Paws-itively Perfect: A Pop-Up Dog Card!

As a huge dog lover, I'm always thrilled to find fun, pet-themed embellishments, and Eyelet Outlet truly delivers! For today's project, I've created an adorable pop-up slider card featuring several fantastic dog-related brads.

To bring this interactive card to life, I used a clever die set from Diamond Press. This set allows you to craft a slider mechanism where, with a gentle pull of the tab at the bottom, a cute dog pops up from inside the box, revealing a very special message!

Once the card base was assembled and all the moving pieces were installed, it was time for the best part: adding the perfect brads to match the theme! On the top of the card, I placed two sweet Paw Brads. In the lower right corner, you'll spot a bone and a dog house from the Puppy Brad Set. To balance the scene, I added an adorable puppy from the Kennel Mix Brads on the left, alongside a dog bowl, also from the Puppy Brad Set.

This card was so much fun to create, and the pop-up element adds such a delightful surprise! If you're a dog fan like me, you'll love incorporating these charming brads into your next project.

A Day Full of Treats

Hi everyone! I hope you have been enjoying eh weekend. Today my card has gone to the dogs! If you like dogs, I think you will like this one.

I started with a stamped image of a row of dog houses. After coloring and cutting it out, I created a base to put it on made with Wood Washi Tape. This is a mini-slimline card so I cut a background in light blue and ran it through an embossing folder. Then I used some ink to make the embossed design pop out a little more. I glued the wood and houses to it and then began to add all the dog-gone goodness with brads. I used four different sets for this. See below for the links of all the products used.

Funny Christmas Gift Tags

 My family has a great sense of humor, so I know they are going to enjoy the funny gift tags I've created for their Christmas presents this year.  

I created these tags in Cricut Design Space with images, tags, and pattern fills and if you're also a Cricut crafter and would like to make these, I've shared the link to the file for these on my Cricut profile.

This one is embellished with the Eyelet Outlet jeans & t-shirt brads as well as one of the cuddly puppies from our puppy brad set. 

The jeans & t-shirt set was used on this one, too.  The set includes 4 colors of t-shirts.  I also used a snowflake brad and a vintage looking Santa brad from our Santa & Deer set.  

Love the pony from the horse and pony set!  I'm afraid my granddaughter is going to be disappointed that she's not really getting a pony!!

Our classic car set includes 4 different colors!  Our motorcycle brad would be awesome on this, too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Today I topped a couple of puppy and kitten brads with Santa hat brads under a Christmas tree branch adorned with holiday light brads and an ornament.  

Snow has already started flying in my hometown in Pennsylvania and there's 52 days until Christmas, so get on over to Eyelet Outlet and fill your cart with holiday brads that will make your projects really stand out this year!

Happy Birthday Bookshelves

 Hello Ai fans! I'm here today with a fun indoor scene featuring the new Book Washi Tape now at the store. For a long time, EO has carried a popular and loved Book Washi Tape. Recently a second design was added and I've used it here on these die cut shelves. This is also called Book Washi Tape but it is a bit more whimsical. It has little paper airplanes floating along the top of the books. You can see the two washi tape patterns below in greater detail.

Original Book Washi Tape

Newest Book Washi Tape

 The shelves and plants were made with dies in my stash. I decorated them with several brads. On the top shelf I added a Feline Brad and Book Brad. On the second shelf I included a Book Brad and Fan Brad. On the floor I included a cute Resin Mouse with a Happy Birthday Bubble Brad. Next to the mouse is a Puppy Brad. The floor and ceiling were made with Wood Washi Tape.

 

Here's a complete shopping list for this card:

Saying Bubble Brads

Feline Brads

Book Brads

Telephone and Fan Brads

Mouse Resin

Puppy Brad

Wood Washi Tape

This was a fun card to make and very easy to create a bookshelf theme. What you put on your shelves is only limited by your imagination!

HBD! Happy Birthday!

Happy Friday, crafty friends!  I am still working on building my stash of birthday cards, and it is so fun and easy to do using brads, as there are endless possibilities!  

I have so many dog lovers in my life, so I made a card for one of them.  I started by wrapping a strip of white card stock with Dog Washi Tape.  I trimmed the front of my card base down and adhered the washi panel to the inside of the card base.  This allows the dogs to show on the front of the card when it is closed, and on the inside panel.

I wrapped another panel of white card stock with the washi tape and I die-cut the letters "h, b, d, and !" from that panel.  I adhered the HBD diagonally to a wood-grain kraft panel.   I embellished the panel with several of the Puppy Brads and Kennel Mix Brads before adhering to the card front.

