Oh Hello!

 Today's card is inspired by a visit with a friend to the nail salon. It felt like such a girlie girl morning that I decided it would be fun to use that theme in today's card.

I started this one with a preprinted frame that said Oh Hello! It was included in a paper pad and the girl in her sunglasses was included in a patterned paper. I fussy cut her out and added a crown from the Crown & Tiara Brads. Then I added the Sun & Cloud brads, the Women's Eye Glass Brads, and the Shoe & Purse Brads.

It was a lot of fun to create this little diva card. The EO store has just the brads to make my card really pop. I think I'm going to give it to the friend who invited me along this morning. I think she'll enjoy it.

Today's card theme is treasures under the sea. This 5 x 5 card is full of wonderful bling in yummy jewel colors and white pearls. The treasure chest is stuffed with bling and some overflows on the sand bottom as well. In addition to the bling, I added several brads that are perfect embellishments for a treasure card.

To make this, I started inking up the water background with a stencil. Then I colored and trimmed out the stamped ocean bottom scene at the base. Then I layered in all the bling and the brads to create this perfect underwater treasure card.

Any set of adorable characters can be dressed up for Halloween, Christmas or a birthday party with a few Eyelet Outlet brad styles. The mummy bear has donned a Mustache Brad; the unicorn kitty is sporting a Tiara and Eye Glass Brads; the dashing dachshund has his Top Hat on and has invited a Long Dog friend to accompany him. Some Black Cat Brads obviously wanted to join the party and it would hardly be a spooky occasion without Bat and Pumpkin Brads. Thee handsome Frog Brad is wearing a Witch's Hat... or possibly... a powerful witch has been temporarily turned into a frog? Either way, this Boo Crew is definitely going to collect lots of candy and maybe win some prizes at the costume party! A mat of Spider Washi Tape is the perfect finishing touch to any creepy, kooky card.

WE CHICKS NEED TO STICK TOGETHER!

I don't know about you, but I have a group of best friends that are the craziest, funniest, each unique, and the most loyal group of women I have ever met in my life. We love to craft together, go shopping together, cry together when things are rough, have holiday parties together, all gather around to protect an injured flock member, and sometimes we even just go out for afternoon tea and scones. We even have a “callout” word we use when we are shopping and get separated….”CAW CAW”…yes, like a bird….hahaha. These women are my peeps and I choose them to be park of my flock and am more than honored to have them in my hen house. This card is dedicated to them – I love and cherish you all so very much and cannot thank you enough for your friendships.

 

To create this card, I die cut all the pieces out and colored them in with alcohol markers to give them their own personalities and, of course the maximum sassiness available! I’m not going to say which chicken is based off which friend, but I think they will figure it out.

For example, one chicken has beautiful blue eyes made with Eyelet Outlet’s blue jewel bling, crazy-fun hair and she is sporting some sassy cat-eye glasses from the Women’s Eyeglasses Brads that show us her true inner diva! LOVE!

Another one of my chicks, of course, is wearing a tiara from the Crown and Tiara brads because… why not! And you can't go shopping without a designer handbag from the Shoe and Purse brads collection.

The last chicken has beautiful golden jewel bling eyes that highlight her poppin’ pink glasses. She, of course, in raisin’ the roof to get the party started!

The hen house has a little egg in there from the Egg Brads just reminding us there is always something waiting for us to tend to at home.

 

When you have a group of crazy friends like I do, you have to stick together and never let them clucking go! They are priceless, precious, and make your life so much more of an adventure than you could ever imagine.

Find your chicks and stick together.

Dragon Birthday Greetings

 

 Hi everyone! I'm here today to share a little magic on a cold winter's day. Isn't this dragon adorable? As soon as I saw the die, I knew that I could really up the cuteness even more by adding some great products from Eyelet Outlet!

This is a top fold, A2 base card in a bright blue. I cut the dragon out of purple and white cardstock and pieced him together. What's super cute about him is that he's made so that his body hangs on a brad so that the body can swing back and forth. Super fun! I embossed the blue mat and highlighted the embossing around the edges with Oxide Ink.

After putting the dragon together, I put a Stitched Flower Brad in his arms. I put a Crown Brad on his head and a couple Fairy Brads that hover around him. That's because every dragon should have some fairies and wear a crown right? The best part was adding Eye Brads to really give him some personality! Finally I added a Happy Birthday Brad. I felt it still needed a little something so I added white dots to the background and white highlights on the dragon.

The GREY page (technically there are no neutrals in a rainbow, but there are lots in the EO Store!) consists of: Mail Brads, Garden Tools, an Elephant from the Jungle Mix, a Muffin Pan from the Baking set and a Saucepan from our Cooking Brads, a Sketched Owl, a Koala, and some Pipe Brads; plus a bit of fun skinny Road Washi.

Bling It On!

My granddaughter will soon be six and I wanted to make an extra special Princess themed package topper for her gift.  

The little princess I used in an SVG from Miss Kate's Cuttables and her dress was the perfect opportunity for a touch of Eyelet Outlet's gorgeous Fancy Long Bling.  It's available in a few different colors, but I used the clear for this project.  I also added a few strips of Jeweled Bling Strips. Again, it's available in several colors, but I went with the clear today. I also added the Jeweled Bling Strip around the oval frame.

And what princess attire would be complete without a pink sparkling Eyelet Outlet crown brad! And just because there's always room for more bling, I added pink and clear stick on bling around the scallops of the frame.

When I make a rosette for a package topper, I always use a slider on the back to hold the rosette together.  I'm careful to apply the hot glue only to the center and that way ribbon can thread through the slits when it comes time to wrap the gift.

