Thankful for Your Friendship

 This is a great time of year to remember what you are thankful for, especially as the year begins to draw to a close. This week's card is simple but it packs a punch in its color and basic shapes.

This card relies on color and texture for it's impact. The Thankful word is accented with all the things that remind us of fall. Sunflowers, a pumpkin, fall leaves and a scarecrow all give the fall vibes. Also used for some additional shine is skinny metallic stripe washi tape. 

The word is made with a clever stencil that allows you to overlap the letters. I placed it on metallic bronze paper with cardstock scallop borders. Let's face it though, it's the EO brads that really make this card special.

Stop by the store and pick up your fall brads before the season is over!

Fall Days Scrapbook Page

We share a lot of cardmaking projects here at Eyelet Outlet, but don't forget that our products are fabulous embellishments for scrapbooking!

I created this page in Cricut Design Space. I used felt and burlap to create the scarecrow and embellished his hat with a stitched flower brad.  

For the title I added a few of our popular leaf brads in fall colors as well as a scarecrow brad. No fall page would be complete without a few of our wonderful pumpkin brads.

Now I just need to add this year's fall photo of the grandkids!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Harvest Thanks

 

Happy Saturday Eyelet Outlet fans!! I'm definitely into fall right now and EO always has just what you need to make cards great no matter the theme. Today, I have a harvest themed card that features EO's Scarecrow Brads, Rooster Brads, Pumpkin Brads, Sunflower Brads, and Orange Pearl Bling.When I run across unique ephemera like the one I used here, I can't help but get excited about how great EO products will elevate it into something even better and do it so easily! 

To create the scene, I cut a gold stitched mat for my A2 card. I made a frame by nesting 2 other stitched frames together before running them through my die cut machine. I ran a piece of chocolate cardstock through a wood 3-D folder and cut it to fit inside the orange frame. I stamped and heat embossed the word Thankful on dark purple cardstock, and stamped and cut the For You sentiment.

I layered all these pieces together and glued the ephemera in place. I added all the brads and pearl bling to make a really great harvest scene that I look forward to mailing off to family soon!

Thankful Harvest

 
It's the last weekend before Thanksgiving. If you are in the United States, most of you are thinking about gatherings centering around family with a harvest of bounty, the Thanksgiving Feast! I have been busy shopping and prepping for the day. How about you?

Today I've combined a die cut image with several EO brads and a pumpkin washi tape. It's pretty simple to enhance die cuts with brads that fit the theme. I've used many here on the pumpkin flower scene.

To make the card, I start by cutting the die cuts out of white cardstock. Then I color the shapes with Copic markers. You can shade your die cuts this way. I also enhanced a yellow paper flower with a marker. To make the background, I covered a piece of cardstock with pumpkin washi tape and then cut it and a shadow layer out with scalloped dies. 

Once all the cuts were ready, I began to piece the die cuts and I placed many accent brads amongst the die cuts. I included sunflowers, leaves, pumpkin, acorn, scarecrow, and butterflies.

SHOPPING LIST:
Butterfly Brads

Acorn and Squirrel Brads

Leaf Brads

Pumpkin Brads

Scarecrow Brads

Sunflower Brads

Yellow Paper Flower

Pumpkin Washi Tape  

I hope you enjoyed my card and I thank you for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Gratitude Recorded

 Do you keep a November Gratitude Journal? For the last couple of years, I have participated in writing daily gratitude using a traveler's notebook. This year, I decided to do rolodex cards!

I started with creating a rolodex template and began adding my stamps. I added the year, month, and my "focus" on the first rolodex card. For the second card, I used a lined stamp to create my background and lines for journaling.

Lastly, I embellished with Eyelet Outlet's beautiful Autumn themed washi tapes and brads! The possibilities are endless! I hope you are inspired to create a way to cultivate and record your daily gratitude this November.

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

I Like Fall Best of All!

Fall is my favorite color!  I absolutely love the warm oranges, golds and browns in a fall color pallet and this card captures them all.  

Eyelet Outlet has so many gorgeous brads that celebrate the fall season and the newest are these awesome acorns from the Squirrel and Acorn set.  I've also used some of our leaf brads, a pumpkin brad and a cute little scarecrow brad on this project.

I like fall best of all!

 

Signs of Fall

Pumpkins, scarecrows, foxes, pinecones, fall leaves, and the NEW acorns and squirrel brads!

Harvest Friendships

 Autumn is a time to harvest friendships!

