Nothing says, "Happy Valentine's Day" quite as well as a classic bouquet of red roses. Unlike a real bouquet, Eyelet Outlet Rose Brads will last forever... and are much easier to fit into an envelope! A sweet Mini Ladybug Brad has arrived to investigate.
Eyelet Outlet Gnome Brads and Girl Gnome Brads are the perfect couple for Valentines, Anniversary cards or any other happy occasion you can imagine. This punny compound sentiment is stamped, with the key word of "Gnome" in letters diecut from Gnome Mushroom Butterfly Washi. Bright Fresh Flowers, Hearts and Mini Butterfly Brads complete this happy little scene.

Nothing puts more HAPPY into "Happy Valentine's Day" than a bunch of Eyelet Outlet Hippo Brads dancing joyously across a card! Some pink Heart Brads and a mat of Pink Dot Washi Tape add a touch of seasonal color to the design.
Don't FROG-et to wish your besties a very HOPPY Valentine's Day! The Eyelet Outlet Frog Brad Set has frogs, cattails and two colors of water lilies; pair them with Cloud Tape and Grass Washi and it's easy to make a scene... in a good way, lol!
There's only a few more days until Valentine's Day! It's hard to believe. It always comes and goes faster than any of the other holidays to me.
To celebrate, I have a cute little bunny with an apron full of items and a cute mailbox stuffed with gifts and goodies. To make this one, I glued a piece of sky patterned paper on a white A2 card. Then I cut two pieces of grass out and layered them below the sky. I stamped and colored the bunny and the mailbox and glued them in place. Then I attached all the fun brads that makes this have such a great 3D presence. It's so much better than the little images that came with the stamp set. Brads add shine and dimension that just can't be replicated any other way.
Remember that a card like this could be tweaked a little to make it perfect for Easter also. Just add a few egg brads, a chick brad or two, and change the sentiment and you've got a great Easter themed card. And speaking of Easter, I better get busy on those cards next!
Hello everyone! I'm here today with a card that's another good one for Valentine's Day. It could also work as a message of encouragement.
I started with an A2 card base that is printed with diagonal gray lines. I lined the edges of the card with Weather Washi Tape. It features clouds with rain coming down. I put it down so that the rain drops on the tape peak through on the edges but since it's a white tape, the gray lines still show through too. I like the two looks merged together.
I cut out the top part of the card which resembles a cloud and layered it on top of a pastel alcohol ink background I had created a while ago. I stamped and cut out a rain shape for the middle in dark blue cardstock. I drew in more rain lines on the alcohol ink background with a paint pen and placed Pink and Red Heart Peals at the end to represent love drops. I glued the dark blue piece in place and then attached blue and clear Tear Drop Bling for the water drops. These are so pretty and are perfect to represent raindrops.
Last I stamped the sentiment and colored the word LOVE with Copic markers and a white gel pen. Then I cut it out in the shape of a large cloud and glued it to the top of the card. The finished panel was then glued on top of the card base so that the edges with the washi tape peak through.
I started by applying a strip of some of the prettiest washi tape I've ever seen on a white mat sized at 4" x 5 1/4". It's called Rose Washi Tape and it's very wide at just short of 1 1/4". It creates a beautiful border at the top and bottom. Centered between the washi tape, I glued in a strip of 4" x 1 1/4" pink cardstock. Then I placed a strip of Love Washi Tape so that it slightly overlapped both the rose washi tape and the pink cardstock. To add additional glam, I used gold spray on the panel. The washi tape tends to repel the spray so I dabbed the excess and let it dry. Then I got to work on the gold wax seal. After melting the seal, I sprinkled Pink Heart Sequins on the center and pressed it with a flat circle stamp head. It isn't the neatest circle but I think the unusual shape actually looks great inside the White Paper Flower.
To finish the card, I wrapped gold thread across the center of the pink panel and glued the Flower in the center. Last, I added White Pearl Bling around the flower. The finished panel was then adhered to a gold A2 card base.
