Trendy Twine Spook-Tacular!

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

 I'm back as Guest Designer for Trendy Twine!! 

This month they are featuring Black Licorice Trendy Twine

So PERFECT for HALLOWEEN!!

I decided to make a FUN Halloween card with Scraps!!!

This one was super easy to put together!

I just used the scraps that I had leftover from the

Metal Treat Tin I Made earlier this month (Click Here)

What happened was I made the candy nugget strips a little

longer than I thought so I had to cut them down and

it left me with these little pieces which worked perfectly for this card! 

I added all the little scrap pieces to a 3 x 3 1/2

piece of cardstock then grabbed a couple of smaller strips in 

purple & green to go across my card front and of course, 

added some of that cool Black Licorice Twine

and fun Halloween Sentiment and placed it on top of a white

stitched rectangle card front - then I added a cute image

I colored up last year and popped the whole thing up

on some Fun foam and attached it to an orange card base!

I added some sequins for fun and now it's ready to be mailed off!

The Sentiment Stamp is from

Trendy Twine Witchy Treat...

Hello and Happy Thursday Crafty Friends!

 I'm back as Guest Designer for Trendy Twine!! 

This month they are featuring Black Licorice Trendy Twine

So PERFECT for HALLOWEEN!!

I decided to make another Fun Treat for another Co-Worker!

I made another FUN WHIMSICAL Treat for a fellow Co-Worker -

I grabbed an Orange Chevron Treat Bag

and added some more Hershey's Nuggets 

Then grabbed my Witch hat die and attached it

to the top of my treat! I used some Black Licorice Twine

on my witch hat, then glued the buckle over it and then 

used some Clear wink of Stella to glitter it up -

I die cut out a stitched banner and used a fun

Sentiment and placed it across my treat bag and then

I die cut out a couple more spiders and trimmed them down

to fit around the banner sentiment -

Live like a Butterfly....

Hello & Happy Friday Crafty Friends!!

Another week has gone by and I'm excited for the weekend!!!

Still very busy running around and hope one of

these days things will lighten up!

I've had this card sitting on my desk for

a long while - It's a FOILED CARD!!

You guys know I LOVE to FOIL!!!

But I just never put it together, so I

finally sat down and put everything together and

I gotta say... I LOVE the way it turned out!!

I'm using Digital Images from Polka Dot Orchard

So I used my Laser printer and printed out the sentiment & Butterflies

on a piece of vellum -

Then I grabbed some Pink/Gold Foil and placed it through

my laminator and everything came out beautifully -

I hand cut the butterflies, cuz I wanted 1 for the inside of my card

Then I Laser printed this fabulous design on a piece of 

Neenah Solar White cardstock and grabbed a piece of 

Pink Fushia Foil and put it through my laminator as well

I made sure to leave enough space on my vellum to over hang on

my white cardstock piece and attached the two together

so no adhesive would show through - Then I cut a piece of

Gold Foiled Cardstock out and attached them all together

and added some Fun Foam to the back for Dimension

and adhered it all to a White Card base -

The Butterflies were attached with Multi-Matte Medium glue and

I just added glue where the foiled design is so it wouldn't show through -

I added a piece of Gold foil strip to the inside to complete

my card - I also added a couple of Lucy's Cards Gems -

This looks so elegant up close and in person!!!

Live Life Like a Butterfly

**** And just so you know... I took the image (Above)

and enlarged it so I could just get the butterfly

images... then I erased what I didn't want

and sized my butterflies accordingly -

That's one of the benefits of digital stamps

they can be sized up or down and you

can remove sections you don't want - 

Most regular stamps you can't do that with -

so it's a nice way to get even more creative with what

you have!!! ****

Have a Magical Weekend!!

Drink your coffee and..

Hello & Happy Wednesday Fellow Crafters!

Today is a special day - 💕💕

It's my 27th Wedding Anniversary!

My hubby & I have been through a lot over the years

and I'm so grateful that he still lights up when I talk to him

or hold his hand or just sit next to him... He is

a wonderful person and I'm happy that I get

to walk through life with him - for better or worse!

Anyway... moving on to less mushy stuff!!!

I made a fun card using some images from Polka Dot Orchard

I thought this sentiment was so FUN and I like that I made it into a

Fall themed card that I can mail off to a crafty friend!

I'm using Digital papers again from the Farmhouse Collection

Trendy Twine Ghost Candy...

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

 I'm back as Guest Designer for Trendy Twine!! 

This month they are featuring Black Licorice Trendy Twine

So PERFECT for HALLOWEEN!!

I decided to decorate a Fun Tin!

I wanted to make a FUN WHIMSICAL Treat for a fellow Co-Worker -

So I started with die cutting out a Ghost!

Then I added adhesive to the front of my ghost cardstock and

attached the Black Licorice Twine - I trimmed off around the

bottom to give it that wavy look - once it was

done it seemed plain so I decided to make it a Female ghost!

 So I grabbed some of my Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine

and cut some small strips to make the Hair & a mouth - I attached 

everything with some Multi-Matte Medium Glue - Then I

grabbed a piece of Totally White Trendy Twine and proceeded

to make her a bow for her hair! The Ghost die I have

has eyes so I glued them on her and then I die cut another

tiny white circle to give her a nose - 

I wanted my ghost on a tag, so I die cut a tag out and added

some Halloween Washi tape to it - then I die cut out the

wonky shape where I added a Fun Sentiment -

Since my tag was ready, I was ready to add some

candy to my tin - I cut 12 strips of 1" x 3" Halloween Paper

and wrapped my Hershey Nuggets around them - I

glued them down with the Multi-Matte Glue, after they

dried I added them inside my tin and then added a

couple more strips of Halloween paper to wrap

around my Tin - I added a little more Black Licorice Twine

and made a bow through the tag - and it's ready to give out

to my favorite co-work!

Holiday Ginger...

Hello & Happy Friday Everyone! 

YAY! The weekend has come back around again!

And tomorrow is National Card Making Day!

Do you guys have plans to work on your holiday cards???

Mine are done for this year... I might get a head start on next years

We shall see, I still have lots of things going on while

my son is still home, so I don't know from Day to day anymore!

Since tomorrow is the Kick off to the Holiday card-making season

I thought I would share a Fun, Quick Christmas card I made

using some leftover pieces in my doodlebug stash!

How CUTE is this guy??? 

This really only took me about 5 minutes to put together

Maybe 10 minutes tops! 

I had the stitched circle paper, heart piece, sentiment strip,

oval rectangle, & gingerbread man - all extras in my

Doodlebug stash from other projects - so I only had to

cut out the gingerbread background paper with a

Stitched rectangle frame die - Placed in on some

Fun Foam and then added the other pieces ... 

I added the blue holiday sticker last minute and called it done!

I like how easy, fun and simple this turned out to be!

I hope you all have a very CRAFTY WEEKEND!!!
