Fin-tastic Greetings

 

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a fin-tastic card created with Eyelet Outlet brads and bling.  Eyelet Outlet has so many products to create fun projects with all kinds of themes.

I used a fish tank stamp and die set to create the fish tank.  I layered patterned cardstock behind the fish tank to resemble bubbles.  Then I filled the fish tank with fun fish brads, shell brads, sea shore brads, and blue jewels (bubbles).  I added blue enamel dots in the corners.

What a fun card!  The possibilities are endless with Eyelet Outlet products.  Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a fun project.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

At the Beach

 

The best place on a hot summer day is the beach. I composed
this beach scene with images from Peddlers Den and a
life guard station die cut. I colored the scene
with water colors.

Embellishments from Eyelet Outlet really
brough this scene to life. The brads include both the
flip flops and the sea shells. I topped off the life
guard station with the string pearls from Eyelet Outlet.

To finish up the card I used my favorite blue glitter
washi tape from Eyelet Outlet along with some 
pretty jewel brads.

Life is Better at the Beach

Life IS better at the beach, but the next best thing is a beautiful beachy card, bedecked with Eyelet Outlet Brads. Shell Brads, Shell Corners, Sea Shore, flying and standing Seagulls and Tall Palm Brads add coastal flavor to faux polaroids matted with Sparkle Gold Glitter Tape add glamor. A Wide Wood Washi background with a twine border is set off with colorful, old-school 1/8" Round Eyelets and a scattering of Multi-sized Pearls completes the design.

Shell Time

 

 Summer is my favorite season even though it is blazing hot here in the 

South. But we are close to the shore and we love to go hunt shells.

I could not wait to color this image from Simon Says and 

get to some fun embellishing From the Eyelet Outlet

The shell brads from Eyelet Outlet are fantastic and so realistic. In addition,
I added some gold glitter enamel dots to go with this color scheme. Finally I added
skinny glitter washi in gold to highlight the corners.

I love to make summer and sea related cards so you will be seeing 
more in the weeks ahead.

You're Palmtastic!

Happy Sunday! Today I am in a tropical kind of mood. In fact, I will be on the beach when this is published so I guess I'm manifesting my future in this card!

I recently got a tropical island die set so I created the card with it. Eyelet Outlet tropical brads takes the tropical them up a level. Here are the stops I took to make this card. I inked up a cloud background and two die cut clouds. I added Sun & Cloud Brads to add more color and dimension to the sky. Next, I made the palm tree and placed a Tropical Bird Brad on one of the branches. Then I got to work on the island. I added a Sand Castle Brad, two Shell Brads and a Lobster Brad. It's such a cute scene and easily made which is the best part!

I'm Here for you

Sometimes we need a card to remind someone that they matter and they care. That's what today's card is all about. I've used lots of Eyelet Outlet goodies on this one.

I've made a nautical scene featuring many of the sea and beach related brad sets carried by Eyelet Outlet. The focus of the card are the new Cruise Brads which will be available in the store soon. This set includes the red and white life rings and the cruise ships. They worked great on my nautical themed paper and portal. It was lots of fun to collage all the fun brads and a little bling together to create this scene.

My Punny Little Tags

Hi Ai Fans! Today I'm channeling two of our best Design Team Members - Lauren Bergold and Susan Creech. Lauren is known for her project series and Susan is the queen of puns. I combined a little of both in these tags. In total, I made a set of six gift or treat bag tags that can be used for kids of all ages. Today I'm sharing three of them.

 The puns were taken from the Think & Grin section of the October 2022 Scout Life magazine. They're silly and remind me of the days when the two most funny words to my son were, "Dirty Underwear!" The mere mention of underwear alone would send he and his friends into hysterical giggles. Those were the days! All the puns were submitted by Cub and Boy Scouts across the country. As I read the puns in the magazine, my mind automatically went to thinking about what brads would go with the jokes.
These tags are a result. 

In this one I've use the Computer and Headphone Brad Set and the Paw Brads. Silver Glitter Enamel Dots are also used.

In the next tag, I've used the Ghost Brads and White Glitter Enamel Dots.

And in my final tag, I've used the Crab & Lobster Brads and the Shell Brads as well as Red Glitter Enamel Dots.

SHOPPING LIST:
Computer & Headphone Brads
Paw Brads

Thanks for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers! Stop by next Sunday to see three more tags. It'll be a punny good time!

Chillaxin' at the Beach

 

Happy Sunday and welcome to a day at the beach! Since I can't make a trip to my happy place, I decided to make a beach scene I wish I could live in! I really enjoyed making this project and it was made extra special with Eyelet Brads and Washi Tapes! 

I used the Spellbinder's July Small Die of the Month to make the woman, towel, bag and hat. Her floral swimsuit and matching tote were made with Flower Washi Tape. I first put a strip of the washi on white cardstock and then I cut the pieces with the dies. The flowers are just the perfect size for these pieces. 

