Inspired by... Catalogs?

Ideas can literally come from ANYWHERE, but one of my --perhaps surprising-- sources are the silly t-shirts in novelty catalogs. I can't actually imagine BUYING such a shirt, but it's unusual for me to flick through and not see something I think would make a fun card. In this case, since I knew I had a couple of varieties of Eyelet Outlet Brads which would work perfectly (Kitten Brads and Long Cats) I've made two!


I've used the Kitten Brads as accents quite a few times (especially on Halloween cards!) but I'm glad they are finally getting their starring role. I made a base of Coloring Book Washi, mounted it on a panel of Big Dot Tape and finally added a small pink heart from the Multicolor Enamel Set. My sentiment is in a free font called AR Cena.


My second card uses a free font called AR Bonnie because I liked how its super skinny line paired perfectly with the Long Cat Brads. These guys are on clearance, which is happy because they're only $1.09 but sad because when we run out, they won't be coming back. I matted the sentiment on a panel with Geometric Tape and made the background from Paw Tape.


I hope you'll be inspired by something random and wonderful today... and then I bet there are Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tape that will help make it into the perfect card!

  2. Did you know there's a 12 word phrase you can tell your crush... that will trigger deep emotions of love and impulsive appeal for you buried within his heart?

    Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, please and care for you with all his heart...

    ====> 12 Words That Trigger A Man's Desire Instinct

    This instinct is so built-in to a man's genetics that it will make him try harder than ever before to love and admire you.

    Matter-of-fact, triggering this mighty instinct is so important to achieving the best possible relationship with your man that as soon as you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

    ...You will immediately notice him expose his heart and soul to you in a way he never experienced before and he'll distinguish you as the only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly interested him.
