Maybe you can't actually spend today at the beach, but... you can use Eyelet Outlet Shell Brads, Sea Shore Brads and Sea Gulls to make a beautifully beachy card, instead. Copper Glitter Tape makes perfectly sparkly mats and, in celebration of Earth Day, the background photo was saved from a catalog cover before recycling!
Here's a summery card idea that's SHORE to please: Diecut chunky letters from Eyelet Outlet Wide Water Washi adorned with a strip of torn Glitter Gold Tape to serve as sand. Scatter Shell Brads and Sea Shore Brads along the bottom, as if they've been washed up by the tide. Augment with Water Splats and a handsome Flamingo Brad. Place the stamped portion of the sentiment above, and surround it with a flying Seagull plus Sun and Cloud Brads.
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!
Father's Day is not too far away, and what better way to show Dad some love than with a handmade card? Today, I'm sharing a card inspired by the calming beauty of the coast, perfect for the father who enjoys the sea.
The focal point of this card is a serene lighthouse scene, beautifully framed with the dazzling Sparkle Blue Glitter Washi Tape. This tape adds just the right touch of shimmer and evokes the feeling of sunlight on the water.
To spell out how much he's appreciated, I also used the same Sparkle Blue Glitter Washi Tape to die-cut the letters "DAD." These stand out wonderfully against the background.
Adding dimensional details that Dad is sure to love are the charming Seagull and Seashore Brads. These little coastal elements bring the scene to life and add a tactile touch to the card.
This card is a simple yet heartfelt way to celebrate Dad and his special day. I hope it inspires you to get crafty and create something meaningful for the father figures in your life!
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.
Summer is on its way and even if you can't get to the beach, you can create a tiny sandscape of your own in card form! This one features Eyelet Outlet Shell Brads, Sea Shore Brads, Sun and Clouds, Sandcastles, Tall Palm Trees, Seagulls and Sunglass Brads. The postage trend is awesome for combining a bunch of related items and Shell Washi Tape makes the perfect backdrop.
Life IS better at the beach and summery cards ARE better with Eyelet Outlet Summer Vacation beachy brads! Both of these beachy keen cards feature our Shell Corner Brads and have twine accents strung through a trio of colorful old school 1/8" Round Eyelets; with mats of Shell Washi and extra wide Sky Tape.
The first card also features both shapes from our Seagull Brad Set as well as both Sun and Cloud from that set.
Life IS better at the beach, but the next best thing is a beautiful beachy card, bedecked with Eyelet Outlet Brads. Shell Brads, Shell Corners, Sea Shore, flying and standing Seagulls and Tall Palm Brads add coastal flavor to faux polaroids matted with Sparkle Gold Glitter Tape add glamor. A Wide Wood Washi background with a twine border is set off with colorful, old-school 1/8" Round Eyelets and a scattering of Multi-sized Pearls completes the design.
Eyelet Outlet's latest brad release includes a cruise ship/ring buoy set that's pretty cool! Today I've got a nautical themed thank you card for you using the ring buoy from the set.
It's officially summer, school is out, and thus my (Lauren's) thoughts have turned to all things beachy! Here's a card that features Eyelet Outlet Seagull Brads, Ocean Tape, Glitter Gold Tape, Sea Shore Brads, Pearl Bling and Glitter Enamel Dots:
Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here, sharing a fun beach-themed card featuring our new Flip Flop Brads that hit the store earlier this week! Of course, I had to pair them with a Sun Brad and a Seagull Brad along with Wide Sky Washi Tape and the Water Washi Tape to complete the beach scene! Beach scenes are so much fun to create with washi tape and brads, and of course torn kraft cardstock for the sand, and makes for a super simple no-fuss design. I added a stamped, heat embossed and die cut Adirondack chair and an awesome sentiment that really compliments the scene.
Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!
Eyelet Outlet Seagull Brads, that is. And in this case, they're having their fun on two three-inch-square Inkbox Cards I (Lauren) made especially to hold them. I love that the Seagull Brads have two poses, so I decided they should each be the star of one card. And since I was dying to use my new softly metallic Ocean Tape, I'd pair it with Script Washi and some Glitter Skinny Tape to make a foreground for both.
The first card features the distance flying seagull up in the "sky" of the card and down on the washi tape beach I've clustered a Shell Corner Brad, as well as both the starfish and sand dollar from the Sea Shore Brad set.
The standing up seagull is the star of the second card, and he's standing next to a cluster of all three Shell Brads. I felt like it needed one more thing for balance, and you'd be surprised how often our Sun and Cloud Brads fit the bill on that score; which is why they are consistently on my "most used brads" list; along with Hearts and Snowflakes!
I love this fun pirate washi tape too. It was perfectly fun with this scene. It's fairly transparent so I had the idea to put it on top of the Map Washi. It's very subtle but in person the map images show through just perfectly! I used our Gold Glitter Washi as a mat too.
So take a look at your paper collection and see what you can use to make your card making easy and quick!
Have you seen the new Crab & Lobster brad set? They are awesome and a lot of fun!
My little lobster and crab have found themselves in some hot water today. This is a very CAS (clean and simple) card. I found the pot image on Cricut Design Space. I cut it out of vinyl and applied it to my white card. I added some small lines around the fire and on the pot with a fine line pen. I made my sentiment from scratch on Design Space as well and put it in a speech bubble before printing and cutting it. The sky is three strips of the Sky Washi Tape. This tape is back ordered but I've linked another one that would work just as well. Finally, what's a beachy kind of card without a Seagull?
Thanks for stopping by and do check out the Eyelet Outlet site for all your embellishment needs. Remember! We have something for everyone!
Around here, August is beach month. One last time to dip your toes in the water and enjoy the sunshine and sand.
Today's card is a celebration of the last trip to the beach for the season. If you can't get to a beach or don't live near a beach, hopefully this will transport you there on a mini-mind vacation!
Have you seen the new Crab and Lobster Brad Set yet? I've used one of the lobsters on this card along with many other beachy brads including the sandcastle, umbrella, sunglasses, starfish, sand dollar and seagull. This is a scene printed from Cricut Design Space.
