Have you seen the new brads at Eyelet Outlet? The new shark brads are a great addition to our other sea life brads.
The adorable new Eyelet Outlet Girl Gnome Brads are making themselves at home, and have already made friends with our Gnome Brads!
Happy Sunday everyone! Today I have the pleasure to present a card using a new 2024 brad set. These are Shark Brads! They go very nicely with the many other sea life and nautical brads already in the store. In this case, I paired the sharks with Water Splat Brads with the encouraging words to, "Just keep swimming."
The blue and white polka dot background is made with Dot Washi Tape-Blue. For a border, I used a strip of blue Fancy Long Bling-Pearls & Jewels. This color is so perfect for any water themed cards or projects.
Sometimes we all need to just have a good chuckle and this card does just that. When I saw this stamp, I had to get it. I haven't used it yet because I was waiting for the right moment and the right inspiration. When Eyelet Outlet came out with these brand-new Liquor Brads, I knew this was the exact time to debut the stamp.
In creating this card, I layered several pink and purple cardstock pieces on top of a unicorn themed cardstock as the base.
The middle of the card has the stamped sentiment that says, “Life
is not a fairy tale. If you lose your shoe at midnight, you're drunk!” How absolutely
hilarious is that…because it’s true!
The sentiment is surrounded by two of the new Liquor Brads along with a spilled wine glass from the Wine Brads.
The bow on the shoe is detailed with a section of the Fancy Long Bling.
The outside of the card is highlighted with four Heart Bumpy Bling.
I hope you got a chuckle out of this card as much as I did.
Oh, and by the way, if you happen to see my lost shoe, please send it back to me.

We're always excited when Eyelet Outlet releases new brads in the store! See all the newly released brads here!
Thanks for stopping in and stay tuned over the next few days as our talented Design Team introduces creative ways to use all the new products.
Apparently, there are a few people in the world who think that some of us have too many books?! This is an understandable error, but in fact, as Mr. Bear points out, the actual problem is NOT ENOUGH SHELVES! For this card, the shelves were created by neatly lining up strips of Eyelet Outlet Book Tape. The computer generated sentiment (created with a free font called Bohemian Typewriter) leaves room for a trio of Book Brads and is matted on a panel of Wood Tape; Cactus and Heart Brads add extra texture and interest to this cozy little scene.
Here's a Handy Shopping List featuring all the items used to create this card:

Is it just me or does it seem as though we skipped over spring and went straight to summer? We've already had several barbecues and it isn't even Memorial Day yet. Those barbecues gave me the inspiration to create this cute, inexpensive, and functional silverware caddy that is perfect for any BBQ.
I started out with just a plain wood box that I purchased from the dollar store along with some cute BBQ themed napkins (I do admit the napkins were a bit busy- but it was perfect for what I was going for!).
I cut out all the cute BBQ items from the napkins.
I then decoupaged the cut out pieces onto the wood box and let it sit overnight.
I added multiple brads such as the Beer Brads, the Cooler and Soda Brads and BBQ Apron and BBQ Brads over all four sides and pop-dotted them on for dimension.
I purchased some dollar store plastic silverware, wrap them in a
basic napkin, and sealed them with the Wide Sky Washi Tape
and the Wide Wood Washi
Tape.
This little BBQ caddy was so much fun to make and is not only cute but is also practical and I guarantee it will be the talk of the BBQ table!
Always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

I'm back with another birthday card featuring the wonderful little dog brads from Eyelet Outlet's Clearance Section! Today I've paired my dogs up with a party hat, balloon, cupcake and a paw brad that really gets the PAWTY started!
Where do card ideas come from? EVERYWHERE! In this case, a fun meme from social media became a card featuring adorable Eyelet Outlet Unicorn and Rainbow Brads, set against a frame of Pink Foil Tape and a background made by neatly lining up strips of Multi Color Dot Washi on the diagonal.
The sentiment is rendered in a free font called Jolly Dream from dafont.com, printed on plain old white cardstock... (with sufficient space left for unicorns, of course) ...then augmented with the brads. If you can dream up a card idea, the Eyelet Outlet Store almost certainly has the brads and tapes to make it work!
When life gives you lemons, you're supposed to make lemonade.
That's how the old saying goes, right? Well, I have another one for you. When
you or someone you love is struggling with something, never give up and just
SQUEEZE THE DAY.
This cheery, lemon themed card will remind the recipient to do just
that.
I created the large lemons by sticking black outline stickers on
top of white glitter paper and then colored them in with alcohol ink markers.
In the center of the cut lemon is an Amber Jewel Brad.
The outside corners are embellished with Purple Bumpy Bling.
The best part about this card is the three cute Lemonade and Fruit Brads in
the middle which are surrounded by Orange Jewel Bling. These brads really bring
this whole card together.
So, when you are looking to make a card for encouragement don't forget to check Eyelet outlet and all the huge variety of brads and bling available to help get you inspired.

I'm back with another birthday card using our cute little dog brads. These little guys are jumping up to peek over the fence because they heard there was cake next door! I used a fence image from Cricut Design Space for this card.
Everyone probably has a favorite mug for drinking their morning coffee or tea, but if you stamp your own and use Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tapes to decorate them, EVERY mug can be your favorite!
The Eyelet Outlet Store is bound to have a Brad and Washi Tape combination that will be YOUR favorite!
