Where the Buffalo Roam

 

I'm a fan of nature cards and today's card has a national parks theme. Buffalo, mountains, and pine trees all make me think of parks like Yellowstone.

My card is made with several great brad mainstays in the EO store. After making the primary cardstock elements, I simply added the brads to give it more interest, texture and dimension.

Sun & Clouds Brads
Buffalo Brads

A Little Something To Uncork

 

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a fun wine themed gift bag created with Eyelet Outlet brads and bling.  Eyelet Outlet has so many products to create cards for many occasions.

I used a gift bag die to create the bag.  Then I added wine washi tape, wine brads, and pearl bling.  I used winter quicklet eyelets to reinforce the holes for the ribbon handles. The gold pattern tissue elevates the bag even further.

This would be a great bag for the wine connoisseur in your life.  The possibilities are endless with Eyelet Outlet products.  Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a fun project.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

Then Sings My Soul

 My thoughts turned to my Dad the other day and I fondly remembered how he whistled the lovely old hymn, "How Great Thou Art" as he worked splitting and stacking fire wood. And since I have heard that the angels are near when cardinals appear, this card practically made itself. 

Surrounding the first words of the chorus is a simple wreath that I embellished with Eyelet Outlet music note brads. To the pine branch, I added one of our pinecone brads and a cardinal brad. The enamel heart brought it home. ❤

This week, instead of my photo at the bottom of the post, here's a picture of Dad. Most likely he was whistling in this photo.

Wise Owl

 This might sound a little sarcastic, but I think my wise older brother can handle it! I haven't used the Eyelet Outlet sketched owl brad very much and I don't know why! He's so cool!

I wanted some more dimension and shine, so I added some of our silver glitter stars and dots to the night sky. The night sky background as well as the branch are from the Cricut image library.

Liquidation is under way at Eyelet Outlet, so stop by and fill your cart with these and many other amazing products!

Oh Hello!

 Today's card is inspired by a visit with a friend to the nail salon. It felt like such a girlie girl morning that I decided it would be fun to use that theme in today's card.

I started this one with a preprinted frame that said Oh Hello! It was included in a paper pad and the girl in her sunglasses was included in a patterned paper. I fussy cut her out and added a crown from the Crown & Tiara Brads. Then I added the Sun & Cloud brads, the Women's Eye Glass Brads, and the Shoe & Purse Brads.

It was a lot of fun to create this little diva card. The EO store has just the brads to make my card really pop. I think I'm going to give it to the friend who invited me along this morning. I think she'll enjoy it.

You’re A Cut Above

You're going to want to grab a few law mower brads while they're still available! I used one on this project to let a great dad know that he's a "Cut Above the Rest!" 

I chose a big bold font and then sliced the word, "Dad," from a grass digital pattern in Cricut Design Space and added the lawn mower brad to the word. 

Eyelet Outlet's lovely colored daisy brads in the yard added a bright a cheerful touch. The package contains pink, purple, and yellow daisies. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you've found some fun ways to honor dad as the team has brought lots of fun inspiration this week.

You're so AL "LURE" ING!

Why wait for Valentine's Day to send your sweetie a love note?! Let them know how hooked you are today with this punny fishing themed card. 

Use one of Eyelet Outlet's fishing lure brads to convey how alluring they are to you and carry the theme forward with a wide mouth bass brad on the line. The fishing pole I used is from the Cricut image library, as is the little pond. I used one of cat tail brads from our frog brad set. It wouldn't be a love note without a heart, so I added a little black enamel heart. 

 

Con-GRAD-ulations!

This month, in my (Lauren's) family, we have two nieces graduating from college, and a nephew graduating from high school. Which called for a single flexible design that could be customized for three different personalities. As it turns out, I have *NO* graduation stamps or dies. (HOW is that possible?!) But... large numeral dies and colorful alphabet stickers on notebook paper make an excellent base, and I personalized each version with lots of Eyelet Outlet Brads. Since there are 42 brads from 18 different sets across the three designs, I'm going to just mention them below in the Shopping List section!

Take Me!

 Some days we all feel like we've had enough of crazy! Here's a funny little card that will cheer someone who can relate.

For this card I had planned to put two aliens in the space ship, but I realized I only had one left in my stash, so I opted for his buddy, a one-eyed monster brad and I think it worked great! I added a little red bling to the space ship and they're ready for take off! But will they return for the little girl who is begging to go?