The water in this background couldn't have been easier. I used two strips of Water Washi Tape. It looks so realistic doesn't it? Then I cut the sand out in kraft cardstock and added texture with fine tipped black and white pens. I attached the lady to the sand and then set the Shell Brads and the Wine Glass Brad. 

I applied the sand and lady to the card base overlaying the Water Washi. Then I added two Flip Flop Brads and the Wine Bottle Brad. I added the final sentiment to finish the card.

Summertime and the Livin' Is Easy!

Hi everyone! It's Janet with a summertime beachy card for you today. We are gearing up for 90+ degrees this upcoming week and all I can think about is the beach. As is often the case, my cards are inspired by what is going on around me and this card is no exception. I used patterned paper and sand embossing powder to create the scene that I tucked the brads into. It looks just like the place I'll wish I am this week!

There are a ton of beach related brads and washi tape in the EO Store. I've used just a few.

Hearts over Maine

So many of my friends vacationed in Maine last summer.

Here is my hommage to their travels!

I'm sure my sister is going to love it!

Life Really is Better in Flip Flops

Amongst the new Eyelet Outlet Summer Brad release are Flip Flops, which come with three colors in each pack: brown, black and hot pink. Amazingly enough for me (Lauren) I didn't use the pink ones first??!

Rest assured that pink is still my favorite color, but in this case, as I worked on the card, these ancient cork alphabet stickers, plus our beautiful Shell Brads, Shell Corners and Sea Shore Brads meant my card was becoming distinctly neutral and natural, so I opted for the brown Flip Flops this time. A scattering of pearls finishes off my slimline shoreline card design.

Other new releases include our Boat and Lighthouse Brads, White Daisy Brads and Dragonfly Brads. Be sure to check back often to see inspiring ideas from the design team!

Smooth Sailing

The new Eyelet Outlet Boat and Lighthouse Brads could not be more appealing, and I (Lauren) can think of so many ways to use them! For example, how about a ship... or in this case a sailboat, lol... in a bottle?

I made a little background from paper scraps to represent sky, sea, sand and a bit of a cliff. Then I stamped my mason jar on top in Archival ink and cut it out. Inside the jar, I added a Boat and a Lighthouse Brad as well as the Sun from our Sun and Cloud set; to the foreground of the card I affixed one each of the three styles of Shell Brads. My sticker sentiment wishes the recipient, "Smooth Sailing Ahead"... and I think we could all use more of that, right?!

Gulls Just Wanna Have Fun

Eyelet Outlet Seagull Brads, that is. And in this case, they're having their fun on two three-inch-square Inkbox Cards I (Lauren) made especially to hold them. I love that the Seagull Brads have two poses, so I decided they should each be the star of one card. And since I was dying to use my new softly metallic Ocean Tape, I'd pair it with Script Washi and some Glitter Skinny Tape to make a foreground for both.

The first card features the distance flying seagull up in the "sky" of the card and down on the washi tape beach I've clustered a Shell Corner Brad, as well as both the starfish and sand dollar from the Sea Shore Brad set.

The standing up seagull is the star of the second card, and he's standing next to a cluster of all three Shell Brads. I felt like it needed one more thing for balance, and you'd be surprised how often our Sun and Cloud Brads fit the bill on that score; which is why they are consistently on my "most used brads" list; along with Hearts and Snowflakes!

Let's SHELLabrate!

Eyelet Outlet has many ocean/beach themed brads, but my very favorite are the Shell Brads!  This is probably because they remind me of the thousands of shells I picked up along the shores of Lake Erie when I was a girl.

Today I used a couple to dress my darling little mermaid as well as adding a mini stitched flower brad to her hair.  Isn't she cute?!

The mermaid is from Cricut's "Makers Gonna Make" image set and the pretty shell themed papers are a digital paper pack from Jo Kavanagh Designs on Etsy. A few more shells in the sand next to her and we're ready to SHELLabrate Summer!

how the SHELL are you?

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Well, another week has come and gone, and another Saturday has rolled around! Time is literally flying by! Leslie here sharing a super fun note card featuring two kinds of shell brads and fun fish brads in the store, which were just the ticket to pair with this adorable new stamp set in my stash! I see a mass-produced card set to give as a gift in my near future, lol!

This CAS card design was an easy one. It just required a little bit of stamping and coloring on a trimmed layering panel, a light layer of distress ink for a smidgeon of color, and the addition of the Shell Brads, Sea Shore Brads and Fish Brads. I also added seashell Crystal Drops to the pearl in the shell. You can't see it in the pic, but I popped the panel up on blue craft foam. I love using colored craft foam under white layers because that pop of color peeking out from underneath is so fun!

I layered the blank inside panel on blue cardstock to tie in the water element, and since this is a note card, I left plenty of room to write a custom message. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!
