Squeeze The Day

I knew I wanted to make a lemonade themed card, but I couldn't decide between a pitcher of lemonade or some glasses, so I made both.

Using my Cricut, I sliced an openings in each card for the pitcher and also for the glasses. I added some acetate to the back to create a window. I added the Eyelet Outlet lemon slice brads to the bottom layer and then used foam tape to adhere the window layer. This created lots of dimension to the card. On the card with the glasses I also added the pitcher of lemonade that is included in this brad set. There's lime and orange slices in this set, too!

Stop by the Eyelet Outlet store today and put some of these refreshing lemonade and fruit brads in your cart! There's a lot of possibilities with this set, in fact, I'm thinking of another idea as I write this! Don't forget to add some enamel hearts to your cart, too! 

 

Got Maps?

Before you recycle your paper maps, you should know that they are the perfect background for Eyelet Outlet Classic Car and Driving Brads! As well as cards, old maps work brilliantly as gift wrap; which, in this case, has been adorned with some EO Road Washi Tape to continue the car theme.

Musical Thanks

 
Hello and Happy Easter! My card today is a musical themed thank you card. I play flute at my church and the church pianist helps me pick music and practices with me, mostly out of the goodness of her heart and love of music. I’m always looking for a musical themed card to thank her after each time I play. This one works perfectly and the EO brads and bling make it extra special.

By the way, be sure to visit the EO store. ALL bling is now $1 until it’s gone. Take advantage of great deals and get your bling now!

So back to the card. This is on an A2 metallic gold card base. I cut a grand piano and a piano keyboard with dies. I made a strip border with white cardstock and added Instrument Washi Tape as an accent. I embossed a white panel with a thanks themed folder, then placed the washi tape accent on top. The keyboard and piano die are placed and then I add the accents. First are the Music Note Brads. Then I added yellow rose brads. The finishing touches are the 12mm Clear Jewels and White Pearl Bling. 

I love how this one turned out and I know my pianist will really appreciate this and will display it in her home. I can’t wait to give it to her!

SHORE Thankful For You

I've had my beach themed brads out on my craft desk the last few weeks and have had a great time creating different projects with them.

Today I have a thank you card to share with you featuring Eyelet Outlet's amazingly realistic shell brads and sea shore brads. I created sort of a shaker card with a window in the card base with my Cricut and covered the opening in the bottle with acetate. I fastened the brads in the bottom layer. There's a little crab brad passing by, too. I topped it off with a few clouds floating by in the sky and I love how this turned out!

Hoppy Easter One and All!

Easter is almost here and I'm so excited for it! Today's card is a sweet scene with all the things. And of course, the products from Eyelet Outlet make this card truly special.

To make my card, I started by creating a watercolor background on watercolor paper. Then I used a stencil to apply blue metallic paste in a paisley pattern. Once everything was dry, I cut it the panel down to fit on my card and began applying all the elements that make up this scene. I created a grassy hill with a die and added Tulip Brads. I colored a rabbit and made an egg with a grass background. The sentiment is stamped on the egg. Then I arranged Colored Egg Brads and Chick Brads to the scene. The final touches are two Butterfly Brads and several jewels in pink and blue. The result is the cutest Easter card full of pretty spring colors and adorable elements.

Smooth Sailing

 Here's a fun card for a summer birthday. I started with a lovely water color of a shore line and I used an Eyelet Outlet sail boat brad from the Boat & Lighthouse brad set for the "A" in the word, "happy."

See these brads and all of our beach, summer, vacation brads under the "Vacation Summer Brads tab on at Eyelet Outlet.com

Bloom For You Gift Tag

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a gift tag I decorated with Eyelet Outlet embellishments.  Eyelet Outlet has fun products to decorate your projects.

I used a circle tag die to create the tag base.  Then I decorated with paper flowers in green, pink, purple, and yellow.  Tip - layer the paper flowers off center in each layer to create a fuller look.  And use a ball stylus to shape the paper flowers and give them dimension.  I put a clear jewel brad in the center to hold all the paper flowers together.  I embellished the perimeter of the tag with jewel strips in green.

Handmade gift tags elevate gift packaging and make the recipient feel special.  I look forward to putting this tag on a gift for a loved one.  Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a fun gift tag.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

To Be Young Again

I celebrated my birthday last week with my family and a few days of keeping up with my 2 and 6 year old grandchildren had me thinking the "young" ship has definitely sailed and certainly inspired this project!

I loved this beach water color graphic from Cricut Design Space that I used for the back ground. I added a ship from Eyelet Outlet's cruise brad set, a palm tree on the shore and a sea shell corner brad. The sky was calling for one of our cloud brads, too. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
