You're unFROGetable!

 Good Sunday morning friends! Spring is in full bloom here in the Carolinas and I'm already dreaming about the long and lazy summer days ahead. I decided to channel that idea. bring out one of my favorite stamps and make it even better with EO embellishments.

I first colored my no-line image of this lazy frog and fussy cut it out. I created the two backgrounds and then added my fun EO brads. First I added to Lollipop Brads underneath the mushroom. Don't ask me why. I just thought it added more whims! Mini Ladybug and Mini Bee Brads were also added to this scene. Then I added a frog and a cattail from the Frog Set Brad Set. 

Love how this turned out and I enjoyed making it so much. I hope I've inspired you to dream of warmer days ahead. 

Shopping List:

Mini Bee Brads

Mini Ladybug Brads

Birthday Balloons

Nothing says "Happy Birthday" quite as well as a big bouquet of balloons, does it? In real life, you couldn't actually adorn the balloons with Eyelet Outlet brads, but in card form you can, and thus, these diecut balloons are decorated with Lollipop Brads (they're on sale!), Birthday Candles, Unicorn and Rainbow Brads, an Emotion Brad, a Cupcake Brad (also on sale!), on a background of Happy Birthday Washi, matted with Orange Fan Tape.

Of course balloons are awesome for plenty of other festivities besides birthdays and the Eyelet Outlet Store has brads, tape and bling that will enhance any occasion!

HB to a T!

Here's a really fun and EASY birthday card idea that can be adapted to use your favorite Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tapes, customized for any recipient! In this case, I (Lauren) used a bunch of older birthday themed brads and the best news of all is that a lot of them are ON SALE! Including Pastel Balloon Brads, Birthday Sock Monkeys, Lollipop Brads and Cupcakes. I've also used Candle Brads, Party Hats and Bright Balloon Brads. My background is made from Wide Calendar Tape and my sentiment is Happy Birthday Washi. 

The tiny shirts were made with a set of nested T-Shirt dies and a bunch of colorful paper scraps, but you could use any small punch or die of a similar size: hearts, stars and tag shapes, for example, would be really fun! And I'm quite sure you can find the perfect Eyelet Outlet Brad and Tape combination for EVERYONE on your birthday card list!

Felt Easter Banner

Lately I've been doing a lot of felt crafting with my Cricut Maker and I've found that Eyelet Outlet products pair so beautifully with felt my projects.  The texture of the felt as well as the fantastic dimension that the brads and bling bring to the project really is amazing.  

Today I have a felt Easter banner for you.

This project was made entirely of felt and images in Cricut Design Space and embellished with the following Eyelet Outlet products:

Flower Bling

Lollipop Brad

Stitched Mini Flowers

Enamel Hearts

Easter Egg Brads

Rabbit Brads

Fancy Long Zig Zag Bling

 

Designer Susan's Top 3 Holiday Picks

I've been on the Eyelet Outlet Design Team for quite a few years now and it's a little bit hard to pick my top three holiday projects, but after some deliberation, and without further ado, here they are...

NUMBER THREE

In 2018 I created this card using Cricut brand adhesive foil and bling from Eyelet Outlet, which is the most beautiful bling you will ever find!  I made this card in several different colors that year and the bling possibilities were endless. One trip to our bling section at the Eyelet Outlet store and you will see what I mean. This card was a favorite because even though I made several, they were all uniquely different and they practically made themselves!  

Specific bling used for this card:

12 mm Jewel Bling with Clear Edge

Fancy Long Bling Zig Zag

Snowflake Bling

NUMBER TWO

My gingerbread house gift box had to be included in my top three favs! The recipient thought the box was the gift!  I used a gable box from the Cricut image library for this project.  The roof lifts off to reveal the gift inside.  Can you count the Eyelet Outlet products on this one?  

Red and Green Enamel Dots

Sleigh Brad

Prancing Deer Brad

Wreath Brad

Holly Brads

Candy Cane Brad

Glitter Washi Tape

Lollipop Brad

Peppermint Candy Brads

Gingerbread Brads

NUMBER ONE

The sweet smiling face of my granddaughter when she received this Advent Calendar I made for her last year made Number One an easy pick for me! It's constructed from cardstock and the SVG is from My Scrap Chick.  I embellished the drawers with dozens of Eyelet Outlet products.  

I'm sure you'll notice all of the products used above on the gingerbread box as well as these additional products:  

Santa & Mrs. Claus

Horse Brad

Santa Hat Brad

Snowman Brad

Stick On Bling

Truck Brad

Pine Tree Brad

Nutcracker Brad

Thanks for joining us this week as we reminisce on our favorite holiday projects.

Christmas Ornaments

I've been getting ready for Christmas lately and having so much fun creating felt ornaments for my tree and incorporating Eyelet Outlet products in the designs.  

I ironed Wonder Under fusible webbing to the felt, peeled off the paper backing and then cut the pieces with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade.  I assembled the pieces and pressed with a damp pressing cloth to adhere them and then added the different Eyelet Outlet brads and sequins to the ornaments before hand stitching the rounds together, tucking a bit of batting inside before taking the final stitches.  

Products used in the gingerbread house ornament:  

Peppermint Candy Brad

Lollipop Brads

Gingerbread Girl

Holly Brad

Products Used in the Christmas tree ornament:

1/8 Summer Round Brad Mix 

Star Brad

Products used in the sleigh ornament:

Santa & Mrs. Claus Brad

Gift Brads

Snowflake Sequins

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 Candle, Lollipop Brad (they're on sale!) a Flamingo, Colored Daisy, Birthday 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.

