International Yoga Day

 In honor of International Yoga Day tomorrow, I thought I'd celebrate with a couple of Yoga cards. First up is a GOAT YOGA card.


For this card I used images from Cricut Design Space and added some goat brads from the Eyelet Outlet Cow & Goat brad set. 

And how can we remember International Yoga Day without bringing out our Yoga Cat Brads? These cuties are feeling very Zen today!  


Thanks for celebrating with me!


Full Disclosure: The closest I come to practicing Yoga is crafting in my Yoga pants,

I (Heart) Silly Cards!

I (Lauren) often see funny little sentiments on t-shirts, bumper stickers, or as memes on social media. Being a cardmaker, my first thought is often, "Hey! That would make a fun card!" Being an Eyelet Outlet design team member, my second thought is usually, "Hey! We have the perfect brad for that!"


In this case, the perfect brads are the super-fun Yoga Cats from a couple of years ago, which coincidentally happen to be on sale! I formatted the text in a free font called Ziggy Standard, printed it on a clear inkjet label, then added the cats, part of a Bling Strip and a bunch of mats. Et Voila! 


I will put a jpg of this sentiment on the Eyelet Outlet Freebies Page, just in case anybody else is feeling silly today too!

is silly pretty much
every single day!

Feline Good!

After a busy summer getting ready for Girls Camp and doing DIY projects with 110 girls,
then going to said camp...
I am feline good and ready to get back to my own craftiness!

Today, I am show casing Eyelet Outlet's Yoga Cat brads along with thin washi tape.



Doesn't that tape make a great background?

And can you believe it...
I used NO BLING? haha.

That is not something I usually do!

Turning off the devices for five days was so zen...
and I hope it kick starts my mojo at the art table!

Hey, if you want to see our wares in person,
come on over to the Somerset NJ show this weekend:


August 11-12th, 2017.

A couple of our designers live in the area and so you may bump into them!

Namaste!
From Dawn Mercedes, of Sunnyside Up!

Abstract Washi

Usually when I create with Washi Tape, I try to be very straight and precise, lining-up up each piece next to the other.  But Washi Tape is also perfect for more random, abstract designs.

For today's cards, I started with scraps of cardstock slightly larger than what I wanted for my finished card and just started randomly attaching pieces of washi tape until it felt right.



Next I trimmed the overlapping pieces of tape and added some Yoga Cat brads and a fun Charmed Cat 2 Sentiment from Paper Smooches.  A few more layers of cardstock, and this card was done.  If you're a cat lover, Eyelet Outlet has lots of cat-themed fun.


This technique works with wide washi tape too, although the card will need to be a bit larger to get the same effect.  As you can see, the color of cardstock you use also changes the look of the design.

For this one, I finished with a single Road Side Thank You Arrow Brad and just let the Bicycles be the focus o the design.


I hope I've encouraged you to have some abstract fun with your washi tapes ... enjoy.

Be the Birthday

Hello everyone!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards and for my project today I used the adorable Yoga Cats Brads, part of the Spring release.



I couldn't wait to work with them on a card.  And here it is:



I wanted to use several brads, so I thought this Three Circle Flip Card from the Silhouette store would be perfect.   Those circles are just the right size for the cats!

Not being a yoga enthusiast myself, I wasn't sure how these yoga poses should be situated, so I did some research and discovered the first pose is the Balancing Stick, the second is the Lotus and the third is the Half Moon.  Here's a closer look:




I wanted to find some Asian themed digital paper, and I opted for this pattern from Panda Zen by Lliella Designs and had a perfectly matched card stock.  Just like it was meant to be!

When I finished with the card front, I felt the colors were a bit too cool for the little lotus cat, so I took my Gold Wink of Stella and dotted the centers of the leaves.  Once I did that, all was harmonious. ;-)




For the inside flap, I wanted the sentiment relating to yoga, so this is what I finally decided upon.  I think it works...it might even hold up to someone who knows a thing or two about yoga.




I printed it on Smokey Slate card stock in dark gray using the Ancient Script font.

I guess that wraps it up except to say, "namaste"!




Who provided the inspiration for these cards?  Katy did!

Mom-to-be Card

Another week has flown by!! Barbara here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog with a new card for your viewing. Four weeks left to the appearance of baby boy Brydges our Great Grandson and I made a Mom-to-be card for Katie for Mother's day.



I really really wanted to play with the new Yoga cat brads from  Spring 2017 and this was an opportunity to put them on a card, they look so cute on each side of the Mom to be in a yoga pose. I chose the colour of this card to match the awesome gems from the Eyelet Outlet Store, they are just gorgeous and they also come in purple.





Close up of the Turquoise gems and that adorable yoga cat.

Looking for more inspiration? Have you checked out the Pinterest page? Here is the link, head on over and have a peek you won't be disappointed.

That's all for me today, I hope you checked out Stephanie's project on the EO Blog just below mine.

Did You Say, "Yoga Cats"?!

Yes. Yes, I (Lauren) did say, "Yoga Cats", they are one of my favorite new Eyelet Outlet brad designs! In fact they are so new they are not even in the store quite yet, but they'll be there any minute and you're going to want them because LOOK! HOW! CUTE!:


The cats come in two colors and three poses, and I wanted to show off as many as possible, so I made them into inchies to fit the front of my (horizontal) "tall" card.


I've mounted the inchies on a little bit of foam tape so they could float on top of my favorite new washi tape, which is extra-wide and has a design of whimsical vines and mandala-like flowers. I've used ancient alphabet stickers in a font I will never stop loving to fashion an appropriate sentiment.


There are lots of brand new Eyelet Outlet products getting ready to make their debut in the store. Be sure to keep checking back here to see the projects our amazing new design team members will come up with to show them off!
