"The Future's So Bright...

...You Gotta Wear Shades"! If there's a better sentiment to put on a graduation card I (Lauren) do not know it, especially when the "shades" in question are Eyelet Outlet Sunglass Brads!

I used a free font called Mom's Typewriter to make my sentiment strips and Lawn Fawn's Stitched Rainbow Dies with LOTS of colorful cardstock scraps to create a background of rainbows and clouds. I adorned one of the clouds with a Graduation Hat and the aforesaid Sunglass Brads, and couldn't resist adding Sun and Cloud Brads, as well as a few Heart Brads. Since I have not one but two beautiful nieces graduating from high school this month, I made two versions of this card, then kitted out a pair of envelopes with their names, as well as more Graduation Hats and Sunglass Brads; all on a background of Rainbow Washi.

Whether your family are celebrating graduations this June, weddings or anniversaries, Father's Day, birthdays or any other milestone, I'm pretty sure the Eyelet Outlet Store has brads and tape that will make your beautiful handmade cards even more fabulous!

A Graduation Toast

Not enough graduation toasts include ACTUAL toast, imo; a fact I (Lauren) have set out to correct, in card form.

I saw a cartoon somewhere with kawaii toast wearing a graduation cap and of course being a good Eyelet Outlet gal, I realized it would be even better with our Graduation Hat Brads and the Toast from the Bacon, Egg and Toast set. 

If you prefer your toasts a little less punny, the champagne glasses in the Eyelet Outlet Wedding Brad set might be more to your liking. Because YES, we do literally have a brad for EVERYTHING!!! :) 

Lauren Bergold

prefers bagels to toast IRL,

but agrees that toast is better 

as a brad and as a pun.

Gift for the Grad!

They will want to open your gift first when you jazz up the wrapping with Eyelet Outlet products and they might even want to keep the box!  Here's a gift box for a graduate using one of the square box files from the Cricut image library as a base. 

I used a graduation themed digital paper from Huckleberry Hearts for the base of my box and then applied some Eyelet Outlet Gold Foil washi tape around the bottom edge of the lid.  This black & gold tape would have been great, too!  

For the top I used graduates from Cricut's "Day to Day" image set and cut them in black card stock.  I used the hide contour function to eliminate existing graduation caps in the image and added Eyelet Outlet Graduation Cap brads for fun, touchable texture!

I'm glad you were with us today!  Be sure and follow us on Instagram, too!  Keep it crafty!

Congrats Graduate!

TGIF crafty friends!  Susie here with a graduation card - tis the season you know!

I used themed paper and a flip card die.  Here is the front of the card...

...and here it is flipped over - or open!

And here is a close up of the little graduate with the cap brad firmly in place!

The sentiment on this card is actually from one of the brand new clear stamp sets from Eyelet Outlet - the Truck Set! 

Check out all of the newly released clear stamp sets HERE.

You Did It Grad

I've got a graduation card for you today that has it all!  It's quick, it's cute, and it's custom!

I used two images from the Cricut library.  The graduates are from the "Simple Everyday Cards" cartridge and the sentiment is from the "Decorate! Celebrate!" cartridge.  Using the hide contour tool in Cricut Design Space, I eliminated the graduation caps from the image so that I could feature the Eyelet Outlet Graduation Cap Brads on my card.   

The Graduation Caps offer great texture and interest and this card is so easy to customize by making the sentiment your graduate's school colors!  

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to follow us on Pinterest and Instagram, too!

Graduation Day!!!

Hello there, it's Tuesday and my day to post on the Eyelet Outlet blog. Along with Weddings in June there are also graduations so since I had some graduation caps from Eyelet Outlet Store in my stash and I designed  a card around them.

I used a couple designs of washi tape, the black with gold stars and the narrow arrow along the bottom, Of course I used the graduation hats and black bead strips, they come in all colours and there are 500 in a package.

Close up of the beads and hats.
