Turn On The Music!

One thing I like so much about Eyelet Outlet is that you can find brads to fit any theme. Case in point is today's music card which features Record Brads and Music Note Brads that tie in perfectly with the ephemera piece I chose to use.

To make my card, I also used two washi tapes. I used Flower Summer Washi for the outside border. The interior piece is made of strips of Green Pattern Washi Tape. The color of this washi tape happened to beautifully match the record album and also compliments the ephemera piece by adding a touch of femininity. I also made a white cardstock frame which I popped up on foam tape. 

Once that was complete, I added two Record Brads and two Music Note Brads. The final touch is two green Glitter Enamel Dots. Perfection!

You Rock!

Today I've made a valentine that celebrates the rocker. This card is shaped like a vinyl record. The jacket is decorated with Record Brads and Music Note Brads. The patterned background is created with strips of Music Washi and Instrument Washi Tape. 

Inside the decorated record jacket, a record shaped card is decorated with Heart Enamel Shapes. Inside the card, I added an additional strip of Music Washi Tape for some extra interest.

 This card was cut with a pattern from the Silhouette Store. It was easy to make and super cute!

For the Record...

We want to wish you a Happy Birthday!!

 When I saw the adorable vinyl record brads, I knew I want to do a fun, girly, vintage inspired birthday tag! I loved playing on the pinks and golds with adding the sparkly light brown glitter washi tape and pearl bling jewel stickers. I added an array of ribbon and think this would be a fun tag to add to a birthday present for a sweet girlfriend!

For The Record

For the record, I think all the Eyelet Outlet products are great, but I've always been attracted to our vinyl record brads. There are 45's (small ones) and LP's (bigger ones) in the package and of course, they pair great with our music note brads.  

It was quite a few years ago, but I fondly remember my first record player which looked a lot like the one I've used on this card.  This one is a Cricut image and so is the neat little border that I thought looked like records.  I substituted the 'O' in the text with one of the record brads and added a few more along side the record player and a few music note brads finished it off nicely.

 

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree!

My husband was a DJ back in the 60's and there's nothing he enjoys more than listening to his record collection on his 50+ year old jukebox!  

Eyelet Outlet products were just the right thing to help me wrap his Christmas gift in an extra special way!

The jukebox is from Cricut's Nifty Fifties image set and I used Eyelet Outlet record brads, and music notes to embellish this slider.  I also used various sizes and colors of Eyelet Outlet enamel dots to adorn the Christmas tree.

Pretty sure he's going to love this!

Thanks for stopping by!  We'd love to see how you've used our products in your holiday wrapping!  Join us at Eyelet Outlet Fans on Facebook!

 

You Rock!

Remember the good old days of records and record players? I was a teen in the 80's so I am old enough to remember buying my favorite albums before cassettes came into favor with the Walkman. Wow! That'll take you back won't it? This card features the fantastic Record - Vinyl Brad Set. This set is awesome for any music themed project.

 

I printed the album graphic on glossy photo paper. Using photo papers to print graphics has become one of my favorite things to do recently. The printouts are so clear and bright. The vintage record player stamp comes from this past year's retro holiday card kit from Hero Arts. Honestly, I could have done without it but it was fun to color it up. The sentiment is heat embossed with a sparkle black powder. I love the shine but it was hard to capture in the photo. I stamped the music notes but Eyelet Outlet has a Music Notes Brad Set that I don't yet own. Those would have been even better on this card. The red, white and blue cardstock is from DCWV and called Tie-Dyed Stack. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a rockin' and rollin' kind of day!

For the Record

Eyelet Outlet Record Brads, that is! They're the newest release in the EO Store and bound to be a big hit if you ask me (Lauren)! Here are a couple of cards I made:

As often happens, I had two ideas. In this case one was pretty minimal and one was... ummmmm... not, lol. Let's start with the maximalist version: A long sentiment made of Dymo labels and foam stickers, with the O's swapped out in favor of the larger Record Brads, with a few extra large and small records scattered about, and a band of Skinny Tape at the top and bottom.

And here's the minimalist take: shorter sentiment, but again the Record Brads stand in for the O's in "You Rock". In addition to scattering a few more records, I've added some Music Note Brads and some tiny red Star Sequins over a few stenciled stars.

When you can't decided between two ideas, why not MAKE BOTH! I promise, we have plenty of Eyelet Outlet Brads for you to experiment with!

Lauren Bergold

is old enough to know that 

the Big Records are LP's or albums 

and the small ones are 45's or singles.

(& YES she had tons of both Back in the Day!)

Party Time

Today's card entitled "Party Time" is a versatile card that is full of whimsy.

This card is fun and it can be used for a party invitation or any celebration event.  Put on the records, bring the wireless headphones, and the sheep are having their own kind of party!  Who wouldn't love some dancing sheep---even the bird wants to get in on it!

You Rock!

I'm excited to show you a project today that features Eyelet Outlet's newest brad!  We now have records in the Eyelet Outlet store - both LP's and 45's, so let's get ready to ROCK!

My Cricut machine was instrumental in creating this card.  I started out with two sound wave image from Cricut's Sound Wave image set and two 5" x 3 1/2" rectangles on my design canvas.  First, I centered then sliced a sound wave image into one of the rectangles. I added my sentiment to this rectangle, omitting the "O" in "Rock," since my record brad was going to serve that purpose.  On the second rectangle, I centered and attached the sound wave image, setting the image to draw rather than cut, ending up with two rectangles looking like this:

Next it was time for the skinny washi tape!  Eyelet Outlet has oodles of colors and patterns, but I stuck to the solids in a rainbow of colors.

Using the drawn lines of the sound wave, I was able to apply my washi tape exactly where it needed to be and then I adhered the two rectangles together and applied my record brad as well as some Eyelet Outlet music note brads for a finishing touch!

Thanks for stopping in and enjoy the day with those you love!