I hope you are inspired to create something today!  This card was really a lot of fun to make!

Dog Days of Summer

The best cure for a "ruff" day is a lovely handmade card landing in one's mailbox; not for any particular reason, just because the sender was thinking of you! This one has an extra helping of cuteness thanks to our Eyelet Outlet Puppy Brads and a background made from two strips of extra wide Sky Washi and one of Grass Tape. A sweet Butterfly Brad has flown in to see what's going on.

Check out all of the beautiful new Washi Tapes in the Eyelet Outlet Store; they're the ones at the top of the page with an asterisk next to each!

Thank You Teacher!

 Hi everyone! Janet here with a cute little teacher appreciation card. In my area, next week is the official time to thank all the teachers in the District and that inspired me to make this card today.

Eyelet Outlet has so many animal brads. I have this bus stamp and die in my stash and I was delighted to find that the EO animals are sized to fit perfectly in the windows. I know that none of the teachers are going to get a card as fun and cute as this one! 

Have you noticed the great wide road, train track, water and sky washi tapes in the EO store? I have found so many great uses for them. They make it so easy to set a scene like I did here.

SHOPPING LIST:

Road Washi Tape

Live Laugh Woof!

 

It's Janet here with a friendship card celebrating man's best friend. This card was made with several fun products from the store. 

This is a gatefold card, meaning that a flap folds from the left side and the right so that they meet in the middle of the card front. I made a matching panel to put on top. Only the left side is glued to the left flap so that it opens with ease.

Once the card base was constructed, I placed a border of Dog Washi Tape across the top and the bottom of the flaps. Before I glued the center patterned cardstock on to the brown mat, I applied the Live and Woof stickers. I cut the O out of the Love sticker and used a Paw brad instead. I added the dog house from the Kennel Mix brad set and the tallest of the dogs from the Puppy brad set. The cool thing about this set is that it matches the dog washi tape so well! The final touch was Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

Once completed, I glued the center panel on the brown mat. This way the back side with the brad's prongs are covered with cardstock. Then I glued the left side of the finished center panel to the left flap. This is a quick way to utilize stickers to make a quick but cute card. I picked up the sticker set at the Dollar Tree so it was inexpensive as well as perfect for this card.

Wag-O-Meter

I really had fun with this little thank-you card using some of Eyelet Outlet's dog themed products! 

The "Wag-O-Meter" image is from Cricut's Paper Pups image set. I used the slice tool to take off the part of the image and then used curved text and print-then-cut tools to create the numbers.  

I embellished this card with one of the Eyelet Outlet puppy brads, an enamel arrow, paw print brads, wood grain washi tape, paw print washi tape, and skinny red washi tape.  

Check out the Eyelet Outlet online store for more dog-related brads and washi tapes and check back often, because you never know when even more great dogthemed products will be released!  😉

Social Distancing

Today's card is something a bit different for me.....we are living in fast-changing times with an unexpected virus that we are all dealing with in some way or another.  I am intrigued by the new words we have learned quickly in the last few months all related to the virus.   This card is called "Social Distancing".

The CDC definition for Social Distancing is highlighted on the card and my depiction of such is created by using the detailed Eyelet Outlet animal brads (see list below), a Black Jewel (for doorknob), and Yellow Skinny Washi Tape.  Today when we leave our homes, we find the yellow tape, red tape, or even black lines painted on the sidewalk instructing us where to stand while waiting in line.  Other card materials used include the Penny Black 'Slapstick Houses' stamp set.

This card is card 1 of a 6 card series.  Each week another 'new' word is highlighted and the Eyelet Outlet brads and more are there to create the scene.  Head on over to the Eyelet Outlet Site and pick up brads, bling, and more to create your scene cards!

Eyelet Outlet materials used:

Deer Brads

Horse / Pony Brads

Kitty Brads

Puppy Brads

Lion , Tiger, Zebra Brads

Calling All Dog Lovers!

Since we are staying in so much those of us with dogs are having extra bonding time with our furry friends. Today's card celebrates the dogs in our lives and our human friends as the same time! How can you go wrong? Plus it's gender neutral which is handy. It features the matching Dog Washi Tape and Puppy Brads. I also used a Black Matte Enamel Dot on the center of the paper bow. The Friends sentiment was cut four times and layered to get the chunky look I was looking for. I also used a dog paw embossing folder which is hard to see in the photo.