I think my granddaughter is going to love this pretty little princess!

Be Mine!

Valentines are some of my (Lauren's) favorite cards to make, especially since I have a niece whose birthday is February 14th. Like me, she loves lots of color and sparkle, so I have pulled out all the stops for this card and used eight different Eyelet Outlet brad styles with ten varieties of (pink!) washi tape!

I started by choosing a center point on my 6" square card to be the connection for my starburst of different tapes. Then I somewhat randomly layered a bunch of my favorite Valentine-friendly designs, concentrating on those which had lots of pink in them, including: Tiny Heart Tape, Glitter Heart Tape, Glitter Pink, Macaron Washi, Unicorn Tape, Foil Rose Tape, Heart Arrow Tape, Pink Dot Washi, Checked Pink Tape and Gold Foil XO Tape, which is technically not at all pink, but worked well anyway.

Then I added my diecut heart, a Hello Kitty cut-out, and glitter alphabet sentiment over the place where all of the tapes met. Finally, it was time to add the brads. Again, I went mostly by color, but luckily there were lots of things that matched which I know Miss Riley loves, such as: Heart Brads, Donut Brads, a starfish from the Sea Shore Brads, the pink glittery tiara from the Crown and Tiara set, an Ice Cream Brad and a Stitched Flower.

Whatever color your Valentine loves best, I bet there are a bunch of fun Eyelet Outlet Brads and Washi Tape Styles that will coordinate perfectly! ♥

The Crown (Eyelet Outlet Edition)

I (Lauren) can never resist a funny meme, especially if it's one for which I have the perfect Eyelet Outlet Brads. In this case our fabulously fancy and righteously regal Crown and Tiara Brads.

There are actually four styles of Crown and Tiara Brads in each package: two versions of the golden coronet (with both blue and red details); and the pink tiara with both silver filigree and glittery sparkles. On my first card I used one of the golden/blue variety, and placed it on the head of my Riley and Friends stamp, "Midge with Coffee"... although in this case, I cut away the coffee mug (sorry, Midge!) so she'd look more regal. I used one of our fabulous new wide washi varieties, Apothocary Bottles Tape to make a background with a bit of a nostalgic vibe.

As is often the case when I've seen a meme online, I made a digital sentiment; or rather, two versions of the sentiment, because I wanted both horizontal and vertical format. I used a free chunky font called Vexler Slip for my first card and AR Bonnie for the slightly more streamlined version on my second card. They're both right-clickable here in the post, and will also be available on the Freebies Page later this week.

For my second card I wanted to use the pink and silver filigree Tiara Brads, so I made a slightly "lighter" looking sentiment and chose another new tape with nice bright colors, in this case the delicious Macaron Washi.

There are a bunch more fabulous new tapes, located at the very beginning of the Washi Tape section; and there are a few amazing new brad styles getting ready to debut soon, so check back often for all the updates!

new Eyelet Outlet goodies arrive!

Love Potion #9

Have you seen Eyelet Outlet's new SEQUINS?!  I've always admired shaker cards and have wanted to try making one, but never have, that is, until now!  

Here is my first attempt!  I used my Cricut to cut the shape of the bottle into the card.  These are definitely fun cards to make and I can see more in my future, for sure!  Look at all of of the beautiful colors of sequins to choose from to fill the shaker!

I love the way that darling frog brad is waiting to turn into a handsome prince with his crown hovering above his head, don't you?  I topped this card off with one of colorful enamel hearts and a little bit more sparkle from some stick on bling.

Thanks for being here today and I hope you enjoy the rest of the day doing something you love!

Wish Big!

Have you seen the new Eyelet Outlet Fairy Brads? They are one of my (Lauren's) favorites from the Spring release. And I can envision them working in so many ways, but this being the height of summer gardening season, I decided to go a bit nature-y!

Both of my cards are built on trimmed-down journal cards from Prima Marketing's Havana collection. I loved the way the soft foliage colors made the fairies blend in just a tiny bit... because fairies like to hide! For my first card I added three Fairies, in pink and green, and let them flitter around the card. (Each pack has an assortment of pink, green, blue and purple fairies.) I added bits of white Pearl Swirl Bling to convey movement and magic. There was a pre-printed sentiment at the top left of the card, so I covered that with Sun and Cloud Brads, and added my own words, lower down, via alphabet stickers... probably my favorite craft supply after brads and paper, lol!

We also have fun new Crown and Tiara Brads, and as soon as I thought of the sentiment, "Wish Big" I knew that I had to put a crown on a Frog Brad and surround him with a few more Fairies. Again, the Pearl Swirls are meant to imply that the fairies just miiiiiiiight be in the process of working a little bit of magic... or possibly mischief? It's sometimes hard to tell with fairies!

Whether you're into Fairies or Frogs or BOTH... the Eyelet Outlet Online Store (and Tradeshow Booth!) has brads style to make all your crafty wishes come true!

If the crown fits...

The patterned paper behind the main panel is a floral washi tape...

so is the gold/white foil on the banner.

Had a big busy, fun weekend at the Great Lakes Mega Meet in 

Novi, MI with so many, many Eyelet Outlet Fans!

Here are two examples using the new Crown and Tiara Brads!

Here I used the pink tiara...along with gold foil to match the foiled patterned paper.

The fancy long bling makes a great statement on your cards and scrapbook pages!

Love these red, pearly hearts.

This weekend,

we'll be in Orlando, FL

for the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo.

May 17-18, 2019