I am enjoying the colors of Autumn! I started with stamping my scarecrow image and coloring with alcohol ink markers. I created a background for my image using the wood grain washi. Lastly, I used a standard card base embellishing with the pumpkin washi, scarecrow brads, and fall brads!

A-MAZ-ING Birthday!

A few weeks ago I told you these buckle cards were addicting!  I've got another one for you today that's perfect for an Autumn birthday.

Most of the images I used for this card came from the Cricut image library.  I love the Eyelet Outlet scarecrow brads I used on the buckle part of the card!  I also used a few of our popular pumpkin brads on the front.  

There's some tutorials on YouTube for card using Buckle Fold cards using punches.  If you are a Cricut crafter, I've shared a version of this card on my Cricut profile.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an A-MAZE-day!

 

Happy Turkey Day!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US, so this seems like the perfect time for a card that sums up the holiday, in Eyelet Outlet Brad style. Chunky diecut letters make a nice home for a combination of Pumpkin Brads, a handsome Scarecrow, a Rake, lots of Mini Leaves, and Fall Stitched Flowers with their Mini Stitched Flower friends. 

Wishing the happiest of holidays to all those who are celebrating! Meanwhile, should you need a little retail therapy over this wonderful weekend for shopping, the Eyelet Outlet Online Store is open 24/7!

Falling for You

 

Fall is such a fun season. I love the deep rich colors. It's comforting to think of all the comforts of fall - hot apple pie, colorful leaves, scarecrows, apple picking and of course pumpkins! 

My card was created by using EO's Sunflower Washi Tape as a background. On top, I placed a wood and wire cover plate die cut. I made my shaker pumpkin by modifying a pumpkin pattern in Cricut Design Space. Then I filled it EO's awesome Pumpkin Sequins. I stamped the top of the window with the sentiment, "Every year I fall for pumpkins, autumn leaves, hay rides, cozy sweaters and you!" It's a bit hard to pick up in the photo but it is easy to read in person. Finally I cut two circles out of matching silver and orange cardstock and placed a rake from the Lawn Mower Brads, an Apple Brad and a Scarecrow Brad.

Framing Fall

When I (Lauren) saw this awesome Frame Washi in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store I couldn't wait to use it to show off a little collection of my favorite brads. Since we're heading into September and  looking forward to all things autumnal, a collection of Fall Brads, like Scarecrows, Sunflowers, Apples, Leaf Brads and Mini Leaves seemed appropriate. Of course, with so many leaves, I needed the Rake from the Lawnmower Set (which is on sale!); and then I couldn't resist adding Sun and Cloud Brads. Butterflies and Mini Ladybugs aren't specifically autumnal, but the colors work nicely together, don't you think? A few strips of Script Tape set off the Frame cluster really well; and as a finishing touch, it's hard to beat a scattering of golden orange Sequins.

What's your favorite thing about autumn? Because I bet we have EO Brads and Tapes that will work perfectly!

Fall Banner

Eyelet Outlet brads aren't just for paper-crafting!  Today I have a cute home decor project for you.  

I created this fall banner for my home on my Cricut Maker.  The Maker and rotary blade cut all the burlap and felt for the project flawlessly.  For the layered felt elements, I ironed fusible webbing to the back of the felt and removed the paper liner before cutting the images with the Maker. Then I steamed ironed the layers together.

Eyelet Outlet has so many great fall and Halloween themed brads and adding them to my burlap pendants was super easy.  Since the weave is quite loose, I didn't even have to make holes for the prongs to fit through.

The brads I used for this project were the pumpkins, leaves, scarecrow, lollipop, and candy corn.  

If you've used Eyelet Outlet brads for any of your home decor projects, we'd love to see, so be sure and tag us on Instagram!

A Beautiful Fall Day...

 ...in card form, that is! Featuring lots of lovely autumnal brad styles and washi tape from Eyelet Outlet!

I (Lauren) made a background panel of Green and Gold Foil Dots Tape and a strip covered with Pumpkin Tape large enough to hold three fall-bedecked inchies. Then came the fun part, adding the brads! From top to bottom, I used: Apple Brads, Sunflower, Mini Ladybug, Scarecrow Brads, a rake from the Lawn Mower Set, Mini Leaves, a Truck and a Pumpkin Brad.

I hope you're having a beautiful fall day, but if not, why not make your own, using Eyelet Outlet seasonal embellies?!
