Hang In ThereI

I'm so crazy about these new cat brads at Eyelet Outlet!  I couldn't wait to start creating with them!

I created this window with curtains in Cricut Design Space and added the cat brads climbing on the window blinds.  If you are a Cricut crafter, too, I've shared the file for this card on my Cricut Profile.  Here's a link to the project. 

See all of the newly released brads at Eyelet Outlet by clicking on the New Brads 2024 tab on our website and follow us in the coming weeks as the Design Team inspires you with projects!

Boo! Candy Corn and Cats

 I know it's only July but as card makers, we tend to think ahead for the next season. Such is the case for today's Halloween themed card. I am so excited to have two new brads available in the newest release from Eyelet Outlet. The first is Candy Corn Brads. They are a great size and true to the colors of that traditional candy treat. Cats Brads - Black are also new. They fit wonderfully in Halloween cards but can also have year long application. The cats have either white or neon green eyes so I feel that the green eyed cats are perfect for the spooky season and the white eyes are for year around use.

In this card, I have the cats peaking around the edge of the pumpkin and handing out at the opening. The standing cat also works nicely at the base. Two of the peaking cat styles are not full bodies which make it very handy to get the look of them peaking without having to hide the full body. This card also features the Bat Brads and Halloween Washi-Hat and Broom. 

The Candy Corn Brads stack nicely with the Peppermint Candy Brads. Although you might think these are for winter holidays, the purple and yellow peppermints are actually perfect colors for Halloween too! The stacked look of the brads, including the cat work really well on the Halloween Pumpkin which I cut from Cricut Design Space. Overall, this was a quick card to put together, especially when the brads and washi tape do most of the work!

Vintage Christmas Angels

Today I have another version of the Vintage Christmas card I shared with you last week.  This little story book from KB and Friends Etsy shop took me back to Little Golden Books that my mom would read to me. I added Eyelet Outlet Gold Foil Star washi tape to the edge and since this little book cover had cherubs on the front, it was the perfect opportunity to introduce you to Eyelet Outlet's brand new cherub brads!

The cherubs are hanging some holly across the top of the card and I added a poinsettia brad to the greenery and some red gems.

The vintage children around the Christmas tree are Cricut images and I added some die cut greenery with Eyelet Outlet ornament brads and finished off with a gift brad.

Stay tuned friends, we're rolling out more new products this week and know you'll want to add them to your cart when you shop Eyelet Outlet!

 

TREE-Mendous!

The TREE-Mendous new Eyelet Outlet Retro Tree Brads have arrived just in time to celebrate Christmas in July!

 This card features a cluster of said Retro Trees layered over Snowy Trees for a feeling of depth, creating a little forest glade in which the vintage-inspired deer from our Santa and Deer set feels right at home. The background consists of neatly aligned strips of Holly Jolly Washi in traditional red and green.

Shopping List:

Retro Trees

Snowy Trees 

Santa and Deer

 Holly Jolly Washi 

In addition to these fabulous Retro Trees, the brand new July Release also includes vintage-inspired Angel Brads, Candy Corn and Black Cats. Check them out in the EO Store.

A Day Full of Treats

Hi everyone! I hope you have been enjoying eh weekend. Today my card has gone to the dogs! If you like dogs, I think you will like this one.

I started with a stamped image of a row of dog houses. After coloring and cutting it out, I created a base to put it on made with Wood Washi Tape. This is a mini-slimline card so I cut a background in light blue and ran it through an embossing folder. Then I used some ink to make the embossed design pop out a little more. I glued the wood and houses to it and then began to add all the dog-gone goodness with brads. I used four different sets for this. See below for the links of all the products used.

SHOPPING LIST:

Dog Brads (dog heads) 

Puppy Brads

Paw Brads

Kennel Mix Brads (dish, house & bone)

Old Fashioned Christmas

I love vintage and retro looking images and when I saw these holiday story book covers that look like Little Golden Books in KB and Friends Etsy shop, I knew right away I'd need to use them in a Christmas project.  

I added strips of Eyelet Outlet's foil gold star washi tape to the edges of the books to really give them the look of a Little Golden Book.  Vintage children are Cricut images and then I added some amazing Eyelet Outlet brads.  The Santa and deer brads have a super vintage look to them, so they were perfect for this project!  Some snowy tree brads and snow flake brads and a lovely little gift brad complete the project.  

Thanks for stopping in today and come back soon as we're getting ready to roll out some new products that you won't want to miss!

Both of these beachy keen cards feature our Shell Corner Brads and have twine accents strung through a trio of colorful old school 1/8" Round Eyelets; with mats of Shell Washi and extra wide Sky Tape.

The first card also features both shapes from our Seagull Brad Set as well as both Sun and Cloud from that set. 

