A Card That's Mint to Be! 🍦🍨🍧

 
Hey, EO fans! Last week I made a hot grilling card, but this week I'm cooling things off with a sweet ice cream card in yummy mint and strawberry colors. It says, "You're my favorite flavor." I bet you can guess what mine is... Yep! Mint chocolate chip is my ice cream of choice. Yum!

I made this card using a die set from my stash to form the mint chocolate chip ice cream bar. For the chocolate chips, I used a combination of small dark brown circles and the smallest Black Matte Enamel Dots. I topped the bar with an adorable Stitched Flower Brad. Next, I created the oval embellishment with a circle border stamp and a scallop die. It features two yummy Ice Cream Cone Brads in the center. I popped the ice cream embellishment up on foam tape and set it aside.

For a simple yet interesting background, I cut a piece of heavy ivory cardstock and ran it through a 3D embossing folder. I then dabbed some pink ink on the raised areas of the design and splattered some of the same pink ink on top to add a fun speckled look.

To put the card together, I first created an A2-sized card base out of cream cardstock and glued on the embossed mat. I then placed the sentiment strip and my other embellishments, finishing it off with a few more matte black enamel dots for a final touch.

Thanks a Hole Punch!

Here's a quick and easy thank you card that can be changed up in many ways.  I used circles cut with my Cricut instead of punches and on the back layer I added some of Eyelet Outlet's beautiful shimmer floral washi tape.  The pinks and purples in the tape coordinate so nicely with the pink and purple stitched flowers from the Bright Stitched Flower set, so I added some of them here and there between the punched holes.  

This card could easily be changed up with different punch shapes, any of our gorgeous washi tapes and any of our beautiful flower brads!  

 

Somebunny Wishes You a Happy Easter

Eyelet Outlet Brads pair beautifully with all of your smaller critter stamps! For example this sweet bunny is just the right size to be friends with one of our adorable Chick Brads, while the egg stamp from the same set was perfect for creating some colorful eggs from patterned paper scraps, then adorning them with a Pastel Rabbit, a Heart Brad (with stamped carrot!) and a Stitched Flower, as well as some strips of Bunny and Carrot Washi Tape. The background features Wide Sky Washi and Zig Zag Tape.

 

The Eyelet Outlet Online Store has all the embellishments you need, for whatever holidays and occasions you celebrate!

Bonjour Girl

 I decided it was time to head to spring as I already

have perennials peeking out here in the South where

I live. The embellishment choices from Eyelet Outlet
 are perfect for Spring.

I started with the grass washi from Eyelet Outlet
in the background and added the gorgeous rose brads
(they come in multiple colors in each package). I also added
 the purple mini-stitched flowers and then some fabulous pink jewels!

Dragon Birthday Greetings

 

 Hi everyone! I'm here today to share a little magic on a cold winter's day. Isn't this dragon adorable? As soon as I saw the die, I knew that I could really up the cuteness even more by adding some great products from Eyelet Outlet!

This is a top fold, A2 base card in a bright blue. I cut the dragon out of purple and white cardstock and pieced him together. What's super cute about him is that he's made so that his body hangs on a brad so that the body can swing back and forth. Super fun! I embossed the blue mat and highlighted the embossing around the edges with Oxide Ink.

After putting the dragon together, I put a Stitched Flower Brad in his arms. I put a Crown Brad on his head and a couple Fairy Brads that hover around him. That's because every dragon should have some fairies and wear a crown right? The best part was adding Eye Brads to really give him some personality! Finally I added a Happy Birthday Brad. I felt it still needed a little something so I added white dots to the background and white highlights on the dragon.

Flowers and Butterflies

 

This card is a "Z" card. So, I needed

to decorate part of the inside that would also show

as well as the outside. I have been mesmerized by the

beautiful butterfly washi tape that Eyelet Outlet sells.

The colors are so pretty on these butterflies
and they look like watercolor. I used

this washi tape in the inside of the card and also to make 
a frame for the flowers that I matted in black.

The flowers I used are die cuts that I layered and then 
decorated  with a stiched flower brad from Eyelet Outlet
for the center. I used two black pearls on either
side of the sentiment. 

Finally I used the blue strip pearls from Eyelet Outlet
at the bottom of the card and also to
highlight the petals of the flowers.

Merci Bouquet!

Fast, easy Thank You cards are simple when you pair Eyelet Outlet flower brads and washi tapes! Extra wide Sunflower Tape makes for beautiful diecuts and what could be better than Sunflower and Leaf Brads to adorn them? Or, try Coloring Book Washi with Stitched Flower Brads and a sweet Mini Bee to finish the design. 

 The possible Eyelet Outlet Brad and Tape combinations are only limited by your imagination!

never, ever, gets tired of flower brads!

Loving Spring Flowers

 

Finally time to look forward to spring flowers and a more
colorful landscape. This card features an image from Colors of Love
and a die cut from Spellbinders.

Next I watercolored the image and started adding the flower brads
from Eyelet Outlet. I included a small jewel bling or small enamel dot
on each flower's center. Since this is a spring-inspired card I added
the fabulous dragonfly brads fluttering around. 
To finish off the card I added the blue washi tape (glitter) and 
a few more of the pink jewel bling.

The white flowers and the round purple brads are
also from Eyelet Outlet and are listed even though they
are not part of the actual card.

Pretty Floral Thank You

Once in a while I feel like breaking out some lace and flowers and getting all girly. Today is the day! This card features several EO products that make this girly girl card j-u-s-t right!

To start this card, I made an A2 base card. I then cut a background piece out of white cardstock. I placed two strips of Flower Washi Tape - Wide on the piece. The washi tape has a very soft floral pattern with several flowers on top of a script background. On top of that I placed a doily I cut with a pattern from Cricut Design Space. I shaded the edges with Distress Oxide ink. Next came some purple swirl bling at an angle. Then I placed two leaf sprigs and a layered Paper Flower held together with a 12 MM Stippled Brad in Purple. Then I die cut the Thanks sentiment and added a few more leaves before finally adding a purple Stitched Flower - Bright brad.

Happy You're My Friend

Hello everyone! It's Janet here sharing a fun and quick way to use your favorite washi tapes. I know we hear sometimes that people love to buy washi but they don't know what to do with it once it arrives. While we love collecting pretty things, I hope this will give you an idea to use washi tape in a card to create colorful words.

Steps To Create This Card:

1. Cut a 5 x 5 1/4 piece of kraft cardstock.
2. Use dies or your cutting machine to cut four simple words such as Happy that I used here.
3. Cut a slightly smaller piece of white cardstock and apply two strips of washi tape behind each word
4. Glue the white cardstock behind the words. If you want, you can also glue in the centers of the letters such as the P and A. That's totally optional.
5. Choose a sentiment to use. I made mine using the Spellbinders Glimmer machine and silver foil. You can use anything you want. You do you!
6. Choose some brads to embellish the sentiment. I used Stitched Flowers Brads Bright and a Butterfly Bright brad.
7. Cut a piece of gold metallic cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/2. Glue the front panel on top.
8. Wrap twine around the panel three times and tie a bow in the middle.
9. Cut a base card out of white that is 11" x 5 1/4" Fold in half.
10. Use adhesive to glue the finished card front to the base card.

I love the washi tape I used on this card. See below for a linked list of products I used.
