Christmas Tree Wonder
For the background, I cut strips out of Holiday Washi Tape with a die so that every other strip was of silver glitter cardstock. I added the Christmas sentiment and three Clear Edge Bling. This is a card with lots of sparkle thanks to the gold and silver glitter cardstock of the background. It is hard to capture the beauty on camera but it's quite pretty. Below are links to all the products I used on this card.
Thanks for joining me here today and please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!

Christmas Peace
In the middle of creating fall themed cards, I decided take a quick detour to make my first Christmas card of the season. Eyelet Outlet has so many holiday themed brads to choose from. Today I used some of my favorites!
This card was created with a card kit. I put it together and then added lots of brads and bling to make it pop. First, I used 8 mm Cut Bling in Red. I also added red Jewel Bling in a two sizes. But the stars of the card are the female and male cardinals sitting atop of an ornament. I also added a Red Cut Bling on the jute bow, two Holly Brads, and a Poinsettia Brad.

Thankful Fall
Fall is so much fun to craft. I love using fall colors and textures and today's card was super fun to put together. This is a simple fancy fold which results in a pop-up middle portion. It folds flat for mailing and a panel can be added to the back for a sentiment and note.
I decorated this fall card with several EO brads and bling. I placed three Butterfly Brads, one on each panel. Two Pumpkin Brads and a Sunflower rest under the mushroom die cut. I added a lovely Acorn from the Acorn and Squirrel Brad set. Last I added Orange Cut Jewel Bling and yellow Glitter Enamels on the panels and as spots on the mushroom.

Let's Get This Party Poppin'! A Hippo-rific Birthday Card!
Get ready to smile, because today I'm sharing a handmade birthday card featuring the new and utterly adorable dancing Hippo Brads! This pair of whimsical hippos are guaranteed to bring a dose of joy to any celebration.
I decided to create a square fancy fold card for this special occasion. What makes this fold unique is a middle panel that holds the upper and lower folds neatly shut until opened. This simple design adds an extra layer of surprise when the card is opened!
The stars of this party are, of course, the dancing hippos! I positioned them on the center panel, ready to celebrate. And what's a party without balloons? These happy hippos are holding onto three cheerful Balloon Brads, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Just above the playful "Hippo-Party-Mus" sentiment, you'll spot two charming Gift Brads, perfect for setting the birthday mood. To really light up the scene, I created a fun string of "party lights" using 8mm Cut Jewels in three vibrant colors. They add just the right amount of sparkle!
This card was so much fun to put together, and I hope it sparks some creative joy for your next birthday project. The new Hippo Brads are truly a delight to work with!

Follow That Bunny!
Hello and happy Easter Sunday! In celebration of all the traditions of spring and Easter, I have made an envelope box card that contains a little girl with her Easter bunny. I have decorated it with many flower brads, colored egg brads, grass washi, sun & cloud brads and cut jewels.
I combined Rose Brads, Daisy Brads, and bright Fresh Flowers on the front to create a spray of pretty flowers. Rose brads decorate the corners too. You can almost smell them!
