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. 

SHOPPING LIST:
Cow & Goat Brads

Monster Brads

Pig & Sheep Brads

Cupcake Swirl Brads

Chicken Brads

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.

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. 

SHOPPING LIST:

Snowflake Bling White

I Fought The Lights

I for one am thankful for my artificial pre-lit Christmas tree because before that marvelous invention, when I fought the lights, the lights always won!

I used Eyelet Outlet's popular Holiday lights brads in this card as well as some fun images from the Cricut image library. Don't you just love that deer all tangled up in lights?

I created this card in Cricut Design Space with a bit of slicing, welding, and print-then-cut.  If you're a Cricut crafter, too, and would like to make this card, I have shared the file on my Cricut profile with the Cricut community within Design Space.  

Witch Way to the Candy?!

Nothing says, "Happy Halloween" as well as a witch-shaped shaker card full of Eyelet Outlet Pumpkin Sequins, am I right? Especially one that features the fab new Black Cat and Candy Corn Brads, as well as Spider and Pumpkin Brads not to mention that beautiful new Spider Washi Tape.

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.

Angel Christmas Card

Good Thursday morning, Eyelet Outlet followers!  I've been playing around with a little fancy fold card style this week and here's what I've came up with so far.

I used shapes and images from the Cricut image library to create this card and I thought the brand new little angel brads from Eyelet Outlet were the perfect embellishment. I also made the star from Eyelet Outlet silver glitter washi tape and added a little clear bling to the sky.

If you're a Cricut crafter, too, I've made this file available to the Cricut community on my Cricut Profile.

I used Corner Brads in the upper corners and I also added black enamel dots to the bottom corner.

Today lets "belly up to the bar" with our popular beer brads.  I created a really fun birthday (or BEERTHDAY) card for my favorite guy in the world. There's bottled or frosty mugs in this brad set.

I used a strip of solid black washi tape to create my bar. Eyelet Outlet has the most amazing washi tape selection anywhere around and so many gorgeous patterned ones, but you'd be surprised how frequently I reach for a solid washi tape, so be sure to put a few colors in your cart before you check out!

Harvest Thanks

 

Happy Saturday Eyelet Outlet fans!! I'm definitely into fall right now and EO always has just what you need to make cards great no matter the theme. Today, I have a harvest themed card that features EO's Scarecrow Brads, Rooster Brads, Pumpkin Brads, Sunflower Brads, and Orange Pearl Bling.When I run across unique ephemera like the one I used here, I can't help but get excited about how great EO products will elevate it into something even better and do it so easily! 

To create the scene, I cut a gold stitched mat for my A2 card. I made a frame by nesting 2 other stitched frames together before running them through my die cut machine. I ran a piece of chocolate cardstock through a wood 3-D folder and cut it to fit inside the orange frame. I stamped and heat embossed the word Thankful on dark purple cardstock, and stamped and cut the For You sentiment.

I layered all these pieces together and glued the ephemera in place. I added all the brads and pearl bling to make a really great harvest scene that I look forward to mailing off to family soon! 

SHOPPING LIST:
Scarecrow Brads
Sunflower Brads
Rooster Brads
Pearl Bling Multi-Orange

Furry Friend Halloween Card

I'm a grandma to 4 kiddos as well as a few granddogs. I typically remember them at Christmas with a toy or treat, but today I decided the granddogs needed a Halloween treat, as well.

This darling sentiment as well as the bulldog are images from the Cricut image library. An Eyelet Outlet witch hat brad is serving as the dog's Halloween costume and he's out trick-or-treating for some yummy treats.  I added a paw brad and a dog bone from our Kennel Brad Mix to the sentiment. And when you're loading your cart at Eyelet Outlet, be sure and add some of our fantastic wide grass washi tape! I can honestly say it's my fav of all the amazing tapes we offer.

Thanks for stopping in and be sure to check out all our dogs and dog themed products at Eyelet Outlet.

If you're a Cricut crafter and would like to give this project a try, visit my Cricut Profile in Cricut Design Space for file.

Grateful Forest

Hi everyone and welcome to our Sunday blog post here at Eyelet Outlet! I'm always on the lookout for dies, card kits and designs that allow me to show off EO brads, bling, and flowers. Today I have a shadow box card that I made using dies and patterned paper from Crafter's Companion. When I saw the woods die, I knew I would just have to put EO's Sketch Owls in the scene. I used another owl as the center of my twine bow. I added Leaf Brads and placed them to look like they are falling in the forest. To get that look, I inserted the brad portion through already created holes in the tree trunks made by the die. It couldn't have been easier! I created the large mushrooms with dies to frame this scene. They were calling me to snuggle in a couple of the Girl Gnome brads so I listened. How cute!

I encourage you to take a look at your collection of dies and stamps and think about what EO products you have or would like to get that would make your good projects even better. They will elevate your projects every time and make them stand out!

EO PRODUCTS USED:

Sketched Owls Brads

Happy Thanksgiving

The first day of Autumn is only a few weeks away, so let's start thinking about Thanksgiving! Here's a card I made to send to loved ones who live far away to let them know I am thankful for them.  

I cut the large red leaves on my Cricut and then I spritzed them with some water, wadded them up in a ball, and carefully unfolded them and allowed them to dry.  The finished result is a lovely crinkled leaf that looks like it just fell from a mighty oak in the forest.  

I  added a few acorn brads and some pearl bling to the brown branch in the background. I finished my card off with a few oak leaf brads from the leaf brad set.  

We hope you'll pick up some Eyelet Outlet products for your fall projects and tag us when you share pictures of your projects on social media!
