You're so AL "LURE" ING!

Why wait for Valentine's Day to send your sweetie a love note?! Let them know how hooked you are today with this punny fishing themed card. 

Use one of Eyelet Outlet's fishing lure brads to convey how alluring they are to you and carry the theme forward with a wide mouth bass brad on the line. The fishing pole I used is from the Cricut image library, as is the little pond. I used one of cat tail brads from our frog brad set. It wouldn't be a love note without a heart, so I added a little black enamel heart. 

 

Go Jump in the Lake!

Here's hoping that some of you are enjoying the lake scene this Memorial Day weekend. My card celebrates jumping in the lake as something that's lots of fun - not an insult. I love this idea because jumping in a lake is one of the joys a lot of us have experienced in our lives, at many different ages.

This card starts with a pre-printed tag that I matted and then put on a torn mat before putting it on a teal card. Then I added the brads and enamel brads to make it extra fun. It's a perfect way to celebrate the lake life.

Hooked On You

When I saw this fishing hat SVG at Miss Kate's Cuttables, I knew I needed to add some Eyelet Outlet fishing lure brads to it.

To keep with my theme, I created the background picture with drawn fishing lures from the Cricut image library.  The lure I used for the sentient is also a Cricut image that I created an offset for and added the text.

 

Let's get our Fishing Rules straight!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun Father's Day card FULL of awesome brads and of course some washi tape! Yep, Father's Day will be here before we know it and we need to get our Fishing Rules straight beforehand, lol! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from shimmery black cardstock. I built a little beach scene using Sky Washi Tape-Wide and Water Washi Tape for the background. I printed the Fishing Rules sign on kraft cardstock, adhered it to the background, and embellished it with Fishing Lure Brads, a Fishing Pole Brad, Trout and Bass Brads, a Wine Brad (don't laugh - I didn't have any beer brads and the wine bottle looked like it could pass for a beer bottle, lol!), a Seagull Brad and Shell Brads. I layered the background panel on kraft cardstock which gave it a nice contrast against the black card base. 

I embellished the inside panel with strips of kraft and black cardstock, adhered a stamped and die cut sentiment, and layered it on kraft cardstock. 

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

End of Summer...

It's the end of summer...but that just means craft time should be ramping up!

These Fishing Lure Brads are a great match to our many Fish Brads.

Diabolical Pun Warning Level: Very High 

I'm not fishing for compliments......but I (Lauren) really (reely!) love the Eyelet Outlet Fishing Lure Brads, so I made a card to celebrate:

In the spirit of full disclosure: I have not gone fishing since I was a child, and even then, it was not a 100% voluntary experience, lol; especially the part that involved touching worms (*shudder*) or fish! But these lures are so pretty and so colorful I was hooked! (Ok, sorry, but once you start on fishing puns, it's hard to stop.) I have no idea if, in real life, one would use more than one lure on a line, but design-wise, I liked combining a few of them, so let's pretend this makes sense, k? I placed my sticker sentiment --I cannot possibly over-state the helpfulness of graph paper on these occasions-- and positioned my brads, but didn't set them. This let me sketch lightly, in pencil, a path for my two lines, before machine stitching. At the very end I added a bass (I'm pretty sure that's a bass, but I guess it could be a trout?) from the Trout and Bass set. 

You don't need to go back to school (geddit?) to learn some great ways to use the EO Fishing Lure,  and Fish Brads, just check out the blog each week to SEA what the design team is up to! :)
