Washi Easter Egg

 

Make an Easter egg with washi tape. It is so easy.
 I loved sorting through all the
wonderful washi tape that I have from Eyelet Outlet.
There are all kinds ranging from glitter to cute prints.

I die cut an egg and starting taping different rows.
Then I added some small cut flowers I had and 
added the Spring pastel brads to them. 

I added a center piece of purple paper also adorned with more
washi tape. Finally I added two pastel bunny brads.

Here is your shopping list to Eyelet Outlet

Hippity Hoppity...

 ...Easter's on its way! And since Easter wouldn't be much fun without bunnies, luckily there are Eyelet Outlet Rabbi Brads, Pastel Rabbit Brads (they're on sale!) and Rabbit Tape; not to mention White Daisy Brads and Cloud Tape, which pair really well with all of the above.

Whether you're celebrating Easter, Passover, or just the arrival of Spring, I hope this first week of April will bring you sunshine, creativity and maybe a treat or two!

Hop To It!

 It's time to hop to it! Easter is almost here. This card includes two of my most favorite things - tags and a shaker. I used several Eyelet Outlet products on this one. Here's the list:

Products

Easter Bubble Brad

Rabbit Brad - Pastel

Colored Egg Brad

Pig & Sheep Brads

White Daisy Brads

Butterfly Brads - Bright

All the brads I used compliment each other and the colors work so well together with my background paper and tags. I look forward to giving this to someone special. What are you making for Easter this year?

Pearl & Jewel Brad Sale Continues - and an Easter Card Idea

 

Eyelet Outlet probably has the largest and biggest variety of pearl and jewel brads at their store. It's been a staple for years. To celebrate, they are doing a 75% off sale on them which brings the pack price down to .75 cents for a limited time!

My card is inspired by those that use broken and old jewelry to make pretty framed pictures, usually on a velvet background. In this case, I added many colors and styles of brads to a paper egg shape to create a bejeweled egg. I love how it turned out! This could also be mounted in a small shadowbox frame as a decor item. In addition to the fabulous brads, I added two Pastel Rabbit Brads. These are great for Easter. They remind me of candy.

Check out the amazing selection of pearl and jewel brads available at the store.

Hoppy Easter, Everybunny!

Eyelet Outlet Pastel Rabbit Brads are one of my (Lauren's) favorite styles for Easter, and... they're on sale! I love how the five colorful bunnies add instant interest to my card, and how well they pair with the shades of EO Bright Stitched Flowers and Minis (the latter are also on sale!) Heart Brads and colorful Enamel Dots.

I used two sizes of circle punches to frame each Rabbit Brad with a few flowers, dots and hearts; but this design would work equally well with Chicks, Brown Rabbits, Colored Eggs, or pretty much ANY Eyelet Outlet brad style you love!

Lauren Bergold's

Zittner's Butter Krak Eggs

(oddly named but delicious!)

The calendar says April first, but we are getting SERIOUSLY cute over here, thanks to the Eyelet Outlet Pastel Rabbits and Bright Stitched Flower Brads! ♥

Inchies are always a fun way to showcase small items like brads, and making a grid of inchies is a nice way to fill a card. I used a 1" and a 1.5" square punch on lots of little paper scraps in shades that coordinate with the adorable Pastel Rabbits. But before I got to that point, I did a fast mock up to pair the Bunnies with the Stitched Flowers so that there were no repeats next to each other, then I snapped a pic with my phone so I would remember!

I left the last two (or perhaps the first two?) squares of the grid empty, so there would be a place to put my sentiment. After I attached all the Bunny Inchies with foam tape, I embellished with some tiny Pearl Bling and mounted the whole thing on a white 6" square card.

I hope you'll hop over to the Eyelet Outlet Store and check out all of the fab Easter goodies!

Hello Spring!

Today's card entitled Hello Spring is a representation of the season to come!  We've had a mild, dreary winter this year, but that doesn't mean that we aren't looking forward to the blue skies and sunshine, so here's a preview!

We have another month or so of winter, but Eyelet Outlet's birds, mini ladybugs, mini ants, brown rabbits, and pastel rabbits are ready to create a scene welcoming Spring.   This note card is versatile and may be sent to friends, relatives, hospital or nursing home residents or those that are home bound.  Surely, it will bring a smile to their face as we head into Spring.

Eyelet Outlet Supplies Used:

bird brads

mini ladybug brads

mini ant brads

brown rabbit brads

pastel rabbit brads

Hop on over to the Eyelet Outlet website and pick up the brads and more to create your Spring card!

Happy Crafting!

Happy and Hoppy

Easter is fairly late this year, which means we have plenty of time to make Easter cards! But when you see all the fun Eyelet Outlet Easter products, I (Lauren) don't think you'll want to wait!

