Just a Note For A Friend
Hello friends! It may be October but here in the southern states, it's just the beginning of fall. The temps are still nice and warm and perfect for relaxing on the porch. It's a perfect time of year to be lazy and maybe even sneak in a little nap. That's what this gentleman is taking advantage of. He's got a cocktail and some wine, a stack of books, and is surrounded by plants including cacti in pots. He's got a hat covering his eyes while chilling out in a hammock. He appears to be enjoying life!
It's a lot of fun to use stamps in my stash to create scenes like this one. EO's brads always add a touch that just can't be gotten any other way. There's nothing like colorful EO embellishments to make a card unusual and unexpected.

Boo and Stuff
It's a BOO-tiful day to go a-haunting! Eyelet Outlet Ghost Brads have found the perfect house, and they've brought along a Black Cat Brad (for luck, of course) as well as a Pumpkin Brad, a Witch Hat and a couple of high-flying Bats. Mats of Spider Web Washi and Glitter Black Tape complete the design.

Wickedly Ghoulish Cake
This cake and table were made with dies from Cottage Cutz. It's a black forest cake with green glowing slime, I mean, frosting on top. I added several spooky brads from Eyelet Outlet to make it even more perfect for the occasion. After putting the dies together, I added some green glitter to the frosting. Then I cut an orange mat and a larger nested mat out of patterned paper. The purple mat was made by cutting a rectangle out of cardstock using a border scissor. Remember those? They definitely still are useful for quick mats and by rediscovering them I'm making some old tools new again!

The Day of the Dead (November 1st) is a remembrance and celebration of friends and family who have passed away and Sugar Skulls are one of the day's most beautiful symbols. This card features Eyelet Outlet Sugar Skull Brads, as well as Rose Brads, a Sunflower Brad and some Mini Bees; with Skull and Bones Washi Tape serving as the perfect background.
The Eyelet Outlet Online Store has all the brads, tapes, bling and enamels you could possibly wish for, whether you celebrate Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving or all of the above!

Take Me To Your Cake
Recently I was going through some older stamp sets I have and I came across the Beam Me Up set from Lawn Fawn. I thought it would be good fun to have the aliens try to beam up farm animals. Looking around, I came across the farm background stamp so decided to combine the two sets together with several EO brads to make this humorous take on an alien abduction.
After stamping the farming scene, I colored it with markers. Then I colored and cut out the UFO and beam. I also stamped and used white embossing powder for the sentiment strips. Next I cut the background with a stitched slimline die and cut a slightly larger mat in silver. I placed the UFO pieces in the scene and then added all the monster and farm animal brads. I also added a cupcake swirl brad. Then I glued the two slimline pieces together and glued it on to the front of a slimline card base.

Holiday Tags
Hello Ai Fans. So it's not even Halloween yet and here I am making Christmas tags! At first glance, it may seem crazy but as card makers and crafters, it's always good to work ahead. I recently purchased a set of tag dies and I knew these would be perfect to embellish with EO washi tapes, sequins, brads and bling.
First up, the Santa. His glittery red hat is made with Glitter Red Washi Tape. It's also decorated with a Clear Bumpy Brad and a Holly Brad. Inside the shaker, I included white sequins from the store.
The snowflake is also cut from Sparkle White Glitter Washi Tape. Inside I used Glitter Winter Washi Tape for the background and added blue and white sequins from the store. Once assembled, I also added three white Snowflake Bling pieces.

Hooray Floral Card
Hello everyone! Janet here with a fresh flower card that would be fitting for a birthday, a celebration, congratulations, or a note of thanks. The center mat was created with glitter paste and a stencil. Once dry, I cut it and a matching frame with a nested set of decorative frame dies. I added EO brads including Stitched Flowers, Butterflies, Sun and Cloud, and Ladybug. To ground it a little and add more bling, I added large Pearl Brads. The mix of printed flowers, clouds, and bees with the dimensional EO brads really makes this a pretty scene.
