If You've Got It...

...HAUNT it! That's my (Lauren's) motto this Halloween season. Luckily I have Eyelet Outlet Ghost Brads and Bat Brads to turn the fun sentiment into a BOOOOO-tiful card like this:


I found this ancient bat patterned paper in my stash and the fun castle illustration in an old, falling apart childrens book I found at a garage sale. I added a sentiment made from alphabet stickers and my Dymo Labelmaker, a few skinny black mats and of course my Ghost and Bat Brads.


There are lots more awesome Eyelet Outlet Halloween Goodies in the online store, we promise it's all Treats and no Tricks! ♥

Happy Halloween!

I hope this last day of October finds you well and that it holds many more treats than tricks! I (Lauren) couldn't resist making just one more Halloween card featuring my favorite Eyelet Outlet Bat Brads:


I remember making this fun forest background as part of a make and take at the anniversary party of my favorite papercrafting store, Paper Anthology: proud stockist of Eyelet Outlet bling and brads... including bats! It was part of an amazingly lovely Christmas card design, but to me it also looked a bit haunted; so I asked if I could make a second one to save for Halloween. To finish it off in suitably spooky fashion, I added a super-shimmery moon made by combining Ken Oliver Crafts' Watercolor Pigment Powder (in Gamboge) with Pearl Liquid Sparkle. I attached the adorable Bat Brads and made them more mysterious by letting them peek out from behind some punched clouds. 


Happy Haunting to everyone celebrating Halloween! ♥♥♥

wishes it would become A Thing 
for grownups to dress up and go Trick-or-Treating!

A few more Halloween cards!


Spice up those bottles and potions with some of Eyelet Outlet's decorative Halloween Brads.
With spiders, bats, skulls, pumpkins...whew! 
Not to mention the witches legs (coming soon), witch hats, eyeballs, black cat brads...
the list just goes on and on!


Don't forget a bit of bling and glitter enamel dots...
all centered on glitter washi tape.
All that you need is a few die cut bottle shapes and a "Happy Fright Night" sentiment!



If washi tape is your love, check out this orange pumpkin!


Just a few sparkly bling and green leaves and a spider makes a cute card on the quick!
Then you have more time to gobble up that Halloween Candy!





Upcoming shows with Eyelet Outlet.
(A perfect time to stock up on your fall and winter holiday crafting embellishments!!)




Keep smiling!
Halloween is not that scary!!
