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!

EGG-stravaganza!

 Do you know how many styles there are of Eyelet Outlet Pearl and Jewel Brads? Ok, as a matter of fact, I (Lauren) don't know either, but it's A LOT! They range from quite small (5.5mm) to extra large (16mm) though the biggest one shown here is the 10mm Soft Pink Pearl Brad attaching a few Paper Flowers on the medium sized egg. Meanwhile, many styles are available in both silver and gold bezels; there are smooth and bumpy styles; some have fancy edges... and by the time you factor in all of the different colors, there are literally hundreds of variations! But the most important thing for you to know about EO Pearl and Jewel Brads is that they are ALL on sale for just .75c a pack!!! The second most important thing for you to know is that they are all beautiful and useful. In this case, I've decorated Easter eggs with them:

As you can see, we also have quite a few styles of Sticky-Back Bling, as well. On this card and tag we see individual Pearls (there are Jewels as well), Bling and Pearl Strips, and several styles of Fancy Long Bling, and I've hardly scratched the surface of what is listed under "Bling and Sequins" in the EO Store. By the way, there are also FOUR styles of Eyelet Outlet Washi on this card: Bunny Tape, Chevron, Rainbow Dot Washi and my current fave: a wide, rainbow blossom-bedecked style called Flower Petal Tape, from which I have cut out individual flowers and added them with Pearl Brads to the largest egg. Of course they work for lots of other occasions besides Easter, so you should probably head over to the Eyelet Outlet Shop and browse around for a bit!

Everybunny's HOPPY!

Oddly enough, this Eyelet Outlet Easter card has NO brads on it... HOW is that even possible? Well of course I (Lauren) love our Brown Rabbit Brads and our Pastel Rabbit Brads, but there are also quite a few awesome Bunny Tapes and Rabbit Washi styles, and I've used two of them here:

I applied both styles of tape in neat strips onto plain white cardstock. Then I used two alphabet die sets (Altenew's Bold Alphas and Lawn Fawn's Henry's ABCs) to cut out the sentiment from the colorful Bunny Tape. I fussy cut five sweet little dudes from Wide Rabbit Washi to peep out from the letters of "Hoppy" and added a few pink Heart Enamel accents. I layered the whole design over a couple of strips of Pink Check Tape and called it a day.

Be sure to visit the EO Blog often for more Easter card ideas by our amazing design team!

Happy Easter Bunnies

There are several adorable varieties of Eyelet Outlet bunny brads, including Pastel Rabbits and Chocolate Bunnies but the realistic looking Rabbit Brads might just be my (Lauren) favorite!

I use my nested dies most often to cut perfect circles which I then attach to whatever project I'm making. But it's just as easy to use them to create negative space, like these layered windows which frame up my adorable Rabbit Brads. I punched strips of grass in a couple shades of green for the bunnies to hide behind, then added some Mini Stitched Flowers and a Mini Butterfly to complete the scene. A strip of Pink Bunny Washi Tape dresses up the top layer of my card and a simple typed sentiment finishes it off.

I hope you'll be inspired to use your favorite dies in fun new ways!

Have a Happy --or Hoppy-- Easter (or Both!)

Hi folks it's Lauren here again with a couple more super-easy Easter card ideas for you that combine Eyelet Outlet tape, brads and bling!

My first card features the fastest paper pieced bunny EVER: I've used Skinny Checked tape and punched a one inch circle, a half inch circle and two leaves for ears, assembled them and added a Clear Edge Pink Jewel as a tail. This guy is so cute, I had to let him hop right into my sentiment in place of the "O"!

I formatted the rest of my letters in a fun free font called "La Unica", printed them out about 1.25" tall (perfect for an A2 card) and then used the pattern to cut one set made from plain Bunny Tape and one set from Bunny Tape surrounded by strips of Pink Checked Tape. I decided I liked the latter best with the pieced bunny, so I mounted them on foam tape and used stickers for the rest of my sentiment.

Since I had the Bunny Tape set of letters leftover, I decided to make another card. This time I made a panel with Green Pattern Tape, set on a mat of Pink Checked Tape to hold my sentiment and my bunny mascots are two Rabbit Brads, flanking the word "Easter".

I'm pretty sure EVERYbunny would love to get a fun card for Easter... why not get out your Eyelet Outlet tape and brads to make your own masterpieces?

Never Leave Two Bunny Cards Alone On Your Blog...

...because when you come back, there'll be *three* bunny cards! See?

Hi guys, it's Lauren here with a trio of Easter cards I hope EVERYBUNNY will love! Card one features my favorite new Bunny Tape, which I love because it's got loads of fun spring colors. I accented the purple on this card with a few strips of Skinny Glitter Purple Tape. A pair of purple Paper Flowers holds a couple of adorable Rabbit Brads who are wishing us a happy holiday via an Easter Bubble Brad.

My second card uses the same Bunny Tape, but this time instead of covering the whole panel, I've alternated strips with Pink Checked Tape, Skinny Pink Washi and Skinny Green Washi. I've stacked one pink and one white Paper Flower to make a little spot for two Pastel Rabbit Brads and another Easter Bubble.

My third card is a bit of a cheat, because that beautiful Rabbit Wide Washi Tape is exclusive to the Eyelet Outlet Booth and isn't available through the online store! Which gives you all the more reason to check out the Trade Show List on the right sidebar, so you can be sure to know when Eyelet Outlet is coming to your town! I've added a few strips of Skinny Green Tape and this time a pair of Chocolate Bunnies is talking through an Easter Bubble, on top of a few white Paper Flowers.

There are even more cool Easter brads and tapes in the online store and in the EO booth... I'm positive you can find YOUR favorites!

a very Happy Easter!

Easter Bunny Basket

Happy Tuesday, Barbara here with a super cute Easter basket that is quick and easy. I followed a tutorial from Split Coast Stampers, the video was very easy to follow step by step. This basket is for my will be for my great grandson who will be 8 by Easter.

It is 1 1/2 inches deep 1 1/2 inches wide and about 5 inches long, just big enough for the golden bunny from Lindt and a few foil eggs.

I just had to use some more of those adorable chocolate bunny brands from Eyelet Outlet.  

I used a bunny brad on each end to secure the handle, I die cut some grass and attached it around the whole basket and secured it with the most adorable bunny washi tape from the Eyelet outlet. I'm sure I could make a lot of baskets with the amount of washi tape on that roll. 

Here is the picture of the handle of the basket, I used more bunny washi tape on it. I love that the polka dot pattern shows through.
