Happy Birthday Card

 

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a birthday card embellished with Eyelet Outlet brads and enamel dots.  Eyelet Outlet has super cute supplies to use on birthday cards.

I used a rectangle die to cut out the brown dotted background, then used a frame die to add a border.  I die cut the happy birthday sentiment out of shimmer cardstock.  Then I decorated the card with a donut brad, cupcake swirl brad, and ice cream brad.  The "i" in birthday is embellished with a glitter enamel dot.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a fun birthday card.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

A Card That's Mint to Be! 🍦🍨🍧

 
Hey, EO fans! Last week I made a hot grilling card, but this week I'm cooling things off with a sweet ice cream card in yummy mint and strawberry colors. It says, "You're my favorite flavor." I bet you can guess what mine is... Yep! Mint chocolate chip is my ice cream of choice. Yum!

I made this card using a die set from my stash to form the mint chocolate chip ice cream bar. For the chocolate chips, I used a combination of small dark brown circles and the smallest Black Matte Enamel Dots. I topped the bar with an adorable Stitched Flower Brad. Next, I created the oval embellishment with a circle border stamp and a scallop die. It features two yummy Ice Cream Cone Brads in the center. I popped the ice cream embellishment up on foam tape and set it aside.

For a simple yet interesting background, I cut a piece of heavy ivory cardstock and ran it through a 3D embossing folder. I then dabbed some pink ink on the raised areas of the design and splattered some of the same pink ink on top to add a fun speckled look.

To put the card together, I first created an A2-sized card base out of cream cardstock and glued on the embossed mat. I then placed the sentiment strip and my other embellishments, finishing it off with a few more matte black enamel dots for a final touch.

Summer Vibes

Summer in New Jersey can be pretty hot and very humid, but it's still my (Lauren's) favorite season, and here's a card that celebrates some of my favorite summer treats, in Eyelet Outlet Brad form! 

I used a favorite set of bold alphabet stencils and six sizzling shades of Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick, Mermaid Lagoon, Spiced Marmalade, Tumbled Glass, Mustard Seed and Twisted Citron to be precise) to write the word, "Summer" across my slimline-sized panel. I matted the whole thing on a piece of white cardstock covered in strips of Color Wheel Washi, then added a nice selection of brads, including: Beach Umbrella, Flip Flop Brads, Mini Ladybug, Cocktail Brads, Mini Emotion, Tall Palm, Sandcastle, Flamingo, Colored Daisy Brads, Mini Bees, Ice Cream, Sun and Pastel Sunglass Brads. I hope whatever your favorite Summer Vibes might be, that you'll enjoy a few of them today!

Lauren Bergold

would not mind an ice cream 

cone right now! 

What's the Scoop?

 What's your favorite summer treat? For me, it's an ice cream cone. This one is decorated with a Sunglass brad and a Cherry brad. As accents I added Ice Cream brads. It looks super yummy doesn't it? 

I made the pastel background with chalk paint and used Zig Zag Washi Tape - Pink and Purple as a border. I stamped the sentiment and used a scissor to hand cut the speech bubble. 

I enjoyed making this simple but cute card using Eyelet Outlet brads and washi tape. The only bad thing is that now I'm hungry!

Calendar Girl

When I (Lauren) saw this super-fun, extra-wide Calendar Washi in the Eyelet Outlet Store, I knew immediately that I wanted to adorn it with a year's worth of seasonal brads. I confess it didn't occur to me that I'd wind up with with 29 brads from 21 sets on a 6.5 x 5.5" card; but that's cool too!

Here's the brad list, month by month; try to spot my very silly mistake! January: Penguin and Snowflake Brads; February: Heart Brads; March: Bluebird and Robin Brads plus a Mini Bee; April: Chick and Colored Egg Brad; May: Colored Daisy and Mini Ladybug; July: the Hat from our patriotic Flag and Hat set; June: Tall Palm Tree and Colorful Sunglass Brad; August: Ice Cream and the Sun from the Sun and Cloud Brad set; September: Book Brad and a School Bus; October: Pumpkin and Mini Spiders (they're on sale!); November: Mini Leaves and the Rake from our Lawn Mower set; December: Santa and Mrs. Claus.

So did you catch the error? Yep. I accidentally swapped June and July!!! And what's more I didn't even notice until I was writing up this post! Oh well, technically June has Flag Day and July is still a nice month for the beach, so let's just keep this between ourselves, ok? Thanks!

does actually know the months of the year... 

Cool love!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun card that could be used for a Valentine, an anniversary or wedding, or just because! This card design is super simple and features some of our newest brads in the store, which I just love, paired with some awesome Washi Tape! I've always loved Washi Tape in general, but my love is slowly growing to an addiction, lol!

