Fin-tastic Greetings
Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a fin-tastic card created with Eyelet Outlet brads and bling. Eyelet Outlet has so many products to create fun projects with all kinds of themes.
I used a fish tank stamp and die set to create the fish tank. I layered patterned cardstock behind the fish tank to resemble bubbles. Then I filled the fish tank with fun fish brads, shell brads, sea shore brads, and blue jewels (bubbles). I added blue enamel dots in the corners.
What a fun card! The possibilities are endless with Eyelet Outlet products. Thank you for visiting the blog today. I hope this inspires you to create a fun project. Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

Life is Better at the Beach
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!

Life is Better at the Beach
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.

At the Beach
The best place on a hot summer day is the beach. I composed
this beach scene with images from Peddlers Den and a
life guard station die cut. I colored the scene
with water colors.
Embellishments from Eyelet Outlet really
brough this scene to life. The brads include both the
flip flops and the sea shells. I topped off the life
guard station with the string pearls from Eyelet Outlet.
To finish up the card I used my favorite blue glitter
washi tape from Eyelet Outlet along with some
pretty jewel brads.

Life is Better at the Beach
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.

You're Palmtastic!
Happy Sunday! Today I am in a tropical kind of mood. In fact, I will be on the beach when this is published so I guess I'm manifesting my future in this card!
I recently got a tropical island die set so I created the card with it. Eyelet Outlet tropical brads takes the tropical them up a level. Here are the stops I took to make this card. I inked up a cloud background and two die cut clouds. I added Sun & Cloud Brads to add more color and dimension to the sky. Next, I made the palm tree and placed a Tropical Bird Brad on one of the branches. Then I got to work on the island. I added a Sand Castle Brad, two Shell Brads and a Lobster Brad. It's such a cute scene and easily made which is the best part!

I'm Here for you
Sometimes we need a card to remind someone that they matter and they care. That's what today's card is all about. I've used lots of Eyelet Outlet goodies on this one.
I've made a nautical scene featuring many of the sea and beach related brad sets carried by Eyelet Outlet. The focus of the card are the new Cruise Brads which will be available in the store soon. This set includes the red and white life rings and the cruise ships. They worked great on my nautical themed paper and portal. It was lots of fun to collage all the fun brads and a little bling together to create this scene.

Life Really is Better in Flip Flops
Amongst the new Eyelet Outlet Summer Brad release are Flip Flops, which come with three colors in each pack: brown, black and hot pink. Amazingly enough for me (Lauren) I didn't use the pink ones first??!

Smooth Sailing
The new Eyelet Outlet Boat and Lighthouse Brads could not be more appealing, and I (Lauren) can think of so many ways to use them! For example, how about a ship... or in this case a sailboat, lol... in a bottle?
I made a little background from paper scraps to represent sky, sea, sand and a bit of a cliff. Then I stamped my mason jar on top in Archival ink and cut it out. Inside the jar, I added a Boat and a Lighthouse Brad as well as the Sun from our Sun and Cloud set; to the foreground of the card I affixed one each of the three styles of Shell Brads. My sticker sentiment wishes the recipient, "Smooth Sailing Ahead"... and I think we could all use more of that, right?!

Gulls Just Wanna Have Fun
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!
