Adventure Awaits

 

 Looks like vacation time is around the corner although I think
just about everyone I know is scheduled for a cruise soon.
I love these cruise ship brads and the red/white life preserver brads.
These are new to the Eyelet Outlet line sometime this month.

You could use these brads for all sorts of cards.
How about"cruisin by to say hi."  Here I used them for a travel card.
Used a sticker at the top and attached the lifer preserver brad. I really
went to town to embellish the bottom with a scalloped border, 
life preservers and the Blue bumpy jewels from Eyelet Outlet.

Summer Vibes

Summer in New Jersey can be pretty hot and very humid, but it's still my (Lauren's) favorite season, and here's a card that celebrates some of my favorite summer treats, in Eyelet Outlet Brad form! 

I used a favorite set of bold alphabet stencils and six sizzling shades of Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick, Mermaid Lagoon, Spiced Marmalade, Tumbled Glass, Mustard Seed and Twisted Citron to be precise) to write the word, "Summer" across my slimline-sized panel. I matted the whole thing on a piece of white cardstock covered in strips of Color Wheel Washi, then added a nice selection of brads, including: Beach Umbrella, Flip Flop Brads, Mini Ladybug, Cocktail Brads, Mini Emotion, Tall Palm, Sandcastle, Flamingo, Colored Daisy Brads, Mini Bees, Ice Cream, Sun and Pastel Sunglass Brads. I hope whatever your favorite Summer Vibes might be, that you'll enjoy a few of them today!

Dropping Anchor

Hello friends!  It seems that there's lots of ice and snow practically everywhere, but that doesn't stop me from longing for the sights and sounds of the ocean.  It has been a stressful week, and just the thought of sand between my toes is enough to calm the spirit and settle the "monkey mind!"  That sense of peace provides an anchor through the storm.

These supplies were strewn across my desk for another project (more on that another day!) but my heart had a detour in mind and I had to make this card first!  I am hoping that you got the feeling of the boardwalk and the fourth of July when you first saw it. 

  

The inside is reminiscent of the shorebirds patiently wading through the tide pool.  Kinda makes me  wanna go shell seeking or searching for sea glass!  Well...maybe when it's warmer!  ;)  

Here are the Eyelet Outlet supplies I used for this project:

• anchor brads
• seagull brads

If I had had it, I would have added some seahorse washi tape because the colors look like they'd work perfectly with this designer paper!  There are quite a few options for a beach themed, summer vacation card if you are longing for summer or if you're lucky enough to go for a winter getaway!  

Beach Bound

Hi Everyone!  It's Nancy from kandykrazee.

The warmer weather is finally here, and I am looking forward 

to even warmer, beach weather!

These beach themed brads from Eyelet Outlet are so cool and I had so much fun

putting together my gift bag with them.

I used the Sand dollar brads to attach the handle to the bag.  I also used the sand dollar

and Starfish brad to dress one of the tags and the Sandcastle brad on the other tag.

Want to dress up your projects with some summer themed brads.  Check out 

the Eyelet Outlet Store, to find these and many more summer themed brads.

Thanks for stopping by!
