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!

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.

We Heard There's Cake!
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.

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.

Sealed With a Kiss - TIMES FOUR!
Who would not appreciate getting FOUR cards in one?
This week's cute card does just that!
The base of the card is done with strips of the Poppies Washi Tape with the Clear Jewel Bling Strips sparkling on both sides.
The three adorable mini envelopes, which each contain a special message, are sealed with the Bumpy Heart Bling. This adds the perfect amount of sparkle.
Running horizontally next to the mini envelopes are
5 red, white, and pink Hearts Brads to make sure the recipient knows you're
sending extra love.

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!

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!

Peaceful Butterfly
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.
