Hoppy Easter One and All!

Easter is almost here and I'm so excited for it! Today's card is a sweet scene with all the things. And of course, the products from Eyelet Outlet make this card truly special.

To make my card, I started by creating a watercolor background on watercolor paper. Then I used a stencil to apply blue metallic paste in a paisley pattern. Once everything was dry, I cut it the panel down to fit on my card and began applying all the elements that make up this scene. I created a grassy hill with a die and added Tulip Brads. I colored a rabbit and made an egg with a grass background. The sentiment is stamped on the egg. Then I arranged Colored Egg Brads and Chick Brads to the scene. The final touches are two Butterfly Brads and several jewels in pink and blue. The result is the cutest Easter card full of pretty spring colors and adorable elements.

Rejoice

Happy Easter to all those out there that celebrate it! My card today celebrates this most important day in the Christian calendar. 

To make this A2 sized card, I first applied Egg Washi Tape on the edges of a white card base. I embossed blue cardstock with a floral pattern and die cut the two small and one large cross. I arranged them on the panel after I applied glimmer powder to parts of the flower. I also heat embossed the sentiment and cut it in an oval shape with a scalloped border. 

Now all was ready to add the EO goodness! I arranged Rose and Yellow Rose Brads on the cross to create a pretty floral cluster. Below, I arranged Rabbit, Colored Eggs and Chick Brads. I tucked the sentiment in and the end result is a pretty and peaceful card to celebrate Easter.

He Lives!

Hello EO fans! Today the sun is shining and it's starting to turn wondrously green after a week of rain and cooler weather. We may have turned the corner on winter. I can hope anyway! It's gotten me dreaming of my favorite time of year, Lent and Easter.

I started this card by cutting two rectangles and a square out of a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of patterned cardstock. Behind the largest center window, I applied Strips of Glitter Washi Tape - Purple Pattern. Purple always makes me think of Easter and the washi tape is very pretty and a deep shade of purple. It's the perfect background to add three cross stickers I found in my stash. Behind the lower window, I applied Grass Washi Tape. It's the perfect and quick scene I needed to stage Chick Brads and Rabbit Brads. To the left of that window, I inserted Rabbit Brads. In the upper window, I stamped and cut out a sentiment that I put on foam pads. To the left and just below, I inserted Butterfly Brads.

This card celebrates the risen Lord while still getting in plenty of cuteness for the Easter season. This one just might go to my Pastor since she would appreciate the mix of religious and secular in a way that supports and compliments each other. This card successfully does just that.

Chick Brads

Somebunny Wishes You a Happy Easter

Eyelet Outlet Brads pair beautifully with all of your smaller critter stamps! For example this sweet bunny is just the right size to be friends with one of our adorable Chick Brads, while the egg stamp from the same set was perfect for creating some colorful eggs from patterned paper scraps, then adorning them with a Pastel Rabbit, a Heart Brad (with stamped carrot!) and a Stitched Flower, as well as some strips of Bunny and Carrot Washi Tape. The background features Wide Sky Washi and Zig Zag Tape.

 

The Eyelet Outlet Online Store has all the embellishments you need, for whatever holidays and occasions you celebrate!

Happy Spring!

Technically, it's still a few weeks before Spring begins, but... it's NEVER too early to start daydreaming about warm weather and flowers, right? This journal card already had some printed chicks and eggs, but there was still room for Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads, Colored Eggs and White Daisies. Pink Dot Washi Tape sets off the large and small sentiments for extra impact.

Check out the Eyelet Outlet Online Store for all the EGG-cellent brads, tapes, paper flowers and embellishments you need for every occasion from Spring to Easter to birthdays and beyond!

Have An Eggs-tra Special Easter!

 It's always fun to create farm scenes and in this case I have used it to create an Easter card. I created this Easter farm scene using Cricut Design Space and a chicken coop .svg pattern I had in my library. The grass and fence are patterns available from Cricut.

