Autumn is here and there are lots of fabulous Eyelet Outlet Brads to help us celebrate that fact. Here we have Leaf Brads, Acorn and Squirrel Brads, Sunflower Brads, and a Pumpkin Brad in a Pick-up Truck. The matted letter squares are mounted on a background of beautiful vertically-oriented Autumn Washi Tape.
Fall is so much fun to craft. I love using fall colors and textures and today's card was super fun to put together. This is a simple fancy fold which results in a pop-up middle portion. It folds flat for mailing and a panel can be added to the back for a sentiment and note.
I decorated this fall card with several EO brads and bling. I placed three Butterfly Brads, one on each panel. Two Pumpkin Brads and a Sunflower rest under the mushroom die cut. I added a lovely Acorn from the Acorn and Squirrel Brad set. Last I added Orange Cut Jewel Bling and yellow Glitter Enamels on the panels and as spots on the mushroom.

It's officially fall, y'all, and I'm so excited to share my very first autumn card of the season! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year, with its mild weather and all the cozy things that come with it. (Of course, that's until Christmas rolls around, then it's a whole new favorite!)
This card features two super fun washi tapes - Gnome Garden Washi Tape and Bee Washi Tape. I've sandwiched them between strips of embossed vellum, which adds a subtle texture. This card was even easier to create because I used a pre-printed card base—it's always great to find a good shortcut!
Decorating this card are a Gnome Brad 2, a Sunflower Brad, three Leaf Brads and three Glitter Enamels. Eyelet Outlet embellishments always take my cards from good to great with minimal effort. You have to love that!

Here in the Northeastern US, the week after Labor Day is the traditional time for kids (and grown-ups!) to go back to school. Here's a card featuring Eyelet Outlet School Bus Brads, Book Brads, Eye Glass Brads, Sun and Cloud Brads and even a Mini Ladybug.
Hey, EO fans! Last week I made a hot grilling card, but this week I'm cooling things off with a sweet ice cream card in yummy mint and strawberry colors. It says, "You're my favorite flavor." I bet you can guess what mine is... Yep! Mint chocolate chip is my ice cream of choice. Yum!
I made this card using a die set from my stash to form the mint chocolate chip ice cream bar. For the chocolate chips, I used a combination of small dark brown circles and the smallest Black Matte Enamel Dots. I topped the bar with an adorable Stitched Flower Brad. Next, I created the oval embellishment with a circle border stamp and a scallop die. It features two yummy Ice Cream Cone Brads in the center. I popped the ice cream embellishment up on foam tape and set it aside.
For a simple yet interesting background, I cut a piece of heavy ivory cardstock and ran it through a 3D embossing folder. I then dabbed some pink ink on the raised areas of the design and splattered some of the same pink ink on top to add a fun speckled look.
To put the card together, I first created an A2-sized card base out of cream cardstock and glued on the embossed mat. I then placed the sentiment strip and my other embellishments, finishing it off with a few more matte black enamel dots for a final touch.

Who else is feeling the heat this August? With the temperatures soaring, we've been leaning heavily on our grill to keep the kitchen cool. As my husband has been the grill master lately, I felt inspired to create a special card just for him. Turns out, inspiration can strike anywhere!
This 5x5-inch square card is packed with layers. I played with different textures and shapes, combining scallops, lace, and straight edges for plenty of visual interest. You might think lace is an odd choice for a masculine card, but I think it adds a subtle touch without being too frilly.
The centerpiece is a chipboard grill embellishment. For the grill's background, I used strips of Beer Washi Tape to give it a fun, beer-themed vibe - because what's grilling without a beer? I topped the grill with another chipboard piece that says, "Hot" and hand-wrote "You're" on the grill to complete the playful message.
To finish, I added some extra touches from Eyelet Outlet: Beer Brads and BBQ - Apron & Grill Brads. A few Red Pearl Hearts decorate the grill lid, and Heart Jewel Bling accent each corner, adding a final pop of "red hot" color.

It feels like we were just celebrating the 4th of July, and now, just as summer seems to be getting started, it's already time to welcome the kids back to school! Time truly does fly.
We took our son to his new college apartment this week, and it instantly made me nostalgic for the simpler days of grade school and middle school. In that spirit, I've crafted a school-themed card this week that's absolutely perfect for a new student to give their teacher as the academic year begins.
To make this card, I started with a pre-patterned card base. I used an apple die from my stash to cut out a stitched apple-shaped window. To fill this window, I placed strips of Tape Measure Washi Tape onto yellow cardstock. It was then very simple to glue the panel on the inside of the card, allowing the cheerful yellow washi tape to peek through the apple cutout.
I added a stem and leaves to the apple, and then stamped and cut out my sentiment strips. I applied a strip of Book Washi Tape as a themed border before adhering the sentiments. Then came all the fun brads! First, I placed a delightful Pastel Owl Brad above the "Thanks" sentiment. Next, I added Computer & Headphone Brads along the border, tying into the school theme. The final touch was a perfect stack of books in the form of a Book Brad, completing this school scene.
This card is a sweet and simple way to show appreciation as the school year kicks off!

I created this meme-inspired birthday card for my older brother and I think he's going to get a kick out of it! We've all heard the children's rhyme, "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes," and now we have the adult version of that rhyme: "Wallet, glasses, keys and phone!"
Just in case anyone needs a bit of advice for celebrating the happiest of birthdays, Eyelet Outlet has exactly the right brads and tapes for the job. A background of foiled Happy Birthday Washi sets the scene; while Cupcake Swirl, Computer & Headphone and Pinata Brads illustrate the important elements of treats, downtime and fun!