Fall Banner

Eyelet Outlet brads aren't just for paper-crafting!  Today I have a cute home decor project for you.  

I created this fall banner for my home on my Cricut Maker.  The Maker and rotary blade cut all the burlap and felt for the project flawlessly.  For the layered felt elements, I ironed fusible webbing to the back of the felt and removed the paper liner before cutting the images with the Maker. Then I steamed ironed the layers together.

Eyelet Outlet has so many great fall and Halloween themed brads and adding them to my burlap pendants was super easy.  Since the weave is quite loose, I didn't even have to make holes for the prongs to fit through.

The brads I used for this project were the pumpkins, leaves, scarecrow, lollipop, and candy corn.  

If you've used Eyelet Outlet brads for any of your home decor projects, we'd love to see, so be sure and tag us on Instagram!

Hope Your Birthday is Smashing!

When I saw the little pinata image in the Cricut image library, I immediately thought of Eyelet Outlet candy brads!  On this colorful card I used the lollipop brads and the peppermint candy brads.  Both of these have several different colors in each package.  

I used a few strips of skinny washi tape to create a border between my striped paper and sentiment.  Eyelet Outlet has lots of colors, widths, and patterns of washi tape to choose from.

Thanks for stopping in today and we'd love to see how you're using the candy brads in your projects, so come on over to the Eyelet Outlet Fans Group on Facebook and share with us or tag us on Instagram!

 

Advent Calendar

My youngest granddaughter is the perfect age for an Advent calendar this year - big enough not to swallow little toys and yet little enough to still like Dollar Store trinkets, so when I saw this amazing Advent calendar file at My Scrap Chick I knew I had to have it!  A shout out to Tracy Rushton who designed it!  It's an engineering marvel in my opinion!  The file includes a PDF version in the event you don't have a die cut machine.  

The most fun was decorating the faces of the 25 boxes using various images from the Cricut image library and many embellishments from Eyelet Outlet.  

I'll do my best to spot all of them and link to them at the end of the page!  

Wishing all of our Eyelet Outlet fans a Happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Gingerbread House Gift Box

The weather has started turning cooler here in Central Texas, so it's easier to turn my attention to Christmas crafts than it was when we were still in the 90's.  Today I've got a great little gift box to show you that is loaded with awesome Eyelet Outlet embellishments!

This gable box is from the Cricut Sweet Tooth Boxes image set. The roof has a slit in the center that slips over the handle of the box and lifts off to open which I thought was so clever.  Placing the brads on the box is super simple if done before actually assembling the box.  

I thought the holiday red and green enamel dots were a great way to embellish the scallops on the roof, but any of our stick on gems would also be cool.  

For snow around the base of the box I used a strip of silver glitter washi tape. I added a wreath brad to the door and some holly brads to the windows.  The star of the show though has to be Eyelet Outlet's brand new Gingerbread brads!  The set includes a little boy and a little girl gingerbread person!  I also added some more sweet touches - the peppermint candy brads, candy cane brad, and lollipop brad.  The roof seemed like a great opportunity for one of our prancing deer brads pulling Santa's sleigh brad!

See these and more holiday brads from Eyelet Outlet here!  Thanks for being with us today!

Peppermint Twist!

My husband was a radio DJ back in the late 60's and oldies tunes fill the air quite often in our home. Today's projects are inspired by one of those old songs, the Peppermint Twist!

I've been playing around with making rosettes lately to use on my Christmas wrapping. The fun part of rosette making is decorating the centers and I love the way these turned out!  So colorful and festive with Eyelet Outlet Peppermint Candy brads in every color!

These diamond rosettes are in the Cricut image library and are part of the Scoring Wheel Rosettes image set.  

Keeping with my sweet theme today, here's a Christmas card that is loaded with all kinds of SWEET Eyelet Outlet products!  In addition to the peppermint candy brads, I've used our brand new Gingerbread Washi Tape that is loaded with goodies!  There's candies and gingerbread men and candy canes on a lovely aqua background!  And it paired great with our red stripe foil washi tape, too!

I added a couple of our Christmas Cookie Brads, Lollipop Brad, Candy Cane Brad, and some Enamel Dots for colorful buttons on my ginerbread men.

So glad you stopped in today!  If you're in the Birch Run, Michigan area, stop in and see us in person this weekend at the Great Lakes Scrapbook Event!

Garden Helper

Sorry for the "overcast" picture but there isn't a good way to take the picture with the rainy, overcast weather the last few days. First I added some  Coloring Book Washi Tape, leaf pattern to the blue cardstock, then stitched on it,  The cute image is from Stitchy stamps, 

I wanted to make a cute scene but I didn't have any flower brads so I used lollipop brads from the Eyelet Outlet and added some cardstock flowers behind them and coloured the stick with a copic marker.  I also added a couple of colourful butterflies also from the Eyelet Outlet.

What would a gardening card be without the super cute garden tool brads and the straw hat brad both are from the Eyelet Outlet Store.

Eyelet Outlet supplies used:

Wide Washi Tape

Garden Tool Brads

Colorful butterfly brads

on sale are

Lollipop brads

Straw hat brads
