An adorable Eyelet Outlet Chicken Brad is the star of this EGG-stra special (and EGG-stra silly) card. Set atop a pile of Egg Brads (they're on sale!) she is justifiably proud of her achievement. Super-cute Chicken Washi Tape makes the perfect background for this MATHEMACHICKEN to strut her stuff!
The new Eyelet Outlet Shark Brads are FIN-tastic for Birthday Cards, as you can plainly SEA! This card's mini-ocean is made with two strips of Ocean Washi Tape atop Wide Water Washi, the tape from which the letters spelling "FINTASTIC" were also diecut. A Cloud Brad from the Sun and Cloud set, as well as one more Shark highlight the sentiment.
Breakfast, we're told, is the most important meal of the day, possibly because it's the most pun-worthy? Eyelet Outlet Bacon, Egg and Toast Brads are always ready to add their special charm to birthday cards, anniversary toasts, or, as in this case, adorable mini Valentines!
Here's a TOAST to all the awesome brads, tapes, bling and embellishments in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store, just waiting to make your next card EGG-stra special!
The joys of Autumn in the Northeast include colorful foliage, crisp cold days and plenty of nuts and seeds for our furry friends to gather. This card sums up Fall and celebrates our new Acorn and Squirrel Brads, a gorgeous Sunflower, a Pumpkin and a bouquet of Leaf Brads.
Puns and brads go together like... well, in this case, like the Parrots from Eyelet Outlet's Tropical Bird Brads (the set has Toucans, as well) and watercolory diecut foliage. The diecut palm and sentiment circle hold three handsome parrots, a Sun and Cloud Brad peep from behind the fronds, there's a scattering of white Sequins for extra texture, and a mat of Giraffe Washi to frame the whole thing.
Visit the Eyelet Outlet Online Store for more birds, reptiles, dogs, cats, farm animals and jungle critters to make your next card as wild and wonderful as the person to whom you'll send it!
Here's a fun, fresh and fruity card featuring our brand new Eyelet Outlet Lemonade and Fruit Brads. On this card, the lemonade pitcher is cleverly standing in as fruit punch, to make the pun in the sentiment work.
The same pitcher can also magically transform into Margaritas when paired with the green glasses in our Cocktail Brad set; and don't forget there are Beer Brads, Wine Brads, Coffee and Iced Coffee, Champagne (in our Wedding Set) and Soda Brads, so EVERYONE can enjoy their favorite beverages this summer in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store!
What could be more appropriate for Father's Day than an absolutely diabolical "Dad Joke"?! Especially one created specifically to show off our brand new, super-fun Eyelet Outlet Cooler and Soda Brads! The first part of the sentiment is computer generated (this free font is called Modern Typewriter) and the second part is diecut, then adorned with brads. A mat of Multicolored Dot Tape and some white Round Sequins emphasize the bubbly aspect of carbonation, and finish off the design.
We're still creating with Coffee (or Tea or Cocoa) & Christmas this week at Jingle Belles... AND... if you make your card holiday coffee card masculine too, you can also link-up at Caffeinated Christmas Challenge #18. There are prizes on both challenge sites, so it's worth thinking about, anyway. Meanwhile, here's what I made this week:
Eyelet Outlet Dinosaur Brads make any day both DINO-mite and REX-cellent, as this pair of adorable minicards will attest. Small shapes like these two inch circles are brilliant for building little scenes at brad scale, with just enough room for a Dino, a Tall Palm and Sun and Cloud Brads and yes, a stamped and paper-pieced volcano courtesy of Avery Elle's adorable Dino-Mite Day stamp set from Paper Anthology!
Have you HERD the news? The legen-DAIRY Eyelet Outlet Farm Brads have gathered together (no KID-ing!) to make a quartet of cards especially for EWE! Whether your favorites are the Cow and Goat Brads or the Pig and Sheep Set, these brads were BARN to be wild!
Eyelet Outlet Bluebird and Robin Brads are a fine addition to pretty much ANY card, but when teamed with a sweet set of birdhouse dies, cut from our Wood Washi they have literally found the perfect home. Sun and Cloud Brads set the scene, a bright blue Heart Enamel adds another pop of color and Script Tape makes an excellent mat.
Puns and brads make the BEST Valentines, and if there are a few styles of Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape in there too, so much the better. This card features Bumble Bee Brads, Heart Brads, vertical Heart Tape and Love Washi, all of which adds up to a HONEY of a Valentine a cardmaker can BEE proud of!*
I've made a "Best Fishes" birthday card for my brother nearly every year for probably a decade. But this version miiiiight be my favorite, since it features a background made of Ocean Washi, a sentiment diecut from Wood Tape backed with scraps of cardstock, and in the starring role are our Eyelet Outlet Fish Brads (they're on sale!), plus some of the Trout from the Trout and Bass set.
It's a SHORE thing this fortnight at Shopping Our Stash because this time we'd like to see cards and projects that incorporate anything to do with sea, ocean, beach, shells... you get the idea, right? Since I'll take any excuse to bring out some of my older but still beloved Lawn Fawn sets, especially Critters in the Sea, this seemed like a good time to do so.
Lawnfawnatics (and all others!) are invited to join me at Paper Anthology, in Kenvil, NJ for my newest class, "Fawn Fun in the Summertime" a cute and colorful class featuring the tiny Lawn Fawn critters from Beary Rainy Day, Gnome Sweet Gnome and Berry Special paired with chunky Pinkfresh Studio diecut alphabets and some truly diabolical (...in a good way, lol...) puns!
We’ll make a square shaker card, a slimline and an A2 greeting. Dates available are currently Monday, June 27th from 11am to 2pm and Saturday, July 16th from 12-3pm; but stay tuned for a third date to be announced! Visit the Paper Anthology Blog or the Class Page for all the details!
At Shopping Our Stash we're mad about dads, and with Father's Day just around the corner, this seems like a good time to make a humorous card that celebrates just such an occasion. I'm pretty sure I got my love of Diabolical Puns from my own dad, so this was pretty easy for me.
I used a free font from DaFont.com called Paper Flowers to format my jokes and printed them out on plain white cardstock. Then I added Eyelet Outlet Saw and Tool Box and Tool Brads to the construction card and a Grill plus some Beer Brads to the hoppy card. I matted with ancient Basic Grey Skate Shoppe papers, affixed my punny panels to a pair of white A2 cards and called it good to go!
Head on over to SOS to see what the gang have made to inspire you, then start planning what you'll make for this fun challenge!
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!
