Happy Birthday Video...

Hello & Happy Wednesday Everyone!

How's your week going so far? I actually have a short

week this week - With Easter coming up this weekend 

we're taking an extra day or 2 off to go drive to the other house -

My hubby needs his medicine, food, New Glasses, and

test kit, so we're trekking down to help him out and work on

the other place - Luckily it's in the middle of nowhere

so we don't have to worry about other people being close by -

- Homes out there are 1 1/2 to 4 acres apart -

I'm hoping to get more work done, since our move is nearing closer -

When I was there back in February, I meet a neighbor (2 streets over)

and she had heard from my husband that I made cards - 

She asked me if I would make some for her grandkids -

Of course, I said YES! One of her granddaughters

LOVES to play video games and likes the color purple

so I created this card with her in mind -

I thought this turned out pretty cool and so did she!

They don't have much for girls who play video games, so I had to kind

of design my own thing - 

Cardstock - Papertrey ink, Neenah Solar White, SU

Watercolor Digital Designer Paper - Silhouette Store

Stitched Rectangle Frame Die - My Creative Time

VersaMark Ink, SSS Ultra Fine White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Glossy Accents for the Buttons (Was still wet when I took the picture)

Video Controller images and Sentiment Stamps are from:

Papertrey ink (Game On) & Pretty Cute Stamps (Game On)

Stormy Trendy Twine 

Game Controller SVG File - Silhouette Store (#79637)

Banner Die - My Favorite Things

Fun Foam, Misti tool, Canon IP8720 Printer

This is how I did the inside - I used 2 different shades of grey ink for the sentiment

She hasn't given it to her granddaughter yet - but said she thinks

she'll love it too!

Have a safe and Happy Day!!

Trendy Twine Santa Treat

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

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

This is my last Month as Guest Host and I really hope
I've shared some fun ways to use Trendy Twine on your projects! 

This month they are featuring Christmas Mint Trendy Twine

Such a YUMMY Color Combo!!! 

School gets out in a couple of days for us, and I
needed another last-minute treat for another  co-worker 
so I created this - 

I love how the candy treat matches the Santa Topper!

This came together pretty quickly - I used a Ric Rac Topper Die I have and

a Santa Story Book Die I have, a Stitched Circle die, and a Stitched banner

die - I put the pieces together the way I liked and then I grabbed

a fun sentiment stamp from the Merry & Bright Stamp Set and

heat embossed that in black - 

I stapled the topper to my treat and then tied some Christmas Mint Twine 

around one corner then made a tiny bow with it - 

Super CUTE and I can't wait to give this to my friend!

Trendy Twine Chevron Treat bag

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

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

This is my last Month as Guest Host and I really hope
I've shared some fun ways to use Trendy Twine on your projects! 

This month they are featuring Christmas Mint Trendy Twine

Such a YUMMY Color Combo!!! 

Since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought
I would make a yummy treat for a Co-Worker!

It's a Shaker!!! EEK! I love making shakers!!! :)

I started out by grabbing a Red Chevron Treat bag and filling it with some

yummy chocolates, then I grabbed my Mitten Shaker die set and

cut out the mittens in white cardstock then I

stamped some snowflakes on them in red and green ink - 

I made one layer the shaker element using some assorted

holiday sequins from my stash and then I added the

Sentiment using the Merry & Bright Stamp set -

I wanted the sentiment to POP, so I used black heat embossing

Then I wrapped some Christmas Mint Twine around the trim

of both mittens - then attached it to my Chevron treat bag -

I decided to dress it up a little more by adding a bow on the shaker mitten

and at the top of the other mitten - 

Super CUTE and I can't wait to give this to my friend!

Trendy Twine - Elegant Ornament

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

 I'm back as Guest Designer for Trendy Twine!! 
This is my last Month as Guest Host and I really hope
I've shared some fun ways to use Trendy Twine
on your projects! So let's get started!!! :)

This month they are featuring Christmas Mint Trendy Twine

Such a YUMMY Color Combo!!! 
I Love this for the holidays!

Since Christmas is just around the corner, I thought
I would make an ornament!

This ornament turned out so pretty and shimmers on my tree!

I bought a clear ornament bulb from the $ store and thought

I could dress it up with my twine - So I started out by

painting on some Mod podge to my clear ornament

and then just adding the Christmas Mint Twine on top

of that. I continued the process until I got all the way to the bottom

Once that was done, I let it sit to dry completely (it didn't take long)

and then I spritzed my ornament with some sparkle sheer shimmer spray -

After that dried for a few minutes, I tied a strip of the Mint Twine

around the very top part of the bulb and added 2 small gold bells to the ends - 

Then I found some glittery flowers in my stash

and attached them to the top with some hot glue - 

I really do like how my ornament turned out - it looks very elegant

Trendy Twine Grateful treat...

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

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

This month they are featuring Orange Truffle Trendy Twine

So PERFECT for Fall & Thanksgiving!!

I decided to make a treat for Thanksgiving Day -

This one turned out so Elegant!

I started out by grabbing a Mini Kraft Treat Bag and then
used my embossing buddy all over it - 
Then I grabbed a leaf stamp from my stash & some versamark ink
and stamped the bag - I put copper embossing powder
all over the image and heat set it -  
It turned out so lovely -
I found a piece of designer paper that looked like wood
and stamped a sentiment & embossed it in the copper embossing powder
then I pulled out 2 glittery leaves from my embellishments and
adhered the sentiment banner and leaves to my bag -

Then I grabbed a mini Clothespin and attached it to the
top of my bag to keep it closed and made a lovely
bow with the Truffle Twine then adhered the bow to the clothespin

This is going to look so lovely on my table for Thanksgiving
I made enough for the couple of people that will be here -

The Kraft treat bag is from Annie's Paper Boutique

Trendy Twine Fall Gift Bag Card...

Hello & Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

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

Today, I thought I would share a re-purpose idea that I had! 
I saw these beautiful Fall Gift bags at the Dollar Tree -

and thought... WOW! These would be beautiful on a card!

YUP! that's where I'm going with this...

Check out what I created --

So, to start I cut up the pretty gift bag - Then I sized it

to fit thru my sizzix machine where I used a Stitched Frame die

Then I had some DCWV Burlap paper and cut that down to size as well

I adhered them both together then I wrapped some

Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around the card front

I let that sit off to the side for a minute while

I used a couple different leaf punches I have with some

DCWV Fall designer paper and then I placed them on my card front

I knew I was going to use that sweet pie image from

the Perfect Pairs Planner Stamp set so I stamped

it on some Neenah solar white cardstock and colored

it with my Prismacolor pencils and some Gamsol

I used a Stitched Circle die to cut it out then I

die-cut another circle in brown cardstock 

I adhered both together and then I grabbed the 

Smile Stamp Set to add the Hello sentiment underneath the pie

I then added this to my card front using some dimensionals -

Once than was done, I attached some Fun Foam to the back of my card front

and adhered it to a dark brown card base -

I felt my card needed a little more, so I made a double bow and attached

it to the front of my card and then added some tiny sequins -

I'm super happy with how this card turned out and it's 

ready to go out in the mail to someone special!!!
