Llama Birthday Wishes!

 I thought this Llama was so adorable and would pair perfectly with the NEW Pinata Brad set!

I added my diecut Llama to colorful, striped patterned paper then stamped my curly hangers to add the pinatas! I did add foam tape behind 2 pinatas for extra pop! I embellished with colorful enamel dots, bling, and pearls, along with the new pinata brads!

To create a fun and colorful inside of my birthday card, I added more hanging pinatas, light purple washi tape, and the pink pearl strip! I think this would be a delightful birthday greeting card!

For the Record...

We want to wish you a Happy Birthday!!

 When I saw the adorable vinyl record brads, I knew I want to do a fun, girly, vintage inspired birthday tag! I loved playing on the pinks and golds with adding the sparkly light brown glitter washi tape and pearl bling jewel stickers. I added an array of ribbon and think this would be a fun tag to add to a birthday present for a sweet girlfriend!

HBD! Happy Birthday!

Happy Friday, crafty friends!  I am still working on building my stash of birthday cards, and it is so fun and easy to do using brads, as there are endless possibilities!  

I have so many dog lovers in my life, so I made a card for one of them.  I started by wrapping a strip of white card stock with Dog Washi Tape.  I trimmed the front of my card base down and adhered the washi panel to the inside of the card base.  This allows the dogs to show on the front of the card when it is closed, and on the inside panel.

I wrapped another panel of white card stock with the washi tape and I die-cut the letters "h, b, d, and !" from that panel.  I adhered the HBD diagonally to a wood-grain kraft panel.   I embellished the panel with several of the Puppy Brads and Kennel Mix Brads before adhering to the card front.

I hope you are inspired to create something today!  This card was really a lot of fun to make!

For My Favorite Handyman!

 Happy Friday, friends!  Are masculine cards a struggle for you?  They sure are for me, and I never seem to have enough birthday cards for the guys in my life!  I created a super fun birthday card for my favorite handyman.  

I started by creating a background panel by alternating the Tool Washi Tape with strips of card stock that I die-cut.  I created my focal point by adding a large die-cut birthday sentiment to a piece of craft cardstock.  

Before adhering the panels to the card base, I added screw dies to each corner of the washi panel, and I used some toolbox and tool dies on the sentiment panel.  I then popped them up on the card base with foam dots.

A Unicorn Birthday Wish!

 Hello, crafty friends!  I never seem to have enough birthday cards in my stash, so I thought today would be a great day to build up some of my stash!  

I am really trying to work on some clean and simple cards, because they really allow the embellishments to shine. 

I started by wrapping the edges of a card stock panel with Glitter Blue Green Washi Tape and adhered it to a pink card base.  I dry embossed the main card panel with a balloon embossing folder from my stash.  I die-cut the sentiment in teal card stock and adhered it to the embossed panel before setting some of the darling Unicorn Brads in place. I adhered the panel to the card front and added the Rainbow Brad to my bow with my hot glue gun. 

This was such a fun card to create!  I hope you are inspired to pull out your favorite embellishments and get to work!

Happy Birthday to Moo!

Hi crafty friends!  I hope that you have recovered from the holidays and life is settling down for you.  

I had the best time creating this barnyard birthday card!   I started by creating the adorable barn using dies from my stash.  I added a chicken to the window, and a goat and cow to either side of the doors.  

I wanted to add a little bit of sparkle, so I used the Glitter Black Washi tape to add a border to my sentiment strips.  Lastly, I added a bow from baker's twine.

HOPPY Birthday

Nothing makes for a more RIBBET-ing birthday card than Eyelet Outlet Frog Brads. As if the frogs themselves weren't already cute enough, the sets also come with cattails, plus purple and yellow waterlilies. So you basically have all the ingredients for an entire scene... (and inspiration for an appropriately punny sentiment!) ...in just ONE little pack of brads! 


You could make a wonderful card with just an inky background and some Wide Sky Washi Tape, but in this case, I stamped the pond edge from Sunny Studios' Country Scenes set, colored it with Tombow Dual Brush pens to perfectly match the brads, and added a sweet little Mini Butterfly, which is on sale. I hope you'll agree this card is TOAD-ily awesome!

can never resist a diabolical pun!

Cupcakes for Everyone!

New Brad Alert! We've got four new styles making their Eyelet Outlet debut today: Female Cardinals, Gift Boxes, Iced Coffee and... my (Lauren's) personal favorite... Swirl Cupcakes!


Three flavors of Swirl Cupcakes come in each package, so of course I had to make three slightly smaller than A2 cards. It also made sense to add in other birthday-themed and/or pink brads, such as a Birthday CandleLollipop Brad (they're on sale!) a FlamingoColored DaisyBirthday Sock Monkey (also on sale!) and a Heart Brad. A scattering of white Round Sequins, some torn patterned paper and a little machine stitching completes the design.


Stay tuned for more New Brad inspiration from the design team, right here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog.

