Happy Birdie(s)

Flamingos are not the only beautiful and vivid bird featured on Eyelet Outlet Funky Birds Washi, but they are my (Lauren's) favorite (who doesn't love a bright pink bird with really long legs?!) and since I also had a pack of Flamingo Brads, I decided to make them the stars of my cards.

I lined up a few strips of Funky Birds Tape on some plain white cardstock and used my Altenew Bold Alphabet Dies to cut out the keyword. I added the rest of my sentiment in stickers and then embellished with Flamingo Brads, Tall Palms and White Round Sequins.

For my second card I added the tape directly to my graph paper background, on top of some Pink and Green ZigZag Washi. Another sticker sentiment, Flamingo Brad and a few Sequins complete the design.

Prefer your flamingo tape a little less funky? We've got five other varieties, I'm pretty sure you'll find at least one to love!

Summer Handbag

Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a fun summer handbag which is actually a gift holder! I absolutely love making these, and this one features washi tape, pearl bling and a paper flower with a jewel brad center! How fun would it be to tuck a gift card or cash in this for a summer birthday, beach wedding or anniversary gift?!

For the front and back of the purse base, I covered the cardstock with Funky Birds Washi Tape and die cut the pieces. I cut the remaining purse pieces from tweed cardstock and the rings from gold foil cardstock, and then assembled the purse handles. I assembled the purse base and added White Pearl Bling Strips across the washi tape seams on the front and back, then attached the handles and the other purse pieces. I attached the three Paper Flower layers with an Amber 6mm Jewel Brad w/Gold Edge and affixed the flower to the front of the purse.

Thanks so much for stopping by - we'll see you next time!
