It's a DINO-Mite Day

Eyelet Outlet Dinosaur Brads make any Valentine, Birthday, or "Just Because" card more RAWR-some! This handsome dino family is frolicking in the distance, under a blue sky bright with Sun and Cloud Brads. The diecut dino in the foreground is looking cute in every sense because he (or she?) is sporting a Small Eye Brad. 

Any time you need to make a (cardmaking!) scene, The Eyelet Outlet Online Store has the perfect brads for all occasions; and trade show season is just around the corner: check out our full 2024 Trade Show Schedule to see when the Eyelet Outlet Booth will be in YOUR town!

Dino-Mite!

Eyelet Outlet Dinosaur Brads make any day both DINO-mite and REX-cellent, as this pair of adorable minicards will attest. Small shapes like these two inch circles are brilliant for building little scenes at brad scale, with just enough room for a Dino, a Tall Palm and Sun and Cloud Brads and yes, a stamped and paper-pieced volcano!

Visit the Eyelet Outlet Online Store for more brads, tapes and embellies to Make a Scene of your own; and check out our Tradeshow Schedule to find out when the Eyelet Outlet Booth will be coming your way!

The ABC's of Eyelet Outlet

A couple of years ago, I (Lauren) made a little ATC-sized book with as many Eyelet Outlet brad styles, arranged alphabetically, as I could fit... which turned out to be quiiiiiiiite a few! That project was so much fun, I decided to do it again. So here are the letters A through E:

Here's a complete list of the brads used, I tried to change it up and add some lesser-known ones in addition to all my favorites!

A: Mini Ants, (Vacation) Arrows, an Ambulance (from the First Responders set), Aprons (from the BBQ set, which also has a Grill), and both styles of Apple Brad.

B: Bicycle Brad, Brown (Teddy) Bears, (School) Bus Brad, Bottles and a mug of Beer (all found in the Beer set), plus one handsome Bluebird from the Bluebird and Robin set.

C: Candle Brads, a Swirl Cupcake, Crown (from the Crown and Tiara set), Computer, Classic Cars and a Chicken Brad.

D: Doggos (including a Puppy Brad a Paw and the supper dish from the Kennel Mix), Dinosaur, Donut Brad and a Deer plus a Prancing Deer.

E:  Eagles, Eye Glass Brad, Emergency (technically the police car from the First Responders set), Eggs (and a Fried Egg from the Bacon, Egg and Toast set), Elephant from the Jungle Mix set.

ABC's headline: one of our two styles of Sunglass Brad, Butterfly Brad, Classic Car, Crown, Bus, Bluebird, Ring (from the Wedding set), Mini Ladybug, Beer Brad.

Stay tuned for the letters F through J, coming next week to the Eyelet Outlet Blog!

Valentine Love Cards

Hi everyone! 2021 is soon one for the history books! I'm sure not going to miss much of it. Looking ahead, I'm excited to share my top three most favorite valentine and love cards. It's so much fun going back to look in my photo files to pull out these three for you today. It's also fun to see what the other designers have posted too. I hope you'll check them out!

Let's start with #3 and count up to #1. I'm a bee lover and I adore the Funky Bee Brads and Mini Bee Brads. I used both here along with Skinny Glitter Washi Tapes, Bee Washi Tape, Glitter Rainbow Washi Tape and Heart Shaped Enamels! So much fun color and shine!

Next up is a fun dinosaur inspired card. This one features the Tall Palm Tree Brads, Sun & Cloud Brads and of course the Dinosaur Brads! The Cloud Washi Tape is such a great background to the volcanos! Glitter Washi Tape - Green Pattern is also used as a wild green background to this one.

Drum roll please! My #1 card choice is this fun ice cream card. This one features our Ice Cream Brads and Heart Shaped Enamels. A few Pearls also accent this one. I cut the brown cardstock with the melty edge and used Glossy accents on the edge. The brown cardstock reflects through to make it look like it's melting. Simple but fun effect!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane and also got some inspiration for Valentine's Day. It'll be here before we know it!

Happy Creating Everyone!

DINO-mite!

There are few things more fun for a cardmaker than "making a scene" (in card form, of course!) but it's even better if you get to make THREE tiny little scenes... each providing a home to an adorably ferocious Eyelet Outlet Dinosaur Brad!

My little squares are just about 1.25" each; which turns out to be the perfect size to hold a simple rendition of sky and ground, one Dino Brad and either a Tall Palm Tree and a Mini Butterfly or the Sun. By staggering the horizon line across my A6 card, the tiny scenes relate to each other, and hopefully add up to a larger landscape that is "DINO-mite"!

Jurassic Park

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! Today I have a fun card for the dinosaur kid in your life using our new Dinosaur Brads. These are so fun and I love the orange, gray and green/yellow colors used in these brads.

I created the scene in this card by using a mountain die cut and converting the snow to lava to create volcanoes. Now there's not much to mountains so if you don't have a die like this, you can draw and cut a set for yourself and no one will know the difference.

