Rejoice

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.

He Lives!

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.

Hello and happy Easter Sunday! In celebration of all the traditions of spring and Easter, I have made an envelope box card that contains a little girl with her Easter bunny. I have decorated it with many flower brads, colored egg brads, grass washi, sun & cloud brads and cut jewels. 

I combined Rose Brads, Daisy Brads, and bright Fresh Flowers on the front to create a spray of pretty flowers. Rose brads decorate the corners too. You can almost smell them!

Happy Spring!

Technically, it's still a few weeks before Spring begins, but... it's NEVER too early to start daydreaming about warm weather and flowers, right? This journal card already had some printed chicks and eggs, but there was still room for Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads, Colored Eggs and White Daisies. Pink Dot Washi Tape sets off the large and small sentiments for extra impact.

Check out the Eyelet Outlet Online Store for all the EGG-cellent brads, tapes, paper flowers and embellishments you need for every occasion from Spring to Easter to birthdays and beyond!

Have An Eggs-tra Special Easter!

 It's always fun to create farm scenes and in this case I have used it to create an Easter card. I created this Easter farm scene using Cricut Design Space and a chicken coop .svg pattern I had in my library. The grass and fence are patterns available from Cricut.

This is a 5" square top-fold card. Once I made the scene with cardstock, I added Colored Daisy Brads, Colored Egg Brads, Chick Brads, and Chicken Brads. I added an "eggs-tra special" sentiment to finish it. This will be fun to pop in the mail to my Mom who always enjoys cards depicting the farm life she loves.

Happy Easter!

 Happy Easter Sunday everyone! Today I'm celebrating Easter with an egg shaped card. I cut the shaped card using a Cricut pattern. I cut a smaller egg shape out of marbleized cardstock and proceeded to decorate it. 

I cut the phrase out of gold foil cardstock and glued it to the front. I added Eyelet Outlet embellishments to reflect the Easter theme.

Hey, Chickie!

 The Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads are having an EGG-cellent adventure under Sunny skies, on a lawn made of wide Grass Washi used both flat and as a diecut border... the better for hiding Colored Egg Brads.

Be sure to scroll around the EO Blog to see all of the inspirational Easter and Spring cards and projects our fabulous design team have made with their Eyelet Outlet goodies!

Hippity Hoppity...

...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.

Stay tuned for more Easter ideas from the design team, right here on the Eyelet Outlet Blog!

Easter is just around the corner. Next to Christmas cards, Easter is the next big card holiday for me. After a long hard winter, spring Easter cards are so much fun to make. They're hopeful and cheerful. It always makes me feel lighter when I make Easter and spring cards.

I made this card using an .svg pattern from Cricut Design Space. The image is called Happy Easter #M1479296E. This image is already a great card front but it is made even more awesome with brads and pearl bling from the store. It's so quick and easy to make a card go from good to great with help from Eyelet Outlet.

SHOPPING LIST:

Rabbits Brads - Pastel

Colored Egg Brads

Dragonfly Brads

Multi Pearls - Black, Purple, Blue, Pink and Green

Thanks for stopping by today. If you are thinking about making your Easter cards this year, be sure to stop by the store to pick up all your card making accessories and bling!

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.

For an even faster background, you can always grab Easter Egg Tape, Egg Washi, or one of our Rabbit Washi or Bunny Tape varieties in the Eyelet Outlet Store!

Lauren Bergold

can never resist a pun!

It's an EGG-stravaganza!

Easter is only a few days away but I (Lauren) couldn't resist making one more special card with my leftover Eyelet Outlet Easter goodies!

I still had plenty of the adorable Chick Brads, but only three Colored Eggs. So i decided to "make a scene" lol, in the literal sense. I've got Cloud Washi and a Sun and Cloud Brad for sky; and punched two levels of patterned paper grass, so I could raise one on foam tape to "hide" the eggs. I scattered a couple of Mini Stitched Flower Brads in there too, for extra interest.

Wishing the happiest of Easters to everyone who is celebrating! ♥

Lauren Bergold

has entirely resisted Easter candy...

so far... :)

Happy, Hoppy, Easter

Easter is hopping our way pretty quickly, but there's still time to make a few cards for somebunny special! And of course Eyelet Outlet has all the brads, tape, bling and sequins you could possibly need. I (Lauren) am not the best engineer in the world, but I couldn't resist making a fun Easter shaker card:

This might be the deepest shaker card of all time, it can very nearly qualify as a diorama, lol! I was trying to make a little scene for the adorable Rabbit Brads to inhabit, and of course I had to hide some Colored Eggs in the tall grass; so somehow the layers just kept increasing. Plus it was a beautiful day so I needed Sun and Cloud Brads. Then obviously it wouldn't be a shaker card without some lovely pale blue Sequins to match the sky!

