Retro Polaroid Camera Birthday Card


 Remember the good old 70's when the instant Polaroid Camera was all the rage? I was a child but child or not, everyone found it magical and fun. The pictures weren't that great but hey, it was the joy in watching the photo develop in front of your eyes that never grew old!

My card is an homage to the polaroid camera. It's a birthday card for people of a certain age. That would be me and others older than me I suppose. This was super fun to design. I used Star Brads and the cameras from the Travel Brads. I also used a single clear stippled jewel brad for the camera button. The polka dot border is Green Dot Washi Tape. It turned out so cute! 

Shopping List:

Thanks for joining me here today at the EO blog. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Birthday Bookshelves


 Hello Ai fans! I'm here today with a fun indoor scene featuring the new Book Washi Tape now at the store. For a long time, EO has carried a popular and loved Book Washi Tape. Recently a second design was added and I've used it here on these die cut shelves. This is also called Book Washi Tape but it is a bit more whimsical. It has little paper airplanes floating along the top of the books. You can see the two washi tape patterns below in greater detail.

Original Book Washi Tape
Newest Book Washi Tape

 The shelves and plants were made with dies in my stash. I decorated them with several brads. On the top shelf I added a Feline Brad and Book Brad. On the second shelf I included a Book Brad and Fan Brad. On the floor I included a cute Resin Mouse with a Happy Birthday Bubble Brad. Next to the mouse is a Puppy Brad. The floor and ceiling were made with Wood Washi Tape.
 
Here's a complete shopping list for this card:
Book Washi Tape (original design not used on card)

This was a fun card to make and very easy to create a bookshelf theme. What you put on your shelves is only limited by your imagination!

I hope you enjoyed my card and I thank you for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating Everyone!

You're No Kid


 Had a bit of fun with this birthday card and these goat brads
 from Eyelet Outlet.  The best part they have a stamp set
 that goes with this -- 
so all the stamping was also from Eyelet Outlet.

The center was popped up with a little foam to help add
 dimension to the card. 
The die cuts were perfect for this card as were the
 spring pastel brads I used in the corners.

I also added some thin silver glitter washi tape to break up a
 little bit of the plaid paper. 
Finally I added a bow and includes a green enamel dot in the center.

Your Shopping List from Eyelet Outlet:
Stamp Set Animals
Cow and Goat Brads 
Pastel Spring Brads
Flat Top Enamel dots 12mm (Green)
Glitter Skinny Washi Tape (6 pak)

Have fun and be sure to check out the new brads in the store!

Happy Birthday to Moo!

Hi crafty friends!  I hope that you have recovered from the holidays and life is settling down for you.  

I had the best time creating this barnyard birthday card!   I started by creating the adorable barn using dies from my stash.  I added a chicken to the window, and a goat and cow to either side of the doors.  

I wanted to add a little bit of sparkle, so I used the Glitter Black Washi tape to add a border to my sentiment strips.  Lastly, I added a bow from baker's twine.
Shopping List: 

Thank you so much for hanging out with me! 

Xoxo, Kim

Birds of a Feather

I (Lauren) think it's possible that whoever said, "Good things come in small packages" may very well have been thinking about Eyelet Outlet Tropical Bird Brads! These colorful feathered friends are exactly the right size for Penny Black's Vintage Birdcage Dies, which I diecut from our Pink Foil Tape backed with a scrap of plain white cardstock. A punny diecut sentiment, a few fronds of foliage with Colored Daisy and Green Leaf Brad accents, as well as a Flower Washi mat complete the design.


There are other "Birds of a Feather" in the EO Store, including Bluebird and Robin Brads, three kinds of CardinalsFlamingos and several styles of Owls, some of which are on sale!

can never resist a punny sentiment!

HB2U

Is there anything more festive than Birthday Sock Monkeys? I (Lauren) kind of doubt it, especially when they're Eyelet Outlet Birthday Sock Monkey Brads AND they're on sale! I've paired mine with some colorful Happy Birthday Washi TapePastel Balloon Brads (also on sale!) and Heart Enamels.

If Sock Monkeys are not your idea of birthday joy, there are plenty of other styles of brads, tape, flowers, bling and enamels at Eyelet Outlet!

loooooves making birthday cards!

Happy Washi Tape Birthday Treat

 

Hi friends! It's Janet here with a happy card you can make in a jiffy! You just need a border punch, a bunch of your favorite washi tapes, pearl bling and a brad or two. I made my letters by layering 4 separate letter cuts. You could also do this with chipboard letters or with stickers. Either method works well.

There are 8 washi tapes in this card so if you like these, follow the links in the shopping list to pick them up. Note: I substituted a few that are out of stock with some other options.  


Thanks for stopping by today. Please visit the store for all your brad, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Happy Creating Everyone!

HOPPY Birthday

Nothing makes for a more RIBBET-ing birthday card than Eyelet Outlet Frog Brads. As if the frogs themselves weren't already cute enough, the sets also come with cattails, plus purple and yellow waterlilies. So you basically have all the ingredients for an entire scene... (and inspiration for an appropriately punny sentiment!) ...in just ONE little pack of brads! 


You could make a wonderful card with just an inky background and some Wide Sky Washi Tape, but in this case, I stamped the pond edge from Sunny Studios' Country Scenes set, colored it with Tombow Dual Brush pens to perfectly match the brads, and added a sweet little Mini Butterfly, which is on sale. I hope you'll agree this card is TOAD-ily awesome!

can never resist a diabolical pun!

