Have A Koala-TY Birthday!

Today I've made a birthday card full of Koala-ty cuteness! I made this arch shaped A2 sized card with a birthday background stamp, starred vellum, and a Koala themed stamp set. I elevated it with all the fun brads that are birthday and koala themed. As a finishing touch, I added matte enamel dots in blue to the background.

Roses and (CLEARANCE!) Bling
Did you know that Eyelet Outlet is liquidating their entire stock of bling?! There are soooooo many varieties, and while supplies last, each item is just $1.00... how can you beat it? One of my (Lauren's) absolute favorites happens to be Clear Swirl Bling, which is echoing the fancy swirls of this patterned paper. I've also studded the design with Rose Brads and Mini Butterflies... with everything clustered around a few pretty circular sentiment stickers. What else could you possibly need for a beautiful and elegant greeting?

Love & Donuts!
I made this card with backgrounds made of washi tapes. The Heart Washi Tape perfectly fit my theme and I love the cheery red background with pink hearts. The yellow mat is made with Glitter Gold Washi Tape. It's the perfect backdrop to the Coffee Brads, Donut Brads and the hearts from the Card Suit Brads. The best part are the small Pearl Bling accents on the donut. Pink, blue, white, and purple pearls are perfect as donut sprinkles!
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I've inspired you to make a food inspired card. What's your favorite treat? Likely there's a brad for that!
Find all your bling and brads now at the store. All bling is on clearance for only $1 each. This is a sell out so once it's gone, it's gone! Many brads are also on sale so take a trip to the store and shop for all of your own treasures!

Life is Better at the Beach
Maybe you can't actually spend today at the beach, but... you can use Eyelet Outlet Shell Brads, Sea Shore Brads and Sea Gulls to make a beautifully beachy card, instead. Copper Glitter Tape makes perfectly sparkly mats and, in celebration of Earth Day, the background photo was saved from a catalog cover before recycling!

Today's card theme is treasures under the sea. This 5 x 5 card is full of wonderful bling in yummy jewel colors and white pearls. The treasure chest is stuffed with bling and some overflows on the sand bottom as well. In addition to the bling, I added several brads that are perfect embellishments for a treasure card.
To make this, I started inking up the water background with a stencil. Then I colored and trimmed out the stamped ocean bottom scene at the base. Then I layered in all the bling and the brads to create this perfect underwater treasure card.
Find all your bling and brads now at the store. All bling is on clearance for only $1 each. This is a sell out so once it's gone, it's gone! Many brads are also on sale so take a trip to the store and shop for all of your own treasures!

Mini Post-It Notes
Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing a fun project using mini Post-It notes decorated with Eyelet Outlet embellishments. Eyelet Outlet has fun products to decorate your projects.
I created a template to cover the Post-It notes with patterned cardstock. For 2 x 2 inch Post-It notes, cut a piece of cardstock 2 x 5 inches. Then score at 1.5, 1.75, 3.75, and 4 inches. I added a tiny magnet closure. Then I decorated with Champagne bling jewels, Heart jewel bling, Jewel bling in clear and pink, Square jewels, and pearl bling.
These tiny Post-It notes make a fun gift. A cute way to keep notes in your purse or bag. Thank you for visiting the blog today. I hope this inspires you to create a fun project. Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

Today I have a rather "majestic" birthday card for you that is blinged out with our clear tear drop bling (available in blue and pearl, too), some clear bling strip, and some jeweled bling in clear and pink. More colors of that are available, too.
I added some of our swirl bling in Silver Pearl on either side of the crown, too.

Butterfly Flight
To make this card, I chose first a square of pretty marbled cardstock with touches of aqua blue, lavender, and ivory. On top of this, I placed sections of Blue Jewel Swirl Bling. The bling makes me think of butterfly flight and so I made 4 layered butterflies out of vellum with glitter embossing powders in complementary colors to the bling and background. I added two sizes of purple Jewel Bling on the bodies and antenna of the butterflies.
I also made a Thinking of You sentiment strip on blue cardstock with white embossing powder. I layered 2 layers of each butterfly and placed them on the card. I added the final touches of clear 12mm Cut Bling and purple Jewel Bling. I matted the card panel on ivory cardstock and then on top of purple glimmer cardstock.
The final card is a sparkling thinking of you card with glittery butterflies and bling. I'm loving the pretty combination of marble and jewels and how it is the perfect setting for the soft, glittered butterflies.

Hello Crafty Friends - Today I am sharing an envelope I decorated with Eyelet Outlet embellishments. Eyelet Outlet has fun products to decorate your projects.
I used an envelope die to create the envelope and letter dies for the "to" and "from". Then I decorated with glitter bright pink washi tape, heart jewel bling, stitched flower brads, and a daisy brad.
Handmade envelopes elevate packaging and make the recipient feel special. I look forward to putting a handmade card in this special envelope. Thank you for visiting the blog today. I hope this inspires you to create a fun envelope. Please visit Eyelet Outlet for creative supplies and inspiration.

Got Maps?
Before you recycle your paper maps, you should know that they are the perfect background for Eyelet Outlet Classic Car and Driving Brads! As well as cards, old maps work brilliantly as gift wrap; which, in this case, has been adorned with some EO Road Washi Tape to continue the car theme.

Musical Thanks

Hello and Happy Easter! My card today is a musical themed thank you card. I play flute at my church and the church pianist helps me pick music and practices with me, mostly out of the goodness of her heart and love of music. I’m always looking for a musical themed card to thank her after each time I play. This one works perfectly and the EO brads and bling make it extra special.
By the way, be sure to visit the EO store. ALL bling is now $1 until it’s gone. Take advantage of great deals and get your bling now!
So back to the card. This is on an A2 metallic gold card base. I cut a grand piano and a piano keyboard with dies. I made a strip border with white cardstock and added Instrument Washi Tape as an accent. I embossed a white panel with a thanks themed folder, then placed the washi tape accent on top. The keyboard and piano die are placed and then I add the accents. First are the Music Note Brads. Then I added yellow rose brads. The finishing touches are the 12mm Clear Jewels and White Pearl Bling.
I love how this one turned out and I know my pianist will really appreciate this and will display it in her home. I can’t wait to give it to her!
