from one crazy bird to another

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun friendship card featuring NEW brads in the store along with some washi tape and yep… you guessed it… (my favorite) enamel dots!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. I cut a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and a slightly larger panel from American Crafts Peacock cardstock which I adhered together. I cut a panel from some tropical leaf paper for the right side and then added a narrow strip of the Peacock cardstock along with a strip of Silver Skinny Washi Tape. I stamped the sentiments in teal ink, then stamped an assortment of tropical leaves on white cardstock scraps in teal and green ink, die cut them and arranged them on the card panel. The final step was adding two Tropical Bird Brads and three Green Enamel Dots, and adhering the panel to the card base.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of tropical leaf paper and a narrow strip of Peacock cardstock, stamped the sentiment in teal ink, and layered the panel on the Peacock cardstock.

And one more peek… so happy with how this turned out! Love it when the paper and stamps coordinate so well, and the card comes together easily with these amazing brads, washi tape and enamel dots!

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
