Thankful for You

Hello everyone!

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope this finds you blessed and not stressed with the upcoming holiday on reflecting what we are thankful for!

I was hosting then I wasn't hosting Thanksgiving dinner, so I am grateful for wonderful friends having us over and picking up the slack.  I wanted to show my appreciation for having us over and my bag of goodies wouldn't be complete if I didn't throw a little something that was sprinkled with a crafty handmade touch.

Well I am always short on time these days, so I pretty much cased myself from a few years ago. No need to reinvent the wheel right?

5 Tags created in an assembly line to embellish some yummy treats.  Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine helped package these treats up nicely along with some ribbon and raffia I had in my stash.

I thank you for stopping by and visiting me! I am thankful for you!  I don't get crafty much these days, so it makes me feel good when I can and I love sharing with you! Working full-time and commuting along with a year long baseball schedule limits my blog hopping time and commenting, but I do peek at all your work! You inspire me!

I am going to share at Crafty Hazel Nuts - November use patterned paper challenge, Cardsz TV - Anything Goes.

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

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.

Easter Marshmallow Bark {Trendy Twine}

Hello Friends!

I hope you are enjoying yourselves this last Saturday in March. I have a full day schedule. I feel like I live in my car more than I live in my house. 

I have a project today I am sharing on the Trendy Twine Blog using some fabulous Watermelon Taffy Twine and Small Candy Treat Sacks! I love these treat sacks because they have flat bottoms. Click here to see a project I made with them for Christmas gifts. They are perfect for a small candle. 

I made some Easter Marshmallow Bark and packaged it inside the Small Candy Treat Sacks. I used my cameo to cut a 3D Treat Bag Holder to attach the packaged Easter Marshmallow Bark to. Since I had the cutting machine going, I cut an Eater Egg with the same coordinating paper as the liner. I topped off with a few sequins and of course Watermelon Taffy Twine .

Sorry for the glare from my craft room lights. I promise you this bark is delish! So fun to make too!

St. Patrick's Treat Box {Trendy Twine}

Hello, it's my design day over at Trendy Twine and I have a project featuring Limeade Trendy Twine.  I started by adding and pleating some natural fringe fiber to the bottom of a Kraft Gable Box from Annie's Paper Boutique.  I wrapped a length of  Limeade Trendy Twine around the Kraft Gable Box over the pleated fringed fiber adding a stamped die-cut sentiment from My Creative Time to the center.

I die-cut a few more shamrocks in various greens and randomly placed them on the box.  Lastly a triple Limeade Trendy Twine bow was added to the center of the box.   

Here is a look at the Limeade Trendy Twine and Kraft Gable Box.

Over the next few days, the Trendy Twine team along with Fleurette's design team will be sharing Valentine projects with you. So be sure to visit the Trendy Twine Blog each day.

So for my project, I am sharing this cute "Beach Bucket" SVG Project Kit, and as you can see I went with a Valentine Theme by using the Hearts A Flutter Digital Paper Pack to cut my files with. 

I took the gorgeous Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and added to the top of the bucket handle tying a bow on each end. I outlined the sentiment portion of the shovel with it as well.  After I added the bucket sleeve, I took white crepe paper and pleated it all the way around the center next adding a double layer of Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine!

I cut the flower that comes in the kit using solid papers from the Hearts A Flutter Digital Paper Pack with the exception of Red and White they are from my own inventory. I added a button laced with Cherry Cupcake!

Thank you for joining me as part of the Trendy Twine 12 Days of Christmas series I'm Day 2!!! Our goal is to give you some gift packaging ideas and feature some gorgeous Trendy Twine.

On this 2nd day, I am sharing a sweet Kraft Gable Box which I stamped some sweet peppermints in red ink. Next I wrapped a band of pretty peppermint ribbon around the center of my box. I made a paper rosette and I added it to the center using a button to anchor a bow made from Holly Berry Trendy Twine.

I made a bow of red seam binding and more yummy Holly Berry Trendy Twine and added it to the box handle to complete this sweetly decorated package. All that is left is to fill it up with treats for Holiday gift giving! 

It really is easy to put together cute packaging and not have to put a lot of time in and your recipients will be impressed. The Kraft Gable Box is the perfect blank canvas. You can go simple or really have fun and create detailed packaging. Either way it's sure to wow!

Guest Designing today for My Craft Spot

Hi There!

Did you all have a nice Thanksgiving? How many of you folks braved or braving the Black Friday Crowds?  Not this girl....no way! However, SALE ALERT at the end of this post!!!! You can shop in the comfort of your own home!

I am so glad you stopped by today because I am sure excited to share that I am guest designing at My Craft Spot today!

I have three different projects to share with you so let's get started:

Ornate Labels - Christmas: I stamped the Winter Wonderland sentiment inside an oval die-cut. I added the snowflake flourish to the top and bottom to complete the focal image.

Ornate Labels - Christmas and Ornate Label Die: I stamped the frame and sentiment then I used the Label die to cut it out. I took the entire collection of snowflakes that come in the Ornate Labels - Christmas set and added to my acrylic block. I then randomly stamped the snowflakes to the kraft panels which I adhered to the treat box before it was assembled.

The file for the treat box was one I have had and have been meaning to create a project with. I really like how it turned out.

 I used my Cricut Doodlecharms Cartridge to cut the images for the other panels of the treat box.

I finished the treat box by embellishing with ribbon, a button and some jingle bells.

Jar Full of Flowers and Ornate Label Die: Switching gears from the holidays, I wanted to share a clean and simple Sympathy card using the Ornate Label Die. 

I layered the flowers both on the card base and the die-cut adding a pearl to the center for a finishing touch.

I really hope you enjoyed what I have shared today! I would like to thank Kimberly for having me as her guest designer. I love her products and I am thrilled I got to spotlight a few of them today!
