The grass is getting greener, the flowers are starting to bloom... it must be Spring! Celebrate with a bright and beautiful card featuring Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads, brand new Tulip Brads, Bright Stitched Flowers, Heart Brads and a big, bold sentiment cut from Pink Dot Washi Tape!
Months ago, when our driving brads "rolled out," I had this idea in my mind, but never made it happen. The last ten days I've been under the weather suffering from oak pollen allergies and have hardly gotten off the sofa (which is why you didn't hear from me last week). My housework and laundry are piling up and I actually DO feel like the wheels are coming off!
Hello EO friends! I was tasked by our Sunday School teacher to come up with a treat box for the kids on Easter Sunday morning. This is what I created as my first box. It's a box pattern from Cricut Design Space. It's made to fit a Kinder Egg.
I knew the newest release brads from the store would be great on the box. I decorated the simple box with the new Tulip Brads, Yellow Rose Brads, and Mini Butterfly Brads. They make the box so cheerful and the metal brads add a special touch to it.
The bow on the box was also made with washi tape from the store. I covered both sides of white cardstock before cutting out the bow pieces. The technique allows me to create a bow with a pattern I didn't have in an actual ribbon or cardstock. I love how that worked out. Just know if you try this, you'll need some glue dots or strong double-sided adhesive to put it together. Wet glue will work but takes forever to dry since the washi tape is coated.
If you haven't checked out the new spring brads yet, please stop by the EO store to take a look. You'll also see cards that the design team has made with them. Keep your eyes peeled for additional cards using the new spring brad release. If you want to get the full story, just visit the most recent blog posts from the team. They are so creative and I promise they'll inspire you!
The new Eyelet Outlet Mini Butterfly Brads are beautiful on their own OR mix them with original Butterfly Brads and some gorgeous Butterfly Washi. Yellow Rose Brads and a framed oval panel of Wide Sky Tape complete the design of this "Just Because" card.
Hello everyone! Today I share a card I had so much fun making. It features a cute image from Avery Elle that is several years old. It's always good to into your stash and pull out an oldie but a goodie like this one!
The dies are a variety of makers and are quite old also. Once I colored and cut out the bunny image and puddle, I stamped out the sentiment from the set and glued him and the sentiment on top of a large leaf die cut. I also cut the rainbow image and the flower frame. I arranged everything on a white card base. Then I added all the embellishments that make it go the next level. I added new Yellow Rose Brads at the top of the umbrella. Leaf Brads - Pastel were added above the roses. I used Sun and Cloud Brads on and near the rainbow. Finally I added Tear Drop Bling in blue which make perfect raindrops for this card.
I hope you enjoyed my card today. If you haven't checked out the new spring brads yet, please stop by the EO store to take a look. You'll also see cards that the design team has made with them.

The new Eyelet Outlet Tulip Brads are as bright and beautiful as Spring itself. Here they are growing tall on diecut stems against a landscape made of Wide Sky Washi and Grass Tape. A Butterfly Brad, a Mini Ladybug and some (new!) Mini Butterflies are all enthralled by these lovely blooms.

Well, we're in mid-March, the time has changed, March Madness is starting soon, and it's getting a little warmer where I live. A few daffodils are blooming and the trees are starting to form buds. Whew! We're getting close to moving into full blown spring. Thank goodness!
Today I've made a 5 x 7 card to welcome the new season. I have used the new Tulip Brads as part of the banner on the balloon and the new Mini Butterflies trim the top of the balloon. I added the pretty Yellow Roses Brads on the basket. They really dress the balloon up a lot! I added Daisy Brads to adorn the banner. I also used Green Pattern Washi Tape to mat the card in a perfect green scroll design. Finally I added three blue jewels to the bottom of the balloon. I should also mention that this balloon pattern came from an image in Cricut Design Space.

The roses in question being the brand new, absolutely gorgeous Eyelet Outlet Yellow Rose Brads, o'course! Here they are accented with green Mini Leaf Brads and surrounded by a few of the (also new!) Mini Butterfly Brads; all of which is surrounded by a beautifully intricate frame, diecut from our Wide Wood Washi that's been stuck to plain cardstock.
Hello and happy Sunday! On the first day of a new week, I present a sweet bunny full of color and texture. This is a mandala style bunny made with six layers of cardstock stacked on top of each other. It was cut from a Cricut Design Space file.
While this is pretty, I thought that Eyelet Outlet's new Tulip Brads and Yellow Rose Brads would be beautiful as accents. I hope you agree they do take this bunny to the next level. Since this is a pretty thick piece, I used wire cutters to remove the brad prongs and applied them with hot glue. Sometimes I do this when it's not as practical to install them normally.
I used four new Tulip Brads at the tips of his ears and below his head. I used three new Yellow Rose Brads at his tail, in the middle of the flower on his body and his eye. I think these are fanciful accents that enhance this non-traditional project.
I also applied jewel bling and teardrop bling in several complementary colors on this rabbit. It adds a touch of shine and also complements the many different cardstock colors that were used.
While I could have converted this to a shaped card, it's big at over 8" tall. I opted instead to make an easel back and this guy is going to decorate my desk at work through Easter. I know I'm going to get many compliments on it!
Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you next week but until then please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!
