The Sweetest and the Coolest

Cardmaking doen't have to be complicated; all you really need is a great sentiment, a couple of Eyelet Outlet Brads and a few coordinating tapes, et voila! This pair of thank you cards play on the words "Sweetest" (with an EO Cupcake Swirl) and "Coolest" (featuring an Ice Cream Brad) set into small diecut hearts, with a tape stack consisting of Pink Checked Tape, Skinny Hearts from the Valentine Set, multicolor Chevron Tape, adorably whimsical Elephant Washi and some Tiny Hearts. Mats of Pink and White Dot Tape and Pink Checked Tape complete the design.

Need a brad to complement YOUR favorite sentiment? The Eyelet Outlet Online Store has exactly what you're looking for!

Valentines Down on the Farm

Valentine's Day is just a month away, but luckily Eyelet Outlet has all the brads, washi tape, bling and enamel accents you could possibly need to make cards that are uniquely yours. This pair of punny valentines feature our Pig and Sheep Brads with hearts of Pink & White Dot Tape and diecut X's and O's of Tiny Heart Washi with computer generated sentiments (the very useful free font is called Bohemian Typewriter).

Check out the Eyelet Outlet Store for lots more embellishments, as well as the very inspiring Ideas Gallery!

Whole Latte Love

Brand new Iced Coffee Brads in the Eyelet Outlet Shop are definitely cause for celebration, and obviously need their very own punny card:

I couldn't resist drawing tiny kawaii faces on the fancy Iced Coffees, but of course they are perfectly awesome without such embellishment. This turned out to be quite a CAS card, as I wanted the conversation/sentiment to really stand out, so the only other thing I added was a trio of Heart Brads and a mat of Tiny Hearts Tape.

Stay tuned to the EO Blog for more awesome ideas from the Design Team!

Hogs and Kisses

Valentine's Day is Sunday, but there's still time to make a funny, punny card, especially if you have some Eyelet Outlet Pig and Sheep Brads!

I (Lauren) made a fast background with Tiny Heart Tape and then chose cardstock colors to coordinate. I made my "Hogs and Kisses" sentiment using chunky foam alphabet stickers and added two adorable Pig Brads to the letter O. Finally, I scattered a few Heart Brads and I was done! Super-fast, super-fun and super-cute, right?!

cannot resist the combination

of brads and puns!

Hoppy, Hoppy, Hoppy...

...Valentine's Day! Just in case you need a few fast card ideas before Friday, I (Lauren) have three takes on HOPPI-ness, Eyelet Outlet style!

My first card features the ever-adorable Frog Brads, on a background of Cloud Washi and Water Tape, with half a Paper Flower serving as a lilypad. I used nested heart dies to trim my little scene into an appropriate Valentine shape, and added my sentiment with mixed letter stickers. At the very end, I added three white Heart Pearls.

It's less obvious at first, but beer can also be described as "HOPPY" so my second card features one of the bottles and a mug from our Beer Brads on a background of Beer Tape, sitting on a bar made of Hardwood Floor Washi. A few yellow Heart Enamels and we were good to go!

Heading back into cuuuuuute territory, this sweet little pair of Rabbit Brads (the packs contain both styles) is surrounded by diecut hearts made of Tiny Heart Washi and Checked Tape, with a couple of Heart Brad accents. 

Eyelet Outlet has a brad (and a style of tape!) to make a card that embodies pretty much ANY diabolical pun you can devise. For Valentine's Day, St. Pat's, Easter and beyond! ♥

Lauren Bergold

wishes you the very

HOPPIEST

of Valentine's Days!

So BEARY Cute!

There are new (adorable!) Polar Bear Brads at Eyelet Outlet and I (Lauren) just could not wait to make some fun and wintery Valentines!

I formatted the sentiment on my computer using two free fonts (Bohemian Typewriter and Manuscript) then opted to swap out the word "Together" for alphabet stickers in foam and fabric covered chipboard. I made the mostly-white card first, because I wanted to pair the Polars with our Snowflake Bling and Snowflake Tape. But then I wondered if the result was maybe a little too monochromatic??

So for my second card I decided to add in a pop of red in the form of some nice bold mats, plus a background of Tiny Heart Washi and a base of Checked Tape behind the Polar Bears. A few Snowflake Brads later I was calling it done!

I hope you'll be inspired to make some BEARY cute Valentines with your favorite Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tape! ♥

hopes never to live in a place where

New Year's Toast!

May I (Lauren) and the rest of the Eyelet Outlet gang be amongst the first to wish you a very happy, healthy and creative 2020!

My first idea for a classic New Year's card was of course to use the Champagne Flutes from the Wedding Brads set, but as the words, "New Year's Toast" were circulating through my mind, I kept thinking about the Toast Brads from the Breakfast set which of course I could pair with my Lawn Fawn "Love and Breakfast" stamps, so that's what I decided to make instead. I used the red, aqua and pink of Tiny Heart Washi as my color inspiration, and lined up strips of that tape neatly on plain white cardstock to be my second-to-bottom layer of this bright and happy card.

I hope the New Year is treating you well so far! ♥
