Summer Fun & Sunshine!


 Hello Ai fans! Well, it's the first holiday of the summer and you know what that means? Yep. Fun in the sun is in full swing. Break out your whites, swimsuits and beach umbrellas. It's time to soak it in while we can. 

To create this card, I made the background using Skinny Washi and Glitter Chevron Washi. I added Blue Glitter Enamel Dots in corners. I made a mat for the ephemera piece with Butterfly Washi and more of the Glitter Chevron Washi. Then I attached the pieces together and decorated the edges with many summer themed brads. I used: Beach Umbrellas, Sunglasses-Colored, Water Splat, and Crab & Lobster Brad Sets. The entire list with links are found below:

You're Palmtastic!

Happy Sunday! Today I am in a tropical kind of mood. In fact, I will be on the beach when this is published so I guess I'm manifesting my future in this card!

I recently got a tropical island die set so I created the card with it. Eyelet Outlet tropical brads takes the tropical them up a level. Here are the stops I took to make this card. I inked up a cloud background and two die cut clouds. I added Sun & Cloud Brads to add more color and dimension to the sky. Next, I made the palm tree and placed a Tropical Bird Brad on one of the branches. Then I got to work on the island. I added a Sand Castle Brad, two Shell Brads and a Lobster Brad. It's such a cute scene and easily made which is the best part!

I'm Here for you



Sometimes we need a card to remind someone that they matter and they care. That's what today's card is all about. I've used lots of Eyelet Outlet goodies on this one.

I've made a nautical scene featuring many of the sea and beach related brad sets carried by Eyelet Outlet. The focus of the card are the new Cruise Brads which will be available in the store soon. This set includes the red and white life rings and the cruise ships. They worked great on my nautical themed paper and portal. It was lots of fun to collage all the fun brads and a little bling together to create this scene.

Susan's Top 3 Favorite Birthday Cards

This week the Eyelet Outlet Design Team is bringing you our top 3 favorites from earlier posts.  I decided to focus on my favorite birthday cards, because every month of the year, I need at least one birthday card for a friend or family member.


For this 'Hippy Birthday" card I used an Eyelet Outlet hanger brad, enamel dots, pearl bling strips, and skinny glitter washi tape.


These birthday candles were so quick and easy with Eyelet Outlet skinny washi tapes!  The hardest part was deciding which of the many beautiful tapes to use.  Each candle is topped with some teardrop bling.



No matter how hard I try, I'm  occasionally "in hot water" and need a belated birthday card. I loved this use of the lobster brads so much I almost wanted to send a birthday card late on purpose!  I also added a little pot holder brad to the lid of the pot.

Thanks for joining us on our trip down memory lane this week as we each bring you our favorite posts from the past.

My Punny Little Tags


Hi Ai Fans! Today I'm channeling two of our best Design Team Members - Lauren Bergold and Susan Creech. Lauren is known for her project series and Susan is the queen of puns. I combined a little of both in these tags. In total, I made a set of six gift or treat bag tags that can be used for kids of all ages. Today I'm sharing three of them.

 The puns were taken from the Think & Grin section of the October 2022 Scout Life magazine. They're silly and remind me of the days when the two most funny words to my son were, "Dirty Underwear!" The mere mention of underwear alone would send he and his friends into hysterical giggles. Those were the days! All the puns were submitted by Cub and Boy Scouts across the country. As I read the puns in the magazine, my mind automatically went to thinking about what brads would go with the jokes.
These tags are a result. 

In this one I've use the Computer and Headphone Brad Set and the Paw Brads. Silver Glitter Enamel Dots are also used.


In the next tag, I've used the Ghost Brads and White Glitter Enamel Dots.

And in my final tag, I've used the Crab & Lobster Brads and the Shell Brads as well as Red Glitter Enamel Dots.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers! Stop by next Sunday to see three more tags. It'll be a punny good time!

Happy Creating Everyone!

Summertime and the Livin' Is Easy!

Hi everyone! It's Janet with a summertime beachy card for you today. We are gearing up for 90+ degrees this upcoming week and all I can think about is the beach. As is often the case, my cards are inspired by what is going on around me and this card is no exception. I used patterned paper and sand embossing powder to create the scene that I tucked the brads into. It looks just like the place I'll wish I am this week!

There are a ton of beach related brads and washi tape in the EO Store. I've used just a few.

