Happy Birthday Wishes!

Birthdays are a great time to share good wishes and show appreciate for those you love! And making handmade birthday cards is extra fun with Eyelet Outlet washi tapes!

For my card base, I cut white cardstock to 5.5 x 5.5 and used a grid mat to create a diagonal pattern using various glittery washi tapes and the Happy Birthday washi tape! Next, I stamped and fussy cut my cupcake base and icing. I added pink pearls for sprinkles and a birthday candle brad and adhered with foam tape. I layered on a piece of white doily and embellished with swirl purple jewel bling. I added a banner greeting and a few more sparkles!  I think it is a fun, festive, and colorful greeting that anyone would enjoy receiving on their special day!

Make an Easter egg with washi tape. It is so easy.
 I loved sorting through all the
wonderful washi tape that I have from Eyelet Outlet.
There are all kinds ranging from glitter to cute prints.

I die cut an egg and starting taping different rows.
Then I added some small cut flowers I had and 
added the Spring pastel brads to them. 

I added a center piece of purple paper also adorned with more
washi tape. Finally I added two pastel bunny brads.

Best of the Bunch

 

Today I colored a floral card from All and Create. It has different inserts that you can add for the different seasons and makes it very versatile to use with a variety of Eyelet Outlet embellishments.

For this card I decided to use fall colored flowers and I added some additional reed stems that I drew in myself. I included screw brads for the wheels of the cart. The fall flower brads come in a variety of colors so I selected one of each color.

To finish the card I used the thin strips of glitter washi with black matte enamel dots on top.

You're No Kid

 Had a bit of fun with this birthday card and these goat brads
 from Eyelet Outlet.  The best part they have a stamp set
 that goes with this -- so all the stamping was also from Eyelet Outlet.

The center was popped up with a little foam to help add
 dimension to the card. The die cuts were perfect for this card as were the

 spring pastel brads I used in the corners.

I also added some thin silver glitter washi tape to break up a
 little bit of the plaid paper. 
Finally I added a bow and includes a green enamel dot in the center.

Christmas Gift Box

One of my favorite things about the holidays is using my craft supplies to create beautiful gift boxes for my family and friends.  I used my Cricut to create this particular box.  The bottom is  made with white cardstock and I used a digital snowflake paper to create the lid.

I added some gorgeous Eyelet Outlet snowflake bling in both the 1.5" inch size and also the larger 2" size.. I created this slider for the top also and added some skinner silver washi tape, a holly brad, the new Santa brad, and a heart brad.  I applied silver glitter washi tape to a strip of card stock to create the band that the slider fits on to.

At the Creech Household, the prettier the package, the more likely the gift is underwear!

 

We're The Perfect Blend - Iced Coffee Brads

Hello EO fans! It's Janet and today I'm here showing off the new Iced Coffee Brads. When I saw that there are strawberry and chocolate coffees in this set, I thought of the sentiment I used on this card. It's sweet but not too sappy and could be given to a best friend or a significant other. 

Around the edges of this A2 card base, I applied Skinny Brown Glitter tape. It's one of the rolls in the 3145A set. On top of that I placed a striped paper panel with flags, a square and a scalloped circle. I used tea stained paper for the circle and stamped the sentiment at the top and added the Iced Coffee Brads below. 

The finishing touches included a bean from the Coffee Brad Set and two Heart Shaped Enamels. This is so sweet, I can just about taste those drinks!

Halloween Fun!

Hi everyone! If you celebrate Halloween, now is the time to start planning for the cards you want to give. Today's card shows how quick and easy it is to put together a Halloween card that mixes a little scary with a little whimsical. I personally love using a Small Eye brad on the paper bow on this card. It makes it perfectly clear that the design doesn't take itself very seriously. 

I used two skinny glitter washi tapes on either side of the Halloween Washi Tape. I embossed a piece of gold cardstock with a web embossing folder and used a little gilding wax to add some shine. The Mini Spider brads go perfectly on the embossed webs and they blend in nicely with the web and spider sticker. A Ghost Brad and Green Pearl Bling are the finishing touches.

SHOPPING LIST:

Mini Spider Brads

Small Eye Brads

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I invite you to visit the store and stock up on your own Halloween stash. Don't forget that all these embellishments work fantastic on treat bags, tags and other Halloween crafts.

