Baby Dresser Card

Happy Thursday, crafters!  Today I've got a sweet little baby card for you that I made on my Cricut Maker.  I used the debossing tip to add some texture to the dresser, but the best part of this card were the fabulous Eyelet Outlet products that were used!

I love the way the book washi tape looks on the top shelf!  The next shelf holds one of our book brads, a brown teddy bear brad, and a train engine brad from the train mix set.  And of course, the little hanger brad for the outfit!  I also added some enamel dots on the drawers.

I've shared the file for this card on my Cricut profile, so if you're a Cricut crafter, you can make this card for a little one you love!   

Thanks for stopping in today!  Happy crafting!

The North Pole Toy Co.

The elves are busy this time of year making toys at the North Pole Toy Company!  I created this little shaped card in Cricut Design Space and embellished it with some of the brads in Eyelet Outlet's "toy department."  

I added the holiday sock monkey brad, train, teddy bear and car brads to my card, but the building blocks, pony brads, bicycle brads, and any of our sports ball brads would be great as well.

Thanks for stopping by today and we'd love for you to share how you've used Eyelet Outlet products on your holiday projects!  Join us at Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook Group!

 

Let's Have a Tea Party!

Good Thursday, crafters!  I recently re-discovered the beautiful retro graphics of Velma and Kathryn Balint of KB and Friends having first purchased from them many years ago.  I've gone completely wild over their adorable collection of boxes. Many of them pair so perfectly with Eyelet Outlet products, so you'll be seeing more of this type of card from me in coming weeks!  ;)

Today I'm having a Tea Party!  Inside the little retro tea set box you'll see a tea pot and cup from Eyelet Outlet Tea Cup Set as well as a spoon brad from the popular silverware set.  

On the table you'll see another of the tea pots in the set and seated at the table all ready for tea are the precious Teddy Bear brad along with his friend the Sock Monkey brad.

Thanks for joining me for tea today! See you next Thursday!

 

It's Been a Long, Long Time...

...since I (Lauren) have made a scrapbook layout! But my niece Maddie turned sixteen last week, and since a party (or any other social activity) was obviously out of the question, my sister came up with the idea of compiling a surprise scrapbook. She sent blank pages, a few supplies and postage-paid return envelopes to family and friends, and got back unbelievably beautiful and touching results. I was surprised, not only how many ideas I had... but how many of my ideas involved Eyelet Outlet Brads! Here's maybe my favorite of the pages I made:

I love using brads as a frame on cards, but it turns out they're even cooler around a photo! I took this picture of Maddie and her Nana (who also happens to be my mom!) in 2004, when Maddie was one day old, and it is still a favorite. To surround it, I chose brads and bling that either had a baby theme, or were pink, or both. I've got Heart Brads, Teddy Bears, Safety Pins, Ducks, a Colorful Lady Bug, a Butterfly, Flower Jewels, Heart Pearls, and tiny Pearl Bling.

One of the great things about making a scrapbook for an older kid in the year 2020 is that they (and their parents) have their own social media feeds, full of pictures you know they like. So it's possible to do a bit of lurking and photo-stealing, to get shots you might not have thought to take! This beautiful selfie records the day that Madeline got her braces off. As soon as I saw that smile --and the white space above her head-- I started thinking "thought bubble". I used a combination of stickers and brads to make a little collage of a few happy things I thought she might be thinking about, like school, treats, the beach, etc. I scattered a Computer Brad, Spring Bubble, Selfie Brad, Light Bulb, Scissors, Sun and some Mini Emotion Brads around my sticker sentiment, #Sixteen.

Whether you make layouts or cards, Eyelet Outlet has the perfect embellishments for all of your projects. Check out the huge selection of Brads, Bling, Sequins, Washi Tape and more!

Bear Hugs

When I saw this box card SVG from My Casual Whimsy's Etsy shop, I knew I'd have to make it!  First because it's just so cute, but second because I could imagine how cute it would be with a couple of Eyelet Outlet products added to it for extra fun!

