Trendy Twine - Hawaiian Gift Set

Hello and Happy Monday Crafty Friends!

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

Today I'm sharing a gift set I made for
one of my boys who has a Birthday next week!

My son is in the Marines and he's stationed in Hawaii -
So this set is PERFECT for him since he loves the water
and loves to play guitar! 😀

My card front was really easy to put together since it was an "extra"
I had lying around in one of my craft stash bags - The Orange cardstock &
designer paper/scallop edge was already put together when I found it.

 The Surfer image was already colored too, it's from 
Your Next Stamp and I colored him with Copic Markers
along time ago. The designer papers for my Card front are
from SU and are really old. I decided to use a Stitched
rectangle die to trim it down then I  wrapped some
Orange Limeade Trendy Twine around the front.

I then wanted my Surfer Dude to stand out a little more so
I found a scrap piece of that DP and used a stitched
circle die to place behind him. I popped the circle up with dimensionals.

While looking at the Choose Happy Stamp set
I found the "Mahalo" Word and thought that was PERFECT
for my card! I stamped it on a Stitched banner die with
some Momento Black ink.
I adhered the Card front to a piece of Orange Fun Foam
then attached it to my White Card base!

I LOVE how it looks and My son will love it!

Now I was ready to work on my tag! I found a little more of

that DP in my scrap pile and added it to an already cut out orange 

tag I had in my Scrap bag! (nice way to use up those extras) we

all seem to have on hand! 😉

I wrapped a piece of Orange Limeade Trendy Twine

around my tag and added an orange stitched zig-zag border

piece (also found in my stash). Then stamped the CUTE Sentiment

stamps from the Choose Happy Set onto a 

stitched white circle piece I found as well...

I attached it all to my tag then found some blue stars 

I could also add - I really need to look at my

Scrap bag stashes more often! I have way too many

extra pieces lying around in my craft room! 😁

Then I wrapped more Orange Limeade Trendy Twine around the

Guitar top and attached the tag and made a double bow.

I thought you might like to see the guitar sucker I found

at my local 99¢ Store! It was the perfect match up to my card!

I've already mailed this set off to him - Hopefully, he'll

get it just in time for his Birthday!!!

Espresso Hello...

Hello & Happy Monday Everyone!

Happy Memorial day as well!!

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend 

with Friends and family - 

I've been enjoying it by making some coffee

cards - not something I normally do -

But have to say it's been fun! :)

I'm playing along with the 

Coffee Lovers Spring/Summer Blog Hop

I don't own tons of coffee Stamps and dies (YET) -

So I'm using what I do have and the 

Coffee Break Stamp & Die Set from My Creative Time

is a Wonderful Set to get you started or add to your collection!

The Large background splatter is from Super Sponsor

Your Next Stamp - It's one of my favorite splatter stamps!

I stamped it in Memento Rich Cocoa & in Lady Bug Red

Then I die cut it out with a Wonky Stitch Die

from My Favorite Things

I stamped & die cut all the pieces to make the coffee cup -

and then added some Krafty Red Trendy Twine from

Annie's Paper Boutique to make my cute bow -

I wanted a simple sentiment, so I grabbed the

Jaded Blossom - Java Time Stamp set and

stamped a simple Hello Sentiment so I could mail

this off to a crafty friend! Then I added some

Bling just to tie everything together!

Have a FANTASTIC DAY!!!

I swear they are NOT long enough sometimes! :) 

I spent my weekend making projects for my DT. 

Some went easy which I love and others...

UGH... I struggled... It happens... I still have a

few more to get done, but for now, I'm taking a 

break from it or I'll go Nuts! :)

Valentine's Day of course! :)