Gulls Just Wanna Have Fun

Eyelet Outlet Seagull Brads, that is. And in this case, they're having their fun on two three-inch-square Inkbox Cards I (Lauren) made especially to hold them. I love that the Seagull Brads have two poses, so I decided they should each be the star of one card. And since I was dying to use my new softly metallic Ocean Tape, I'd pair it with Script Washi and some Glitter Skinny Tape to make a foreground for both.

The first card features the distance flying seagull up in the "sky" of the card and down on the washi tape beach I've clustered a Shell Corner Brad, as well as both the starfish and sand dollar from the Sea Shore Brad set.

The standing up seagull is the star of the second card, and he's standing next to a cluster of all three Shell Brads. I felt like it needed one more thing for balance, and you'd be surprised how often our Sun and Cloud Brads fit the bill on that score; which is why they are consistently on my "most used brads" list; along with Hearts and Snowflakes!

The Dog Did It! by Janet

 Hello EO fans! Today I have a fun card that features some of the store's most recent cat and dog products. When you have pets in the house and something goes wrong, you know how there's always one that let's it be known whose fault it is. In this case, the cat is definitely turning in the dog - or possibly acting innocent. I always get the idea that cats consider themselves superior to everyone, especially the "other" pet of the home, the family dog. 

I loved using the new Kennel Mix brad set and the Cat Washi. The cats are wonderful in this washi tape.

I Miss You PIG Time!

Hello friends. On today's card, I am featuring the ever-so-cute pigs from the Pig and Sheep brad set. These little pigs are so detailed. I'm always amazed how much detail can be packed into a brad like this and both the pigs and the sheep don't disappoint.

I kept this simple and used a purchased patterned A2 card base. I layered a piece of paper lace with a strip of Skinny Glitter Washi Tape. On top of that I placed a lacy die cut glitter heart. I heat embossed the sentiment in black and cut it using a lacy circle die. I glued the heart and circle in place on the top of the lace border and then added my pigs, heart enamel brad and pearl bling. Uber adorable!

Thanks for joining me today. I'll see you next week!

Lets pay tribute to our frontline healthcare workers!

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a super clean and simple card to pay tribute to our frontline healthcare workers. All of the Eyelet Outlet designers are creating with the new quarantine brads in the store and are coming up with some great designs so be sure to check them out! I created several CAS designs that would be easy to reproduce that I'll be sharing over the next several weeks, so let me tell you about this first one!

I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from black cardstock. The front sentiment is computer-generated so I printed it on white cardstock and trimmed the panel so that the sentiment was in the bottom right-hand corner. I embellished the panel with two strips of silver Glitter Skinny Washi Tape set a tad bit apart and a narrow strip of black cardstock adhered between them slightly offset to the right. Using a Hero Arts stamp set, I stamped the face (which kind of reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in her younger days) just above the sentiment and added a Mask Brad. I randomly placed three Black Enamel Dots on the background and adhered the panel to the front of the card base. I stamped 'You are fabulous' from the same stamp set on the inside. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time with another quarantine-inspired card!

Melting For You!

Hello everyone! I love little puns and our new ice cream brads make that so fun and easy to do. Here's one that uses a sweet treat to tell someone how much they are loved. 

To make this card, I first penciled in a drippy shape on dark brown cardstock and fussy cut it to fit at the top of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat set it with white embossing powder. Then I cut a panel of cardstock in a tan color and stamped it with a lattice background to give the illusion of a cone. I applied glitter skinny washi tape on the edges of my card front.

Next I placed the ice cream brads, enamel hearts and pink bling on the brown cardstock around the sentiment and glued both the brown and tan pieces on to the front of the card. Before I did that, I rounded two of the corners. To make the drips look a wet, I applied glossy accents to the edges of the shaped brown cardstock. 

Thanks for stopping in today and I hope this gave you some card making ideas of your own. Have a great Sunday!

Just Be-Claws...

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun clean and simple note card with a beachy feel! I absolutely love note cards because they can be used for a variety of occasions and there's plenty of room on the blank inside panel to write a custom message.

This 'just because' design is super simple and can easily be mass-produced to create a set to give as a gift. I cut a landscape top-folding A-2 card base from kraft cardstock and splattered some white ink with a fan brush over the front. I created the sentiment on the computer and cut it in a strip, then layered it on orange cardstock embellished with brown Glitter Skinny Washi Tape. I added several Crab & Lobster Brads to the left of the sentiment and affixed the strip to the card base. Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut(cracker)

Especially when it's a week before Christmas and you suddenly discover you're a few cards short of what you need to cover the ENTIRE list; which seems, mysteriously, to have somehow grown since last year?! At least, that's what happened to me (Lauren) recently. And you know that I love to make every card unique and special, but in crisis mode, what I need are a few flat, mail-able cards... FAST! Luckily I have a good supply of Eyelet Outlet Nutcracker Brads and Washi Tape, so I'm already half way there.