There are lots of adorable animal brads in the Eyelet Outlet Store, I'm pretty sure you can find your favorite there!

hopes you have a
BEARY happy day!

Cupcakes for Everyone!

New Brad Alert! We've got four new styles making their Eyelet Outlet debut today: Female Cardinals, Gift Boxes, Iced Coffee and... my (Lauren's) personal favorite... Swirl Cupcakes!


Three flavors of Swirl Cupcakes come in each package, so of course I had to make three slightly smaller than A2 cards. It also made sense to add in other birthday-themed and/or pink brads, such as a Birthday CandleLollipop Brad (they're on sale!) a FlamingoColored DaisyBirthday Sock Monkey (also on sale!) and a Heart Brad. A scattering of white Round Sequins, some torn patterned paper and a little machine stitching completes the design.


Stay tuned for more New Brad inspiration from the design team, right here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog.

Coffee Bean Balloons??!?!?

Here is a card that's 100% inspired by Sarah Galli Jimenez, who posted two brilliant coffee bean balloon cards in our Eyelet Outlet Fan Group on Facebook and I (Lauren) loved them so much, I had to try to make my own slimline version! 

I arranged (but didn't attach) the balloon bouquet of Coffee Bean Brads, mixed with Heart Brads in white and pink, so that I could lightly pencil in the balloon strings and machine stitch over them, before affixing the brads. I stamped and colored Riley and Co's Midge with Coffee (in Ground Espresso Distress Archival, obviously!) and added a Coffee Cup Brad over the mug that's in the original image; the sentiment is from Wendy Vecchi's Birthday Bash Stamp, Stencil and Die set. Finally, I made a super-fun background paper by lining up strips of Eyelet Outlet Donut Tape on plain white cardstock and used it to frame up the panel.


I love this idea so much that now I'm wondering if there are more brads I could make into balloons?! Stay tuned to see what I come up with in future! Meanwhile, thank you, Sarah Galli Jimenez for sharing this wonderful idea with us!

would suddenly like 
another cup of coffee!

Wise Monkeys

Here's yet another example of a phrase that I (Lauren) saw on a shirt or on Instagram and thought, "that would make a fun card!" I stand by that belief in the case of this sentiment; and yes... I really did think getting old would take considerably longer!


I started out with an entirely different idea, but when I saw my Birthday Sock Monkey Brads and remembered that I had Sprinkles Tape, I changed plans immediately! I love that the Sock Monkeys  (which, by the way, are on sale for .99c!) come with five colors in the packet, so that if you want to use a bunch of them together, they add an entire rainbow. Oh and did I mention they're on sale?! As well as being... more fun than a barrel of (Sock) Monkeys!!!

can never resist
a sock monkey!

Birds of a Feather

This week we're welcoming several new brad styles to the Eyelet Outlet family, including realistic FelinesColored Daisies, a super-cute Kennel Mix, colorful Reptile Brads and my (Lauren's) instant favorite: Tropical Birds, which contain two variations of Toucan and three vibrant Parrots!



I paired my beautiful birdies with chunky letter stickers and some gorgeous diecut tropical foliage. As usual, I was unable to resist a couple of diabolical puns, and I've made them into. jpgs images which you can right-click and save. They will also be archived on the freebies page.



I couldn't resist one more completely gratuitous shot of the bird brads staged with the foliage.


I hope you'll head over to the Eyelet Outlet Store and see all of the new brads; and stay tuned here on the EO Blog because our design team will be rolling out lots more great ideas for using them!

would like to have
a pet toucan!

Seashore Garden...

 ...is the name of this beautiful tape from Eyelet Outlet and the only thing I (Lauren) love more than the name is the tape itself!


The Seashore Garden Tape is interesting for its style as well as its look; instead of being a continuous long repeat, the design is actually six different boxes, in which there is a coordinating scene that has fish, sea creatures, shells, coral and flowers. So my first question was, "Do I use this in long strips, or do I cut it down and use the individual boxes?" but pretty quickly I realized the answer was: BOTH! For my first card, I made a note-quite-A2 sized background by lining up three strips of this inch-wide tape, which I matted on a panel of Glitter Copper Tape, mulberry cardstock and a soft mottled lavender paper. I diecut and matted an oval, as well as a strip to hold my Lawn fawn stamped sentiment, "I *sea* it's your birthday". I filled the oval with some trout from the Trout and Bass Brads and accessorized with Shell Corner Brads as well as starfish and sand dollars from the Sea Shore Brad Set


For my second card, I applied a long strip of Seashore Garden Tape to plain white cardstock, then trimmed it down into the six individual boxes that make up the entire design. I matted each one on a rich kraft cardstock, scattered some TroutShell CornerSea Shore and Shell Brads to a few of the squares and affixed them to a white A6 card with a torn bit of the leftover lavender paper from the first card. 


I love that both of these cards use ALL the same ingredients... but each is quite unique! I'm anxious to try this two-fer method on some of our other Eyelet Outlet Washi Tapes.

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans! Do birthay's feel monsterous to you? They do to me! LOL! Today's card makes fun at that or could also be given to a little love monster in your life for their birthday.



I love all the colors in this card and it's almost all achieved with washi tape. Add a few brads, an enamel heart and a few sequins and it's done! Quick as a wink!

The frame in this card is new and so is the birthday banner tape. Lots of new tape has been added in the last week so you might want to take a trip to the store and look around.

Supplies:

Have a great day!
