Happy 5 Sukie & Helen...{Trendy Twine Guest Designer}

Good Morning everyone!

I am popping in with a special Guest Designer spot over on the 

Trendy Twine blog as the DT celebrates 2 special DT members

Sukie & Helen!

They have both been on the Trendy Twine DT for the past 5 years and in recognition of their talents with sharing awesome projects for the past 5 years, the DT made some special cards for them.

 Take a look at the cards I made using one of my favorite go to twines~ Totally White

To make my cards, I used kraft cardstock bases, layered some white cardstock and then picked some fun pattern paper that I new would match with the design of my cards.
For the star card, I cut the star Pinwheel Center dies from MCT  in rainbow scrap cardstock and then threaded the twine through each of the holes. A simple bow was then tied onto the top through the red star.
The sentiment was die cut using the Tag Die Layers and for a fun added touch I left the sentiment with the negative which was then popped up onto the front of the card.
The heart card was made exactly like the star card with the only difference being the sentiment and designer paper.

Congrats to Sukie and Helen on 5 years of Trendy Twine service!! Your designs are awesome and I sure hope you like your cards ladies!!!
Make sure to check out the Trendy Twine blog for more celebration cards from the DT!

A special thanks to Lesley for asking me to be a part of this Happy 5 for Sukie and Helen!

Have a GREAT Friday and weekend!!

Hugs!

Congratulation....Trendy Twine DT

 Good Morning everyone!

I am up on the Trendy Twine blog today with another project featuring the twine color of the month.....

Kraft Red Trendy Twine

I went with a Clean & Simple card for today's post that would be perfect as a wedding card.

I started with a kraft card stock base and then added a layer of designer paper from Echo Park. Continuing along, I added another layer of white card stock but this time I die cut an edge off so the fun pattern paper could be seen underneath. I stamped the sentiment onto the bottom corner and they placed the card aside to begin working on the focal point of my card.

For the focal point I wanted to join the 2 die cut hearts using the Krafty Red Trendy Twine. I took the 2 hearts and taped them together. Then using my hole punch, I added 2 holes to string the twine through.

A simple bow tied and the tails hung longer finished my heart piece.

I popped the whole heart embellishment up onto the card front using some fun foam.

I finished my card off by adding a matching panel inside the card and this is ready to be signed and given :)

 Good Morning everyone!
I am up on the Trendy Twine blog 

  to share a sweet Valentine's Day project using the featured products of the month~

Kraft Red Trendy Twine and the Kraft Tags with Metal Rims

Giving treats especially on Valentines Day is so fun, especially with yummy Kisses!

For my project I used the 1x8  Candy Tube and filled it with about 12 red wrapped kisses. 

Next I wanted my tag to be more on the simple side so I used a heart die (My Creative Time~Stitched Heart Layering Dies) to cut out the center of my tag, filled it with the Kraft Red Trendy Twine and then stamped my sentiment (My Creative Time~Chocolate Greetings)

To attach the tag to my candy tube, I wrapped more Kraft Red Trendy Twine around the top of the tube several times and then tied it all into a bow.

Good Morning!!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine blog!

I have another Valentine's Day card to share using some featured products of the month

Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine & the Raspberry Cupcake Sequins 

I know I have said this before but shaker cards are so fun to make and people love getting an interactive card! Totally LOVING that the sequins are matching the twine colors as well!!!

Here is a close up of the shaker part. I did add some pink and white seed beads to my sequin mix for some extra bulk in my heart. It's a great way to fill up your shaker without using a ton of sequins...in my case because I LOVE to hoard them...LOL!

#I Love You....Trendy Twine DT Post

Good Morning everyone!

 I am up on the 

Trendy Twine Blog today sharing a shaker card using the featured twine color of the month

Raspberry Cupcake & the new matching Raspberry Cupcake Sequins!

To make my card, I started with a kraft cardstock base and designer paper from My Minds Eye die cut out using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die . Next I grabbed the Be Your Best Selfie set and die cut the frame for my shaker. Before filling the frame with my Raspberry Cupcake Sequins and some white and pink seed beads, I stamped my sentiment. (trust me it is hard to stamp after filling the shaker...LOL!)

To embellish my card, I added a large heart using the Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Die, a smaller heart from the Stitched Heart Layering Dies and a big Raspberry Cupcake Twine bow.

I hope you liked my card for today!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

I will be back on Monday for the start of Release Week for My Creative Time! I am super excited to share all my projects!!

Good Morning everyone!!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine blog!

And I am sharing my final Christmas card of 2015.

Before I share my project I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!It is so hard to believe that another year is almost in the books. It has been an awesome year for me and I hope it has been for you as well!

For my card, I wanted to make a mini shaker using the adorable tree die from MCT. In my travels to Michaels, I was able to pick up some chunky glitter in the Christmas section that I was just dying to use. It was kinda a mess to add to my shaker.....sequins would so much better (you can find them HERE) but the end result I think is very pretty.

After making my shaker and adding my sentiment, I used my featured twine color of the month~ Candy Cane Trendy Twine and made a bow to add to the base of my tree. The perfect extra embellishment to finish off my card!