The second card has a pair of Flip Flops, a Sandcastle and a white Anchor Brad... the latter is masquerading as postage.

Un-Cone-Ditional Love

Hello everyone! As hot as it's been, ice cream has been a perfect cool treat. Today's card is a positive message for a child, friend or anyone you know that may have had some bad luck or has done something they're not proud of lately. This card boldly proclaims that they are love unconditionally in a positive and colorful way.

To begin this card, I stamped, colored, and cut out the cone image with watercolor markers. I also stamped the sentiment and cut that into a strip. I used patterned papers to create a location for the cone and the blank area of my card. The card base is made out of patterned cardstock which reminded me a little of melted ice cream.

To make this card extra special, I added three Ice Cream Brads. The Water Splat Brads were added because it reminded me of drops of melted ice cream but also they add movement to the card. Finally, I added one Fresh Flowers Bright Brads to the ice cream cone. She's extra cute with the flower in her "hair." Though you can't see it in the photo, I also added some glitter pen to the ice cream on the top and on the melted parts for some extra shine. 

 SHOPPING LIST:

Ice Cream Brads

Sprinkles of Wishes and Showers of Love

 Hi EO Fans! Today I'm here with a colorful card which turns something that generally is seen as negative into some positive. This card celebrates sprinkles and showers of Love!

This card is interactive. When you pull the tab at the top, the colorful rain drops are fully revealed.

To make this card, I covered white cardstock with Sparkle White Washi Tape before cutting out the clouds. I added Blue and clear Tear Drop Bling as additional drops for the card. I really love the shine the jewel drops create. It truly takes the card up a notch. Before I placed the main panel on the A2 card base, I lined the edges with Sparkle Blue Washi Tape. I also added some blue Jewel Bling in the tiniest and 2nd smallest sizes.

I made this with a die set from Diamond Press called Rain or Shine Pull Tab Cards. It includes everything needed to create this interactive card and has some other images. The vibrant colors come from Karin Brushmarker Pro watercolor markers.

Sparkle Blue Washi Tape

Sparkle White Washi Tape

Wishing You a DAZZLING Birthday

 I learned a new thing recently! I learned that a herd of zebras is sometimes referred to as a DAZZLE! My stash of Eyelet Outlet zebra brads came immediately to mind and so I made a dazzling birthday card!

I used images from the Cricut Design Space to create this card and then added the wonderful dazzle of  zebra brads on the front.  For the inside, I used my Cricut on the washi tape setting to cut some stars out of Eyelet Outlet silver glitter washi tape.  The sparkle of the tape really added to my dazzling theme!

Thanks for stopping in today!  I hope your day is dazzling!

Cheers to You!

Hello Ai Fans! This Sunday I have another card that shows off the new Liquor Brads. I have paired them with a few drinks which happen to be some of my favorites! I added 12mm Jewel Bling-Clear Edge from a pack of green and blue to add a little sparkle and shine. 

This card is a quick make. The drinks are stamped and colored on a 1 1/2" x 1 3/4" rectangle. I matted them on aqua card stock cut at 1 3/4" by 2". The sentiment was cut 1  1/2" square. The card is a pre-printed A2 sized card which makes it even faster to put this card together. The bottles and stamped drinks are raised on foam tape and then mounted on the aqua cardstock. I also added a border on the liquor brads rectangle with a black pen. This helps to highlight them and make them stand out from the other brightly colored images.

International Yoga Day

 In honor of International Yoga Day tomorrow, I thought I'd celebrate with a couple of Yoga cards. First up is a GOAT YOGA card.

For this card I used images from Cricut Design Space and added some goat brads from the Eyelet Outlet Cow & Goat brad set. 

And how can we remember International Yoga Day without bringing out our Yoga Cat Brads? These cuties are feeling very Zen today!  

Thanks for celebrating with me!

Full Disclosure: The closest I come to practicing Yoga is crafting in my Yoga pants,

One Door Closes

There are some very funny "sign guys" out and about on social media and when I (Lauren) saw this one-liner I knew I had to use my Eyelet Outlet Classic Car Brads and Map Tape to make a card. I framed the sentiment with a panel of Tire Track Washi and another of Wide Brick Tape, added a quartet of Screw Brads and called it a day.

Shopping List:

Thank You with Girl Gnome Brads

I've been having a great time working with the new brads in the store. Today's card features the new Girl Gnome Brads paired with the White Daisy Brads and Fresh Flowers-Bright Brads. 

To make this card, I began by cutting a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card front in mushroom cardstock. Then I cut three heart patterned circles and three slightly larger circles. Then I put two strips of Heart Washi Tape on white cardstock and cut it in a strip. I placed the strip to the left side of the card. I placed two thin strips on each side of the heart strip. I placed the girl gnomes and flowers on the circles before mounting them on the larger circles and then on the card front.