This is a 5" square top-fold card. Once I made the scene with cardstock, I added Colored Daisy Brads, Colored Egg Brads, Chick Brads, and Chicken Brads. I added an "eggs-tra special" sentiment to finish it. This will be fun to pop in the mail to my Mom who always enjoys cards depicting the farm life she loves.

Easter Egg and Chicks

 

This is a colorful Easter egg that I die cut and then used

pastel brads from Eyelet Outlet for the center of the 

flowers.  I have been waiting to use the cute yellow chick

brads that come in two shapes to accent this egg.

I think they are adorable.

Of course, I love the washi tape from Eyelet Outlet and 

frequently use it as borders on my cards. I finished off the card

with some blue strip jewels. Be sure to check out the shopping

list (below) of the Eyelet Outlet items used in this project.

Hey, Chickie!

 The Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads are having an EGG-cellent adventure under Sunny skies, on a lawn made of wide Grass Washi used both flat and as a diecut border... the better for hiding Colored Egg Brads.

Be sure to scroll around the EO Blog to see all of the inspirational Easter and Spring cards and projects our fabulous design team have made with their Eyelet Outlet goodies!

Hippity Hoppity...

...Easter's on its way! But there's still time to make some super-easy cards by adding Eyelet Outlet Rabbit Brads, Colored Eggs, and Chicks to store-bought Easter-themed journal cards. But first, let's make them even more appealing by adding mats of plaid patterned paper adorned with EO Flower Washi Tape.

I (Lauren) often use Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape as a background or a border, but sometimes it's fun to use it to alter/enhance a store-bought patterned paper, like this fun plaid. I built my strips of Flower Tape right into the existing design and I love the result!

I'm always on the lookout for products which pair well with brads, and these adorable journal cards match the colors and size of EO Colored Egg Brads, Chicks, Sun and Cloud Brads, Mini Butterflies and of course the handsome Rabbit Brads very well.

Stay tuned for more Easter ideas from the design team, right here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog!

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.

An EGG-cellent Easter

Easter cards are an excellent place for puns! If you go with someBUNNY, anyBUNNY or everyBUNNY you can bring in Rabbit Brads or Pastel Rabbits. On the other hand, if you switch over to Chick Brads and bring in Colored Eggs (or ordinary Egg Brads, for that matter) that gets you even more EGG-citing, EGG-stra special, EGG-cellence, like this card! To make it into a little landscape, I've added a Sun and Cloud Brad as well as some Mini Stitched Flowers, tucked behind layers of punched grass.

For an even faster background, you can always grab Easter Egg Tape, Egg Washi, or one of our Rabbit Washi or Bunny Tape varieties in the Eyelet Outlet Store!

can never resist a pun!

A Little Bundle

Today's card entitled "A Little Bundle" gives the feeling of joy upon the birth of a new baby.

Whether this card is used as a congratulations to the family or as a baby announcement, it is sure to bring smiles.  Designed as a wall in the nursery, the stuffed animals hold the birth announcement while the Eyelet Outlet Animal Brads are framed and placed on the wall above the chair rail.  The Chick Brad, Koala Bear Brad, and Sloth Brad make the perfect nursery room decoration!

NOTE:  Even though this is a card, if all of the Eyelet Outlet Animal Brads are used to make an actual home décor picture for the nursery, it would be lovely!

Eyelet Outlet Supplies Used:

Chick Brad

Koala Bear Brad

Sloth Brad

Other supplies include the Lawn Fawn animal stamps and dies along with the sentiment.  The diaper pins and pacifier are Crafter's Companion dies.

This card is easy to re-create:  if you don't have the animal stamps/dies, swap them out for any animals you may have or use animal stickers!  Let your creativity reign!

Head on over to the Eyelet Outlet site to get your animal brads, washi, bling, and more.  

Be Safe, Be Well, and Happy Crafting!
