This one features Eyelet Outlet Shell Brads, Sea Shore Brads, Sun and Clouds, Sandcastles, Tall Palm Trees, Seagulls and Sunglass Brads.

Beach, Please!

Life IS better at the beach and summery cards ARE better with Eyelet Outlet Summer Vacation beachy brads! Both of these beachy keen cards feature our Shell Corner Brads and have twine accents strung through a trio of colorful old school 1/8" Round Eyelets; with mats of Shell Washi and extra wide Sky Tape.

The first card also features both shapes from our Seagull Brad Set as well as both Sun and Cloud from that set. 

The second card has a pair of Flip Flops, a Sandcastle and a white Anchor Brad... the latter is masquerading as postage.

Did you know that in addition to the regular search feature, the lefthand side of the Eyelet Outlet Homepage has lots of handy categories like Vacation/Summer; Birds, Bugs and Critters; Food, Drink and Cooking; Animals and lots more; super useful for those times when you'd like to see a lot of options at once!

Have a Killer Birthday!

I was perusing Pinterest this week in my spare time - well, actually, I should have been folding clothes, but let's let that be our little secret!  😉  Anyway, I found several fun fold cards to try.  I especially loved this shadow box card, also known as a diorama card.  It's such a cool technique because it carries the fun elements of a card into the inside!

This is the front of my first shadow box card.  These print-then-cut sharks from Cricut's "Adorable Sharks" image set are just THAT!  Adorable! 

I added a sand dollar brad from the Sea Shore brad set to my sea floor and some coordinating washi tape.  I also embossed my background paper with a wave embossing folder.

Here comes the fun when you open the card!

The shadow box feature on the inside adds lots of fun, interest, and dimension!  Embellishing the inside has so many possibilities, too!  I added an Eyelet Outlet Starfish brad and Sea Shell Brad.  Aren't these pretty brads?  They look so real!

Here's a close up!  

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you're enjoying the weekend with those you love!
