Always Believe In Yourself

 We have a lot of cats in our animal collection at Eyelet Outlet, but this little orange cat is my absolute favorite because he looks exactly like my Sonny Boy! 

Memes are such an inspiration to me in my card making and when I saw this meme recently, I couldn't get to the craft room fast enough to put my spin on it with amazing Eyelet Outlet products! I started with a strip of our popular wood washi tape for my counter top, I used a few Cricut images in my scene and flanked them with our mixer brad, a wooden spoon brad, and measuring cup brad. I added a mini stitched flower to the pot plant and of course, center stage was the orange feline brad!

My cat, Sonny Boy is well trained and stays off the counter. 😉

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!

Wildlife Winterscapes

Maybe the most fun you can have with our Eyelet Outlet Wildlife Brads is to build little scenes for them to inhabit. This trio of A1 cards all have stamped trees and sponged skies, with Sun and Cloud Brads to light the way and a flurry of Snowflake Sequins to set the season. Pine Tree Brads and Snowy Pines add to the foliage, then the critters arrive: a Prancing Deer, a handsome Moose, plus mama and baby Bear Brads. Two washi tape mats, of Glitter Blue Tape and Wide Wood Washi frame the designs.

There are Eyelet Outlet Animals for every taste, including Dinosaurs, Farm Animals, Reptiles, Cats and Dogs, Fish and Crustaceans, Jungle Animals, Birds, Bugs and Critters of all kinds!

Give Thanks

On the day before the American Thanksgiving holiday, what could be more fitting than a simple card which sums up the day. The "THANKS" portion of the sentiment is diecut from beautiful extra-wide autumn Leaf Washi, studded with Leaf Brads, Mini Leaf Brads and the yellow flowers from our Colored Daisy set. The background is made of super-wide Wood Tape, framed with Brick Washi.

Wishing the happiest and healthiest of holidays to all who are celebrating!

Life is Better at the Beach

Life IS better at the beach, but the next best thing is a beautiful beachy card, bedecked with Eyelet Outlet Brads. Shell Brads, Shell Corners, Sea Shore, flying and standing Seagulls and Tall Palm Brads add coastal flavor to faux polaroids matted with Sparkle Gold Glitter Tape add glamor. A Wide Wood Washi background with a twine border is set off with colorful, old-school 1/8" Round Eyelets and a scattering of Multi-sized Pearls completes the design.

Righty-Tighty, Lefty Loosey

I learned so many life lessons from my dear dad and this is one of them! I started this card by putting down a few strips of Eyelet Outlet Wide Wood Washi Tape for the background.  

I added some screws and a bolt from the Cricut image library as well as the neat "Dad" image with the tools cut into it.  Next an Eyelet Outlet wrench, of course!  Then I added some Eyelet Outlet screw brads in the corners of the sentiment.

Come by the Eyelet Outlet store to see all the products we have to create some great Father's Day cards for your dad!

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.
