If The Shoe Fits

When the shoes fit, you know you need to go ahead and buy all the accessories to match, right?! Here's a fun little Halloween card for a gal pal 

When I saw this sentiment in the Cricut image library I knew right away that Eyelet Outlet brads would take it to the next level. I used witch leg brads, witch hat brad, and a broom brad for loads of interest on this card.  

Eyelet Outlet has everything you need for your autumn projects, so be sure and stock up now so you'll be ready when the leaves begin to fall.

 

Candy Corn Delight

 I can hardly believe that Halloween weekend is next week! Time does indeed fly doesn't it? Guess what else flies? Well, a witch of course and it happens to be the theme of my card for you today.

I used several Halloween washi tapes and brads to make a fun gate fold card. To begin, I cut the candy corn shapes out of colored cardstock on my Cricut machine. This is an easy shape and you could also easily sketch the candy corn shape and cut the pieces out. I used yellow and orange cardstock for the bottom layers. The washi tape I chose has a white background but the yellow and orange cardstock colors peak through the background of the washi tape. This allows me to get the traditional color scheme for candy corn. 

I used three washi tapes for the side panels. On the left is Skull Washi Tape and Boo Washi Tape. On the right I used a single strip of Wide Wood Washi Tape. The bottom layer of the candy corn is Gnome Fall Washi Tape. The middle layer is Hat and Broom Washi Tape. The top is Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape. 

I used many brads on the right panel. They include the Vacuum and Broom Brads, Bat Brads, Witch Hat Brads and Witch Leg Brads. This wouldn't be my card if I didn't add some bling so the final touch are Orange Pearl Bling from the multi pack. The entire list of products are below.

Welcome to Booville!

 I have been thinking about my Halloween cards lately and I knew I wanted to do something with a haunted house. I didn't want it to be a scary house though. I think I succeeded with this shaped card. The house is from the Cricut library. I adapted it so it could be a shape card. I used some black Stickles to give the house a little sparkle. It helps I think to make it even less scary.

I used many Halloween products on this card from the store and the Vacuum and Broom Brads which are definitely not typically Halloween. It works though! I even used two Pumpkin Sequins on the stoop.

This was really a lot of fun to create. Notice that the homeowner left her vehicle on the step. I guess if you drive something compact enough, you really don't need a garage! Ha ha ha!

Witch Shaker Card

Shaker cards are a lot of fun to make and Eyelet Outlet's awesome sequin collection makes filling them even more fun!

Today my witch has gone head first into a cauldron of beautiful purple round sequins and our purple stick on gems are bubbling up around her.  Aren't these witch leg brads just the cutest things ever?  I've also added a witch's hat and a broom brad to this card.

I created this card on my Cricut and if you've got a Cricut and would like to make it, too, I've shared the file for it on my Cricut Profile.  

Thanks for stopping by today and if you're in the San Marcos, Texas are this weekend, stop by the vender fair at the Creating Keepsakes Convention and pick up all the brads, gems, and sequins for this card.

Spoiler Alert: It Ends with "Zebra"

Yes, we've come to the fourth and final post of the Eyelet Outlet Alphabetical Brad ATC's! It's so exciting, I'm going to show off the entire set and then we'll talk about the letters S through z.

And here are the individual cards, with all their brad styles listed:

S: Safety Pins, Shells (in the form of Shell Corners, Shells and Seashore Brads), the Sun from our Sun and Cloud set, one of two styles of Sunglass Brad, and a Sleigh direct from the North Pole. 

T: A Tractor Brad is a fine addition to any haul, while Tissues (and TP) come from the Toilet Paper and Tissue Brad set, (Summer) Trees, Tool Brads are great, but of course they need a Toolbox.

U and V: The U.S.A. is represented by our Patriotic Flag and Hat Brads, and the Utensils are called Silverware Brads, but the Unicorn is from the Unicorn and Rainbow set; a Vacuum from the Vacuum and Broom Brads (on sale!), both halves of the Video Game set and a Valise which is technically the Suitcase from our Travel Set.

W: A lovely Wreath, some Water Lillies from the Frog set, a champagne toast from the Wedding Brads, a Witch Hat and some Witch Legs.

X, Y and Z: An Xmas Tree (technically listed as a Pine Tree Brad) and a Skull Brad who's standing in as an X-ray; these cute Yellow Jackets are actually Bumble Bee Brads (there are Mini Bee Brads also) and the Yolk is in the center of the Fried Egg from our Bacon, Egg and Toast Brads; finally we've got Zinfandel from the Wine Brad set and a Zebra from the second Jungle Mix, called Lion, Tiger Zebra Brads. 

That concludes our EO Brad Alphabet, but of course there are lots more brads (plus washi tape, bling, flowers and more!) in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store; and be sure to consult the sidebar and look for the EO Booth at a tradeshow near you!

Timely ATCs

Here's a very Lauren-y story: I saw Taylored Expressions' set of funny Covid19 digital sentiments and especially loved the one about jeans. Eyelet Outlet make a fab set of Jeans and Tee Shirt Brads, so I decided to make a fast card combining them. As it turns out, I have EVERY color of Tee Shirt Brad, but... (can you see where this is going?!) ...not even one pair of jeans left! Argh! As it turned out, I did have brads that worked with three of the other sentiments, so the day was saved!

Before I talk about the ATCs I'll just mention that the sentiments are a free download from the Taylored Expressions Website, you just have to make a (FREE!) account, sign in, add the Big Grumpy Covid19 Sentiments to your cart, and check out. You'll get an email with a link to the download; easy-peasy, not even a credit card required! They're in a pdf format, which you can then print out on the paper or cardstock of your choice. My first ATC uses the "Stay Home" sentiment, which I printed on white cardstock and just trimmed down to fit in the patterned paper frame. I added a Computer and Headphones at opposite corners, and made my 2.5 x 3.5" Artist Trading Card based from patterned paper in coordinating colors... one piece even has little houses on it!

