You're my BFF

Today I have a fun fold card that features some totally cute but brads! When you hear cute you don't think of bugs you say? Well, then you haven't seen EO's brads!

Here I decorated a kind of ho-hum paper flower, bee, and ladybug with EO's Mini Bee Brads, Mini Ladybug Brads and a large 12MM Stippled Jewel Brad. I also used White Daisy Brads on the mechanism that holds the pop-out panel in place with the card is open. Most of these brads can be picked up for a really great price right now at the store. I hope you'll check out the many good deals there.

Bee Happy

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a bee themed gift tag created with Eyelet Outlet brads and bling.  Eyelet Outlet has so many products to create projects for many occasions.

I used a tag die to create the base of the tag and cut it out of bee cardstock.  I added bumble bee brads, mini bee brads, and jewel bling.  Then I reinforced the hole with a white eyelet.

A handmade gift tag is a wonderful way to personalize gift packaging.  The possibilities are endless with Eyelet Outlet products.  Thank you for visiting the blog today.  I hope this inspires you to create a fun project.  Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

Cheerful Spring Teacup

Some cards feel like little keepsakes the moment they come together, and this delicate square teacup card absolutely fits that description. It’s a charming blend of soft colors, layered textures, and—of course—plenty of Eyelet Outlet sparkle.

The foundation of the card is a rich dark purple square, which gives the entire design a sense of depth and elegance. On top of that sits a sunny yellow embossed mat. After embossing, the edges were inked and the raised areas brushed lightly to bring out the pattern. That subtle highlighting adds just the right amount of dimension without overwhelming the softer elements layered above it.

In the center of the card, a pink round doily creates a sweet, lacy backdrop. It softens the bold purple and yellow beneath it and sets the stage for the focal point: a lavender teacup. The teacup was stamped, colored, and fussy-cut before being placed on a small lace doily, giving it a delicate, almost porcelain-like presence.

This is where the magic happens. The teacup becomes a tiny garden thanks to a cluster of Eyelet Outlet embellishments:

Mini Bee Brads
Mini Leaf Brads

Yellow Rose Brads

Butterfly Brads

Jewel Bling - Multi

The charming Eyelet Outlet embellishments transform the teacup into a miniature spring vignette, full of life and charm.

To ground the circular focal point, a large white-and-gold plaid bow sits at the bottom of the doily. It adds a soft, elegant flourish and ties the entire palette together beautifully.

This handmade card is a lovely example of how Eyelet Outlet brads and bling can elevate a simple stamped image into something truly special. It’s delicate, cheerful, and full of personality—perfect for sending a warm hello or a thoughtful note to someone who appreciates handmade beauty.

Please stop by the Eyelet Outlet store to stock up on your brads, bling, washi tape, and paper flowers.

Happy Creating!

It's Garden Time Somewhere!

 It's definitely winter but as we start getting closer to Christmas, I can't help but start thinking ahead. This card will be given intentionally to a friend who has a January birthday. She told me once that she hated January as a birthday month because it was when all the holiday credit card payments were due and everything was gloomy and cold. Well, it's not going to be cold and gloomy on this card!

This is a mini-slimline card. It measures 3 1/2 x 6. It's one of my favorite card sizes. It's not too big and it's not too small but it's a unique size that you don't see sold in the mass market. I made this one by stamping some mini flower, butterfly, fence, and bee images on white cardstock. Then I colored them with Copic markers. I layered Gnome Washi Tape on white cardstock before cutting out the B.D.A.Y letters. I offset these adorable letters over offset black letters and put each on foam pads for really great dimension on the card.

To make this even more garden-like, I added several mini butterfly and mini bee brads. Finally, I added three gold glitter enamels to the top corner.

Mini Butterflies

Mini Bees

Gnome Washi Tape

Just a Note

Hello EO fans! I hope you've had a great week. I'm here today with a thinking of you card. I made it for a friend who is having a few health problems right now and I hope this gave his spirits a lift.

On the front, I created a background with patterned cardstock and then I stamped, colored, and cut out the envelope and bird image. I added it to the front and then embellished with EO flower brads, Music Note brads, and Mini Bee Brads. I used Corner Brads in the upper corners and I also added black enamel dots to the bottom corner.

Garden Trio

Spring has emphatically sprung in the Northeastern United States, so luckily there are Eyelet Outlet Brads (& Washi Tape!) to celebrate all of the best aspects of this bloomin' beautiful season!

To "BEE Happy" it helps to have Mini Bee Brads, Colored Daisies and a Heart Brad; with a background of diagonally arranged Flower Washi.

Life IS a Garden, and to DIG it, Garden Tool Brads come in especially handy. Here they're paired with green Leaf Brads and a Ladybug as well as a Mini Ladybug, set atop bold daisy Flower Washi Tape.

As a matter of fact. my favorite color is RAINBOW... but sunshine is also quite wonderful. Sun and Cloud Brads have teamed up with a rainbow from the Unicorn and Rainbow set; and a pair of stylish Sunglasses is perfect for checking out the fab Flamingo. Pink Checked Tape, arranged in an offset pattern, sets the scene.

Whatever YOUR favorite color, style or theme, Eyelet Outlet has the perfect embellishments to create a card that celebrates the season!

Bee My Valentine!

I love creating little Valentine gifts for friends and family! Here is a quick and fun way to show some love with a small gift!

I started with creating the largest tag on white cardstock and adding heart stamps, distress inks, "Happy Valentine's Day" glitter washi, and pink and red enamel hearts. I saved some room in the middle to write a little note. I then cut a smaller tag in red and added some pink hearts stamped, along with more "Happy Valentine's Day" glitter washi and enamel hearts. Next, I created my smallest tag, stamping the cute bee image, coloring in with markers, adding some prisma glitter, and embellishing with  my little bee brads. Lastly, I used a hole punch to connect all 3 tags and attached a tube of Chapstick with pink and red ribbons! 

 I hope this inspires you to shop all the adorable Valentine themed products at Eyelet Outlet and create some personal Valentine's for your friends and family!
