Trendy Twine October Challenge

Hello everyone!   I'm here today with a treat box I made for the October Trendy Twine Challenge!  This month we are showcasing the Orange Licorice Trendy Twine.

My project:

Details:

• Orange Licorice Trendy Twine
• Box cut at 6 inches from Cricut Artiste Cartridge
• Spider on web cut from Cricut Create A Critter 2 Cartridge
• My Thoughts Exactly Halloween Subway Art Stamp
• DCWV paper stack
• Frosted Lace and Black Diamond Stickles
• Scotch Quick Dry Glue

I covered the spider web die cut with the Orange Licorice Trendy Twine and added a bow.  Then I used the Frosted Lace Stickles to bling the spider and the black to make some eyes.  This is a really easy box to assemble and super cute!

Fall leaves

Hi everyone!  Just thought I would post real quick to show you what I've been working on for 2 weeks (or more).

There are 54 3x3 cards.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but these were a bit of work.  I embossed, stamped, outlined, glimmer misted, wrapped twine, tied bows and glued them all together!   I actually made 55, but my MIL wanted one for her fridge :)

Sorry the color isn't the best.  I'm on my way to an all-weekend crop with these but wanted a quick picture.

Have a great weekend!

Hugs to You

Hi everyone!  I discovered on Saturday that I am just a better day time crafter.  Which is hard since I have a full-time 8-5 job!  But I was able to make a few cards over the weekend, one of which I can show you.  I submitted a few for  publication so we will see how that goes :)  And I have been working on 55 3 x 3 calling cards for a week, here and there at night.  They need to be done by the 28th.  I think I am half way done so I'm doing pretty good :)

I'm sending this card in a care package this week.  I really wanted to get it off on Saturday, but I did not get it finished in time.

Here are the details:

• Hello Kitty cut at 4 inches
• Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine
• DCWV paper
• My Pink Stamper Everyday Life stamp
• Yellow Stickles
• Doodlebug Mini Jewels
• Pop dots

I hope to have some more to post this week.   But I am having a House Party on Saturday and need to get ready for that too.  I should Cricut a banner--that would be fun!

Have a great week!
