Take Me To Your Cake
Recently I was going through some older stamp sets I have and I came across the Beam Me Up set from Lawn Fawn. I thought it would be good fun to have the aliens try to beam up farm animals. Looking around, I came across the farm background stamp so decided to combine the two sets together with several EO brads to make this humorous take on an alien abduction.
After stamping the farming scene, I colored it with markers. Then I colored and cut out the UFO and beam. I also stamped and used white embossing powder for the sentiment strips. Next I cut the background with a stitched slimline die and cut a slightly larger mat in silver. I placed the UFO pieces in the scene and then added all the monster and farm animal brads. I also added a cupcake swirl brad. Then I glued the two slimline pieces together and glued it on to the front of a slimline card base.

Trick or Treat!
Do you create goodies for trick-or-treaters?
Here is a fun card idea to try! I started with a standard size card, then created a diagonal pocket using the glitter washi tapes and the fun monster washi! I stamped the plain triangular part with candies and colored in with colored pencils.

Pandemic
Today's card is a continuation of the covid card series started several months ago. Cards 1-3 included "Social Distancing", "Zoom" and "Heros". Card 4 of this series is entitled "Pandemic". If you haven't heard the word 'pandemic' prior to 2020, then it is a near certainty you are now familiar with it.
This slimline card has a lot going on! The card is 4x9 and fits into a #10 business envelop. Other than the brads, the card is lacking in color and pattern---that was intentional.
First, the title in white letters is constructed by using four copies of the letter glued together to provide a thick, solid title.
Next, the Pandemic definition: "Prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole world; epidemic over a large area".
Moving over to the the right side of the card are three mini-scenes summarizing the emotional toll this disease has on people.
- The Eyelet Outlet Monster Brads represent that this is a scary disease and the unknown can be quite challenging.
- The Eyelet Outlet Heart Brad shedding tears represent the heartbreak that family and friends experience as they are dealing with the sickness and loss of life.
- The Eyelet Outlet Deer Brad represents the loneliness and isolation that many feel as their 'normal' activities and visits with others are restricted.
The card sentiment at the bottom is something we now hear in everyday life: Stay Safe, Be Well.
If any piece or part of this card provides inspiration to you, then please create a card and send it to someone who may be need a few words coming their way. It can be reassuring, healing, or an acknowledgement they are not alone in this world.
Take a moment to go over to the Eyelet Outlet site and explore the vast array of brads.
Stay Safe. Be Well.

Boo to You
In this Interesting Year of 2020, Halloween is bound to be a bit different, so it seems like an especially great time to send cards and other greetings, doesn't it? Luckily Eyelet Outlet has plenty of brads to suit the season! I (Lauren) have made a trio of ATCs that can stand alone OR become the centerpieces of some fun cards.
I hope you'll be inspired to make some fun Halloween cards or ATCs to share with your friends and family. Check out all of the awesome Holiday Brads in the EO store!

Monsters on Parade...and using Cricut Design Space to Plan a Card
Hello EO fans! I often use Cricut Design Space and my Cricut to make cards. It's easy to plan it this way and know before it's cut what it will look like when it's done.
I've posted a new video today on this process. It applies to all Cricut machines that use Cricut Design Space (Air and newer).
Click on the link for the video: https://youtu.be/hSAQ0-lHsVc
It features our Monster Brads and Skinny Glitter Washi tape. Go on over to the channel for all the details. While you're there, please subscribe. The team is planning more video content for you.

Scaring Up Some More Halloween Inspiration
I used the Monster, Small Eye, and Spider brads as well as Medium Jewel Bling Strips and Jewel Bling Strips and Glitter Black Washi.
To make the card, I used a cut file purchased in the Silhouette store. I used card stock from Stampin' Up and a digital patterned paper was used to fill that panel behind the potions. Speaking of the background, I placed the Jewel Bling randomly on the stars. The Glitter Washi was used on the bottle corks and as the shelf on which the potions sit.
And here's the sentiment I created for inside the card:
Next up, we have a nighttime walk; which can be pretty scary, especially around Halloween. This card was simple to put together; so if you like Halloween cards, but don't feel like you have the time to make them, this would be a good option.
I used the Spooky Eye brads for this card as well as the Small Eye brads...'cause you just have to have a cyclops or two on Halloween. You'd need two packs to duplicate this look. In fact, I want to go back and add another set of eyes in that open spot I didn't notice until I looked at the picture. If you'd like the template for this nighttime walking pair, you'll find it on the Freebies page or just link from the toolbar above.
Here's what I did inside the card; another set of eyes and a little poem.
