Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes

 I created this meme-inspired birthday card for my older brother and I think he's going to get a kick out of it!  We've all heard the children's rhyme, "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes," and now we have the adult version of that rhyme: "Wallet, glasses, keys and phone!"

The little old man image is from Paint Pixel Co. on Etsy. He's part of a darling set of funny old men clip art images that I just love! I used Eyelet Outlet wide sky washi tape for the background behind the man and I used Cricut images for the wallet and keys. Then I added a pair of eyeglasses and cell phone brads from Eyelet Outlet.

Roses in Bloom

 There are few Spring sights prettier than roses, in full bloom, climbing up a trellis. If they're Eyelet Outlet Rose Brads and Yellow Rose Brads, climbing up a cardstock trellis, they are every bit as beautiful, far more mail-able, and completely non-allergenic! With extra wide Sky Washi and Brick Tape creating the background and green Leaf Brads clustered among the blooms, it's no wonder that some Mini Butterfly Brads have gathered to enjoy the scene.

Time for a BBQ!

Is it just me or does it seem as though we skipped over spring and went straight to summer? We've already had several barbecues and it isn't even Memorial Day yet. Those barbecues gave me the inspiration to create this cute, inexpensive, and functional silverware caddy that is perfect for any BBQ.

 

I started out with just a plain wood box that I purchased from the dollar store along with some cute BBQ themed napkins (I do admit the napkins were a bit busy- but it was perfect for what I was going for!).

I cut out all the cute BBQ items from the napkins.

I then decoupaged the cut out pieces onto the wood box and let it sit overnight. 

 

The next morning, it was time for the fun to begin and to Add all my embellishments from Eyelet outlet.

I added multiple brads such as the Beer Brads, the Cooler and Soda Brads and BBQ Apron and BBQ Brads over all four sides and pop-dotted them on for dimension.

 

I purchased some dollar store plastic silverware, wrap them in a basic napkin, and sealed them with the Wide Sky Washi Tape and the Wide Wood Washi Tape.

This little BBQ caddy was so much fun to make and is not only cute but is also practical and I guarantee it will be the talk of the BBQ table!

Always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

Life is Simple Retirement Card

Hey everybody! Here's wishing you a wonderful week ahead! Leslie here, back as a guest designer (filling in for Janet), sharing a mini slimline retirement card using our Village by the Sea Washi Tape, Wide Wood Washi Tape, Wide Sky Washi Tape and Sun & Cloud Brads! I love creating little scenes on my cards and it was fun watching this one come to life! I cut a 3-1/2" x 6" mini slimline card base from heavyweight white cardstock along with a layering panel from a lighter weight white cardstock which I covered with Wide Sky Washi Tape and Village by the Sea Washi Tape (trimmed along the tops of the buildings). I added a plank created from a narrow strip of white cardstock covered with Wide Wood Washi Tape along with Sun and Cloud Brads, and then stamped the sentiment and some birds in StazOn Jet Black ink. 

I cut the inside panel from white cardstock and embellished it with a strip of kraft cardstock, and then stamped the sentiment in light brown ink.

Wide Washi Sentiment

I don't think I (Lauren) have ever used the same set of products two weeks in a row, but after I made the Dog Days of Summer card last week, I had a brainstorm about using the combination of Wide Sky Washi and Grass Tape that made up the background with one of my chunkier sets of alphabet dies and making the sentiment BE the scene. So that's what I did:

I neatly applied a piece of Sky Tape to plain white cardstock, then slightly overlapped the Grass Tape on top. I used my Altenew Bold Alpha dies to cut out the word, "Happy" and added White Daisy Brads and a sweet Mini Ladybug to the scene. I applied multiple strips of Brick Tape to another panel of cardstock, making it larger than I needed to mat the first panel, so that I'd have enough extra to cut the word, "Birthday" using my Lawn Fawn Henry's ABCs dies. 

To get extra mileage out of your favorite Eyelet Outlet supplies, why not try reversing the way you usually use them... in this case, bring the background into the foreground... and see what happens?!

playing with washi tape! 

HOPPY Birthday

Nothing makes for a more RIBBET-ing birthday card than Eyelet Outlet Frog Brads. As if the frogs themselves weren't already cute enough, the sets also come with cattails, plus purple and yellow waterlilies. So you basically have all the ingredients for an entire scene... (and inspiration for an appropriately punny sentiment!) ...in just ONE little pack of brads! 

