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."

On the shore I used our sea shore brads set which includes a sand dollar and a starfish. 

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

Happy Summer crafting, Eyelet Outlet fans!

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.

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!

Egg-Cellent Birthday!

 I've never been particularly fond of eggs, so when I saw this phrase in Cricut Design Space, I knew right away it was for me! Cake is most certainly my favorite way to consume eggs!

For this card, I naturally used a couple of our egg brads and paired them up with a few of our cupcake brads. I chose a cute mixing bowl image from Cricut Design Space and it had a row of cut out hearts on it. After I cut it out, I realized the hearts were the exact size of the smallest hearts in our Heart Brads package, so I used the opportunity to add more texture and interest to the card by adding 5 little white hearts to the mixing bowl.

I'm looking forward to giving this card to my dear friend next month!

A Sweet Cherry Pie Birthday Celebration

 
There is something inherently joyful about a card that moves. While a standard card is a lovely gesture, an interactive card is an experience. Today, I sat down at my craft desk to play with one of my favorite layouts: the Interactive Swing Card.

It’s such a whimsical style—as the recipient opens it, the center elements "swing" or flip, adding that perfect "wow" factor. For this project, I leaned into a theme of pure celebration: all things sweet and festive!

To bring this card to life, I focused on classic birthday icons—pie, balloons, and candles. Here is how the details came together:

• The Main Attraction: In the first swinging circle, I featured a delicious-looking slice of cherry pie topped with a dollop of whipped cream. To give it a 3D pop, I used Glitter Enamel Dots and a Cupcake Swirl Brad as a garnish. It looks good enough to eat!

• Up and Away: In the second circle, I placed three Balloon Brads. To tie them together, I hand-drew delicate black balloon strings and anchored them at the bottom with a Burnished Star Brad.

• The Sentiment: No birthday card is complete without a wish! I embellished the sentiment with two Birthday Candle Brads to keep the theme glowing.

• The Finishing Touch: I couldn't resist a little sparkle. I added Red Jewel Bling across the card to catch the light and add that final festive flair.

Swing cards are surprisingly sturdy despite their movement, and they provide the perfect "window" to showcase two different focal points. Whether it’s a slice of pie or a cluster of balloons, this layout keeps the viewer engaged from the moment they pull it out of the envelope.

Pro-Tip: When using brads on a swing card, make sure to flatten the prongs completely or cover them with a small piece of decorative paper on the reverse side to ensure a smooth "swing" every time!

Retro Day

In honor of National Retro Day tomorrow, I thought I'd celebrate a couple of our awesome retro themed brads. First up, our old fashion telephone!

I've had this telephone themed patterned scrap paper in my stash for quite some time and today was the day to use it. The retro looking woman talking on the phone is from the Cricut image library and using print then cut, I created two circles and added a couple of our telephone brads. This was a quick and simple card, perfect for catching up with an old friend.

Next up, our classic antique typewriter brad is taking center-stage on an antique desk. I printed off a little love note message to tuck in behind the typewriter. I also added a vase of flowers to the desk using our mini stitched fall flowers. and as I often do, I topped this project off with an enamel heart in black.

Since I'm old enough to have talked on a phone like this and I learned to type on a typewriter similar to this one, does that make me retro?

Brads include: Party Hat, Candle, the Unicorn from our Unicorn and Rainbow Set, Cupcake Swirl, Gift Brads, Star Brads and a Heart.