I cut a standard A2 sized top-folding white card base along with a slightly smaller black cardstock panel. I created a computer-generated sentiment, printed it and trimmed it with sentiment in the top one-third of the panel which I layered on the black cardstock panel. I covered a piece of cardstock with Pink Checked Washi Tape and die cut a stitched square. I added two Ice Cream Brads and several tiny black punched hearts, then adhered the die cut piece to the layered white panel which I adhered to the card base. 

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

Be Mine!

Valentines are some of my (Lauren's) favorite cards to make, especially since I have a niece whose birthday is February 14th. Like me, she loves lots of color and sparkle, so I have pulled out all the stops for this card and used eight different Eyelet Outlet brad styles with ten varieties of (pink!) washi tape!

I started by choosing a center point on my 6" square card to be the connection for my starburst of different tapes. Then I somewhat randomly layered a bunch of my favorite Valentine-friendly designs, concentrating on those which had lots of pink in them, including: Tiny Heart Tape, Glitter Heart Tape, Glitter Pink, Macaron Washi, Unicorn Tape, Foil Rose Tape, Heart Arrow Tape, Pink Dot Washi, Checked Pink Tape and Gold Foil XO Tape, which is technically not at all pink, but worked well anyway.

Then I added my diecut heart, a Hello Kitty cut-out, and glitter alphabet sentiment over the place where all of the tapes met. Finally, it was time to add the brads. Again, I went mostly by color, but luckily there were lots of things that matched which I know Miss Riley loves, such as: Heart Brads, Donut Brads, a starfish from the Sea Shore Brads, the pink glittery tiara from the Crown and Tiara set, an Ice Cream Brad and a Stitched Flower.

Whatever color your Valentine loves best, I bet there are a bunch of fun Eyelet Outlet Brads and Washi Tape Styles that will coordinate perfectly! ♥

Lauren Bergold

wishes you a very 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Melting For You!

Hello everyone! I love little puns and our new ice cream brads make that so fun and easy to do. Here's one that uses a sweet treat to tell someone how much they are loved. 

To make this card, I first penciled in a drippy shape on dark brown cardstock and fussy cut it to fit at the top of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat set it with white embossing powder. Then I cut a panel of cardstock in a tan color and stamped it with a lattice background to give the illusion of a cone. I applied glitter skinny washi tape on the edges of my card front.

Next I placed the ice cream brads, enamel hearts and pink bling on the brown cardstock around the sentiment and glued both the brown and tan pieces on to the front of the card. Before I did that, I rounded two of the corners. To make the drips look a wet, I applied glossy accents to the edges of the shaped brown cardstock. 

Thanks for stopping in today and I hope this gave you some card making ideas of your own. Have a great Sunday!

We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun birthday card featuring something most of us love... ice cream! And no matter whether you love chocolate, strawberry or vanilla, we have you covered! These adorable brads are new in the store this month so be sure to check them out!

I cut a square card base and adhered a panel of blue cardstock. I layered strips of Glitter Dot Washi Tape on a piece of white cardstock leaving a very thin margin between the strips, and then cut it with a postage stamp die. I layered the die cut on a blue cardstock panel and then on white. I created the sentiment on the computer and cut it in a strip which I angled across the die cut. I added several Ice Cream Brads and adhered the piece to the card base. The final step was adding White Enamel Dots in the corners. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Here's the Scoop

 The newest Eyelet Outlet brad style is pretty sweet: who can resist Ice Cream Brads? Certainly not me (Lauren) so I thought I'd celebrate by making a card.

There are three "flavors" in each packet: strawberry and chocolate, vanilla and chocolate, plus strawberry and vanilla. But I found it much too hard to choose, and since they're totally free of sugar, fat and calories, I adorned my oversized sentiment with one of each. I scattered a few white Heart Brads around as well and matted my panel on some Glitter Pink Design Tape.

Whether you are (like me!) a total Sweet Tooth, or prefer something a bit more savory, there are Eyelet Outlet Food Brads for literally EVERY taste!

Lauren Bergold

confesses that she doesn't love

strawberry ice cream irl,

but it's her favorite flavor to design 

with since it's PINK!

Have You Heard the Scoop?

Have you heard the scoop?  Eyelet Outlet has just released ice cream cone brads and today I've got a couple of cards featuring them!

First up is a card that has all three flavor combinations.  The ice cream paper I used is a from a digital paper set from Erin Bradley's Etsy Shop and I've also used our pink bow glitter washi tape and pink check skinny washi tape.  Some pink pearl stick on gems accent the scalloped circle.

Next up is a card that's a sweet way to say, "I'm sorry," which would be great as a belated birthday card.

The little girl is from the Cricut image library and her face is a digital stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps.  A pink enamel heart adds a touch more texture.  

Thanks for being with us today!  Be sure to join the Eyelet Outlet Fans group on Facebook and show us how you've used the new ice cream cone brads!
