Trendy Twine -- Thanks Snow Much!

Hello!  I'm posting over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine today.  I've used Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine, the Let It Snow Stamp Set and a few Frosted Cranberry Sequins on my thank you card today.


I went with the Thanks Snow Much Sentiment from the Let It Snow Stamp Set.  There is absolutely no sign of snow down here in the south though, even though I would love it!  The mittens are cut from my Cricut. I decided to connect the mittens with my Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine by gluing it along the edge of the white and then tying a bow to join them.  

I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the snowflakes on the mittens and finished it off with the Frosted Cranberry Sequins.

I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year!

Trendy Twine -- Love Joy Peace

Hello!  It's my turn to post over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine.  I have a fun treat bag on the blog today using the Cotton Muslin Bags and some Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine.


I have to admit that I was very nervous about stamping on these bags.  I really did not know if it would actually work.  But I decided to give it a try.  I used some Winnie and Walter border stamps.  I inked up the words in blue MFT Hybrid ink.  It worked so well!  I can't wait to make some more of these!!  Before I stamped, I did a quick iron of the bag to make sure it was a flat surface.


After stamping, I decided to thread my twine through the bag for my ties.  There is already a bag pull on here, but I thought it would be fun to add the matching Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine.  I found a long plastic needle and started to go through while the other was still in there (in case this didn't work).  I did have to scrunch it up and just pull it through but it worked!  Next time, I would do this before I iron it nice and flat 😉


Lastly, I decide to make a tag to go with it. The base is a Red Tag-It from the store.  Then I used three stamps from the APB Merry Christmas set.  I wanted to add the Joy to it but did not have room for the whole Joy to the World stamp.  So I carefully inked just the Joy and it really did work.  These are really great stamps -- they stamp so very well.  There are also a few Frosted Cranberry Sequins on the tag as well as the Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine.

There will be lots more fun over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine, so I hope you keep visiting!

Trendy Twine -- Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! 
The Trendy Gals wanted to wish you a happy day.


I made a pretty simple card using the Happy Thanksgiving Stamp Set and the cute pumpkin from the Happy Fall Stamp Set. Then I used the Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine and the Autumn Sequins.  I wet a paintbrush and used some orange watercolor to fling some splashes on the card.  

Please head over to Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine to see all the Thanksgiving wishes.
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Trendy Twine -- Gobble then Wobble!

Hello everyone!  I'm posting over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine today.  I can't believe it's Thanksgiving tomorrow!  I do love all the Thanksgiving food so this card is perfect for tomorrow :)


I used the fabulous Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine to line the outside of the top card layer.  I really like the look of it glued down for a border. The bow is on the bottom side where the twine meets.


I did pop dot the top layer, and add some of the Autumn Sequins from Annie's Paper Boutique. You know I love my sequins :)  The turkey and sentiment are from Unity Stamp Company, and I think the paper is from DCWV.  I colored the turkey with my Zig Clean Color markers.

I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving!!

Happy Birthday Lesley!

Hello everyone!  The Trendy Gals are posting today for our leader's birthday!  Happy Birthday Lesley!!

We all made and sent her birthday cards.  I hope she opened them before now 😉 Lesley is a cat lover so I went with a cute card for her.  I just love this cat that I cut with my Cricut machine.
 

This cat came from the Create a Critter cartridge.  I always cut them bigger than I think they will be but I thought it was cute anyway.  I used the fabulous Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine along with Raspberry Cupcake Sequins from the store.

Make sure to head over to Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine to see all the fun birthday cards that were made for Lesley!



Happy, happy Birthday Lesley--have a wonderful day!!

Growing in Unity Day 5

Hello! Well, today is my last day as the Growing in Unity Gal.  It's been so fun and I am very grateful that I had this opportunity -- thank you Unity Stamp Company!

Today, I inked up my new Owl I Want kit.  I think I own almost every owl stamp that Unity has ;) They are just so cute!


On this card, I used my Zig Clean Color Markers, Wink of Stella (again), The Paper Studio Christmas Basics, and some Holly Berry sequins from Annie's Paper Boutique. I did pop up the top layer which I cut out with a stitched rectangle die.  

I really do think that I have been getting better with my coloring and my Unity Stamps are the best one to practice with :)


Be sure to leave comments on all my posts from this week for more chances to win!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
