Eyelet Outlet Tulip Brads look bloomin' beautiful wherever you use them. On this card they're planted in front of quite a fancy greenhouse, where they're attracted the attention of three curious Dragonfly Brads.

Mother's Day is this Sunday in the USA, so here is a fast and simple card idea featuring a colorful bouquet Eyelet Outlet Tulip Brads with embroidered stems, surrounded by some sweet Mini Butterfly Brads.
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.

I stamped and colored these little images with pencils. Then I drew in stems to add Tulip and Rose Brads to the vases. At the base of each image, I added either a White Daisy Brad or Fresh Flower-Bright Brads. Finally, I added an adhesive clear Jewel to each of them
I adore these little cards that can be used for so many different occasions. From saying I'm thinking of you, I care, hello, thank you, get well, etc. these cards work with charm and grace.

Hello EO friends! I was tasked by our Sunday School teacher to come up with a treat box for the kids on Easter Sunday morning. This is what I created as my first box. It's a box pattern from Cricut Design Space. It's made to fit a Kinder Egg.
I knew the newest release brads from the store would be great on the box. I decorated the simple box with the new Tulip Brads, Yellow Rose Brads, and Mini Butterfly Brads. They make the box so cheerful and the metal brads add a special touch to it.
The bow on the box was also made with washi tape from the store. I covered both sides of white cardstock before cutting out the bow pieces. The technique allows me to create a bow with a pattern I didn't have in an actual ribbon or cardstock. I love how that worked out. Just know if you try this, you'll need some glue dots or strong double-sided adhesive to put it together. Wet glue will work but takes forever to dry since the washi tape is coated.

Keep your eyes peeled for additional cards using the new spring brad release. If you want to get the full story, just visit the most recent blog posts from the team.

The new Eyelet Outlet Tulip Brads are as bright and beautiful as Spring itself. Here they are growing tall on diecut stems against a landscape made of Wide Sky Washi and Grass Tape. A Butterfly Brad, a Mini Ladybug and some (new!) Mini Butterflies are all enthralled by these lovely blooms.

Well, we're in mid-March, the time has changed, March Madness is starting soon, and it's getting a little warmer where I live. A few daffodils are blooming and the trees are starting to form buds. Whew! We're getting close to moving into full blown spring. Thank goodness!
Today I've made a 5 x 7 card to welcome the new season. I have used the new Tulip Brads as part of the banner on the balloon and the new Mini Butterflies trim the top of the balloon. I added the pretty Yellow Roses Brads on the basket. They really dress the balloon up a lot! I added Daisy Brads to adorn the banner. I also used Green Pattern Washi Tape to mat the card in a perfect green scroll design. Finally I added three blue jewels to the bottom of the balloon. I should also mention that this balloon pattern came from an image in Cricut Design Space.

Hello and happy Sunday! On the first day of a new week, I present a sweet bunny full of color and texture. This is a mandala style bunny made with six layers of cardstock stacked on top of each other. It was cut from a Cricut Design Space file.
While this is pretty, I thought that Eyelet Outlet's new Tulip Brads and Yellow Rose Brads would be beautiful as accents. I hope you agree they do take this bunny to the next level. Since this is a pretty thick piece, I used wire cutters to remove the brad prongs and applied them with hot glue. Sometimes I do this when it's not as practical to install them normally.
I used four new Tulip Brads at the tips of his ears and below his head. I used three new Yellow Rose Brads at his tail, in the middle of the flower on his body and his eye. I think these are fanciful accents that enhance this non-traditional project.
I also applied jewel bling and teardrop bling in several complementary colors on this rabbit. It adds a touch of shine and also complements the many different cardstock colors that were used.
While I could have converted this to a shaped card, it's big at over 8" tall. I opted instead to make an easel back and this guy is going to decorate my desk at work through Easter. I know I'm going to get many compliments on it!
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!
