Trendy Baker's Twine - Halloween Peat Pot Gift Giving

Hello and Happy Friday!

 I'm back as the Guest Designer for Trendy Twine!! 

This is my last post! I've enjoyed my time
here on the Trendy Twine blog again and I hope I have brought some inspiration
for you to make some creations with your Trendy Twine!

Since it's my last post I thought I would share a Halloween Gifting Treat that incorporates this months featured Kraft Mini Seed Packets.

I started with some little peat pots and painted them up in pumpkin orange using Rit dye.  I than added pretty black lace to the bottom and top.  

  My next step was to make a fluffy layered bow which I added a 4 layered Totally Kraft Trendy Twine to the top which I anchored with a fancy button and greeting tag onto which I added to a gathering of tulle on the side of the pot.  

Next I started having fun layering some diecuts and images onto gold and orange tulle and add dimension adhesive for a 3D effect. I created a double bow using Totally Kraft Trendy Twine embellished with a darling black jewel.

Now comes the fun part. Finding some goodies to place inside for your gift.  I decorated a Kraft Mini Seed Packets by stamping an image using VersaMark ink. I then used Totally Kraft Trendy Twine to trim the outside of the Mini Seed Packets.  I stamped a 31 in black ink and added a vintage image to complete the look. This is the perfect size to fit most gift cards and makes an adorable way to give a Halloween Treat. Perhaps to those hardworking teachers or if you know someone who has a birthday around Halloween. It is something they can use year after year.

Have a Happy Halloween Gift

Hello Friends,

Some of the Trendy Twine Gals did a little gift exchange for Halloween! Here is what I created for one of my DT Sisters, Millie.

I made a homemade Candy Corn Sugar Scrub with all natural ingredients. I just added food coloring to get the candy corn colors and stacked it in this cute little jar which I decorated of course with some amazing Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine!

Shows top of the jar

For the card, I started with a white card base and added a few layers of patterned papers perfect for Halloween. I added some black lace trim at the bottom where the papers ended. I also took more of the Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine and wrapped it around the card front several times for additional visual interest and texture.  At the top, I  took a length of some fancy black ribbon and created a ribbon treatment which I embellished further with orange seam binding, a button, and another layered bow made from Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.  

I stamped my focal image which was a jar full of candy corn (to compliment my gift):) I added a tiny tag with a greeting to the jar A little something for you! I then die-cut the word Halloween from orange cardstock and placed at the bottom right of the card. Next I stamped, Have a Happy in black ink just left and above the Halloween. All that was left, was to round the corners at the bottom. 

I did add some other goodies to the box for an additional treat. (not handmade, so I figured you wouldn't care to see!)

I hope you enjoyed this little Halloween Treat as much as I enjoyed making it. 

Thank you for stopping by and visiting me today!

Trendy Twine - Have a Wicked Halloween

Hello Friends!

Hope you are having a wonderful day this fall morning! I am over on the Trendy Twine blog sharing a project with one of the featured twines this month.

Let me get started...I have created a cute little treat set.

I made a scalloped circle card and layered by nesting some circles inside using the coordinating spiderweb Halloween paper as seen on the Mini Coffee Cup.  I trimmed the top circle layer with Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.  I die-cut a witch hat and legs and added to the front...stamping a cute sentiment to complete the card. 

For the darling Mini Coffee Cup, I started with some fun spiderweb Halloween paper, circle dies and a cute Halloween Candy Embellishment which I layered and added to the front of the cup.   I took Halloween Orange Licorice and wrapped it around the top of the lid three times and tied in a triple bow. 

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

The Kraft Journal - Take Your Pick - Halloween

Good Monday Morning to you!

Our challenge this week at The Kraft Journal is Take Your Pick where you get to pick at least three items from the chart below. This week I choose: Baker's Twine, Die-Cut, Pumpkin, Glitter, Buttons, Stamped, Black. I lacked the tag or I would have incorporated all the choices.

I began my card with a card base made from Blackboard Stock Paper.  I layered a piece of Orange and Black patterned paper adding to that a layer cut from Vintage Dictionary Pages. In my stash, I had a Halloween Journal card which I placed over the Vintage Dictionary Page.  Using a scrap of Blackboard Stock Paper, I die-cut a star adding to the center. I then stamped a Jack-O-Lantern and dotted circle border image to the center of a circle die-cut made from Buff Ivory Cardstock which I framed with a scallop circle created from orange cardstock. I added some iridescent glitter to the Jack-O-Lantern image.  (which disappointingly is not showing up well here)

After I was done giving Mr. Jack a touch of glitz, I added the prepped focal image to the center of the black die-cut star. I stamped Halloween on a banner created from Buff Ivory Cardstock and used an Orange Wooden Clothespin to hold it in place. Next I had some fun with Orange Baker's Twine by adding a tiny double bow to the top of the focal image as well as playfully adding it to the right side of the card front.  Lastly, I added three black buttons to the bottom portion of the card. 

