Signs of Fall

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the Autumn tree." Emily Bronte

 I love looking for the signs, sounds, and scents of Autumn! I created this card thinking of all the things I enjoy about Autumn! I created a slimline style card with 1.50 inch squares and added washi tape, letters, and brads of all things fall! Pumpkins, scarecrows, foxes, pinecones, fall leaves, and the NEW acorns and squirrel brads! 

I hope you enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

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!

Fall is Fun

Technically, autumn will not begin until September 21st, but as soon as the kiddos head back to school, it seems like we all shift gears into "Fall Mode" doesn't it? So this seems like a good time to break out a few Eyelet Outlet Pumpkin Brads, some beautiful Sunflowers and even a sweet little Fox!

I chose my colors from the truck, which I fussycut from an autumn-themed journal card. I diecut long, leafy flower stems out of a few shades of green to compose my sunflower field and added some Black Jewels to the hubcaps. The woodgrain mat was made by carefully lining up strips of Wood Washi along each edge of my pre-cut white cardstock layer, and letting them overlap at the corners.

Magical Enchanted Birthday!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun magical enchanted birthday card featuring some of our very cool critter and mushroom brads along with some skinny washi tape and bling!

I cut a standard size A2 top-folding card base and several layering panels. I embellished the front panel with some diagonal strips of cardstock and Copper Skinny Washi Tape, adhered it to the card base, and stamped the sentiment in dark green ink in the upper right corner. I stamped, colored and die cut an adorable wreath full of mushrooms and greenery, adhered it to several more green cardstock wreath die cuts for a little dimension, then adhered the wreath to the front panel. 

I added two Fox Brads nestled among the mushrooms and greenery, and two Lawn Mushroom Brads just below the wreath. Then I added some white pearls to finish the front.

I embellished the inside panel with strips of green cardstock and Copper Skinny Washi Tape, stamped the sentiment in dark green ink, and layered the panel on dark green cardstock. 

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

Crazy for Eyelet Outlet!

Put a bit of fun into your autumn with Eyelet Outlet's Fox Brads!

Thanks for slinking by today!

Hey Foxy

Today's card features the oh-so-adorable Fox Brads. I love these little critters and I wanted them to be the focal point on my card, so I left everything else (other than the card base) neutral in color.

I added some Black Enamel Dots to add some balance to the card.

Here's a close-up 

so you can see how cure those Fox Brads are:

I even added a Fox Brad to the inside of the card

A Penny For Your Thoughts

Or in this case, maybe better than a penny... Artist Trading Coins! I (Lauren) have been seeing these 2.5" circles of artsy fun all over social media, and I've been dying to try out the format. It turns out, they're VERY fun --and a bit addictive-- to make. Plus, Eyelet Outlet brads are absolutely the perfect sized embellishment. I made a set of six coins for my first time out, but I already know I'll be making more!

I've mentioned before that I come from a punny family, so I always have lots of random word play in my head. Since this is quite a small format (ATCoins are generally 2.5" circles) just a line or two of text is the perfect fit. I formatted my puns in a free font called "Tahoe" but set off a few key words in a chunky, funky script called "Cry Kitty". I generally print my text on clear inkjet labels, which I trim down and adhere to scraps of patterned paper for a little more emphasis. I made the backgrounds using scraps of more neutral papers, in torn layers, with an accent of Wide Flower Tape in an understated henna shade.

For "All's WOOL That Ends WOOL" I was able to employ both a sheep from the Pig and Sheep set, plus a ball of yarn and needles from our Knitting Brads, while a pair of lovely Chicken Brads illustrate "Just WING It".

This one's a bit of a liberty, because I've actually used a Llama Brad on my "ALPACA" card... so shhhhhhhhhh... don't tell, ok? I couldn't resist adding a couple of Mini Ant Brads because it's a picnic!

I couldn't decide which style of Fox Brad (the packets contain both) to use for "Crazy Like a FOX" so I didn't choose... I added one of each!

Another tiny cheat: technically, these are Duck Brads, but I just couldn't resist the phrase "I've Got GOOSE Bumps"!

My original idea for "Don't Worry, Be HOPPY" was to use one of our adorable Frog Brads (the set has lillies and cattails in it, too!) but as it turned out, all of the other coins were more or less neutral colors, and the bright green frogs realllllllly stood out. So I swapped them out for a pair of handsome Rabbit Brads, instead. I probably shouldn't leave them alone for long though...

I hope you'll be inspired to try your hand at a few Artist Trading Coins, starring some of *your* favorite Eyelet Outlet critters! ♥

Foxy!

I'm here today with a card that is just perfect for a busy, handsome kid who is constantly on-the-go and then crashes hard!   The one that suddenly cares about how he looks, that you can't get to go to bed, and then he sleeps away half of Saturday morning!

The stripes in this designer paper were a perfect border for Eyelet Outlet's fox washi tape, and the prints seemed practically tailor-made for our fox brads too!  They all were so cute I didn't want to have to choose, so I cut strips of several and glued them alongside the washi border, using one of the pre-printed sentiments as a focal point for that cute fox brad.  Couldn't resist adding a few more pops of color and shine with some enamel dots (Mickey colors and blue) too!

The border repeats on the inside, along with more enamel dots and a napping fox atop another one of those sentiments.

Busy, bright, and fun!  Have a great weekend!

Nothing But the Fox

Hi folks!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards.  So happy to be with you!

One of the new additions to the Eyelet Outlet store are these adorable Fox Brads, so I just had to make a card using them.

I used the standing fox, but I'm eager to make another card using the cute sleeping fox as well...so cute!

I created a card base with a peek-a-boo feature, so that I could embellish to my heart's content but still let the fox be the star of the show.  I used Peach Parfait card stock to coordinate well with the fox.  I added some Ruby Red and Garden Green accents.  Whisper White was used for all the printing.  I used a woodland digital paper or the tree background. Three trees from the collection were used as a backdrop for the fox.

The greeting, a play on the phrase The facts...and nothing but the facts, may elude some people as my sense of punny is sometimes extreme.  I bet my DT sister, Lauren, got it immediately as she has the same sort of humor which you can see in this post.

Here's a closer look at the fox in the woods and a nice little accent using the Green Glitter Enamel Dots.  I've loved these enamel dots since I used them on my very first Eyelet Outlet project.

Inside, I continued with the fox theme.  I thought this was particularly cute for one of my friends who is a "mature" woman.  She will get a real kick out of this!

It has been a real pleasure spending time with you today and look forward to the next time we get together.
