Valentine Postage Collage
I just love the versatility of Eyelet Outlet products and was exited to create a wintery Valentine themed postage collage! In staying with a winter theme, I used the snowman couple brads as my focus and added white glitter washi tape for snow and a red enamel heart. Next, I stamped "you melt my heart" sentiment as well as some script, postage lines, and hearts.
I filled in my other postage stamp spaces with Happy Valentine's Day glitter washi, wintery glitter tall tree washi tape, and vintage washi tape! I added a few red rose brads to finish off my card!
And since I was having so much fun! I decided to decorate my envelope too! I added the skinny red and white washi tape and some Valentine themed stamps to finish off my project! I hope you enjoy! What a fun way to play with a variety of Eyelet Outlet washi tapes, brads and more!

Bee My Valentine!
I love creating little Valentine gifts for friends and family! Here is a quick and fun way to show some love with a small gift!
I started with creating the largest tag on white cardstock and adding heart stamps, distress inks, "Happy Valentine's Day" glitter washi, and pink and red enamel hearts. I saved some room in the middle to write a little note. I then cut a smaller tag in red and added some pink hearts stamped, along with more "Happy Valentine's Day" glitter washi and enamel hearts. Next, I created my smallest tag, stamping the cute bee image, coloring in with markers, adding some prisma glitter, and embellishing with my little bee brads. Lastly, I used a hole punch to connect all 3 tags and attached a tube of Chapstick with pink and red ribbons!
I hope this inspires you to shop all the adorable Valentine themed products at Eyelet Outlet and create some personal Valentine's for your friends and family!

I only have eyes for you!
Who loves making Valentines?
I am loving these adorable pink and red enamel hearts! They are so fun to play with! I was inspired to create this card using my enamel hearts and owl adhesive! Owls are such lovely creatures with big, dreamy eyes and "I only have eyes for you" seemed like the perfect sentiment! I also added a row of pearl brads to the bottom right for a little extra embellishment! I hope you have started on your valentines to share love with those you love!

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!

World's Best Handyman Dad!
Hi everyone! Father's Day is coming up and for my family this is an extra special one because it's also my son's 17th birthday! Yes, folks. He was born on Father's Day. It rarely lines up on the same day but this is one of those years and I can't wait to celebrate with both of my best Dudes!

BIG Initials!
One of the easiest ways that I (Lauren) have found to quickly customize a plain store-bought gift bag is with giant initials, covered in Eyelet Outlet Washi Tape of which... fortunately... I happen to have quite a bit! I've also got some fun Enamel Hearts and Stars, which I've scattered around the bags for even more texture and interest.

Love You A Sloth!
I've been working on Valentine's Day cards lately and I couldn't wait to bring out the sloths from the Sloth and Koala brad set for this card. The koalas are perfectly sized for the small branches I have in my stamp and die stash. In this case, I decided to use dies for the branches and leaves. Pastel Leaf brads and pink and red Heart Enamels were also used as embellishments. The sky background was created by using two pieces of Sky Washi tape on a small piece of cardstock. I placed it under the scalloped window so that the seam is mostly behind the lower branch. It disguises it very well. Although not much is seen of the cute pattern, I used a border of Sloth Washi tape on the card edges. It gives a nice black border to the bright green paper and I like that there are little flowers peaking out as well. You can get all of these items and more at the EO store.

It's In My Jeans
This year hasn't been good to the farmers here. The rains came and came and came when they needed to be planting. Then when they finally got the crops in the fields, drought. It's yet to be determined what harvest will be like.
Even with the adversity, they don't give up. After all, farming is in their

Hippity, Hoppity...
I've heard that some people don't actually enjoy chocolate?! So luckily we also have realistic looking Rabbit Brads and super cute Pastel Rabbits as well. Of course all bunnies love Carrots so I've grabbed a few out of the Vegetable Brad set. And Easter wouldn't be the same without beautiful Colored Eggs, but we've also got plain (white and tan) Egg Brads, should you need some. (And there are fried eggs in the Breakfast Brad set, too!)
My second card is an all-occasion greeting, but it's in pretty Spring colors, so I thought I'd post it here too. This one features my favorite Hugs and Kisses Tape plus some Skinny Washi and Pastel Hearts Enamels.
Happy Easter and Happy Spring!!!

When Irish Frogs Are Smiling
By now I expect everyone knows that premade journal cards are my very favorite cardmaking "secret" so it's no surprise that I have employed them here. These particular ones happen to be from Doodlebug Design; I love their clear bright colors. I changed the "Happy" to "Hoppy" on the sentiment flag with the help of a green jewel brad, and added a handsome pair of Frog Brads as well as one of the cattails and waterlillies which come in the same set. A green Heart Enamel completes the little scene.