I started with an Easter-themed journal card... surely those are the best time-saver EVER for cardmakers? I stamped and fussycut the sweet bunny from Pretty Pink Posh's Holiday Pals set, and then I got straight to the fun embellies! To the pre-printed striped egg and flowers I added Stitched Flower Brads, Mini Stitched Flowers, a Pastel Rabbit, an Egg Brad decorated with a strip of Skinny Washi and of course you cannot send a bunny out into the world without a carrot, right? So here's one from the Vegetable Brads set. I also added in an 1/8" Round Brad everywhere there was a little circle on the journal card... which means that each of the printed flower centers AND all of the scallops around the edge got one! I added a few pastel layered mats before mounting the whole thing to a 5.5" square card I had adorned with neatly lined up strips of Pink and Green Zig Zag Tape!

I hope you'll hop on over to the Eyelet Outlet shop and see what Easter goodies are in store!

Wanna Hang Out?

I hope you come to the Eyelet Outlet blog every day - EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. The design team posts daily here on the blog and... WOW! What a talented group. And even better than that, by coming here you get to see all the new products Eyelet Outlet has to offer.

For instance, the past few days the new clear stamps have been revealed. They are amazing and so economical, too! Check them out in the store by clicking HERE.

And the new brads are AMAZING! There are so many to choose from. You're going to love them!!! Go HERE to see what I'm talking about.

For my card today I used some of the new clothing brads. I created a clothesline (using paper strips and a piece of linen twine) to hang my "clothes" out to dry on a gorgeous partly cloudy spring day.

Eyelet Outlet Products Used:

Dress Brads

Jeans and Tee Shirt Brads

Pastel Rabbit Brads

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!

How Many Bunnies...

...does it take to fill the Eyelet Outlet Blog? I confess that I (Lauren) don't know the answer; which is just as well, since however many we started with, there'd no doubt be more by the time we finished!

Then there's the question of which bunnies we'd choose, because of course the Eyelet Outlet Store has a few varieties: there are realistic looking Rabbit Brads, Pastel Rabbit Brads (both of which I've used on my cards) as well as adorable Chocolate Bunny Brads.

When it comes to tape, we've got the two I've used for my card backgrounds: Black and White Rabbit Washi and Colorful Rabbit Washi.

Not to mention cuuuute Bunny Washi and Easter Bunny Washi. I've used colorful Chevron Tape, as well, on both my cards.

I also love the Easter Bubble Brads and Spring Bubble Brads, to let my bunnies have their say.

But of course there's much more to Easter than bunnies: there are Egg Brads, Colored Egg Brads, Egg Quicklets, Oval Egg Bling, Oval Jewels, Cross Brads... well, let's just say I don't think you'll run out of choices any time soon, so head on over to the Eyelet Outlet Store and start planning your Easter cards right now!

Some Bunny Loves You!

Hi everyone!  I'm here today with a clean and simple card that was put together with a couple of punches and a few quick embellishments.  Gotta love it when the colors coordinate and it comes together so easily!  

Some Easter washi tape forms a border beneath a punched garden of flowers accented with enamel dot centers.  A pastel rabbit brad and an enamel heart on the (also punched) sentiment tag add another pop of color to the uncluttered, bright white background. A fast, fun card for Easter, or for any lovely Spring day, for that matter!  

Wishing You a Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! For those celebrating today, here is a little Easter greeting for you!

What could be cuter than a basket of bunnies?

I think the little Pastel Rabbit Brads are adorable - not only for Easter, but for cute Spring greetings too! You can find them in the Eyelet Outlet Store here. And of course they are sending Easter greetings using the Easter Bubble Brads (also great for upcoming Spring greetings!).

I also used Checked Washi Tape in Pink to ground the basket. I added it to my card panel before the dry embossing, and it blended in beautifully with the floral background.

 I'm looking forward to Spring!

Hoppy Easter!

Hello, all, it's Lauren here again. I just couldn't resist making one more Easter card featuring Eyelet Outlet's adorable Chocolate Bunny and Pastel Rabbit Brads:

This idea was pretty serendipitous: I just happened to have a roll of Rabbit Washi Tape sitting on my work table next to a few pieces of vintage sheet music I had used for a different project, when I noticed that the space between the treble and bass clefs was exactly the same size as the tape... clearly it was meant to frame some super-cute Easter goodness!  

One of my favorite things about Eyelet Outlet is that the packets of animal brads always contain some critters that face right and some that face left... which means they can interact! I liked the idea that the bunnies on the tape and the bunny brads could talk to each other via Easter Bubble Brads, so I added a few of those. Since the shape was kind of long and narrow, I decided this should be a tall card, and matted the little scene with a few papers that would make those yummy Chocolate Bunny Brads stand out!

Wishing an especially Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating!

Easter Flip-It Shaker Card

Hello Eyelet Outlet fans!!

This week I went off my usual layout post path,

because I couldn't resist doing a cute card for Easter

with this cute pastel rabbit brad.

(He's also available in chocolate.)

Since this card is a flip-it style card I needed to hide the brad tabs on the other side.

So what did I do? Well use a paper flower and bling!!

I added some color wheel washi tape and oval egg bling for more interest.

Supplies

Pastel bunny brad

Easter bubble brad

Paper flower

Round jewel bling

Color wheel washi tape

Oval jewel bling

Come back next week and until then... happy crafting.
