Who Doesn't Love A Pinwheel?!
Who doesn't love a pinwheel?
I sure do. They remind me of my childhood, playing out in the front yard, running as fast as I could and watching the wind spin the colorful pinwheel I had in my hand. With the weather warming up, I've been seeing pinwheels all over the place, which is what inspired me to create these five unique pinwheel themed cards. The best part about them is the fact that each pinwheel was made using washi tape instead of cardstock.
The next card was created using two different washi tapes to make the pinwheels, the Ocean Washi Tape and the Succulent Washi Tape each layered on each other. The corners are embellished with Green Jewel Bling and in the center of the pinwheel and close to the sentiment, are two Cactus Brads.
This next card just makes me smile looking at it. I love the colors I selected for the pinwheel which were the Flowers and Feather Washi Tape along with the Dark Blue Glitter Washi Tape. I embellished the card with multiple Blue Bumpy Bling, two Bumpy Bling Hearts, multiple Yellow Enamel Dots and right in the center of the pinwheel is a Bright Yellow Balloon Brad. Just makes me smile.
The fourth card I created, I used the Tulip Washi Tape along with the Glitter Chevron Washi Tape and added the large Stippled Jewel Brad in the center of the pinwheel. The pinwheel and the sentiment are outlined with Yellow Jewel Bling while the corners of the card have Blue Bumpy Bling and Yellow Jewel Bling.
Thanks to a huge selection of wash tapes and bling from Eyelet Outlet, I was able to create these five cards in a few hours and now I have them on hand just waiting for the perfect occasion to send. I hope these inspired you to go create some pinwheel cards of your own.

Happy Birthday Wishes!
For my card base, I cut white cardstock to 5.5 x 5.5 and used a grid mat to create a diagonal pattern using various glittery washi tapes and the Happy Birthday washi tape! Next, I stamped and fussy cut my cupcake base and icing. I added pink pearls for sprinkles and a birthday candle brad and adhered with foam tape. I layered on a piece of white doily and embellished with swirl purple jewel bling. I added a banner greeting and a few more sparkles! I think it is a fun, festive, and colorful greeting that anyone would enjoy receiving on their special day!

A Rose for You
This card features a pop-up feature of a rose inside. I paired
the rose designer paper that I had with some gorgeous
butterfly washi tape from Eyelet Outlet.
Then I used the butterfly washi tape on both the inside and
outside of the card. I also added bumpy clear gems on both
the inside and outside for some additional sparkle.
To add to the butterfly theme I included Eyelet Outlet
butterfly brads.

Have an Egg-cellent Birthday!
Happy Saturday my Eyelet Outlet friends! I started a day this past week with a breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee. It all got me to thinking that EO has brads for all those items and that I should make a card with them! I happen to have a pan stamp in my stash and it is was just the right size to add Bacon, Egg, & Toast Brads. I added a Coffee Brad and a fork from the Silverware Brads to make the breakfast complete!
For additional decoration, I created borders out of Strawberry Washi Tape and added strips of Skinny Glitter Washi Tape. Last I added a red Star Brad as an accent. I adhered the finished panel to a red A2 card base. It looks like a yummy birthday is ahead for the person getting this one!

Short on time and need a quick card?
Have you ever needed a greeting card quick and didn't have one on hand? Well, by using nothing more than some scrap pieces of cardstock, an embossing folder, a die and a few embellishments from Eyelet Outlet, you can create this beautiful, simple, store-bought looking card in a matter of minutes.
I started off by cutting a 5x7 white cardstock base, a 4 ¾ x 6 ¾ piece of blue cardstock and a 4 ½ x 6 ½ white cardstock and layered those on top of the card base.
The magic in this card is the beautiful gift box in the center. The gift box was made from a piece of scrap cardstock that I embossed and cut to look as if it was a box with a lid. I found a butterfly shaped dye and, using an orange ombre shaded piece of scrap cardstock, I cut out multiple butterflies and glued them on as if they were bursting out of the box.
There are two beautiful monarch butterflies from the Butterfly Brads which add depth and movement to the front of the card. The sentiment is a simple thank you in which I cut it out twice and glued both pieces together, offsetting each other to form a shadow type look.
In the corners and in the center of each flower are shiny Orange Jewel Bling for sparkle.
This card took me approximately 20 minutes to make using nothing more than scrap pieces of cardstock I had laying around and adding some embellishments from Eyelet Outlet. This is a very simple card to make and when you are short on time and you need a thank you card, or a birthday card, or a get-well card, just change the sentiment. This is a fun, beautiful and easy card to make.

With Sincere Sympathy
I created this simple sympathy card by first applying various texture stamps with distress inks on white cardstock. Next I added the wide floral washi tape across the center of my card. I added the paper flowers in white and yellow and used all 3 sizes for dimension. I added a center yellow brad for some pop! Next, I decided to pull the blue from the washi tape and use that color for my sentiment. Lastly, I embellished with a row of 3 blue brads from the Summer brad mix! I hope you enjoy!

Follow That Bunny!
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!