The sky is made with our Cloud Washi Tape. This is a perfect way to quickly create great looking sky backgrounds. It's a neutral blue which means it will go with any and all color schemes used in your card. You can't go wrong and it totally looks like designer paper. I also added a Sun Brad from the Sun and Cloud Brad set. This is another staple you really need to have in your collection. They are perfect in little scenes like this.

I used a few Copic markers to create the ground and the explosions at the top of the volcanoes. I stamped a few palm trees and mixed them up with our Palm Tree Brads so it has added dimension and thickness to the "jungle." Then the scene was ready for the stars of the show, the Dinosaur Brads! They are terrific in this scene.

The green glitter background is made with our Green Patterned Glitter Washi Tape and the striped background is made using the Foil Striped Washi Tape at an angle. The glitter washi tape like all of Eyelet Outlet's glitter tape is shed-free and I like the pattern which makes it more interesting and textured. The foil washi tape is also a great way to get that trendy foil look without mess or fuss.

To finish, I created the sentiment from a combination of stamps I had on hand and using my printer. Another Dino and Palm Tree finish it off.

Before I go, I want to tell you that Eyelet Outlet has gotten in a bunch of New Washi Tapes. Check it out! There's a lot of great ones that have been added to the store. Go to the Washi Tape - Decorative Tape page and all the new ones will show at the top.

Have a dinomite day!

Dinosaur Bookmark

Have you seen Eyelet Outlet's new dinosaur brads?  They're so fun!  There's three different ones in the set.  Last week I showed you the T-Rex and today I've got a bookmark for you featuring the brontosaurus and the triceratops from the set. 

I've also paired them with one of our palm tree brads.  At the bottom of the book mark I've used a strip of our popular book washi tape.  I'm sure this fun little bookmark will make your reader smile, so I hope you pick up some our new dinosaur brads and give this project a try.  

We all love a sale!!

Check out this sneak peek using the Dino Brads!

Love these guys! I'm sure they are going to be a hit for all those preschoolers! 

The black enamel dots make a nice detail in the opposite corners.

Be sure to add a couple of packages of Tall Palm Tree Brads to your orders.

And nothing sales warm weather like Butterfly Brads. We have several styles to choose from!

Have a DINO-mite day!!

Maro Polo!

The dinosaurs are coming soon to Eyelet Outlet and here's another sneak peak!

The mama dino is gathering her young for the evening.  One of the little ones decided to go exploring so mama is checking his location with the "Marco Polo" call to bring him home.

It's a bit whimsical, a bit unbelievable, but lots of fun, right?!?

The large dinosaur and palm trees are from Lawn Fawn stamps.  The dinosaur brads are some of Eyelet Outlet's newest and will be available soon.  The kid in all of us will find them fun and enjoyable to work with!

Start planning your dinosaur cards now and watch for the Eyelet Outlet announcement of their new dinosaur brads---it's coming soon.  Take a visit over to the Eyelet Outlet site for all of your brad, bling, washi supplies and more!

Happy Crafting!

Godzilla!

Eyelet Outlet will soon be releasing some brand new dinosaur brads.  The set includes a triceratops, a brontosaurus and a tyrannosaurus-rex.  The T-Rex in the set reminded me quite a lot of the infamous Godzilla and so today I'm bringing you a couple of Godzilla inspired cards!

First up is a timely little card since many of us are still social distancing and longing to see some of our friends and family.

I love making silly joke cards for the kids in my life this one is certain to get a laugh!  Again, I used the city scape from the Cricut's Plantin Schoolbook image set and a simple house from the Just Because image set.  

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to watch for the dinosaur brad set in the Eyelet Outlet online store!  It's a great set and you'll find lots of fun things to do with these little guys!

DINO-miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite!

The latest addition to the Eyelet Outlet menagerie are these adorable Dinosaur Brads, which are both classic AND Jurassic! There isn't a seven year old boy in my house, so I (Lauren) cannot be 100% sure, but I *think* the dinos which come in each pack are Tyrannosaurus, Diplodocus and Styracosaurus. What I am absolutely positive about is that they are suuuuuuuuuuuper cute!

My first card has more white space than I think I've ever used in my entire life, lol. But then dinosaurs need a lot of room, right? I made a softly stenciled background of foliage on which to place my Dino Brads, then added a peek-a-boo layer on top, with pierced holes to add interest around each window. I used chipboard alphabets for "RAWR" and a vintage Elite typewriter for the rest of my sentiment.

My second card uses the same stenciled foliage and yellow letters, but this time they're arranged in a long strip matted on some Glitter Gold Tape and the dinos are frolicking around the word "DINO-MITE". I added little block letters to complete the birthday phrase.

Eyelet Outlet will be participating in another Stamp and Scrapbook Expo Virtual Show, this Saturday, June 20th. Be sure to check our FaceBook page for details, and join designer Janet Axtman as she shows off the latest and greatest EO goodies! ♥
