Lavender Luxuries: The Card & Box Duo

Hi everyone! Well, it's pretty cold across the US and Canada but it didn't stop me from putting a little spring into my life. Today's project is a card and matching gift box. Eyelet Outlet paper flowers, brads, and bling bring these projects to life and tie them both together.

Today's card is a double-flip style. When closed, it's 6" square with paper flowers, bows, and bling. When you open it, the front circles with the flowers flip to the back revealing the sentiment and beautiful wide fancy wide purple strip of glorious jeweled bling.

Because this card is bulky, I made a matching envelope box that is 1/2" deep. Then I decorated it with coordinating cardstock, a purple flower and a bow with heart bling in the centers. Then I used purple strip bling to outline the border of the paper mat on the box. A sentiment finished this box and thanks to EO's products, it's a matching set that perfect for a special gift-giving experience.

Shopping List
Paper Flowers - White, Lt. Pink, and Dusty Purple

Hi (and Hi Again!)

I (Lauren) am still slightly obsessed with Eyelet Outlet's huge selection of Pearl and Jewel Brads, which come in pretty much every size, color and style you can imagine. This week I've used them on two all-occasion cards that also feature EO Flower Petal and Multicolor Dot Washi Tapes:

I built the first of these cards on top of a polka-dot transparency, so that the blooms I backed with cardstock and cut out of the Flower Petal Tape would appear to drift down the card, held on only by a variety of Pearl and Jewel Brads, ranging from tiny 5mm size to substantial 12mm. There are two strips of Multicolor Dot Tape wrapped around the front of the card and a small strip of cardstock inside, to hold a greeting and signature.

For the second card, I used one of my favorite diecutting tricks, which is to keep an entire set of alphabet dies intact, and use the negative space, after the letters are cut out, to use as a background. When the letters H and I happen to be next to each other, this makes an instant greeting! This time I used only 5mm Purple Pearl Brads (they come in five other shades!) with silver bezels to attach the Flower Petals.

Remember that ALL Eyelet Outlet Pearl and Jewel Brads are currently on sale; so I'm pretty sure you'll want to collect an assortment of styles, too!

EGG-stravaganza!

Do you know how many styles there are of Eyelet Outlet Pearl and Jewel Brads? Ok, as a matter of fact, I (Lauren) don't know either, but it's A LOT! They range from quite small (5.5mm) to extra large (16mm) though the biggest one shown here is the 10mm Soft Pink Pearl Brad attaching a few Paper Flowers on the medium sized egg. Meanwhile, many styles are available in both silver and gold bezels; there are smooth and bumpy styles; some have fancy edges... and by the time you factor in all of the different colors, there are literally hundreds of variations! But the most important thing for you to know about EO Pearl and Jewel Brads is that they are ALL on sale for just .75c a pack!!! The second most important thing for you to know is that they are all beautiful and useful. In this case, I've decorated Easter eggs with them:

As you can see, we also have quite a few styles of Sticky-Back Bling, as well. On this card and tag we see individual Pearls (there are Jewels as well), Bling and Pearl Strips, and several styles of Fancy Long Bling, and I've hardly scratched the surface of what is listed under "Bling and Sequins" in the EO Store. By the way, there are also FOUR styles of Eyelet Outlet Washi on this card: Bunny Tape, Chevron, Rainbow Dot Washi and my current fave: a wide, rainbow blossom-bedecked style called Flower Petal Tape, from which I have cut out individual flowers and added them with Pearl Brads to the largest egg. Of course they work for lots of other occasions besides Easter, so you should probably head over to the Eyelet Outlet Shop and browse around for a bit!

Pearl & Jewel Brad Sale Continues - and an Easter Card Idea

Eyelet Outlet probably has the largest and biggest variety of pearl and jewel brads at their store. It's been a staple for years. To celebrate, they are doing a 75% off sale on them which brings the pack price down to .75 cents for a limited time!

My card is inspired by those that use broken and old jewelry to make pretty framed pictures, usually on a velvet background. In this case, I added many colors and styles of brads to a paper egg shape to create a bejeweled egg. I love how it turned out! This could also be mounted in a small shadowbox frame as a decor item. In addition to the fabulous brads, I added two Pastel Rabbit Brads. These are great for Easter. They remind me of candy.

Check out the amazing selection of pearl and jewel brads available at the store.

When Irish Frogs Are Smiling

Sunday is St. Patrick's Day and since I (Lauren) happen to be about 60% Irish, here are a couple of timely cards, all dressed in green, featuring our adorable Eyelet Outlet Frog Brads!

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.

For my second card, just a single Frog Brad, a few purple Heart Enamels, and a strip of Stripe Tape trimmed with some Skinny Glitter Tape.

I hope all of my Irish friends will enjoy a very Happy St. Patrick's Day... but then EVERYBODY is Irish on March 17th! ♥

A Perfect Pair!

TGIF crafty friends! Susie here today with a wedding card featuring the new Playing Cards Stamp set!

When I saw the stamp set I knew immediately that I would create a fun and different wedding card using the "perfect pair" sentiment.

The stamp set works perfectly with the Playing Card Brads. I selected a king and queen card and overlapped them on the front panel of the card, adding a heart jewel to reinforce the love/couple theme.

The front of the card is actually a flap. It is held closed by a 12mm jewel brad.

Since it is placed to just cover the edge of the flap it easily slips out and opens...

... to reveal a perfect spot for writing a personal note and maybe attaching a photo or gift card!

Eyelet Outlet created 16 stamp sets that coordinate beautifully with our most popular brads. Card making has never been easier! You can see all of the new stamp sets HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today! Susie
