Merci Bouquet Triple Play

It's probably impossible to have too many Birthday or Thank You greetings on hand, so whenever I (Lauren) think of a fun idea, I like to make multiple versions. Since there are plenty of different Eyelet Outlet Flower Brad styles, when I thought of "Merci Bouquet" I was spoiled for choice!

I used the same Wood Washi and Mini Ladybug Brads in all three versions, but changed up the patterned paper backgrounds to match the flower styles. For my first card I made a bouquet of Colored Daisy Brads.

My second card features our classic Bright Daisy Flower Brads, which are on sale!

My third card combines Fall Stitched Flower Brads (they come in Minis and Brights, too!) with petals cut from a green Solid Color Paper Flower to act as foliage.

Check out all of the Flower Brad styles, not to mention the Flower Tapes, in the Eyelet Outlet Online Store!

March Pocket Page (And A Card)

Happy weekend, and welcome to Saturday!!  This is Rebecca, and I have two projects to show today.

Are you currently living through rapids season cycling like we are? We've seen rain, snow, ice, warm sun, cold sun, and every combination in between, all within the last week.  Yesterday was bright and chilly. Today? Freezing rain. How do I forget this unpredictable weather every year?!

I am working on some scrapbook catch up, and I decided to do a page for this time last year. It was a reminder that the sunshine and warmer days WILL eventually come!



You'll find a little Eyelet Outlet in each piece of this quick, spring pocket page. I am in love with this roll of flower washi, and I tried to use it in multiple spots around the page. Filled in with a few other brads, Quicklets and enamel dots....easy peasy!



My favorite is in the top right picture above. I put pieces of washi on some scrap white cardstock and then cut the numbers (1, 2 and 3) out of the flower washi. I love how easy it was to coordinate the pieces in each pocket with just a few moments and scraps.



Bonus, I used some of that same flower washi (and some leftover swirly bling) for a springy hello card, too.

May your sunshine get warmer and more springy each day!!

Birthday Blossoms

Is it just me (Lauren) or do you think that nearly everybody would secretly like to have a teeny, tiny, non-embarrassing fuss made on or around their birthday? That's one of the reasons why I love to make special cards for my friends and family. It's a GREAT excuse to break out some of the many cool styles of Eyelet Outlet Flower Brads, as well.

On this card I've used Fresh Flower Brights, Mini Stitched Flower Brads and... I've invented my very own NEW type of flower brad by adding Pink Enamel Dots to the centers of some suns from the Sun and Cloud Brad set, see?

I've scattered the different sized and shaped brads on top of some awfully pretty stamped flowers from a set called "Bold Blooms" by Pretty Pink Posh. Once I had all of the Flower Brads arranged, I went back and added even more texture and interest by giving some of the stamped flowers tiny Pearl Bling centers or Matte Enamel Dots. Finally I added a diecut sentiment with a tiny Mini Butterfly Brad to dot the "I" in "birthday".

I hope you are having a happy and colorful day, but if not... why not add some beautiful Flower Brads to your life! ♥

loves the fact that Flower Brads are allergy friendly 

...and...

you NEVER have to weed them!
