Furry Yoga in the Park!!

Hello Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card using one of our new Spring Brads, the fabulous Yoga Cat Brads These are adorable!!

When I seen these I knew they needed an outdoors scene and you can't do yoga in the park without your mat ;O)

Once I had the card done I felt the sun was being downplayed a little too much (and who doesn't love a little bling?!?), so I pulled out my gorgeous Cream - Pearl Swirl Bling (one of my favs) and added the pearls here and there.

Be sure to join me next Thursday when I'll be showcasing several more items belonging to our new Spring Brad Collection on three separate style cards - "Clean and Simple", "Mixed Media" and "Watercoloring with ink".

Check out our Store for these and other great items:

Alien Brads: Out of This World!

Absolutely all of Eyelet Outlet's new Spring brads are awesome, in my opinion, but none are more fun than the Alien Brads, which are both adorable and otherworldly... so clearly I (Lauren) had to use them on a couple of different cards!

Scientists have recently confirmed that there *IS* life on Mars, but alas, there are no bakeries. So it turns out most of the UFO's sighted on this planet involve Little Green Men who have not enjoyed cake in far too long! 

I was happy to build these guys an appropriately-sized chocolate cupcake, then frost it with the help of two different sized cloud punches. I added a couple of Star Brads to make them feel at home. And obviously no cupcake is complete without a Cherry Brad on top!

One of my favorite ways to add a funky sentiment is with my trusty old-school label maker. In this case, I trimmed the labels down a bit, and affixed them kind of randomly, to fit the fun vibe of the card. I used another Alien Brad and the same set of supplies to create a sentiment inside, as well!

I often use funny quotes as inspiration for a card design, and I wish I could remember which comedian said, some years ago, that Area 51 didn't particularly worry him, but the thought of 50 OTHER such places made him a bit anxious! I typed the sentiment on clear labels which I affixed to a cloudy sky over a bit of patterned paper desert. Then I filled in the scene with another adorable Martian and a funky space ship made from paper, Glitter Silver Washi Tape and tiny 1/16" Mini Gold Brads.

Meanwhile, here in this galaxy, you'll have noticed that we now have even more fun for you here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog... some days there will be more than one post! That means lots of great ideas to make your cards and projects out of this world! Be sure to scroll down and see what awesomeness Designer Georgiana has thought up to inspire you! ♥

An Easter Basket with Some Easter Eggs

Hello Everyone! 

This is Georgiana from Carson's Creations and today is my day to post. Before I share my design team project,  I want to let you know that there is a Daily Deal where you can get a product each day at a discounted price. Be sure to check it out!

Here is my Design Team project...

I sure have been on a roll lately making treat bags, so when I saw this scalloped top tie bag by Lori Whitlock at the Silhouette On-line store I couldn't resist. I then found this Easter basket and adjusted the size to fit the front. 

 My goal was to add these Easter egg brads by Eyelet Outlet and Brads and it worked! They are perfect in pastel colors. A mini tag to let the recipient know "For You".

I used the following products from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

For a Wonderful Mother

Hi it's Barbara and it's my day to post on the Eyelet Outlet Blog and I have a Mother's Day card to show you. I took Stephanie's idea with washi tape and it worked beautifully.

I used the colouring book wide washi tape from the Eyelet Outlet and Brads store and covered a piece of rose cardstock, I layered it on another piece of rose and on a white base. 

Look at these gorgeous paper flowers and the pearl/silver brads I used for the centers, the flowers come in a package of 40, both flowers and centers can be found at the Eyelet Outlet & Brads.

Of course being a Mother's day card I had to use some of the Eyelet Outlet's swirly jewels which not only come in clear they also come in colours and pearls as well.

These are all the items from the Eyelet Outlet I have used 

Wide washi tape

narrow pink glitter tape

Swirly jewels

pearl / silver brads

and

Gorgeous pink paper flower 

P.S. they come in all colours too.

I couldn't believe how fast this card came together using these awesome supplies from the

 Eyelet Outlet

Thanks for stopping by today!

Knit Happens

I learned how to knit and crochet from my Grandma when I was young ... but mostly I've forgotten.  Thankfully I have friends who knit and crochet things for me, so that make me one lucky lady.

To thank those fabulous friends, I love having the new Knitting Brads, which include both lovely balls of yarn & knitting needles.

My sentiment is from Kaspareks who carry all sorts of fun knitting stamps.  I added a few #hashtags from Bossy Joscie's stamp set collaboration with Butterfly Reflections, Inc.

Look at the awesome texture in those balls of yarn.

This Tangled Fluffles from Stampendous looks more like me if I tried to knit ... yeah, there were always knots and tangles. I colored him with pencils and used different #hashtags.

Products used:

• Knitting Brads

Easter Egg Parade

For some reason I seldom make Easter Cards ... but when I found a sheet of 3-D bunny stickers in my stash (likely purchased on after-season clearance), I knew they would pair perfectly with Eyelet Outlet's Colored Egg Brads, so I decided it would be fun to make & mail a few.

The first one uses this week's Freshly Made Sketch and pairs my bucket bunny with the bright & fun Eyelet Outlet Easter Eggs.

I decided to keep creating and finish off the sticker sheet.  The second card uses this week's Mojo Monday Sketch and more of those bright Easter Egg Brads... I can't remember the time I used a ribbon bow on a card (which makes me question my seriously large stash of ribbon).

And for my third card, I used a sketch from Retro Rubber.

I would guess my Happy Easter Stamp is at least 10 years old ... it was one of the first when Michael's starting having bins of Hampton Arts Studio G $1 stamps by the checkout ... and it's still my only Happy Easter stamp.

I just love the pops of color from my Eyelet Outlet Colored Egg brads.

Random Acts of Kindness

Hi Everyone!

It's Nancy from kandykarazee and I have a couple

 of treat boxes  to share with you today.

I used corner brads to frame the mats on the front of the boxes.

Love how perfectly the brads finish them off.

Added some yellow swirl bling to the front of one of the boxes.

No Prob-Llama

Hi folks.  It's Kim from Katydid Cards sharing a card using one of the great new products for Spring, 2017, the adorable Llama.

I couldn't wait to use them and share my card with you; so without further ado, here it is.  It's a virtual fiesta!

Here's a closer look at the Llama.  That face!  Isn't he the cutest?

I used a card base purchased in the Silhouette store.  I wanted something to put the Llama front and center without him looking lost on the card.  I think this card was a good call...I also like that you get to see him even when you open the card.  But any sort of card where you can showcase him on a smaller mat would work well. 

I made some changes to it by adding a cut border and a mat, into which I imported digital paper from the Thanksgiving Turkeys Paper Pack by Erin Bradley.

I wanted to come up with a clever greeting to play off the Llama...thank you Google!  Inside, I took it a bit further.  It may be a little corny, but I think it's cute.

 That's it for today!  See you soon next Saturday with another project!