You could make a wonderful card with just an inky background and some Wide Sky Washi Tape, but in this case, I stamped the pond edge from Sunny Studios' Country Scenes set, colored it with Tombow Dual Brush pens to perfectly match the brads, and added a sweet little Mini Butterfly, which is on sale. I hope you'll agree this card is TOAD-ily awesome!

Fun Card for That RVing Beach-Loving Friend!

Hey everybody! Leslie here sharing a super cute card which is perfect for that RVing beach-loving friend! Everybody has a few of those, right?! This was a fun scene to create and features our Water Washi Tape, Sky Washi Tape Wide, Tall Palm Tree Brads, Sun & Cloud Brads, BBQ Brads and Flip Flop Brads. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from white cardstock along with a layering panel from 80# white cardstock which I covered with a strip of Water Washi Tape and a strip of wide Sky Washi Tape. I tore a strip of kraft paper and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I hand-cut a sand bar from brown cardstock, adhered it to the washi tape seam, and added two Tall Palm Tree Brads. I added a die cut and embossed camper, a BBQ Brad and Flip Flop Brads. I stamped the sentiment in StazOn ink, added a sun brad from the Sun & Cloud Brads, and adhered the panel to the card base. 

I cut the inside panel from 80# white cardstock and embellished the bottom with the leftover piece of torn kraft paper used on the front. I stamped the sentiment in blue ink and layered the panel on blue cardstock.

Great nautical masculine card with our new brads!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a nautical masculine card for that boat-loving friend featuring our new Boat & Lighthouse Brads! I've been fixated on water/beach cards all summer long, it seems, and these new brads couldn't have hit the store at a better time! I also used our Anchor Brads along with our Wide Sky Washi Tape and Water Washi Tape which made the base for a very cool little scene! I fashioned a cliff from kraft cardstock, stamped some birds and shoreline greenery, and then added a sentiment and the brads. Easy quick card!

 
I embellished the inside panel with a strip of Red Skinny Washi Tape and a strip of blue cardstock, stamped the sentiment in blue ink, and layered the panel on the blue cardstock.

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

Simple beach-themed card for that beach lover friend!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun beach-themed card featuring our new Flip Flop Brads that hit the store earlier this week! Of course, I had to pair them with a Sun Brad and a Seagull Brad along with Wide Sky Washi Tape and the Water Washi Tape to complete the beach scene! Beach scenes are so much fun to create with washi tape and brads, and of course torn kraft cardstock for the sand, and makes for a super simple no-fuss design. I added a stamped, heat embossed and die cut Adirondack chair and an awesome sentiment that really compliments the scene. 

 
I embellished the inside panel with strips of the cardstock used on the front, and stamped another cool sentiment that compliments the design beautifully. This card couldn't have been any easier! ;)

Greetings from the Herd tri-fold

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun tri-fold good luck/congratulations card featuring our Animal Stamp Set along with our Cow & Goat Brads, Pig & Sheep Brads, Horse/Pony Brads and Wide Sky Washi Tape! This was definitely a fun one!

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding card base from white cardstock along with a layering panel which I covered with Wide Sky Washi Tape and a green cardstock pasture. I added die cut grass and a hand-cut fence to keep the herd in, lol! ;) I added the Cow & Goat Brads, Pig & Sheep Brads, and Horse/Pony Brads to complete the front of the card. 

I cut the inside panel from white cardstock along with a layering panel from dark green cardstock, and embellished it with a section of die cut grass, a green cardstock pasture and a Cow Brad. I stamped the sentiment in dark green ink and layered the panel on the dark green cardstock.

I cut a second white cardstock panel along with a folded panel from the dark green cardstock (to fashion the third fold), stamped another sentiment in dark green ink and adhered the panel on the inside.

enjoy the little things

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun birthday card featuring our Gnome Brads along with Lawn Mushroom Brads, Sun/Cloud Brads and some of my favorite Grass Washi Tape and Wide Sky Washi Tape. Scenes are so fun to create, especially when you have the perfect brads and washi tape!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and a layering panel from white cardstock. I covered the layering panel with Grass Washi Tape and Wide Sky Washi Tape, and adhered a die cut gnome cottage and tree stump with lantern. I added Gnome Brads, Lawn Mushroom Brads and a Sun Brad, and the finishing touch was the addition of a sentiment which I flagged on one end with a square punch.

I stamped the birthday sentiment on the inside panel in black ink and layered it on green cardstock. 

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