In honor of National Retro Day tomorrow, I thought I'd celebrate a couple of our awesome retro themed brads. First up, our old fashion telephone!
This week's card takes us back in time. It takes us to a time that was much simpler when there were no cell phones, no computers and if you wanted to get something done you needed to use good old fashioned elbow grease.
I created this card using multiple steampunk/old fashioned type washi tape cut in squares for the background. If you look closely, one of the squares is the pre embossed faux leather Eyelet Outlet offers at their shows.
Attached to the base are three tags, each bejeweled and embellished with multiple old fashioned type brads and bling. The card is finished off with multiple large, stippled jewels and several different chip board sentiments.
This is a fun card that will be sure to brighten anyone’s day and bring them back to a simpler time.
Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE-UP CRAFTY!

They matched the card so well it was like they were made to be put with this card.
That’s the thing with
EO. They have any and every type of brad you can think of to add to your card
so they can have the “Eva-tude”, the “Maddie-tude”, the “Mary-tude” …any tude
you want!
Add your personal "tude" to your
cards with EO!

Here is my (Lauren's) ideal day off scenario, in card form: I'm reading, surrounded by books, with a friend or two for company! In this case the books are Eyelet Outlet Book Brads and Book Tape, the friends are a Koala Brad and a Mini Ladybug, there's a Telephone Brad in case I feel like chatting, and some Rose Brads for extra color and inspiration. I've also used Wood Washi to construct the bookshelves and Text Tape as a background.
Hello Eyelet Outlet Fans! Ha, ha! Get it? Fans? Yep! Today I've made a card that could be either a Valentine's Day card or a thank you card. It features Fans from the Telephone and Fans Brad Set.
The border of this A2 card is made with strips of Sparkle Red Glitter Washi Tape. I also covered chipboard letters with Glitter Heart Washi Tape to spell "FAN." I used a Heart Shaped Enamel Dot and White and Pink Paper Flowers.
Thanks for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!
It's the second week of my (Lauren's) Eyelet Outlet Rainbow Brad project, and this time we're embracing all things Brown, Yellow, Purple and Black!
The brads for each color are as follows:

Two strips of Wood Washi and a Skinny Glitter Tape in dark copper.
YELLOW: A background strip of Tape Measure Washi and Chicken Tape holds Work Trucks, Tissues from the TP & Tissues set, a School Bus, the Sun from our Sun and Cloud Brads, a happy little Chick, a Birthday Candle, a Party Hat and finally a Sunflower.
PURPLE: Unicorns from the Unicorn and Rainbow set, some Butterflies and a Mini Butterfly, Grape Brads and a glass of Red from the Wine set, a Fairy Brad and some Water Lillies from the Frog set. The washi selection is Purple Check Tape, plus purple glitter from the Skinny Glitter Tape set and purple flowers from the Skinny Foil Tape set.

And here's a snap of how our extended rainbow is shaping up so far:
