For Mom

Butterfly Wings
Like a butterfly emerges and unfolds its graceful wings,
A child grows and develops with the love a mother brings.
I'm thankful for the times when you encouraged me to try, 
For God gave me wings, but, Mom, you taught me how to fly.

By Robin Fogle

In creating my card I started with the butterfly washi tape and adhered it to white cardstock. I then cut in strips to create my "stripes" and layered on cardstock. I added the sentiment greeting and embellished with green jewels, butterfly brads, and a white daisy brad. 

I hope this inspires you to create a card today and show your love and appreciation this Mother's Day.

Butterfly Thanks

 Happy Saturday Eyelet Outlet Fans! Today I wanted to use butterflies in my card. Like many other people, I think butterflies are one of the nicest things you can use on a card. 

To construct this, I used a Spellbinders Glimmer Set to put rainbow foil on white cardstock. The pattern is a pretty floral. I also glimmered the sentiment and cut it out.  

I colored the flowers with Copic Markers and then I made the blue background in the middle by covering a strip of white cardstock in Sparkle Blue Glitter Washi Tape. I cut it out with a die included in the set. 

Next I cut a rectangle out of the middle using a stitched die. On that piece I attached Butterfly Brads and Blue Pearl Bling-Multi in two corners. Then I edged an A2 card base with more Sparkle Glitter Washi Tape before gluing the cut frame on top. I put foam tape on the back of the middle panel and adhered it to the card. This give is a nice pop-up look. I added a Butterfly Bright Brad to the sentiment before attaching it with foam tape to the card front too.

Happy You're My Friend

Hello everyone! It's Janet here sharing a fun and quick way to use your favorite washi tapes. I know we hear sometimes that people love to buy washi but they don't know what to do with it once it arrives. While we love collecting pretty things, I hope this will give you an idea to use washi tape in a card to create colorful words.

Steps To Create This Card:

1. Cut a 5 x 5 1/4 piece of kraft cardstock.
2. Use dies or your cutting machine to cut four simple words such as Happy that I used here.
3. Cut a slightly smaller piece of white cardstock and apply two strips of washi tape behind each word
4. Glue the white cardstock behind the words. If you want, you can also glue in the centers of the letters such as the P and A. That's totally optional.
5. Choose a sentiment to use. I made mine using the Spellbinders Glimmer machine and silver foil. You can use anything you want. You do you!
6. Choose some brads to embellish the sentiment. I used Stitched Flowers Brads Bright and a Butterfly Bright brad.
7. Cut a piece of gold metallic cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/2. Glue the front panel on top.
8. Wrap twine around the panel three times and tie a bow in the middle.
9. Cut a base card out of white that is 11" x 5 1/4" Fold in half.
10. Use adhesive to glue the finished card front to the base card.

I love the washi tape I used on this card. See below for a linked list of products I used.

Spring Bunny Loves You

Hello EO fans! It's Janet here today to show off my first spring/Easter card of 2022! Valentine's Day marks the beginning of the spring season and I am totally ready for it. How about you?

This card features a cute little spring bunny image. What makes this card special are the fun brads and washi tapes from the store. It's so easy and fast to create a scene using washi tapes. The egg and polka dot stripes are washi tapes. The grass the bunny is tucked into is also washi.  I've used a Chick brad, Butterfly Brads-Bright and the Sun and Cloud brad set in the scene. Finally I added a Pink Enamel Dot and two pink Heart Shaped Enamel Hearts to finish this scene.
