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:

Treacherous Treats

Happy Friday!

{Happy and Honored to have this card selected as a Design Team Pick at Can You Case It on 10/17/15}

As my blog has been pretty quiet for quite sometime, life continues to roll along and I find less and less time in my crafting space, but I managed to get in there to make another Halloween card. This year, I don't have the stock to pull from to mail cards as I have in years past.

Being in a time crunch, I neglected to get the twine out of the way of my tag when I photographed, so please forgive. :-) I also didn't fluff up my bow. Didn't notice till I sat down to write the blog.

This card I used ALL leftover pieces with the exception of the Halloween Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.  That candy corn grosgrain ribbon I have had for years, and that was the very last piece that barely fit across the center of my card. I never throw anything away. Eventually it finds a home. :-))) I have a ribbon toss pile that I put all my left over pieces, so I will sometimes just rummage through till I find what I want and give a final home to some leftovers.

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.

Stamps: DeNami Design

Buttons: Hobby Lobby

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.

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 - CAS Baby

Hello Friends!

It's Monday, and I am here with a new challenge for you over at The Kraft Journal Challenge Blog. This week we want to see your CAS - Baby Creations. Using items either found at The Kraft Outlet or using kraft cardstock.

I started with a card base of Brown Kraft Coverweight onto which I added some patterned paper from DCWV. Next I took a length of Yellow Baker's Twine and wrapped it around the card front several times just above the patterned paper. I took a Small Manila Shipping Tag and stamped a background of hearts (DeNami Design) in a light green ink. I stamped a cute giraffe (DeNami Design) using Buff Ivory Cardstock, colored him with copics, followed by fussy cutting and mounting him with foam adhesive to the center of the shipping tag. Next I took a length of pink satin ribbon and wrapped it around tying a fussy bow just to the top of the shipping tag adding a button laced with Natural Hemp Cord.

The Baby sentiment (DeNami Design) was stamped in black ink directly to the card base. For a finishing touch, I added three pink dew drops.

There you have it. I really reached into my stash of paper, ribbons and embellishments...

Trendy Twine - Sending a Latte...

Happy Sunday!

I am back again with a post for the awesome Trendy Twine Blog!  I am featuring Cherry Latte Trendy Twine.  My inspiration started by this build a sentiment set that I have in my collection called Sending a Latte...(The Angel Company - no longer in business)

I started this card by piecing together my patterned papers and layering them to my card base. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a Coffee Cup.  I added some Cherry Latte Trendy Twine to the cup for a decorative touch. I mounted it to the front of the card using foam adhesive to give it some added dimension. I ran a length of Cherry Latte Trendy Twine across the front where the bottom layers of the patterned paper pieces met.

I created a fussy bow which I embellished further with a double bow created from Cherry Latte Trendy Twine, and a button laced with the twine as well. Lastly, I just stamped and added my sentiment to the card front to complete my project.

You can find this fabulous Twine on sale at Annie's Paper Boutique.

Trendy Twine - Mini Coffee Cup Berry Basket

Hi Friends!

I'm over on the Trendy Blog sharing a Hot Cocoa gift treat showcasing this months AWESOME Mini Coffee Cups,  Mini Spoons, and Cherry Latte Trendy Twine.

I always get swamped at the holidays, so I try to start working on gifts for these occasions early. I made a little basket of Holiday Cheer!

I started by decorating my Mini Coffee Cup with some designer paper. I made a belly band from kraft paper and ran it through my paper crimper to give it the corrugated cardboard look.

 

I used some die-cut labels to attach my greeting and I wrapped the top with Trendy Twine's Featured twine this month: Cherry Latte Trendy Twine

I then added the contents to make Peppermint Hot Cocoa into a bag and tied off adding Cherry Latte Trendy Twine gift tag and a decorated Mini Wooden Spoon.

Next I took a paper berry basket adding Kraft Paper Shreds and folded a doily over the top to the outside. Wrapping some more amazing Cherry Latte Trendy Twine adding a cluster pine cone embellishment to complete my gift set.

The Kraft Journal, Anything Goes - Pumpkin

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.

Happy 8th Birthday {The Kraft Journal)

Hello There!

I have a cute number card for you today. We have the Take Your Pick challenge at The Kraft Journal. 

Today I created a sweet kids number birthday card picking items from the challenge inspiration.  It shows how The Kraft Journal challenge is always open to interpretation. All you need to do to play along is use Kraft or items that can be purchased from The Kraft Outlet.

I used Die-cuts, Purple, Ribbon, and Patterned Paper ( and the patterned paper has glitter in it). I started with a card base of Brown Kraft Cover Weight Card Stock onto which I added the glittered patterned paper. Next I took a piece of Buff Ivory Card Stock and cut it to the size I needed and rounded the top two corners.

I stamped Happy and Birthday (PTI) in pink and lavender inks adding the die-cut squared chipboard in the middle adding the 8. I die-cut the th (PTI) and placed it to the upper right of the number. I die-cut and stamped some candles (PTI) and placed them on the lower left corner where they would peek out from the Lilac Lace Seam Binding I wrapped around the card front tying in a scrunchy bow embellished with a button (DeNami Design) and Pink Baker's Twine. Lastly, I added a few colorful sequins for an added touch of glitz.

Here is the Take Your Pick choices for the week.

Baseball Birthday Card

Hello all~

{Thank you to Retro Sketches for giving this card a "Shout Out" on 9/12/15}

I know I have pretty much been MIA. Life takes over and summer was busy, out-of-state baseball tournaments, and during his break from baseball, my son and I went on a three week road trip...then my beloved computer just stop working on our trip....no warning...just the end of it's life cycle. So with school, and baseball starting back up...it's taking some time to sort out getting a new computer and getting my files off the old. I had to have an expert start working on it since the thing would no longer power up.

Having said that...I have not been around to visit or post, so I am sorry.

I was forced back into the craft room since my son has a birthday party to go to this weekend. I have not been in there in almost two months. I worked ahead for some DT assignments, so I had to really knock the dust off.

Inspiration was provided (thank goodness), by Retro Sketches!

I used the Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge for the ball and bat, and the sentiment is from Jaded Blossom.

As mentioned, inspiration found at Retro Sketches! 

I hope you have a TERRIFIC Thursday!
