Trendy Twine -- New Year's Treats

Hello everyone!  I'm posting over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine today. I have made some quick treat boxes that you can give out on New Year's or a New Year's Eve Party.


I used the 2x2 Clear Boxes that you can find in the store along with the fabulous Holly Berry Trendy Twine.


First, I filled the 2x2 box with some silver Hershey Kisses.  Next I cut a 1 inch white card stock and wrapped it around the box.  I cut a red circle out and stamped the happy and new year at the top and bottom of the circle so I could wrap my Holly Berry Twine around and tie the bow in the middle. Lastly, I added 2 silver stars I die cut to the front with pop dots.



Have a fabulous day and a very Happy New Year!

Trendy Twine -- Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone!  The Trendy Twine Design Team would like to wish you a Merry Christmas!!   This was my Christmas card this year....not very fancy, but at least it was home made and I got them out before Christmas  :)


I used my Cricut to cut out the card and the fabulous Candy Cane Trendy Twine to accent my card.  

I hope you head over to Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine to see all the Christmas wishes.    


Have a very Merry Christmas!!

Trendy Twine -- A Holly Berry Christmas

Hello everyone!  It's my turn to post over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine.  Today, I made a cute little treat box using the Candy Tin and some Holly Berry Trendy Twine.  I also added two sequins from the new Holly Berry Sequins Mix :) 


I did make this a simple gift, but I think it looks like a nice little gift.  I filled my tin with 8 tiny Kit Kat Bars and then I cut a two inch wide strip of paper to wrap around the tin.  The nice thing about that is the paper will slide off so the tin can be re-used :) 



You may notice that the holly matched the candy -- to be honest, that did not even register with me until I edited the pictures!  I just cut the holly because I wanted to make the twine berries :)  I did add some glittery accents to the edges and middle of the leaves, but I don't think that shows very well in the pictures. 


To make the berries, I put down some glossy accents and wound my Holly Berry Twine into a swirl.  I love how it looks!  I added the tag, stamped with Merry Christmas and then two of the flat sequins from the Holly Berry Sequin Mix.




These Candy Tins are so fun and such a great price.  Be sure to go grab a few over at Annie's Paper Boutique for your last minute gifts!

Have a great day!

Christmas Friends

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am in the middle of decorating for  Christmas, but made this quick card last night so I could join the Unity hop that ends tonight (Saturday).


I used the new Ginger Snap and Friends stamp set.  These are so cute!  I also used a snowflake embossing folder and some snowflake sequins.

That's it for today!  I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Trendy Twine -- Grateful for You

Hello everyone!  It's my turn to post over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine today. I made a shaker card using the new Creamy Pumpkin Trendy Twine.  All four new colors are so fun!  I also used the new Autumn Sequins Mix


This is my third shaker card and I think I am finally getting the hang of them.   I glued down my Creamy Pumpkin Trendy Twine around the outer circle.   The sequins also have some copper chunky glitter in with them. 

The circle was a bit big and I probably could have added more sequins.  But I was trying to be frugal with them :)  I finished it off with a leaf that I stamped and die cut.  And then a double bow of my Creamy Pumpkin Trendy Twine.  

Be sure to visit Annie's Paper Boutique for the new Twine and make sure to check out all the other fun goodies you can pick up too.

Have a great day!

Trendy Twine -- Happy Birthday Lesley!

Hello everyone!  Today the Trendy Twine team is wishing our leader Lesley, a Happy Birthday!  I feel so very grateful to be on such a fabulous design team and it would not be possible with Lesley!


I made and sent her a Hello Kitty birthday card using the fabulous Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.  I know she love Hello Kitty and that means pink :)

The cut came from my Hello Kitty Greeting Cricut Cartridge.  I used the Strawberry Cupcake Twine as balloon strings and tied them together with the bow.  I also used a Clear Wink of Stella Pen on the balloons to glitter them up.  I do not know how I ever crafted without these :)  The pearls were in the cheap buy me section on the way out of Michaels.


I hope you join me in wishing Lesley a Happy Birthday and head over to Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine to see all the fun projects the rest of the design team made.


Have a great day!
