Wonderful Idea for Washi Tape!!

Check out this fun idea on how to use Washi Tape on your greeting cards.

Start with a simple card base...and add your washi.

I used a metal ruler to "cut" the edges cleanly when the washi was already laid on the card base.

Then, I added fun stickers for the image and sentiment.

But you know that background is the highlight of the card!

Head on over to Eyelet Outlet and fill up that cart with your own choice of tapes!!

How Many Bunnies...

...does it take to fill the Eyelet Outlet Blog? I confess that I (Lauren) don't know the answer; which is just as well, since however many we started with, there'd no doubt be more by the time we finished!

Then there's the question of which bunnies we'd choose, because of course the Eyelet Outlet Store has a few varieties: there are realistic looking Rabbit Brads, Pastel Rabbit Brads (both of which I've used on my cards) as well as adorable Chocolate Bunny Brads.

When it comes to tape, we've got the two I've used for my card backgrounds: Black and White Rabbit Washi and Colorful Rabbit Washi.

Not to mention cuuuute Bunny Washi and Easter Bunny Washi. I've used colorful Chevron Tape, as well, on both my cards.

I also love the Easter Bubble Brads and Spring Bubble Brads, to let my bunnies have their say.

But of course there's much more to Easter than bunnies: there are Egg Brads, Colored Egg Brads, Egg Quicklets, Oval Egg Bling, Oval Jewels, Cross Brads... well, let's just say I don't think you'll run out of choices any time soon, so head on over to the Eyelet Outlet Store and start planning your Easter cards right now!

Wide Washi Wonderful

I recently discovered wide washi tape ... and I'm in love.

How fun is this great Happy Easter Wide Washi Tape design.

The Easter Eggs (soon to be Easter Chicks) are wishing you a Happy Easter.

I want to cover every surface in my studio with this Wide Glitter Book Washi Tape ... it has an absolutely gorgeous sparkle (with no glittery mess).

I used a tall & thin card design (4" x 7 1/2") to create my book shelf ... attaching the tape to green cardstock created a depth of color behind the books.

And of course, no library is complete without a stack of books (new brads coming to the store soon) and a cup of coffee (or in my case, Chai).  Sentiment is from STAMPlorations Literary Caffeine-ations.

Some Bunny Loves You!

Hi everyone!  I'm here today with a clean and simple card that was put together with a couple of punches and a few quick embellishments.  Gotta love it when the colors coordinate and it comes together so easily!  

Some Easter washi tape forms a border beneath a punched garden of flowers accented with enamel dot centers.  A pastel rabbit brad and an enamel heart on the (also punched) sentiment tag add another pop of color to the uncluttered, bright white background. A fast, fun card for Easter, or for any lovely Spring day, for that matter!
