Happy Birthday Wishes!

Birthdays are a great time to share good wishes and show appreciate for those you love! And making handmade birthday cards is extra fun with Eyelet Outlet washi tapes!

For my card base, I cut white cardstock to 5.5 x 5.5 and used a grid mat to create a diagonal pattern using various glittery washi tapes and the Happy Birthday washi tape! Next, I stamped and fussy cut my cupcake base and icing. I added pink pearls for sprinkles and a birthday candle brad and adhered with foam tape. I layered on a piece of white doily and embellished with swirl purple jewel bling. I added a banner greeting and a few more sparkles!  I think it is a fun, festive, and colorful greeting that anyone would enjoy receiving on their special day!

Snowy Winter Birthday Wishes!

Do you have family and friends with winter birthdays? Here's a fun, cheery snowman that is sure to brighten their special day! 

After stamping my snowman and coloring him in with markers, I used an exacto knife to cut slits around him to place my "happy" banner. Next, I added some white glitter washi for snow and a couple snowflake brads. I added the birthday banner to the bottom and embellished with colorful balloon brads and party hats for a festive birthday card! Creating with washi tape and brads from Eyelet Outlet make card creating easy and fun!

Happy, Happy Birthday!

 Birthdays are wonderful occasions to celebrate your friends and family!

I love the color palette of these washi tapes! And, when you can't choose just one, well... add as many as you can! I paired my assortment of washi tapes with a chalkboard sign stamp and greeting. Lastly, I added colorful balloon brads! Because, it's not a birthday party without balloons, right?? Hope you enjoy!

NOT Just for Cards!

Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape, Paper Flowers and Brads, that is. You can also use them to make customized gift bags, like this one. Just cover plain white cardstock with neat strips of tape (this variety is Happy Birthday Foil Washi)... print out an initial in your favorite font (this one's called Chicken Pie and was free on dafont.com)... trace and cut. Embellish with a few shades and sizes of Solid Color Paper Flowers held on with Candle, Party Hat and Cupcake or Cupcake Swirl Brads. For even more color and pizazz, diecut hearts from a coordinating tape, like Pink Checked Washi and use one repeat of the Birthday Tape to create your sentiment strip. Scatter a few Round Sequins and you're good to go. And yes, all of the above looks pretty good on a matching birthday card, as well!  

There are brads, tapes, flowers, sequins, bling and more for every style, theme or occasion you can possibly imagine in the EO Store... you should probably check that out!

I love having handmade birthday cards on hand to give to friends and family in celebration of their special day! This birthday card was super fun to create using the Happy Birthday washi tape! It's a game changer!! I also loved adding the party hats, colorful summer brads, and a tiny pink pearl on my stamped party hat for extra flair!

Birthday Balloons

Nothing says "Happy Birthday" quite as well as a big bouquet of balloons, does it? In real life, you couldn't actually adorn the balloons with Eyelet Outlet brads, but in card form you can, and thus, these diecut balloons are decorated with Lollipop Brads (they're on sale!), Birthday Candles, Unicorn and Rainbow Brads, an Emotion Brad, a Cupcake Brad (also on sale!), on a background of Happy Birthday Washi, matted with Orange Fan Tape.

Of course balloons are awesome for plenty of other festivities besides birthdays and the Eyelet Outlet Store has brads, tape and bling that will enhance any occasion!

HB to a T!

Here's a really fun and EASY birthday card idea that can be adapted to use your favorite Eyelet Outlet Brads and Tapes, customized for any recipient! In this case, I (Lauren) used a bunch of older birthday themed brads and the best news of all is that a lot of them are ON SALE! Including Pastel Balloon Brads, Birthday Sock Monkeys, Lollipop Brads and Cupcakes. I've also used Candle Brads, Party Hats and Bright Balloon Brads. My background is made from Wide Calendar Tape and my sentiment is Happy Birthday Washi. 

The tiny shirts were made with a set of nested T-Shirt dies and a bunch of colorful paper scraps, but you could use any small punch or die of a similar size: hearts, stars and tag shapes, for example, would be really fun! And I'm quite sure you can find the perfect Eyelet Outlet Brad and Tape combination for EVERYONE on your birthday card list!

Is there anything more festive than Birthday Sock Monkeys? I (Lauren) kind of doubt it, especially when they're Eyelet Outlet Birthday Sock Monkey Brads AND they're on sale! I've paired mine with some colorful Happy Birthday Washi Tape, Pastel Balloon Brads (also on sale!) and Heart Enamels.

If Sock Monkeys are not your idea of birthday joy, there are plenty of other styles of brads, tape, flowers, bling and enamels at Eyelet Outlet!

Age is Just a Number ...

I love the combination of foiling with Washi Tape in this Happy Birthday Washi Tape ... it makes it so easy to achieve a card with extra-special metallic shimmer.

I used gold metallic paper for my background and Blue Glitter Washi Tape to bring out the effects of the foiling even more.  Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Die Cut was used to create the background.

Here's another angle so you can see the metallic reflection.

I finished with coordinating Adhesive Blue Pearl Strips between the double strips of Happy Birthday Washi Tape and finished with a delicious Birthday Cake Brad.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts Irreverent Birthday Messages.

Products used:

• Happy Birthday Washi Tape - Foil
• Glitter Washi Tape - Blue
• Cake Brad
• Pearls Strips - 4mm - Blue