Birds of a Feather

This week we're welcoming several new brad styles to the Eyelet Outlet family, including realistic FelinesColored Daisies, a super-cute Kennel Mix, colorful Reptile Brads and my (Lauren's) instant favorite: Tropical Birds, which contain two variations of Toucan and three vibrant Parrots!



I paired my beautiful birdies with chunky letter stickers and some gorgeous diecut tropical foliage. As usual, I was unable to resist a couple of diabolical puns, and I've made them into. jpgs images which you can right-click and save. They will also be archived on the freebies page.



I couldn't resist one more completely gratuitous shot of the bird brads staged with the foliage.


I hope you'll head over to the Eyelet Outlet Store and see all of the new brads; and stay tuned here on the EO Blog because our design team will be rolling out lots more great ideas for using them!

would like to have
a pet toucan!

It's a CARD-inal!!! :)

The new Fall 2019 brads, bling and tapes are making their way into the Eyelet Outlet Store, and one of my (Lauren's) favorite new brads are the Profile Cardinals which are beautiful on their own but even nicer with the original Cardinal Brads. See?


I am a really big fan of the EO Paper Flowers, and the green ones have a special place in my heart because the petals make such beautiful leaves when you cut them apart! I used one small and one medium flower to augment my diecut branches. 


I had so much fun making the first card that I decided to do a landscape version featuring the Bluebird and Robin Brads, just so they wouldn't feel left out!


I hope you'll have a chance to get outside today and see some birds in real life, but if not, the EO Store is here for you! ♥

I Did the Math

Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards and today I'm sharing a cute birthday card featuring a number of Eyelet Outlet products on a clever card design called the "impossible card".  It would have been impossible for me to figure out how to do this without a video tutorial, I can tell you that!

So, back to the card.  First I used the Colored Math Washi Tape to cover the panels which are then matted on black before attaching to the card base.  Then I used the Hardwood Floor Washi Tape to frame the chalkboard.   And finally, I used the Chalk Board Washi Tape for the board itself.  These are three of my favorite washi tapes as they are so versatile!



To write on the board, I used a chalk pen as the washi really does act like a chalkboard.  To give it an "authentic" look, I also dusted it with embossing powder so it would appear as if it had been erased.  The finishing touch for the board is the Apple Brad.



Here's a picture of the side so you can see the clever design while I share that I also made a tray for the chalk and eraser I cut by covering a thin piece of cardstock with the Hardwood washi and then adding mounting tape to the back before attaching to give it dimension.

I also cut a thin strip of the Chalk Board washi and ran it across the strip on the bottom front of the card and then added Green Jewel Strip over that.



And here's the back of the card.  I admit, this sentiment is not for everyone but I have lots of friends who share my dry sense of humor!




Last week I totally forgot to share my Eyelet Post on my blog.  If you follow Eyelet Outlet's blog you already saw this; but just in case, here it is:

Aww, Nuts

Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards sharing a card using the Elephant brad from the Jungle Mix set, which includes not only the elephant but a giraffe and monkey, too.  I love this set and I'm excited the new release adds even more options with Lion, Zebra, and Tiger brads.

I decided this diagonal fold card would be a cute way to showcase the elephant with some digital patterned paper featuring peanuts and a zig-zag pattern.  And to set it off, I added two Enamel Hearts from the multi-color pack and a little embroidery floss on the elephant's trunk.  The embroidery floss plays off that old method to help memory recall by tying a string around your finger.


When you open the card you see the sentiment inside with another elephant and heart to tie the front and inside together.

I like this unique style of card and hope to use it again soon with another of Eyelet Outlet's great products.

Reel-y Great Birthday

Hi there!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.

I've never been fishing, but it seems like it would be a very relaxing activity so long as I didn't have to put bait on the hook...or take the fish off the hook...or clean the fish.  On second thought, maybe I'll just stick to making cards about fishing.

Like this one:


I used several Eyelet Outlet product to complete this scene; the Trout & Bass, Seagull and the Pine Tree (soon to be in the store as part of their Fall release) brads and the Pearl Bling Sheets.   These brads are the most realistic looking I've ever worked with.  Here's a closer look at them:



Here's the Bass, fresh out of the water.  Don't those pearls work well as water bubbles.  I added a few smaller white dots as smaller bubbles.  And there's one of those gorgeous Pine trees.



Here we have a bucket full of Trout...looks like they're having a successful day.  In the sky, a Seagull.



Finally, two more Pine trees to complete the scene.  The stamp set I used is called Reel Great Guys by Art Impressions.  The colored the image with Copic markers and highlighted with White Gel Pen on the water and mountains in the distance.

For inside the card, I scanned the stamped image; reversed and reduced it in size.  I added a little sign with the "o-fish-al" age.

You may have noticed this card isn't the standard A2 size.  It's 3 1/2" x 6" and I'm glad I opted for that size to give me the opportunity for a panoramic view.


I'll see you again next week....have a great day!
