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:

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!

Susan's Top 5 Favorites of 2025

2025 was a difficult year for me in many respects, but thanks to my faith, family, and friends, I got through it. This card rose to the top of my favorites list because it's been sort of my motto this year and because I've always loved our little pig brad! And here he is flying high in the clouds, against all odds!


I enjoyed making a number of hoosier cabinet cards last year and Eyelet Outlet products took all of them over the top! I especially loved this potting bench version featuring our daisy brads, cactus brad, and garden tool brads.


The popular Eyelet Outlet leaf brads have long been a favorite of mine and I loved using the regular size as well as the mini ones to embellish this darling water color image of children jumping into a pile of fall leaves. And the rake leaning against the tree is a real bonus!


We rolled out our  dancing hippos in 2025 and they were such fun! Pair them with a few balloon brads, and you've got a happy way to celebrate a special day!


This was a fun birthday card for my brother. The "little cooler" brads are so great! I used some of awesome wide grass washi tape and a sun and cloud brad, too.


Happy New Year, crafters! We're wishing you health, happiness and peace in 2026.

Autumn Blessings

 The popular Eyelet Outlet leaf brads are a must-have for your autumn projects! Today I started with a darling water color image from Nook Craft Art's Etsy shop. The children jumping in the leaves brought back vivid childhood memories!

I embellished the card with the mini version of the leaf brads as well as a few of the standard size ones. I also leaned a little rake brad up against the tree.  


Wishing all of you Autumn blessings and be sure to check add some leaf brads to your cart before you check out at Eyelet Outlet!

Happy Birthday Texas!

In honor of Texas Independence Day on March 2, I created a Texas themed banner featuring many Eyelet Outlet products. March 2nd is actually my birthday, too, but I'm not quite as old as Texas who will be celebrating 189 years!



I used a white star brad on the first pendant and our sunflower brads on the boots pendant. I was inspired to create this project by our soon-to-be-released yellow roses which I paired with a mini leaf brad, music note brad and yellow enamel heart.


I paired one of our cactus brads with a horse brad for the ranch pendant and added some heart brads for the next one. The great state of Texas is famous for our beautiful wild flowers. The flower washi tape I used on the background of the last pendant reminded me of our state flower, the bluebonnet.


Thanks for stopping by and helping me wish Texas a very happy birthday!

Autumn Wreath

I love a wreath card and Eyelet Outlet products make them super easy to create for all seasons. Today's make has a fall vibe with our amazing leaf brads. There's 4 different leaves in the set - a green one, as well as oak and maple leaves in fall colors. I also used a few from the mini leaf brad set near the sentiment. They're exactly like the larger ones I used on the wreath, but in an adorable mini size!


I also added an acorn brad and some sunflowers to the wreath, a couple of our very popular pumpkin brads as well as a squirrel brad.  

I hope you'll add some Eyelet Outlet products to your next wreath card and don't forget to tag us on social media when you do!

More Fun With Puns

When Eyelet Outlet says we have the widest variety of brads on the web, they mean it!  Where else are you going to find waffle brads?!  And we have toast, eggs, and bacon, too!  But today was about the waffle brads since I was making a cute little Valentine for someone I love a "waffle lot!" A large red enamel heart finished this card off perfectly.


Speaking of our amazing variety, sure, you might find apple brads, but you'll only find an apple core brad at Eyelet Outlet!  And how will you tell someone you love them to the core without it?!! Add a few of our mini leaf brads and some more enamel hearts and you're set to go with a unique and fun Valentine card.


We love seeing how you're using Eyelet Outlet products in your creations, so be sure to tag us on Instagram or stop in and share on our Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook Group.