Of course the other half is a background and a sentiment, so some seriously "cheating" is in order. Rather than stamp or paint I'm going to jumpstart with patterned papers from a collection that coordinates with the brads I've chosen, in this case those handsome Nutcrackers. My LSS, Paper Anthology, has the entire gorgeous line of Authentique's "Rejoice" which features traditional xmas colors and a few absolutely stunning plaids, as you can see. For my first card, I started with a plaid panel and added an inset just tall enough to accommodate the height of the Nutcrackers and two strips of XO Gold Foil Tape to really set them off. I'm excited that sets of "wordfetti" sticker sentiments are making a comeback because they are the ultimate in quick customization!

For my second card I decided to get a little fancier with my background, so I chose another plaid, and added tape accents as if they were part of the design. Since the patterned paper has such nice strong horizontal and vertical lines it was easy to incorporate Checked Tape plus two coordinating shades of Glitter Skinny Tape which even add a bit of texture, with no fear of extraneous glitter shedding everywhere! This time my two Nutcracker Brads are standing right on top of their sticker sentiment and framed up in a couple of nesting label-shape diecuts. 

Since the possibilities of Brads + Tape + patterned paper are nearly endless, I think I might make a few more "extra" cards... just in case!

Hippy Birthday!

My best girl friend is having a birthday today and since I think she's a pretty groovy chick, here is the card I made for her!

I have to say, I really had fun with this one!  It was a trip down memory lane to a time I remember well!  In fact, I may have had a dress just like this one!

The images for this card came from Cricut's Groovy Times set.  I used print then cut to apply a tie dyed digital paper to the dress and I hung it on an Eyelet Outlet Hanger Brad.  The peace sign is also from Groovy Times and I used Eyelet Outlet Pearl Bling Strips for beads.  Eyelet Outlet Enamel Dots were just the ticket for my mod flowers, too! I found the font on DaFont and it's called "Bell Bottom Laser."  I cut them out in Cricut adhesive foil and I used a couple of strips of Eyelet Outlet Skinny Glitter Washi Tape that matched the foil at the top and bottom of the card.  

Until next time, keep crafting friends!

Fleece Navidad!

I've been hustling and bustling with Christmas preparations and I forgot to post last Thursday, so today I'll try to make up for it by sharing two of my Christmas cards with you.

First up is a super quick and easy card I created with the sheep from the Cricut Winter Frolic cartridge.  I added eyes to my sheep with a pair of silly ones from Cricut's Funny Faces cartridge.  They were totally ready for the holidays once they donned their Eyelet Outlet Santa Hat Brads!  A touch of holly with an Eyelet Outlet Holly Brad and done! 

Next up is one of my favorites for this holiday season!  I used various greenery elements and a poinsettia from the Cricut image library for this card and arranged them together along with Eyelet Outlet Bling and our new Pinecone Brads. I added a strip I of Eyelet Outlet Skinny Glitter Washi Tape for a little extra shine. 

 Here's a close up.  Aren't those Pinecone Brads just great?!

 

I'm glad you stopped by today!

New Dress Brads!

Gals, who doesn't love getting a new dress in your wardrobe?!  Wait until you see the cute new dresses Eyelet Outlet has!

This little dress comes in a package of several colors.  Today I'm paring the purple dress with an Eyelet Outlet Purple Paper Flower with Pearl Brad, some Purple Swirl Bling and a touch of Purple Skinny Washi Tape.  The dress form I used comes from Cricut's Formal Occassion Cartridge and rather than cut it out, I used my Cricut Explore to draw the dress form onto the card stock.  The patterned frame is from Cricut's Frame of Mind cartridge and it's particularly fun because it gives the illusion that the Purple Skinny Washi Tape is woven into the frame.  

Eyelet Outlet's brand new Dress Brads are available at the vendor booth this weekend, May 19-20, in Syracuse, New York at the "Too Much Fun Rubber Stamp Show" and very soon will be available at Eyelet Outlet.com  

Thanks for stopping by today and come back soon for more of Eyelet Outlet's brand new brad line!