Rainbow Brad Book (Part 3 of 3)

It's the final chapter in my Eyelet Outlet Rainbow Brad Book, and while there isn't a big plot twist or anything, there are some great colors, like Yellow, Black, White and Red!

YELLOW turned out to have LOTS of great brad styles, like Emotion Brads, a Party HatWork TrucksLightbulbs (they're on sale!), a Colored Daisy, a Sun Brad, a Classic Car, a School Bus, a Mini Bee Brad, a Peppermint Candy and some very cool Tape Measure Washi.

BLACK is a great place to use my favorite Music Washi, not to mention Eye Glass Brads, a Graduation Hat, a Bicycle Brad, a sweet Puppy and Paw Print, a Zebra, a Cow, the fun Video Game setMovie Brads, a Spider and a Bat.

I was surprised to discover how many awesome choices of brad are WHITEKitten BradsToilet PaperClouds, another Cow (I couldn't decide if the Cows were more black or more white, so I added one to each page, lol!), a HeartSneaker and Water Bottle Brads, a Chicken with both Egg and Fried Egg Brads, a Ghost, some Eye Brads and a Skull. I used some Gold Script Washi as my tape for this page.

Finally, the color RED belongs at the beginning of the spectrum, and has been placed at the front of the completed book, but it was the final page I worked on. Below a strip of Red Dot Tape, it boasts Cardinal and Cardinal Profile BradsFirst Responders, the Apple set, a Mini Ladybug. a VacuumBoat and Lighthouse Brads, an AnchorCoffeeHoliday Coffee and Iced Coffee, plus our handsome Crab and Lobster.

Once I had all the pages complete, I placed them in (more or less) spectrum order. This shot doesn't really show the brads, but I love that because the page frames are solid cardstock in coordinating shades you get a great preview of all the colors by looking at the top of the book:

I hope you'll visit the Eyelet Outlet Blog often, to see what all of our amazing designers are up to!

loves all the colors
(and all the brads) equally!

Happy 4th of July - East Coast Style!


Hi everyone and Happy 4th of July! Today I've made a card celebrating the East Coast side of the country. 

To make this card, I put a strip of Red Sparkle Washi tape on the edges. On top of that I place a white frame made with the largest die in the Spellbinders Candlewick Rectangles set. I love how the red glitter tape shows through the triangle openings on the edges of the die. In the corners I placed seashells from the Sea Shell brad set. 

With the bottom layers done, I worked on the scene in the center. The main image is from an 8 x 8 pad from Graphic 45 called Catch of the Day. It's an image on one of the pages and it works great here as the main focus. I used Glossy Accents to cover the sign and give it a clear shiny look. I added more themed brads from the crab, sea shore, star, anchor and mini butterfly brad sets.

Sometimes the quickest and easiest way to make a card is to start with a great graphic like this one and enhance it with brads and other accents. Eyelet Outlet has all the supplies you need to do this. Even better, they have just about every theme covered!

 Happy Creating Everyone!

A Pinchy Thanks!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing an awesome thank you card featuring some super cool new brads in the store which I paired with skinny 'metal' Washi Tape and some enamel dots! Thank you cards are a basic necessity and I really enjoyed creating this one! 


I cut a standard A2 sized top-folding white card base and a slightly smaller black cardstock layer. I pulled out one of my favorite patterned paper pads and created a background panel using two coordinating patterns complimenting the colors of the brads. I created the sentiment on the computer, printed and trimmed it, and adhered it in the center of the background panel. I added a strip of Copper Skinny Washi Tape at the top and bottom of the sentiment strip, added some Crab & Lobster Brads and adhered the panel on the black cardstock layer. I adhered the panel to the card base, and the final touch was adding a few Black Enamel Dots

Thanks so much for stopping by - we'll see you next time!

Just Be-Claws...

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun clean and simple note card with a beachy feel! I absolutely love note cards because they can be used for a variety of occasions and there's plenty of room on the blank inside panel to write a custom message.


This 'just because' design is super simple and can easily be mass-produced to create a set to give as a gift. I cut a landscape top-folding A-2 card base from kraft cardstock and splattered some white ink with a fan brush over the front. I created the sentiment on the computer and cut it in a strip, then layered it on orange cardstock embellished with brown Glitter Skinny Washi Tape. I added several Crab & Lobster Brads to the left of the sentiment and affixed the strip to the card base. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!
