Journal cards are a fantastic shortcut for cardmakers and Eyelet Outlet Brads make them even more beautiful. This card has twelve brads from six different sets... can you spot them all? (Hint: there are examples below the card to help you!) Check out the Handy Shopping List, below, to see if you're right.
This card is a perfect way to tell a Mom that she's loved. I hope that you have a great day, whether you are a Mom, a grandmother, a caregiver, a friend, an Aunt, or anyone who provides love and support to others. Today is your day!
Eyelet Outlet Rabbit Brads, Colored Eggs and Mini Butterflies turn sweet stamps into an adorable Easter card that's sure to make some-BUNNY's day when it arrives in their mailbox!
Happy Mother's Day, everyone! I hope all the wonderful moms are being showered with love and attention today – you deserve it all!
To celebrate, I wanted to create a card with a bit of fun and a whole lot of heart. Imagine a little gathering on a brick wall (thanks to the fantastic Brick Washi Tape!), all set against a sunny Wide Sky Washi Tape background.
Above this adorable scene, little word bubbles of thanks float in the air – stamped and carefully cut out. And right there on the wall, a festive Mother's Day Banner proudly proclaims the occasion.
But the real magic comes from the five little critters lined up on the wall, each one a tiny messenger of love for Mom! The Polar Bear, Feline, Chicken, Acorn & Squirrel, and Rabbit Brads each have their own charm. To top it all off, I added two Sticky Back Pink Heart Pearls to the banner for an extra touch of sweetness.
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms! May your day be filled with joy and love.

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.

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.
Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you next week but until then please visit the EO store for all your brads, washi tape, bling and paper flowers!
It's the week before Easter, and here's a card featuring Eyelet Outlet Rabbit Brads and adorable Rabbit Tape; Colored Daisy Brads, a Mini Bee, Floral Square Washi and Wood Tape.
Spring is coming and my card today looks forward to green grass and warmer days. For this card, I designed a scene with Cricut Design Space to include a bare tree, clouds, the Hello sentiment and the friend banner. Before adding these items, I prepared the background with a stencil and blue inks. I added clouds, a heat embossed banner, and Grass Washi Tape. Then I placed all the other items and added a Colored Daisy Brad, Butterfly Brads, a Bluebird Brad, and Rabbit Brads. Once done, I added faux white stitches on the sentiment and blue dots to highlight the clouds behind the tree. I like the pops of bright colors here and there in the card.
...Easter's on its way! And since Easter wouldn't be much fun without bunnies, luckily there are Eyelet Outlet Rabbi Brads, Pastel Rabbit Brads (they're on sale!) and Rabbit Tape; not to mention White Daisy Brads and Cloud Tape, which pair really well with all of the above.
Here's a card that's captured, in action, a couple of the Easter Bunny's helpers (aka Eyelet Outlet Rabbit Brads) hiding the Egg Brads for Sunday's upcoming festivities! They've got a lovely day for it too, thanks to some beautiful extra-wide Sky Tape, a Sun and Cloud Brad and a background made from Flower Washi.
...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.
Isn't it fun looking back at the Eyelet Outlet Design team's favorite Valentine cards and projects? I (Lauren) had a good time scrolling through my cards from the last few years and I *love* seeing what the rest of the team have picked, as well!
I've used the same diabolical pun three different ways for my Hoppy Hoppy Hoppy trio from February of 2020; with Rabbit and Heart Brads and some Tiny Hearts Tape; with Frog Brads with Heart Pearls on a background of Cloud Tape; and finally Beer Brads and Beer Tape with some yellow Heart Enamels.
Last year's Valentine's Breakfast is another trio... (what can I say, I like making sets) ...this time pairing a punny breakfast stamp set with our Bacon Egg and Toast Brads as well as the waffles from our Chicken and Waffles Set (also on sale!) and more Heart Pearls.
I hope you'll take a little time to scroll around and see ALL the Valentine and Love favorites from our wonderful Eyelet Outlet Design Team!
Even if you have LOTS of patterned paper... (and I, Lauren, do!) ...sometimes you still don't have exactly what you want for a particular card. In this case, I wanted a text paper that said "Happy Easter" so I typed it myself! It's the perfect home for my Eyelet Outlet Rabbit Brads, whom I've given a little landscape to inhabit, by adding a Sun and Cloud Brad and a Mini Butterfly, as well as some punched grass and an oversized diecut tulip to frame up the whole thing.
This week I wish you a Happy Passover or Happy Easter, if you are celebrating; or just an extra nice second week of Spring!
...Feed a Bunny!" is yet another sentiment that I (Lauren) saw on a t-shirt, and immediately had an entire card idea, featuring my Eyelet Outlet Rabbits and some other garden-related brads. Since it was just before Valentine's Day, and I had heart-y cards that made more sense, I sketched it on a piece of scrap paper and set it aside. I'll show you that sketch in a minute, but first, let's see the card:
My diecut circles are cut from a piece of watercolor paper on which I had painted green grass and blue sky and then... for some reason... abandoned. I adhered a piece of picket fence diecut to the largest (2") circle and added the Rabbit Brads and a Heart. The upper of my two 1.5" circles holds a Sun and Cloud Brad as well as a rainbow from the Unicorn and Rainbow set; the lower has a Gnome Brad (they're on sale!); a trowel from the Garden Tools set and a Mini Butterfly, which I hadn't realized was discontinued, but you could swap a full-sized Butterfly, or a Mini Bee. The two 1" circles feature a Sunflower and Mini Ladybug; and the carrot and broccoli from the Vegetable Brad Set (which is also on sale) respectively.
With a change of sentiment, this design could easily translate into an Easter card, a fun birthday greeting for a gardener, or maybe even an anniversary card? That's the great thing about creativity, when you plant an idea, you never know what you might harvest later!
Halloween is next week and I just had to sneak in one more Halloween card!
The Eyelet Outlet Spooky Bats are flying above while the Pumpkin Brads adorn the walkway covered in Brick Washi Tape. The Monster, Witch, and Ghost (stamps by Recollections) scare the animals (Rabbit, Sheep & Pigs, and Horse & Pony Brads) as they move on to their next trick-or-treat destination.
The Eyelet Outlet brads, washi and bling make it easy to create a scene card. Go ahead and give it a try! Take a moment to check out these brads on the website and don't forget the idea gallery and the Eyelet Outlet Fan Page on Facebook. Show us your creations!
Be Safe. Be Well. Happy Crafting!
