To Be Young Again

I celebrated my birthday last week with my family and a few days of keeping up with my 2 and 6 year old grandchildren had me thinking the "young" ship has definitely sailed and certainly inspired this project!


I loved this beach water color graphic from Cricut Design Space that I used for the back ground. I added a ship from Eyelet Outlet's cruise brad set, a palm tree on the shore and a sea shell corner brad. The sky was calling for one of our cloud brads, too. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Joy to the World!

I've long admired Joy cards I've seen on Pinterest where there is a scene of some sort inside the letter "O."


I finally decided to tackle one myself and I really love how it turned out. I used one of the Eyelet Outlet angel brads, a palm tree brad, and also a sheep brad to embellish the nativity scene in the center of the card. I used gold foil card stock as an offset to the black letters and I used gold glitter card stock on the star.

Thanks for stopping by today and hope having fun using Eyelet Outlet products on your holiday projects!

Home Is Where You Park It!


I've been absolutely loving the latest brad release, especially since I come from a big camping family! You can imagine my excitement when I saw the Camper Brads were included – they're just perfect!

These brads are incredibly easy to work with. For this card, I created a serene beach background using ink and cardstock. To set the scene, I started with a cozy bonfire, adding the "fire" element from the Camping Brads set (not to be confused with the Camper Brads!). I also included Palm Tree Brads, a Seagull Brad, and even a Birthday Bubble Brad to complete the look.

If you or someone special in your life enjoys the great outdoors, you'll have so much fun finding creative ways to incorporate these new Camper Brads into your crafting. They add such a charming touch to any project!


I'll see you next week but until then please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating!

Tropical Thanks!


 Escape to a tropical paradise with this thank you card bursting with flamingo, butterfly, flower, and palm tree brads – all waiting for you at the Eyelet Outlet store! 🌴🦋🌸The dimensional "THANKS" steals the show, made by applying Wide Wood Washi Tape to cardstock, cutting it out, and layering it over foam letters for a chunky effect. Cricut to the rescue for the perfect sentiments! And that dreamy background? Oxide inks blended and splashed for texture on a mini slimline card.

Thanks for joining me here today. Please stop by the EO store for all your brad, washi tape, bling, and paper flower card making supplies.

Just for Dad

 

My husband is an avid golfer so for fathers day this year I chose 
a golf scene. The image of the golf cart is surrounded by golf shoe brads and palm
tree brads available at Eyelet Outlet and perfect to use for this card. I also 
used some spring brads for the tire centers.

The botton of the card includes some chevon washi tape from Eyelet Outlet
as well as the golf bag to provide some added color.
I dabbed in the clouds with distress oxide
inks to help fill the sky and add to composition of the scene.

I hope you enjoy this father's day card and I will see you again next Monday
with a seashore scene.

Valentine Love Cards

Hi everyone! 2021 is soon one for the history books! I'm sure not going to miss much of it. Looking ahead, I'm excited to share my top three most favorite valentine and love cards. It's so much fun going back to look in my photo files to pull out these three for you today. It's also fun to see what the other designers have posted too. I hope you'll check them out!

Let's start with #3 and count up to #1. I'm a bee lover and I adore the Funky Bee Brads and Mini Bee Brads. I used both here along with Skinny Glitter Washi Tapes, Bee Washi Tape, Glitter Rainbow Washi Tape and Heart Shaped Enamels! So much fun color and shine!


Next up is a fun dinosaur inspired card. This one features the Tall Palm Tree Brads, Sun & Cloud Brads and of course the Dinosaur Brads! The Cloud Washi Tape is such a great background to the volcanos! Glitter Washi Tape - Green Pattern is also used as a wild green background to this one.

Drum roll please! My #1 card choice is this fun ice cream card. This one features our Ice Cream Brads and Heart Shaped Enamels. A few Pearls also accent this one. I cut the brown cardstock with the melty edge and used Glossy accents on the edge. The brown cardstock reflects through to make it look like it's melting. Simple but fun effect!


Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane and also got some inspiration for Valentine's Day. It'll be here before we know it!

Happy Creating Everyone!

Let Us Adore Him

It's time to get started on my Christmas cards and when I found these three kings in the Cricut image library, I decided that they needed some crowns from Eyelet Outlet.


I also added one of the palm tree brads near the stable and some of our clear swirl bling to the star.

If you've started your holiday cards using Eyelet Outlet products, we'd love for you to share your creation with us at the Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook group!  Don't be shy!

