Hey everyone! It's almost spring and this little cutie wants to remind you that it's right around the corner. I don't know about you, but I certainly am dreaming of warm spring days, flowers and yes - butterflies and ladybugs!

Sending smiles across the miles
Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing an adorable 'missing you' card that sure reminded me of growing up in a rural area and being the only vehicle on the road sometimes for miles and miles! This card features an assortment of very cool washi tape and brads!
I created a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Solar White and then cut a panel on which I built my washi tape scene. I applied a strip of Sky Washi Tape - Wide first, then worked my way up from the bottom with two strips of Grass Washi Tape and a strip of Road Washi Tape. I added the little Red Truck Brad and the Summer Tree Brads. The final step was stamping the birds and sentiment in black ink.
Thanks so much for stopping by today - we'll see you next time!

I Miss You PIG Time!
Hello friends. On today's card, I am featuring the ever-so-cute pigs from the Pig and Sheep brad set. These little pigs are so detailed. I'm always amazed how much detail can be packed into a brad like this and both the pigs and the sheep don't disappoint.
I kept this simple and used a purchased patterned A2 card base. I layered a piece of paper lace with a strip of Skinny Glitter Washi Tape. On top of that I placed a lacy die cut glitter heart. I heat embossed the sentiment in black and cut it using a lacy circle die. I glued the heart and circle in place on the top of the lace border and then added my pigs, heart enamel brad and pearl bling. Uber adorable!
Thanks for joining me today. I'll see you next week!

Keep on Trucking in Chicken Lingo!
I cut an ivory A2 size top-folding card base and rounded the bottom right corner to add some interest. I printed some digital chicken wire on ivory cardstock and trimmed the panel with the wire at the bottom. I added a strip of yellow cardstock to separate the wire from the white space. I stamped the sentiment in black ink, added three Chicken Brads and layered the panel on yellow cardstock. I adhered the piece to the card base and added some White Pearl Bling to the yellow strip along with a few tiny pearls from a White Pearl Bling Strip to the background. I colored the bling with an alcohol marker to match the chickens.
Thanks so much for stopping by - we'll see you next time!

Would this be a good time to show of the next five pages (and six letters!) of the Eyelet Outlet Alphabetical Brad Book? Oh and I (Lauren) have made a cover for it too, but more about that in a minute. Meanwhile, here's Part Two:

I Like the Way You Roll!
Today I have a fun card that plays on the toilet paper theme again. I don't know why but I can't get enough of these adorable toilet paper rolls with the cute little quilting in them. They're just so cute!
This card starts with a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white cardstock. I applied EO's Flower Washi Tape - Wide at an angle and folded over the tape overhange on the back of the cardstock. Then I applied strips of skinny washi to hide the seams from the Skinny Heart Washi set. This comes in several colors in a set from the store. It is pretty and delicate with foil hearts and scrolling. Then I coated the chipboard letters with chalk paint and applied them on top of the panel leaving room at the top for the black heat embossed sentiment. I applied a short piece of Jewel Bling Strip in pink next to the sentiment and set the two Toilet Paper Brads. I matted the panel on black cardstock and then applied the whole panel on a pink A2 sized cardbase.
This card may be about toilet paper but the large photo-real flowers are a nice change of pace as we start dreaming about spring. I just felt so good working with this tape! And bonus! This one goes together fast.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Time for some Spring pastels!
Hello, Eyelet Outlet fans! I hope you've had a great week! Leslie here sharing a pretty friendship card with a Spring theme! I thought we'd deviate from COVID for a minute and create something a little different. I am totally in love with these flowers that I embellished with clear bling and I couldn't wait to use them!
I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base along with a strip from white cardstock. I layered the strip on a piece of green cardstock and adhered three negative-space circles layered on pink cardstock that were leftovers from a project I created several months ago. These circles were so pretty I couldn't throw them away, so I left them out on my desk until I found a use for them. And voila, here we are! ;) I adhered an Epoxy Flower to the center of each circle and then a Clear Jewel to the center of each flower. I stamped the sentiment in purple ink in the lower right corner to finish the card front.
For the inside, I cut a narrow strip of white cardstock and layered it on another piece of green cardstock, then added a strip of Purple Check Washi Strip. I adhered the layered strip to the left side of the inside panel, stamped the sentiment in purple ink, and layered the panel on green cardstock.

CARDiologist
I had made this card several months ago, before Eyelet Outlet introduced the face mask brads. It was in my stash and I had forgotten all about it until last week when I was in need of a get well card for my wonderful husband who was in the hospital for a couple of days. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to add the face mask brad to it and I'm glad to report that my hubby is doing much better now! Was it the visit from the "CARDiologist" or the antibiotics? I'll let you decide!

An EGG-cellent Easter
Easter cards are an excellent place for puns! If you go with someBUNNY, anyBUNNY or everyBUNNY you can bring in Rabbit Brads or Pastel Rabbits. On the other hand, if you switch over to Chick Brads and bring in Colored Eggs (or ordinary Egg Brads, for that matter) that gets you even more EGG-citing, EGG-stra special, EGG-cellence, like this card! To make it into a little landscape, I've added a Sun and Cloud Brad as well as some Mini Stitched Flowers, tucked behind layers of punched grass.

29 AGAIN?!
As I get older, birthdays become a little more of a sore subject. For years I used the line that I was 29 again when someone asked my age. This shaker card makes fun of those of us who want to celebrate our birthdays but don't really want to get into the details of the exact number. I'm not quite as old as this young lady but some days I sorta feel this old!
This was a fun project. As usual, the Eyelet Outlet products take it up a notch. You can find all the details on how to make this on my personal blog.

Yep, let's stay classy through this!
I created a standard A2 size top-folding card base from black cardstock. The computer-generated front and inside sentiments were printed on white cardstock and the panels trimmed. I stamped 'stay classy' in black ink at an angle above the front sentiment. I added a strip of Gold Glitter Skinny Washi Tape and Pink Fancy Long Bling-Pearls and Jewels vertically down the left side, added two Toilet Paper Brads just to the left of the sentiment, and adhered the panel to the card base. The finishing touch was the addition of several single pearls from a White Pearl Bling Strip.
I embellished the inside panel with a single strip of the Gold Glitter Skinny Washi Tape and adhered it to the inside of the card base.
