Happy Mother's Day

Hello everyone and Happy Mother's Day!

I have a quick post for you with some Mother's Day Treat Holders and some fabulous new Trendy Twine.

I used the brand new Totally White Trendy Twine on my tubes.  I love it!!  The colors on my paper were so varied that I didn't know what color to use, so the white was just perfect!  The paper is from the Close to My Heart special they have this month.

Be sure to visit Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine to see all the Mother's Day wishes.

Have a fabulous day!!  If you have some free crafty time today, you should join in our Challenge this month :)

Hello There!

Hi there!  Here's another Trendy Twine Twisted Gumball/The Alley Way Stamps card.  This was the first one I made but it's not what I wanted it to be.

I colored directly on the kraft paper and I think that is what threw me off.  The color changes as it dries which was actually a good thing.  But I love a more vivid pink and the kraft mutes it.

All stamps are from the Petal Pushers TAWS stamp set and I did like the look of the Twisted Gumball Trendy Twine down the vine.  I glued it on instead of wrapping it around so it would stay right where I wanted it.  Then I added just a touch of Frosted Lace Stickles all over the small stamped images.

Trendy Twine and The Alley Way Stamps

Hi everyone!  Trendy Twine has teamed up with The Alley Way Stamps today!  I got to play with some fun stamps and new twine!!!  Today, Twisted Gumball is being released--it's so pretty!!  And I used The Alley Way Stamps Petal Pushers.

So here's my project for today.  We used our new fabulous Twisted Gumball Twine, The Alleyway Stamps and Kraft.  This is actually my second card--I had used the kraft paper on the top of my other one and I just wasn't feeling great about it.  I will probably still post it tomorrow though :)

I stamped the large flowers on the card and then 2 more to cut out.  I used pop dots to give it some dimension.   The leaves were only stamped once and cut out, then I used another pop dot on them that was not as tall.

You can see the dimension with this picture. And you can see that I added some Frosted Lace Stickles in the flower centers and on the leaves.

Now you can head over to the store and purchase this fun new twist HERE.  And be sure to visit Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine to see all the other fabulous creations and check out all the fun stamps over at The Alley Way Stamps--they just released some really cute ones :)

Treats for you

Hi everyone!

It's my turn to post over at Trendy Twine today.  To be honest, I had a hard time coming up with something to make!  I've spent the last few days getting things ready for a baby shower that happened yesterday at work.  It just wiped all the creativity out of me for the week, I think :)

First I  made a cute treat box cut from my Cricut.  I added some fun bows and outlined it in the Lemon Tart Twine.  Next, I grabbed a tin bucket and glued some Twine around the bottom, added some fun bows and and tag.  Fast, simple gifts to give out!

Now, I hope you play along with our challenge this month.  You can find the details of what to use HERE.  Then you should be sure to visit Annie's Paper Boutique to see all the great deals going on this month!
