instead, create your own paper designs using Washi Tape... and there's no better place to get Washi Tape than at Eyelet Outlet. There is such a wide variety of designs to choose from - and the price is amazing! Just check it out - HERE.

I actually used 3 different styles of Washi Tape for this card - Brick (for my wall), Silverware (because who can eat eggs without a fork, right?) and Skinny Stripes to ground everything.

The Have an egg-cellent day sentiment is from the Eyelet Outlet Breakfast clear stamp set.

There's a hearty breakfast on my card, too, featuring these Eyelet Outlet Brads:

Bacon, Egg, and Toast

Coffee

Egg

I used the Stamp Set and some of the Washi Tape

 to decorate the inside of my card:

Bacon, Egg, and Toast Brads

Breakfast Clear Stamp Set

Brick Washi Tape

Coffee Brads

Egg Brads

Silverware Washi Tape

Skinny Washi Tape

Now... let's all have an egg-cellent day!

Do you know what makes any day excellent?

EYELET OUTLET does!

Jeanette

Egg-cellent day!!

Start the day off with Eyelet Outlet...and 

it will be great!

Don't you love how our new stamp line pairs so well with our Breakfast brads!

Eggs-citing!

The paper flowers with yellow centers mimic the the egg brads.

With these clever stamps, you'll never run out of toast or eggs!!

The Sun & Cloud Brads are some of my favorite brads!!

We will be headed to Schamburg, IL for the next 

on August 17-18, 2018!

Eggs to my Bacon

Hi Friends! kel here today to share a fun mini-card set!

I used one of the cutest brad sets, the Breakfast Bacon, Eggs, and Toast Brads. This time I used only the eggs and bacon brads for these mini 3x3 cards because they were a perfect fit with this sentiment!! Eyelet Outlet makes these adorable Breakfast Clear Stamps that would work perfectly with these brads too, but I haven't had a chance to get my hands on them yet!! So I made it work with what I had on hand!!

Love this little set of cards... Perfect for lunch box notes too!! Thanks for stopping by today and see you again soon!!

lovies, =o) kel

I'd Be Toast.....

Happy Saturday!  This is Rebecca, back with another card using one of the new stamp sets.

Last week I was here using the apple set. This week I'm using the breakfast set.

   

These stamps are making me hungry!

I used shades of yellow and brown Prima water soluble oil pastels on watercolor paper to color a "scrambled egg" background.  

The Bacon, Egg and Toast Brads are so cute!

We go Together Like... (Pick One)

One of my favorite Eyelet Outlet Clear Stamp sets has definitely got to be the Donut Stamps, and as much as I love the donut-related stamps in that set, for me (Lauren) the most useful stamp might just be the one that says, "We Go Together Like..." because there are just SO MANY ways to use it and so many pairs of Eyelet Outlet brads that make it work! Here are a few right now:

One of my favorites of the New May 2018 Brad Sets are the Jeans and Tee Shirt Brads. In each pack you get six pairs of denim blue trousers and six shirts of assorted colors, so they are super versatile!

The Chicken and Waffle Brads are also new, and again, they are just so fun you want to use them over and over. Although I feel I should probably warn you that, if you're anything like me, the Chicken and Waffle Brads may cause cravings for actual chicken and/or waffles, so please crave responsibly! :)

Neither the Coffee nor Donut Brads are new, but they never stop being AWESOME, imo! You'll have noticed that I've essentially made the same 3.5x5" mini card for each of these designs, using a fun reproduction library card and polka dot patterned paper in coordinating colors.

I've used the same two tapes: Chevron Washi and one of the black and white Pattern Skinny Tapes on top of torn bits of dictionary paper that relate to the brads. In this case, I've used a Chicken Brad and a Rooster Brad on top of the definition for "Hen".

And finally I've combined some bacon and an egg from our Breakfast Brads (the packets also have slices of toast!) on top of the definitions for various egg-related words.

Of course this idea would work for pretty much ANY combination of brads you can imagine, so I hope you'll be inspired to make your own versions! ♥

Mooove it on over!

Ham it up with Eyelet Outlet's latest release.
