Unicorn Sanity

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! 

has a fabulous collection of EO Washi Tape,
as you can see in the Unicorn photo above!

Picnic Time!


It's time for a picnic and I've got a great basket of goodies for it in today's card. The die used for this makes a picnic basket with a hidden message. The lovely pink check pattern featured as the lining is made with strips of Checked Washi Tape-Pink. It looks so great as the basket liner! To achieve this, just cover plain white cardstock with the washi tape and then cut it out with shape dies. On the front, I've used Wine Brads and Grape Brads. A Cherry Brad decorates the bow. 


The hidden message slips out of the basket. I decorated it with Mini Ant Brads. The handles and the message tab are held in place with Pink Pearl Brads. They are perfect for any kind of outdoor theme but the picnic theme really makes them shine! This one is as fun to give away as it is to receive.

Squeeze the Day!

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.

Teacher Gift Card Holder


It's that time of year when we breath deep and congratulate ourselves as parents for making it through the school year. Don't forget to thank the teachers that made it happen before everyone heads home for the summer! Today's project is a simple but fun gift card holder that's perfect to hold your child's teacher something they appreciate. Before cutting the paper for this with the die, I covered it with strips of Tape Measure Washi and Skinny Heart Washi. The heart washi comes in a set of three pastel colors and I alternated the strips between the Tape Measure Washi. The heart pattern is printed in a holographic foil. It looks great with the wider yellow washi. 

When this opens, the gift card holder pops up. I decorated that with a strip of each washi as well. A sentiment to say thanks to the teacher is included

To make the front of the gift card holder pop, I cut two cardstock circles and added school related brads. The first has a Mini Lady Bug Brad, an Apple Brad, and a Headphone Brad.


The circle on the right holds a Book Brad, Mini Lady Bug Brad, and a Sketched Owl Brad.


Here again is the finished gift card holder. I hope this gives you some ideas for a last minute gift for a special teacher!

Oh Chute!

  A few weeks ago I shared a card I made using the airplane from the Eyelet Outlet Travel Brads and before I put them away, I had another idea I wanted to try!  


The parachute jumper is an image from Cricut Design Space  I'm always amazed at the Cricut's ability to cut so perfectly on the intricate cut setting!  Look at those thin lines! I also embellished this card with some clouds and sun from Eyelet Outlet.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Little Note - Big Thanks!

 


Hello EO fans! I'm excited to be here today to show off a card using some of Eyelet Outlet's versatile products. I made this card using a quilting die. Before I cut the pieces out, I covered white cardstock with three different washi tapes. I used Flower & Feather Washi Tape, Blue Dot Washi Tape, and Strawberry Washi Tape. Then I cut the die out three times so that I could mix the pieces together to get the quilted look you see here. I picked three complimentary colored and patterned washi tapes

Once I inlaid all the quilt pieces, I heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and attached it to the card. The final touches are a Blue Glitter Enamel Dot, a Red Heart Brad and a Giraffe Brad. Love it!

Happy Birthday from the Whole Pack

These little dog head brads from the Eyelet Outlet clearance section are ALL so darn cute!  The one with the long snout really caught my eye today and I laughed out loud at his long years seemingly flying in the wind.  


What else could I do except put him and his friends into a car riding down the road with the windows down!  I used some Eyelet Outlet road washi tape and also our gorgeous wide sky washi tape for this project.  Don't forget to put that sky washi tape in your cart when you check out!  You'll find a hundred uses for it and you'll love the way it feels!

Garden Trio

Spring has emphatically sprung in the Northeastern United States, so luckily there are Eyelet Outlet Brads (& Washi Tape!) to celebrate all of the best aspects of this bloomin' beautiful season!


To "BEE Happy" it helps to have Mini Bee BradsColored Daisies and a Heart Brad; with a background of diagonally arranged Flower Washi.


Life IS a Garden, and to DIG it, Garden Tool Brads come in especially handy. Here they're paired with green Leaf Brads and a Ladybug as well as a Mini Ladybug, set atop bold daisy Flower Washi Tape.


As a matter of fact. my favorite color is RAINBOW... but sunshine is also quite wonderful. Sun and Cloud Brads have teamed up with a rainbow from the Unicorn and Rainbow set; and a pair of stylish Sunglasses is perfect for checking out the fab FlamingoPink Checked Tape, arranged in an offset pattern, sets the scene.


Whatever YOUR favorite color, style or theme, Eyelet Outlet has the perfect embellishments to create a card that celebrates the season!

hopes the joy of gardening is outweighing 
the pollen count where you are!

Peaceful Butterfly


Hello EO fans! I hope you've had a great weekend so far! Recently, I saw a die that cut a butterfly into card front. While I don't have that die, I do have a Cricut machine and I found a butterfly pattern which I used to create a card pattern that very much mimicked the die I was admiring. 

The front of this card is a big window with the butterfly wings connected to the edges of the window only. On top of it, I attached another butterfly connected to the butterfly cut in the card base only on the body. This makes the attached butterfly wings open almost as if it's flying. It's quite a nice effect! Behind the window, I applied a background made of Wide Sky Washi Tape. I used purple Jewel Strip Bling to border the window on the front. I used orange Jewel Strip Bling on the butterfly body and added an orange Pearl Bling to its head. I also added Butterfly Brads to the front around the sentiment which I also cut in Cricut Design Space.
