The grass is getting greener, the flowers are starting to bloom... it must be Spring! Celebrate with a bright and beautiful card featuring Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads, brand new Tulip Brads, Bright Stitched Flowers, Heart Brads and a big, bold sentiment cut from Pink Dot Washi Tape!
Hello EO fans! I'm excited to be here today to show off a card using some of Eyelet Outlet's versatile products. I made this card using a quilting die. Before I cut the pieces out, I covered white cardstock with three different washi tapes. I used Flower & Feather Washi Tape, Blue Dot Washi Tape, and Strawberry Washi Tape. Then I cut the die out three times so that I could mix the pieces together to get the quilted look you see here. I picked three complimentary colored and patterned washi tapes
Once I inlaid all the quilt pieces, I heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and attached it to the card. The final touches are a Blue Glitter Enamel Dot, a Red Heart Brad and a Giraffe Brad. Love it!
Eyelet Outlet Brads pair beautifully with all of your smaller critter stamps! For example this sweet bunny is just the right size to be friends with one of our adorable Chick Brads, while the egg stamp from the same set was perfect for creating some colorful eggs from patterned paper scraps, then adorning them with a Pastel Rabbit, a Heart Brad (with stamped carrot!) and a Stitched Flower, as well as some strips of Bunny and Carrot Washi Tape. The background features Wide Sky Washi and Zig Zag Tape.
Welcome February, the month of love! "Let all you do be done in love." 1 Corinthians 16:14
I began with stamping my various hearts and valentine themed stamps in a variety of pink and red inks! Next, I added my "Happy Valentine's Day" washi tape and vintage rose patterned washi to my pages. Lastly, I embellished with heart brads, heart enamel dots, and pink jewel dots.
I am excited to stay on track and write in my plans for February! I hope this inspires you to keep planning your 2024 and stay organized in a creative way!

SHOPPING LIST:
I created the perfect flower arrangement that not only cost waaaay less than real flowers, these ones will last forever! No more having to pitch dead daffodils, lackluster lilies, raunchy roses or mushy marigolds (that was fun...lol 😊).
So, if you feel like mixing it up a bit this Valentine’s Day, make your own flower arrangement. With embellishments from EO and a few things laying around your house, you can create this too! I mean, who wouldn’t smile ear to ear if they received this?!?!?
Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

Eyelet Outlet's awesome new Sugar Skull Brads are not just for Dia de los Muertos, they are pretty fabulous in a fanciful tattoo cluster, as well! Here they're paired with Rose Brads, a white Heart and the handsome blue lizard from our Reptile Set.
Even if you do not have a stash of craft supplies
at your disposal to create handmade cards, you can still have all the fun using
Eyelet Outlets brads and bling!
For this week’s creation, I didn’t make any
cards…nope…I BOUGHT them from my local Dollar store!! I bought the three plainest
looking cards I could find knowing Eyelet Outlet would come to my rescue to help jazz them up!
Check these out!
For the Happy Birthday card, I used a variety
of colors from the Lollipop
Brads, multi colored pearl bling, and two
different washi-tapes in the corners – the Dot Washi Tape and
the Glitter
Chevron Washi Tape.
For the Baby Girl card, I used a Safety Pin Brad,
several Heart Brads,
pink Jewel Bling,
white pearl bling
and some white Pearl Swirl
Bling.
You don’t have to make handmade cards from scratch to use EO’s goodies. As you can see, any store-bought card can be transformed into a handmade card that is cute enough to be the gift!
Have a wonderful week
and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

The new Eyelet Outlet Sugar Skull Brads are beautiful at ANY time, but they're especially cool in October leading up to the Day of the Dead. This card adds red Rose Brads, a parrot from the Tropical Bird set, two handsome lizards from our Reptile set and Heart Brads to capture a little bit of the color and spirit of Dia de los Muertos.
Eyelet Outlet Brads work beautifully with lots of different stamps, dies, stickers, papers and of course diecuts! These cute little shirts are the second smallest in Hero Arts' T-Shirt Infinity Die Set; each one has been cut from a different EO Washi Tape Style and the pairings are as follows: Sky Tape with a Flamingo Brad; Orange Fan Tape with a Beach Umbrella; Green Sprinkles Tape with a Chick; Green Dot Washi and the blue gecko from our Reptile Set; Rainbow Tape with a Sun Brad; Heart Tape and a Heart Brad; Star Night Star Bright Tape with a Unicorn; Chicken Washi with a Lady Bug; and Blue and White Dot Tape with a Monster Brad.

I've got a new craft to show you today. Well, it's new to me. Altered paper clips have been showing up on Pinterest for a while now, but I recently gave them a try and I'm hooked on them! I've made mine out of felt and cut with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade. I had all kinds of fun embellishing them with brads from Eyelet Outlet.
Check out the gorgeous new rose brads! There are red, pink and these pink and white variegated ones I've used today. I paired them with a leaf brad and a mini bee brad.
If friends were flowers... I'd pick you!
I have really enjoyed playing with all the fun Valentine accessories that Eyelet Outlet offers! For this card, I used the "Happy Valentine's Day" washi tape to create my striped background. I then stamped my image and layered on another piece of cardstock that I bordered with the purple glitter washi. After coloring my image with alcohol inks, I embellished by adding various enamel hearts and heart brads. Lastly, I layered my card on red cardstock! I hope you enjoy! Making Valentine's is a favorite of mine!

Later this month there are some fabulous new brad styles coming to Eyelet Outlet, so here's a little sneak peek at our Cactus Brads. They are wonderful all on their own, but even better when paired with Cactus Tape, Brick Washi and Wood Tape to make a little scene. There's also a yellow lily from our Frog Brad Set, a small red Heart and a Mini Ladybug Brad getting in on the action.
...Be My Valentine!