Hop on over to the Eyelet Outlet Store where there are lots more Easter treats, like Chicks, Pastel Rabbits, Chocolate Bunny Brads and did I mention the Washi Tape...? ;)

Chick or Treat

Everyone wants to meet some cute chicks, especially at Eastertime, right? So I (Lauren) am happy to introduce you to our brand new, totally adorable, Eyelet Outlet Chick Brads!

I can never resist a diabolical pun, so as soon as I paired the Chicks with the Colored Eggs I knew what the sentiment had to be! I also added a plain white Egg Brad to which I gave a substantial "crack" with permanent marker, a Mini Stitched Flower Brad and a Heart Enamel. To make a fun coordinating background I neatly lined up strips of Pink and Green ZigZag Tape on some plain white cardstock, then trimmed it to size like any other patterned paper.

Of course, not everyone celebrates Easter, but that doesn't mean they have to miss out on colorful cardmaking fun. For my second card I added more Chicks and Colored Eggs to a journal card with the perfect sentiment, and to turn it into a little scene I punched some grass and affixed Sun and Cloud Brads to the top corner. A small Pink Pearl to dot the "i" finishes the whole thing off nicely.

No matter what holidays you're looking forward to this Spring, I bet Eyelet Outlet has Brads and Tape that will help make your cards EGG-stra special! :)

Friend to Friend

Chick out these new CHICK BRADS!  They are delightful...

and work well with our barn yard animal brads.

Here I created an Easter Basket with the Apples Stamp set, bling strips,

and Colored Egg Brads. Mini Butterfly brads and glitter washi tape make a sweet back drop!

Happy Easter

It's a wet and chilly day here in Central Texas, but Spring is in the air at Eyelet Outlet!  We have some of the prettiest Spring washi tapes and fabulous Spring themed brads you will find anywhere and today I'll be showing you just a few.

I started out with this cute "Easter" border from Cricut's "Celebrate All Year Long," image set, not really knowing what I'd use as a background paper.  I tried a number of different colors and patterns, but then I spied this gorgeous wide floral washi tape on my craft table and knew it would be perfect peeking out from behind the Easter eggs.

What's Easter without some chocolate bunnies?  Our little chocolate bunny brads are so cute alongside our Easter egg brads, don't you think?

See you next week!  Until then, keep on crafting!

Hippity Hoppity...

...Easter's on it's way! But there's still plenty of time to make cards, and plenty of Eyelet Outlet Brads to make them extra special! Here's my (Lauren's) first Easter card of 2020:

My card features Rabbit Brads, Colored Egg Brads, Stitched Flower Brads with Mini Leaves, Sun and Cloud Brads, plus a couple of Mini Butterflies. But there are many more varieties, including Easter Bubble Brads, Chocolate Bunnies, Pastel Rabbits (currently on sale!), un-dyed Egg Brads, and even Bacon, Egg and Toast Brads which aren't very Eastery but go nicely with the Eggs! Something super-cute which might emerge from an egg is an adorable tiny Chick Brad... coming soon to the EO Store!

There's something for everyBUNNY at Eyelet Outlet! ♥

Hippity, Hoppity...

...Happy (almost) Easter Daaaaaaaay! Hi folks, it's Lauren here again, wishing you a very happy holiday if you're celebrating. Or just an especially nice weekend if you are not. Either way, why not treat yourself to a chocolate bunny... or at least... some Eyelet Outlet Chocolate Bunny Brads?

I've heard that some people don't actually enjoy chocolate?! So luckily we also have realistic looking Rabbit Brads and super cute Pastel Rabbits as well. Of course all bunnies love Carrots so I've grabbed a few out of the Vegetable Brad set. And Easter wouldn't be the same without beautiful Colored Eggs, but we've also got plain (white and tan) Egg Brads, should you need some. (And there are fried eggs in the Breakfast Brad set, too!)

My second card is an all-occasion greeting, but it's in pretty Spring colors, so I thought I'd post it here too. This one features my favorite Hugs and Kisses Tape plus some Skinny Washi and Pastel Hearts Enamels.

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!!!
