Thanks a Brunch!

I was recently introduced to a fun interactive fancy fold card called a Hide & Seek card. In this version, the cute little toast near the top of the closed card disappears when the card opens.

As it drops out of site, the little square that says, "Thanks a Brunch" appears! I used a very old Cricut image set called "Kate's Kitchen" for this card.  

On the inside of the card I embellished with bacon, eggs, toast, tea, and silverware brads. Below I've shared a video that will show you the card in action.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Rejoice

Happy Easter to all those out there that celebrate it! My card today celebrates this most important day in the Christian calendar. 

To make this A2 sized card, I first applied Egg Washi Tape on the edges of a white card base. I embossed blue cardstock with a floral pattern and die cut the two small and one large cross. I arranged them on the panel after I applied glimmer powder to parts of the flower. I also heat embossed the sentiment and cut it in an oval shape with a scalloped border. 

Now all was ready to add the EO goodness! I arranged Rose and Yellow Rose Brads on the cross to create a pretty floral cluster. Below, I arranged Rabbit, Colored Eggs and Chick Brads. I tucked the sentiment in and the end result is a pretty and peaceful card to celebrate Easter.

Spring Birdhouse

Good morning, crafters.  I'm so glad spring has finally sprung. I saw my first blue bird of the season yesterday and it inspired this card using Eyelet Outlet's beautiful blue bird brad. A robin is also included in this set.

I had this lovely daisy digital paper, so I carried the daisy theme forward by using a couple of our daisy brads and a leaf brad on my card.

I made a similar card not long ago with a Winter theme using our cardinal brads, and I'm thinking ahead in my mind about a Fall Birdhouse version, too!

Thanks for coming by today and if you've used Eyelet Outlet bird brads in any of your projects, we would love to see!  Come by our Eyelet Outlet Fans Facebook group and share, please!

Magical Tea House

 Hello EO friends! Today I have made a magical card full of whimsy and cheerful fun. It features a tea house perfectly made for two cute Girl Gnome Brads. Flying above in the blue sky are the new Mini Butterfly Brads.

To make this card, I first cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 1/2." I cut it in half to form two long narrow pieces. I applied strips of Red/White Dot Washi to one strip and Strawberry Washi to the other. Then I cut each strip in half so that I had 4 rectangles of equal size. I placed the pieces on my score board and spaced each the same apart from each other, using the score lines as a guide. To keep them in place I attached them each together with a strip of washi tape. Be sure to lay out the pieces right side up as you do this. Next I added foam tape strips to the back of each rectangle and then I placed them as one piece on a white A2 card base. Once in place, I removed the washi tape that held each piece in place. This technique makes each rectangle perfectly spaced without any hassle or guessing. It's an old cardmaking technique but a good one!

Keep Calm

 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!

I created this pocket envelope and the car with my Cricut, using the slice tool to cut the existing wheels off of the the car.

I added a few Eyelet Outlet wheel brads from the Driving Brads set to the front as though they were bouncing off the car. The digital paper on the inside of my pocket envelope is from The Digi Rainbow on Etsy. The set is called, "Beep Beep."  For the card that slips into the envelope, I added a strip of Eyelet Outlet grass washi tape and then on top of that I added a strip of our road washi tape. 

Hopefully I'm no the road to recovery now! Thanks for stopping by today.
