Life is Better at the Beach

Garden Trio

Spring has emphatically sprung in the Northeastern United States, so luckily there are Eyelet Outlet Brads (& Washi Tape!) to celebrate all of the best aspects of this bloomin' beautiful season!

To "BEE Happy" it helps to have Mini Bee Brads, Colored Daisies and a Heart Brad; with a background of diagonally arranged Flower Washi.

Life IS a Garden, and to DIG it, Garden Tool Brads come in especially handy. Here they're paired with green Leaf Brads and a Ladybug as well as a Mini Ladybug, set atop bold daisy Flower Washi Tape.

As a matter of fact. my favorite color is RAINBOW... but sunshine is also quite wonderful. Sun and Cloud Brads have teamed up with a rainbow from the Unicorn and Rainbow set; and a pair of stylish Sunglasses is perfect for checking out the fab Flamingo. Pink Checked Tape, arranged in an offset pattern, sets the scene.

Whatever YOUR favorite color, style or theme, Eyelet Outlet has the perfect embellishments to create a card that celebrates the season!

Lauren's 2023 Favorites

 It's that time again, the Eyelet Outlet Design Team is picking our favorite projects of 2023; and at the same time, we're getting ready to make brand new inspiring creations for 2024! Here are five of my (Lauren's) personal picks... in more or less chronological order. Click the bolded text to visit the original posts for additional description and direct product links.

It's impossible (imo) to Flamin-Go wrong with EO Flamingo and Beachy Brads. When a friend sent me this hilarious pun, I literally couldn't get to my supplies fast enough!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and this vertical Girls Tape not only captures that vibe perfectly, it pairs seamlessly with pretty much any combination of Brads and Tapes that appeal to your favorite gal.

The new Sugar Skull Brads arrived at the end of the summer, and were instant faves. This Viva la Vida card, posted on Dia de los Muertos, turned out exactly like the picture that was in my head.

Eyelet Outlet Pinata Brads were also brand new this year and my first thought was to make a Smashing Shaker Card with EO Sequins inside. I stand by that decision.

The new Driving Brads pair brilliantly with Classic Car Brads, Compass Brads, and loads of tape styles; for instant Masculine Card perfection.

Lauren Bergold

is looking forward to another year of brads, tapes and diabolical puns!

Let's Flamin-GO!

Where do card ideas come from? EVERYWHERE! In this case, a friend sent me (Lauren) a funny meme that I realized would make a very fast and easy card featuring an Eyelet Outlet Flamingo Brad, a Sandcastle, Tall Palm and our Sun and Cloud Brads with an accent of Sequins and a mat of Pink and White Dot Tape: 

The sentiment is formatted in a font called In Your Face Joffrey, which was free at DaFont.com; all I had to do was print it out, add brads and embellies et voila! Whatever joke, quote, saying or motto YOU would like to re-create in card form, I'm pretty confident that the Eyelet Outlet Online Store has all the Brads and Washi you'll need to make it work!

can literally never resist a Dad Joke, lol!

Summer Fun!

Do you have your summer vacation plans ready? I love having more family time during the summer and always look forward to spending time together making memories and enjoying rest and relaxation.

I enjoyed creating this "summer vibe" card using things that remind me of summer! I love the boombox washi tape as it reminds me of days at the beach with our boombox playing our favorite summer tunes! I added the adorable sunglasses brads because that is a summer staple! Lastly, I had to add the flamboyant, pink flamingo brad for extra fun flair! Flamingos are too adorable!  

Do you ever decorate your mailing envelope? It is fun and easy to do with washi tape and it makes your delivery extra special!! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

Flamazing Flamingo

 "This is what Flamazing looks like" was inspired by the adorable pink flamingo brads! Wouldn't this be a fun card to give to someone you would like to show your appreciation to? 

I created this card by starting with the flamingo wide washi tape for my top and bottom borders. I added coordinating green cardstock for the middle. Then created my sentiment adding the flamingo brads, green jewels strip for extra embellishment, and layered with pink patterned cardstock.

A Flamingo Celebration!

Happy Friday, Eyelet Outlet Fans!  I am here today to share a fun, shaker card that I created. 

Are you a fan of flamingos?  When I go to the zoo, I love to watch them as they interact with each other.  They always look so majestic to me as they stand on one leg. 

I colored up this cute flamingo with Copic Markers, cut it out and set it aside before creating my shaker element.  I die-cut several squares from card stock and acetate, adhered them all together and set it aside to dry completely. 

I die-cut the cover panel and adhered a strip of the beautiful flamingo washi as a border across the top.  I thought it would be the perfect backdrop for my sentiment. 

I filled the shaker element with flamingo sequins and adhered it to the front of the card.  I added the flamingo to the top of the shaker, and I added a loopy silver bow that I completed with a flamingo brad.

I think this turned out so fun and will be perfect to send to someone celebrating a special occasion!

I hope you are inspired to get crafty!

Michelle's Top 3 Favorites!

 Today I am sharing my top 3 favorite cards!

I chose this Nautical themed "SEAS"son's Greeting Christmas card for a couple of reasons! First, it is in honor of the many, many Christmases I celebrated in South Florida! I was born and raised in Florida and only within the last 15 years have celebrated this holiday with an actual "winter" season! And secondly, I love this card because I think I used the most adorable Eyelet Outlet products! I used 9 accessories on this card! You can see all the details of this card on blogpost November 8, 2022.  

My second favorite card is the "back to school fuel" card from blog post August 30,2022. Anyone who knows me, knows I love coffee! So I really enjoyed creating this coffee themed card! Cutting out the Coffee washi tape to create the word "teachers" was fun too! 

Last, but not least. For my 3rd favorite card, I selected "Joy to the World" from blog post October 11, 2022. I chose this card for not only the lovely products I used, but for the message it represents! Because of Jesus's birth we can celebrate Christmas! I hope this Christmas season you have as the song says, "prepared Him room in your heart and home" and you "rejoice at the wonders of His Love". 

Thank you for stopping by this Christmas season! I have created a shopping list below for Eyelet Outlet!

The Future's So Bright...

...You Gotta Wear Shades! Here's a bright and cheerful card, featuring some beachy Eyelet Outlet Brads, including a handsome Flamingo, a stately Palm Tree, a Sandcastle, and our Sun and Cloud Brads; all arranged on Penny Black's Glasses die with Cloud Washi lenses, on a background of Rainbow Tape.

While I was experimenting with combinations of tapes I came up with another version I really liked: Love Tape glasses with the Cloud Washi again for the lenses. I added Colored Daisies and a Mini Ladybug to the tiny garden and made a tiny glasses-shaped card base from a piece of window plastic.

Whatever the calendar might say, when it comes to papercrafting, it can always be any season you want, as long as you have a few appropriate Eyelet Outlet embellies!

"Sea"son's Greetings!

Do you have friends or family who live in a tropical climate? They might enjoy this "SEAside SEAson's Greeting" card for the Holidays!

I started with creating my tropical Christmas tree using the long blue jewel strip for lights and adding tropical brads! For my Christmas tree topper I used a turquoise jewel bling.  I also added a tree stand using black glitter washi and a few presents! And who wouldn't want to slip away on a Santa Sailboat? I thought that would be a fun addition!

Lastly, I created a sentiment banner across the top and added more colorful, jewel bling to embellish my "Season's Greetings"! I love the versatility of the crafting products by Eyelet Outlet!

 So, pop on some Tropical Christmas music and start some "SEAsonal Crafting"! See my shopping list below! Thanks so much for stopping by!