Happy Birdie(s)

Flamingos are not the only beautiful and vivid bird featured on Eyelet Outlet Funky Birds Washi, but they are my (Lauren's) favorite (who doesn't love a bright pink bird with really long legs?!) and since I also had a pack of Flamingo Brads, I decided to make them the stars of my cards.


I lined up a few strips of Funky Birds Tape on some plain white cardstock and used my Altenew Bold Alphabet Dies to cut out the keyword. I added the rest of my sentiment in stickers and then embellished with Flamingo Brads, Tall Palms and White Round Sequins.


For my second card I added the tape directly to my graph paper background, on top of some Pink and Green ZigZag Washi. Another sticker sentiment, Flamingo Brad and a few Sequins complete the design.


Prefer your flamingo tape a little less funky? We've got five other varieties, I'm pretty sure you'll find at least one to love!

styles of Flamingo Tape!

DINO-mite!

There are few things more fun for a cardmaker than "making a scene" (in card form, of course!) but it's even better if you get to make THREE tiny little scenes... each providing a home to an adorably ferocious Eyelet Outlet Dinosaur Brad!


My little squares are just about 1.25" each; which turns out to be the perfect size to hold a simple rendition of sky and ground, one Dino Brad and either a Tall Palm Tree and a Mini Butterfly or the Sun. By staggering the horizon line across my A6 card, the tiny scenes relate to each other, and hopefully add up to a larger landscape that is "DINO-mite"!

can literally NEVER
resist a diabolical pun!

Ahoy Matey! by Janet

 

Hello my fine feathered friends! Have you checked out the new brad sets in the store lately? I used the Tropical Bird set on this square card to embellish a 3D pirate sticker I picked up at the Dollar Tree. 

I combined other nautical themed brads to take this card to the next level. In addition to brads, I used the wide Sea Washi tape in the background and Copper washi tape as a border.

A TOUCAN of Thanks!

There's new brads in the Eyelet Outlet store!  Today I'm bringing you a card with the beautiful Toucan Brad from the Tropical Bird set.  I also used the Eyelet Outlet Palm Tree Brad and Stitched Flower Brad.


For the sky, I used strips of our Cloud patterned washi tape.  And I thought this particular flower washi looked so pretty and tropical that I added a strip of it as well.  The larger palm tree and the tropical leaf border are from the Cricut image library.

Stay tuned in coming days for more inspiration from the Eyelet Outlet Design Team and all the new brads!

Happy Sunday Eyelet Outlet Fans! I hope you've had a great weekend so far. For the US fans, you probably have given your stomach and your body a good workout over Thanksgiving and then decorating for Christmas and the holiday season. It was nice to take a break during all the hubub yesterday to reflect and make a card to remind me of the Reason For The Season.


The background of this card was created by placing Silver Glitter Washi Tape on the edges of an A2 card base. Then I placed the corrogated piece on top. Here's a upcycling tip I learned from Carol Duval when I was a wee one (LOL!). Use a liner from a light bulb box! Works perfectly and they tend to be either a nice white or natural color like this one. The city scene is made from two identical Heartfelt Creation die cuts that I cut and stacked to appear as if it were on a hill. I used a few pieces of foam tape for some of the cuts for added dimension as well. I nestled in two Palm Tree Brads and then started decorating the rest of the card.

Around the scroll (Heartfelt Creations), I placed the Snowflake Bling-1 1/2" Size and two of the Music Note Brads. To accent the scroll image, I cut single bling apart from Red Strip Jewel Bling. I'm always amazed at how a few Eyelet Outlet Products can take a card from good to great with just a little bit of effort! 


Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy you Sunday and I'll see you again next week!

Dinosaur Bookmark

Have you seen Eyelet Outlet's new dinosaur brads?  They're so fun!  There's three different ones in the set.  Last week I showed you the T-Rex and today I've got a bookmark for you featuring the brontosaurus and the triceratops from the set. 



I've also paired them with one of our palm tree brads.  At the bottom of the book mark I've used a strip of our popular book washi tape.  I'm sure this fun little bookmark will make your reader smile, so I hope you pick up some our new dinosaur brads and give this project a try.

I spy a fan!



We love seeing the creativity from our fans!
Here is one that popped up today...from Kelly, of Sandcastle Stamper Blog.


So many people from my state of MI are basking in the FL sun right now.
This card sure make me smile!  Love the flying SeaGull Brads above the Tall Palm Trees brads. 
Don't you love how the sea gull is nested in the paper waves so you don't see its feet! Also used: Sea Shore Brads.
Such a smart idea, Kelly. Thanks for being a fan!