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas....{Trendy Twine DT}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog!

A new month of spotlighted products from Trendy Twine has the DT showcasing the gorgeous Christmas Twine Colors.

Today I am sharing a Christmas treat inspired project using my featured twine color of the month~

Candy Cane Trendy Twine and a Candy Tin

These make the best quick and easy gifts..fill with some goodies and embellish and they are ready to give :) For my project I used some Hershey Chocolate Nuggets and wrapped them using the holiday paper from Recollections. I was able to get 10 pieces inside the tin nicely and they are all cushioned in some paper shredding.

For my outside embellishing, I use the matching paper from Recollections to make a belly band. This not only holds the tin in place but allows a place for my sentiment. I wrapped some Candy Cane Trendy Twine around the belly band 2 times and tied it off to the side with a bow. For some extra holiday cheer, I did add some fun silver jingle bells.

My sentiment and die cuts come from My Creative Time~ Belly Band Sentiment Set and Stitched Belly Band Dies

Happy Thanksgiving w/Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone! 

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog and I am excited to be able to share another project with you all using my featured twine color of the month~

Totally Chocolate along with the adorable 2x2 Kraft Boxes

Can you believe that it is almost Thanksgiving?? I thought I would make a project that can work for the dinner table. These 2X2 Kraft Boxes can be filled with candy and be a fun treat for your guests to take home with them.

To make my project, I started with a 2X2 Kraft Box and covered it with some beautiful designer paper from Recollections~Harvest Collections paper pack. Next using one of the panels (before it was attached to the box) I die cut a leaf using My Creative Time's A Thankful Heart set. I filled the leaf with the Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine then attached it to the box front.

I wanted to add a simple tag as well to by box, so I grabbed a Fun Stitched Tag Die , stamped my sentiment from the Fall Friends set and attached it all to the top of my box with more Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine.

Autumn Wishes.....Trendy Twine

Good Morning Everyone!

It is my DT day over on the Trendy Twine Blog!!!

A new month of spotlighted products from Trendy Twine has the DT showcasing the gorgeous new Fall Twine Colors. 

Today I am sharing a Fall inspired project using my featured twine color of the month~

Totally Chocolate along with the adorable 2x2 Kraft Boxes

To make my project, I used a 2x2 Kraft Box and instead of closing it up, I left the opening flap up and covered it with some beautiful fall pattern paper from Lawn Fawn~Sweater Weather. Next I wrapped some Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine around the box and added an adorable stamped image from My Creative Time colored with my copics. A fun banner sentiment onto the top and this box is ready to be filled with just about anything!

Of course I had to fill it with some Fall colored M&M's using the Candy Sack from Trendy Twine! Those bags hold a ton of treats!!! To close it up, I punched 2 holes onto the folded over top and then threaded some more Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine through to make a bow.

Here is what the candy bag looks like inside my project. A PERFECT fit!! And now ready to give :)

Trick or Treat w/Trendy Twine!

Good Morning Everyone!

I am up on the Trendy Twine Blog today 

Can you believe Halloween is in just 2 days ?? Are you ready for your trick or treaters??

What about those treats for class parties??

Today's project is perfect for that using my featured products of the month

Grape Licorice Trendy Twine and the Skinny Candy Bags

Now a days schools are pushing for less treats to be sent into class for parties (at least in our area) so I have a solution that is still LOTS of fun to give and receive. These school age kiddos LOVE to get fun holiday pencils and you can find them for every holiday and in just about every color! Well why not grab 2 and slide them onto the Skinny Candy Bags? They fit perfectly and dressed up with a cute holiday tag...you can have these ready to hand out in no time!

For my tag, I made a mini shaker on the bottom using the newly released Grape Licorice Batty sequins. Then using stamps and dies from My Creative Time for my tag, I attached it onto the Skinny Candy Bag by wrapping some of the beautiful and perfectly matching Grape Licorice Trendy Twine several time around the bag and tying it into a bow. Some random Grape Licorice Batty sequins completed my project and these are now ready to be given out.

I Break for Bats! {Trendy Twine DT project}

Good Morning Everyone!

I am up on the Trendy Twine blog today!!!

Can you believe Halloween is just around the corner?? Time to start thinking about whipping up those treats for class parties and your trick or treaters.

Today's project is perfect for that using my featured products of the month

Grape Licorice Trendy Twine and the Skinny Candy Bags

To make these treats, I used the Skinny Candy Bags and filled them with some purple, white and black chocolate jewels. 25 fit in each bag perfectly! I then used my Silhouette and cut out a cute bat. I eliminated the eyes so I could add some fun googly eyes and stapled the tops of the candy bags onto the belly of the bat.

Next I went ahead and scored the wings so I could fold them over to give the look that they were holding onto my sentiment as well as act as a cover to hid the staple holding the candy onto the bat. The sentiment (from My Creative Time~Trick or Treat set) was stamped onto to banner die from My Creative Time's Just Simply Live set. I added eyelets to each side of the banner then threaded the gorgeous Grape Licorice through to tie a bow onto each side.

Super cute and so much fun to make!!!!
