Getting Older Is No Prob-Llama!

You can never have enough birthday cards so I make them to be at the ready when they're needed. Today's card was fun to do in part because it's a lot different than all the holiday cards I've done lately. I'm loving the citrus colors of orange, green, and yellow!

The green panel is 4" x 5 1/4". I cut two orange strips of paper at 1 1/2" each and place a strip of Cactus Washi Tape in the middle of each. I glued them at an angle and trimmed off the excess orange paper on each side. Then I cut the blue starburst and the yellow circle. I glued my blue llama on the circle and then put a Cocktail Brad on his back and three green Pearl Bling. I adhered the llama piece on to the green panel and then inserted Piñata Brads and Cactus Brads in the corners. I mounted the green panel on a slightly larger orange panel and put both on a white A2 card base. I wrapped a white and orange baker's twine around the folded edge of the card and tied a bow. Last, I stamped and cut the birthday sentiment strip and glued it to the top orange and washi tape strip.

Shopping List:

Pearl Bling - Green

This is a bright and fun card I will put in my stash for someone that I knows likes a southwestern theme or enjoys tropical drinks. This would be a perfect card for a get together around the pool when it's hot and toasty outside!

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!

Enjoy Your Day!

 Hello everyone! I always enjoy decorating clothing items with Eyelet Outlet brads and bling. It often is just the right size for various clothing dies. Whether it's an apron, t-shirt, or sweatshirt, brads like the Piñata look great on them. 

I made this card by cutting out a stitched scalloped rectangle. Then I cut a window and cut a smaller navy rectangle from a nested set. The green polka dot frame is actually Green Dot Washi Tape. I placed the tape so that it would border the two rectangles. I then went about making the sweatshirt. I covered a piece of white cardstock with Pink Checked Washi Tape. I cut it out with the die and pieced it together. I added a Pinata Brad and two pieces of red sticky back Heart Pearls. I mounted the sweatshirt on the card with foam tape. I stamped ENJOY and heat embossed it. A Heart Brad was placed and then I mounted it with foam tape. I stamped the two other sentiments on white cardstock and placed them. Finally I used three pearls in the Pearl Strip Bling on the left corner. This made a super cute card with lots of movement and texture.

Recipe Scrapbooking

 Happy New Year, Eyelet Outlet fans!  Now that the holidays are behind us and the wrapping paper and Christmas crafting supplies are put away, I thought I'd spend a little time working on one of my favorite crafting passions - scrapbooking my recipes.  

I first discovered Eyelet Outlet back in 2009 when I was creating my first recipe scrapbook.  Their awesome cooking/food/drink brads have embellished many of my pages through the years, but today I've used some fun brads from the most recent release.  The new pinata brads, beautiful cactus brads, lime wedges from the Lemonade and Fruit brad set and a few cocktail brads to add some fun interest to my Mexican Lasagna recipe pages.

If any of you enjoy scrapbooking recipes and have used Eyelet Outlet products on your pages, we love for you to share your project with us on our Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook Group!  

Lauren's 2023 Favorites

 It's that time again, the Eyelet Outlet Design Team is picking our favorite projects of 2023; and at the same time, we're getting ready to make brand new inspiring creations for 2024! Here are five of my (Lauren's) personal picks... in more or less chronological order. Click the bolded text to visit the original posts for additional description and direct product links.

It's impossible (imo) to Flamin-Go wrong with EO Flamingo and Beachy Brads. When a friend sent me this hilarious pun, I literally couldn't get to my supplies fast enough!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and this vertical Girls Tape not only captures that vibe perfectly, it pairs seamlessly with pretty much any combination of Brads and Tapes that appeal to your favorite gal.

The new Sugar Skull Brads arrived at the end of the summer, and were instant faves. This Viva la Vida card, posted on Dia de los Muertos, turned out exactly like the picture that was in my head.

Eyelet Outlet Pinata Brads were also brand new this year and my first thought was to make a Smashing Shaker Card with EO Sequins inside. I stand by that decision.

The new Driving Brads pair brilliantly with Classic Car Brads, Compass Brads, and loads of tape styles; for instant Masculine Card perfection.

Lauren Bergold

is looking forward to another year of brads, tapes and diabolical puns!

Llama Birthday Wishes!

 I thought this Llama was so adorable and would pair perfectly with the NEW Pinata Brad set!

I added my diecut Llama to colorful, striped patterned paper then stamped my curly hangers to add the pinatas! I did add foam tape behind 2 pinatas for extra pop! I embellished with colorful enamel dots, bling, and pearls, along with the new pinata brads!

To create a fun and colorful inside of my birthday card, I added more hanging pinatas, light purple washi tape, and the pink pearl strip! I think this would be a delightful birthday greeting card!

Pinata Party

For this week’s project, I choose to feature Eyelet Outlet’s brand new Pinata Brads. I created a super cute pinata themed shaker card that is actually a pinata! Pull on the fringe and out comes some fun glittery confetti.

I created the border using the Groovy Washi Tape and added clear Jewel Bling for sparkle. In the corners, I used blue and orange Cut Jewels.

Hope you enjoyed the Pinata Party!  See you next week.

Hope Your Birthday...

...is A SMASH! The brand new Eyelet Outlet Pinata Brads are as cute as can be AND extremely pun-friendly, what could be better? This shaker card, filled with coordinating EO Round Sequins and surrounded by a mat of green, orange and blue Zig Zag Washi, captures the color and movement of an actual pinata, with no mess to clean up afterwards!

The other new Fall 2023 Eyelet Outlet Brads include the adorable fall-friendly Acorn and Squirrel set as well as beautiful Sugar Skull Brads, just in time for Dia de los Muertos!

Pinata Party

 These are our new pinata brads from Eyelet Outlet and I fell

 in love with them immediately. I also had a pinata stamp

 set from Pretty Pink Posh so I colored the pinata stamps to match the brads,

 cut each one out, and added foam for some elevation.

I also used one of my favorite washi tapes from Eyelet Outlet. It always
seems to go perfectly with just about anything. For a bit
of sparkle I added a small strip of glitter washi and embellished
it with orange enamel brads.

Looks like it is time to get this party rolling and find what is in the pinata.

Birthday Fiesta!

 It's fiesta time today and it's easy to celebrate with the new Piñata Brads. They combine perfectly with Cocktail Brads, Fresh Flowers Bright Brads, Lemonade and Fruit Brads, and Music Note Brads. Although I didn't use them, the Cactus Brads would work nicely with this grouping as well.

I made this by first stamping the sentiment and mouse. I also stamped the colorful banner. Then I used the brads to decorate and enhance the panel. It's a very colorful and happy way to celebrate someone's birthday.
