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.

Keep Reaching for the Stars

Keep Reaching for the Stars

What an awesome mantra to live by.  Keep reaching for the stars!

On this card, these precious fairy brads are doing just that.  All six fairies from the Eyelet Outlet are fluttering around the whimsical tree that is sprinkled with little black jewel bling and multicolored stars to add some extra shimmer.  

The top and bottom border is the brand new Glitter Sky Washi tape. The glitter and the colors matched perfectly! I love how versatile washi tape is to work with and how it always brings your creations to another level. Even in the simplest ways.

Although the fairy tree is covered in beautiful stars to catch, sometimes it’s just hard to keep reaching for the stars. It’s in those times that you really need to keep your head up and SHINE!

The Press Me Star on the bottom lights up three special stars to remind you even when times are tough, look up, see your sparkle and always keep reaching for the stars.

Magical Day

 I first learned about wiper cards from the Eyelet Outlet Design Team Lead, Janet and I was hooked. They are actually pretty easy to make and have a little mechanism that pops up when the card is opened.

 Today I've got one to share with you that features a number of magical Eyelet Outlet products.  

I thought it would be oh-so-magical to pair the new gnome brads with some of our fairy brads.  Our brand new deer brad is so sweet and also looked like something you might find in a magical garden.  The fairy house and the gnome house came from the Cricut image library and I added some colorful daisy brads around them. I put skinny glitter washi tape underneath the diamond shaped borders. There's a mini dragonfly brad in the sky above as well as purple swirl bling to finish it off.

If you're in the Meza, Arizona area this weekend, stop in and see us at the Scrapbook Expo!

Magical Rainbow

Happy May Day everyone! It's Janet here with a magical card featuring unicorns, rainbows, fairies, and pastel ponies. It's a little girl's dream!  

This card was created with a sunburst die. I cut it twice. Once with the holographic cardstock and once with the light lavender cardstock. Then I cut a separate center piece out of a coordinating patterned cardstock. I glued the lavender frame on an A2 sized card base and inlaid the holographic pieces inside the negative spaces. 

I inserted the pony and rainbow brads into the center piece and applied it to the the card with double-sided foam tape. I added a sentiment strip above and a unicorn and fairy brad. Three blue pearl bling finish the card off nicely.

It's a RAINBOW Brad Book

Last year I (Lauren) made an Alphabet Brad Book featuring as many Eyelet Outlet Brads as I could fit onto two dozen or so playing-card-sized ATCs. That project was so much fun I thought I'd do a different version: this time grouping the brads --and a few coordinating EO Washi Tapes-- by color. So without further ado, I present my Eyelet Outlet Rainbow Brad Book!

The cover has a sticker title on top of Rainbow Washi decorated with a Rainbow Brad, a sweet blue Fairy and some white Enamel Stars. 

Eventually, I'll arrange the pages in spectrum order, but I've been working pretty randomly to choose coordinating brads, tapes and letter stickers, so at the moment, page one has all things ORANGE, including: a Pumpkin, Candy Corn, a Witch Hat, a Monster, some Foxes, a Tiger, a couple of Ducks, (...possibly a bit nervous being so close to the tiger...) Movie Brads, and the orange gecko from our Reptile Set. With a strip of Geometric Washi, to match.

Technically, a rainbow doesn't contain neutrals, but there are quite a few cool brads that are black, white, grey, and in this case, tan and BROWN, so I figured I'd add a few pages to reflect that. Here you can see: the Kennel Mix, a Paw Print, critters from the Jungle Mix and Lion, Tiger Zebra Set, a Teddy Bear, various Shell Brads, a Fan, a Sunglass Brad, Flip Flops and a refreshing Beer Brad. With a bit of Wood Washi to hold the title.

The PURPLE page boasts some yummy Grape Brads, a Butterfly, a purple Fairy, a lavender unicorn from the Unicorn and Rainbow set, Knitting Brads (they're on sale!) a Party Hat, Stitched Flowers and Mini Stitched Flowers (also on sale!) as well as Dragonflies; all atop some Checked Purple Tape.

The pages are constructed from graph paper, backed with plain white cardstock, and measure just a smidge over 3.5 x 5.5". I used my vintage typewriter to add the words on coordinating strips of paper.

There are still more colors (and more neutrals!) yet to come, so I hope you'll stop by the Eyelet Outlet Blog again next week to see more Rainbow Brad goodness!

A Fairy House Complete With Fairies and Sparkle!

Hey everybody, hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun 3-D project with you today! Is there a special little girl in your life that would absolutely LOVE a fairy house complete with little fairies and sparkle?! If so, we've got you covered! This fairy house features our Fairy Brads and clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling Strips!

I cut all the pieces from brown, light brown, green, aqua, teal, yellow, magenta, orange and purple cardstock. I assembled the fairy house and added three Fairy Brads prior to adding the second base layer of the house for stability. I added several clear gemstones from our Clear Jewel Bling Strips to the soffit for a little sparkle. I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock in orange ink, cut it with a stitched oval die, and adhered it to the front of the tree stump. The cool thing about this project is that it folds flat for mailing!

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

Fairy Thanks

 

Eyelet Outlet brads make card making a breeze.

I need a pile of thank you cards....so, to make this fairy easy, keep the focus on the sentiment and Fairy Brads.  Clean open spaces and simple layouts are your friend when you are creating multiple copies of a card.  

Here I used a strip of patterned paper and Copper Foil Washi Tape along with Pink Bling strips for that pixie dust.

Remember, tomorrow...new brads are released! 

Thanks for fluttering by today!

Have a Magical Day

It's been a while since I (Lauren) have made a card with the lovely Eyelet Outlet Fairy Brads, and I've been missing them! So here's a "magical" slimline card:

I used a favorite alphabet stencil to add the word "MAGICAL" in exactly the right shades of Distress Oxide Ink to coordinate with all four Fairy Brads that come in each packet!

I used white foam alphas to finish the sentiment and added the Fairy Brads, a few Mini Stitched Flowers and some Blue Sequins for a bit of sparkle. I machine-stitched the panel onto my slimline card base that I made from a super-thick transparency, so it magically seems to float.

I hope you are having a Magical... and creative... day! ♥

Lauren Bergold

wishes the fairies could also 

magically send the cards and 

maybe do a little laundry?

A little magic for your day!

Magic is in the air...

with Eyelet Outlet  decorative brads!

Our new release has Unicorn & Rainbow Brads.

Here I paired the trendy unicorn head with our earlier Fairy brad.

Love that the colors coordinate so well!

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!

Our new brads look great in our stamp sets!