The "Messy House" sentiment seemed perfect to pair with our Vacuum and Broom Brads. This time I only framed up the brads, and set them above the sentiment, which I had printed on clear ink jet labels and stuck to this fun ledger-print paper. Again I found a sweet pattern of little houses, this time as a background. 

 

I'm sort of excited about the third ATC, which uses the "Shampoo" sentiment, because I don't think I've ever before used the EO Brush and Hair Dryer Brads! But they really are just right for this. Again I put one at each corner, so that the sentiment takes center stage.

Thank you Taylored Expressions for the inspiration and the fun sentiments! And thank you Eyelet Outlet for literally having a brad for EVERY occasion!

Juggling It All

Today's make is a tribute to my amazing daughters who manage their busy lives like professional jugglers!

I chose a juggling animal (in high heels no less!) from Cricut's Birthday Bash image set, but instead of balls, I substituted several different Eyelet Outlet brads to represent just a few of the things these two gals successfully juggle in their daily lives, from diapers to dinner and everything in between!

It was honestly hard to narrow down the brads to use in this card, because there are so many in the Eyelet Outlet store that would have been perfect, but for the sake of space, I decided on the diaper pin, books, soccer ball, vacuum cleaner and saucepan.  I substituted the original party hat on the image with an Eyelet Outlet party hat and used our enamel dots for buttons.

Tell someone you love that's juggling it all how much you admire them today!  

After winter, comes spring!

Life Would Suck Without You

I love - really really love - the adorable little vacuum sweeper brad in the new release of brads at Eyelet Outlet! It's just about the cutest vacuum ever - not that I'm an expert of vacuum sweepers. Sheesh! My floors can attest to that. D-I-R-T-Y floors prevail at my house. But I digress.

Just look at those brads - the vacuum and the broom are both so cute! (Wouldn't the broom be fun with a witch-themed Halloween card?!?!?!)

For. another. day. Today, it's all about the vacuum sweeper. 

I used the life sucks without you stamps from my Sunny Studio That Sucks stamp set because I thought they were a funny way to use that awesome brad.

Now... not only do I love the brad, I also love Washi Tape! It is such a versatile item. For instance look at this card. Do you see the Washi Tape on it? Of course, you do... it's all the red on the panel behind the tag. That's really a piece of black and white striped designer paper but I wanted color on it, so I added strips of skinny washi tape. 

The Skinny Washi Tape actually fit perfectly on the white space of that striped designer paper, but I offset it a little so I could see a wee bit of the white, just because I liked that look better.

Eyelet Outlet Products Used:

Skinny Washi Tape

Vacuum and Broom Brads

Now if Eyelet Outlet would just come out with a little Maid Brad that could use that Vacuum. I'd buy it for sure and have it vacuum my floors for me. Anybody else think that's a good idea???

Another good idea would be if you'd head over to the Eyelet Outlet online store and check out all of the goodies there.

Witch Fun!

I had fun creating this stair step card with Eyelet Outlet's Witch Leg Brads, Witch Hat Brad, and Broom Brad!  I used tomb stones from the Cricut Mini Monsters and Wrap It Up cartridges and with the help of print then cut, created some funny text for them. But the star of this card is definitely the witch flying into the tree on her Eyelet Outlet Broom Brad! 

I had some more fun with this little riddle card!  My "twins" are from the Cricut Mini Monsters cartridge, but I made a few modifications and embellished them with the Eyelet Outlet Witch Hats, Witch Legs, Round Jewel Brads, and Broom Brads.  

Here's the answer....

Thanks for stopping by today!  

Silly Jokes!

If my dad were still with us I can well imagine what he'd have to say right now!  He'd say, "You can stay, but those jokes gotta go!" I've had so much fun creating silly joke cards this week for the children in my life and today I'm going to share a few with you!

This one is my favorite!  Who would have thought I could create a card that pairs the new Eyelet Outlet Ghost Brad, Fishing Pole Brad, and Fish Brad in the same card!? 

The answer?  Lake Eeerie, of course!  

Next up these adorable twin witches started with a witch image from Cricut Mini Monsters cartridge, but Eyelet Outlet brads took them to the next level!  I embellished them with Witch Hat Brads, Witch Leg Brads, Broom Brads, and Round Jewel Brads.

The Answer?  You never know which witch is which!

Now when I heard this joke I knew immediately I had a card to create using the Cricut Faucet Brad from the Pipe Brad Set!  The tomato and lettuce are Cricut images from the Freshly Picked cartridge and the race track image is from Sports Mania.  

The answer?  The lettuce was a head, the faucet was running, and the tomato was trying to ketchup!

We all need a little fun in our lives, don't you think?  I hope you've been inspired to make a silly joke card for someone you love or maybe to donate to a charity that collects cards for hospitalized children who need some good cheer.

Halloween Cheer!

For all of you who are fans of fall,

where is a festive trio celebrating the season!

Here I used Eyelet Outlet's new Rake brad along with Mini Leaf brads.

What a great duo!!

A bit of a film strip look to show case new Hallween brads!

How do you like those Ghost brads?

The Broom Brad is also new...and pairs well with the Witch Leg brads!

Our mini brads make a big punch. Check out the candy corn and mini spider brads.

Any witch will get a kick out of this cautionary card.

Eyelet Outlet purple glitter washi tape adds a nice touch.