This card really was quite easy to make and went together very quickly!  The poor little sick bear in bed is getting lots of comfort from his snuggly Eyelet Outlet Teddy Bear.  Hopefully the medicine he has to take from his Eyelet Outlet Spoon Brad is at least grape flavored!  I made the bear a little bit bigger than the file had it so that the bandaid brad would be the right size for his forehead and I used a red round enamel dot on the end of the thermometer and a few enamel hearts around the sentiment.

I'm glad you stopped in today!  Keep on crafting, friends!

Hooked On You

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and the Design Team at Eyelet Outlet is hard at work to give you lots of inspiration for your Valentine projects, but no need to wait on Valentine's Day to let your special someone know how you feel!  Here's a card perfect for just that!

This awesome fishing lure card stock was just what I needed to pair with Eyelet Outlet's new fishing lure brads, don't you think?!  And they go so well with our popular fishing pole brads, too!

And speaking of Valentine's Day and since it is Thursday, how about a little Throw Back Thursday?

Last year I had so much fun creating these little punny Valentine cards for my great niece to share at school.  I actually put together a little kit of all the parts and brads she would need and she assembled the cards herself.  The fishing pole brads are pretty versatile, right?!  

As 2018 comes to a close, we want to thank you for following Eyelet Outlet on our blog, Instagram, and Facebook this year and we're looking forward to bringing you lots more inspiration in the year ahead!  Happy New Year!

You're a Catch

Hello everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today.

The Brown Teddy Bear Brads offered at Eyelet Outlet are just plain adorable!  The package comes with both sitting and standing bears.  And there's also Pink & Blue Teddy Bears, perfect for a baby themed card or layout.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my Teddy Bears when I got this, "You're Clawsome", stamp set.  Does this claw machine bring back memories for you?  It does for me!  I used to love playing this (and many other) games in the arcade when I was young.

I stamped the image and scanned it into the computer as I wanted to make several layers with different apertures.

For the top layer, I cut around the perimeter of the claw machine on a panel which is 4" x 5 1/4".  I placed Confetti Washi Tape on the wall and Hardwood Washi Tape on the floor.  The opening I cut allowed me to wrap the washi around it so it's nice and secure.

The second layer has the stamped image, colored with Copic markers.  I cut a rectangle around the inside of the claw machine.  I attached a piece of acetate directly to the back of this layer and then adhered it to the bottom layer after coloring and attaching the brads.

So, the bottom layer shows the complete image minus the teddy bears included on the stamped image as I didn't want them to peek out from behind the brads.  Since I scanned this into my computer, I was able to erase the teddy bears with ease.  I colored the shute and claw.  Here's a closer look at the brads behind the acetate.

Inside, the sentiment plays off the Teddy Bears with another little bear brad to accent.  I cut the panel a bit smaller so I had room to border it with some additional Confetti Washi Tape.

 

I'd like to make another one of these with a combination of brads as I think that would look awesome and is a fantastic way to combine brads leftover from previous projects.

Thanks for visiting!  I'll see you next week with another project!

Make a Memory Last

Make a memory last...

and bring it back to life with brads and washi tape from Eyelet Outlet~

Here, two of my nieces got their ears pierced!

Along with a snuggly teddy bear!

I added Teddy Bear Brads in Brown and Pink to keep it playful...and to give a tribute to the teddy they each held as they went through the piercing process!

With so many colors, patterns and sizes of washi tape,

you can easily coordinate with the colors in your picture or the colors of your papers!

Here I used glitter washi tape as well as skinny washi tape 

that coordinated with their shirts and purse.

What a great memory between sisters!

And with this scrapbook page, they will be able to enjoy rehashing all the excitement, drama, and love!    I used a heart brad to add a bit of interest to that boring corner!

The paw prints can be found at EZ Laser Designs.

Thanks so much for taking a walk down memory lane.

Be sure to browse through our many brads and tape to find just the right embellishment

for your special memories!

Here you go...

another Valentine.

Hope it puts you in the mood to create some love notes embellishments from Eyelet Outlet.

The rich, brown glitter washi tape creates a snazzy border!

The brown teddy bear brads have two poses. Standing and sitting.
The hearts are a special deal...and on sale!

I inked up a large solid heart stamp with pink.

Then I brushed the edges with red ink before stamping it on my paper.

the result is a two toned heart.

Thanks for visiting today!