Other Products Used

Stamps: DeNami Design

Buttons: Hobby Lobby

Here is the Take Your Pick choices for this week's challenge.

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Take Your Pick creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

TKJ#244 Halloween

Good Monday to you!

This week at The Kraft Journal we have a Halloween or Harvest Festival Challenge for you to join in. I went with Halloween this week. I always enjoy creating Halloween cards and projects to share.

I started with a card base of Buff Ivory Cardstock onto which I added Halloween themed patterned papers rounding the top right corner. I die-cut some stars from Blackboard Stock Paper adding a vintage image from the Seasonal Salvage Stickers. This is also where the "Spooky" sentiment image came from as well. Where the papers met, I took a length of Orange Baker's twine and added along the card front.

Next I created a fussy bow from Hand Stained Bias Tape which I spritzed with some Glimmer Mist to achieve the color needed for this card. I embellished it with a prima black flower adding a brad from my stash to the center.  Lastly, I added a length of ivory crochet trim to the bottom of the card for a finishing touch. 

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Halloween - Harvest Festival creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

Trendy Twine - Skinny Candy Bags for Halloween

Good Morning Trendy Twiners!!!

We will be showcasing the  Skinny Candy Bags this month!   

I started out by filling up the Skinny Candy Bags with orange and black gems.  After I stamped and die-cut my tags, (My Creative Time) I attached them using Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine. 

I used a candy tube holder that I had in my cutting files to hold the treats. I added a Jack-O-Lantern face to the front. I think I will be dropping this little cutie to the ladies in the front office of my son's school.

Well I hope you have enjoyed the first of many projects with our featured packaging product this month and will pick up some of these Skinny Candy Bags  to make some of your own.

They come in 2 different options 100 count  and 25 count.  

I also used Orange Licorice Trendy Twine on my project! Perfect for all of your Halloween projects this year.

Well that is all I have to share today. If you do make some of these fun Candy Sticks, please share your projects with us, either on the Trendy Twine Facebook page~ HERE or our Twine It Up Facebook group.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a FaNtAsTiC day!!

Trendy Twine Halloween Shaker Special Post

Good Morning and welcome to the TRENDY TWINE HALLOWEEN SHAKER SPECIAL POST!  The Trendy Twine gals have a special post today and we will be showcasing a new line of sequins by creating Halloween shaker cards being carried at Annie's Boutique!

Let's get started!

I started by using my Silhouette to create a file for my shaker to cut a witches hat in the middle of a circle. I used a spider web embossing folder for the back ground. I added the amazing Orange Licorice Halloween Batty Sequins to the center to create the shaker and then trimming the outside with Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.

I added my patterned papers to the card base leaving a small space to stamp my Halloween greeting. I wrapped more Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine around the card front tying in a bow.  I added another final trim of the twine at the top of the bottom patterned paper to give more pop of color against the neutral tones of the patterned paper and Kraft card base.  For a final finishing touch, I added a length of ivory crochet trim to the top of the card front.

The Kraft Journal, Anything Goes - Pumpkin

Hello and Happy Monday!

This week at The Kraft Journal we have an Anything Goes - Pumpkin challenge for you.

I decorated two Small Kraft Pillow Boxes for the upcoming Halloween holiday and filled them with treats. I took a piece of designer paper and wrapped it around the pillow box. Using Blackboard Stock Paper, I die-cut some ric-rac borders to add to the front.

Next I took a length of Black Twill Tape and wrapped it around the pillow box and tied a bow at the top. Again, using Blackboard Stock Paper, I made a paper rosette to add to the center adding a circular greeting (My Creative Time) and a die-cut pumpkin to complete my Pillow Box treats.

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Anything Goes - Pumpkin creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

Trick Or Treat with Green Slime Popcorn {Trendy Twine}

Good Saturday Morning to you!

I am excited to share one last Halloween Project as a Trendy Twine Little Sister on the Trendy Twine Blog using Grape Limeade Trendy Twine. 

I made a treat holder using a file I bought in the Silhouette Store. I paper pieced and assembled the holder.  Next I gave my friendly witch a darling twine bow using Grape Limeade Trendy Twine. Isn't she cute?

I cooked up some wickedly addictive "Green Slime" Popcorn to put in a treat bag which I tied off with a DeNami Design Boutique Button, tag, and Grape Limeade Trendy Twine.  The stamped sentiment is from My Creative Time Fright Night set. I just had to add a black spider for fun! :-) Perfect, for teachers, neighbors, coaches...you name it! 

So, I hope you enjoyed my last inspiration project using the fabulous Grape Limeade Trendy Twine.
