Trendy Twine - Mr. & Mrs.

Hey There!

I'm over on the Trendy blog sharing another card showcasing Krafty Red Trendy Twine. Wedding season is upon us and this Spring and Summer we have quite a few weddings to attend. I LOVE weddings and I just LOVE seeing a bride - such a beautiful sight :)

I created a card and gift holder for the bride and groom. 

I used lots of gorgeous Krafty Red Trendy Twine and a pillow box from Annie's Boutique. I think it's a nice option to package a gift card, gift certificate, money or in this case...  

We purchased the bride and groom a champagne brunch for one of their honeymoon days. Their honeymoon registry was online and you just simply select the gift and the hotel sets up the gifts and activities for them. I thought it was so awesome! I just printed the certificate and placed it inside the box.

I used a very simple design for the card and more die cuts and Krafty Red Trendy Twine. I love the pattern paper and the bold red. Hope the happy couple enjoys it.

Stop by the Boutique and grab these goodies to make your own wedding treats!

Trendy Twine - Anniversary Card

Hey There!

I'm over on the Trendy blog sharing a fun Anniversary card showcasing Krafty Red Trendy Twine. Our wedding anniversary is in March (17 years :)) so I wanted to make a card for the hubs.

Let me tell you... He is a good reason to be happy :) I wanted a bright and happy card so I always think of yellow as a bright and happy color. I trimmed the edge of some printed card stock with Krafty Red Trendy Twine. I love this color combo, I thought it looked nice together. 

I stamped a Happy sentiment from My Creative Time and adhered it to the Yellow gingham paper. I thought the card needed one last touch so I added a double kraft red bow!

Don't forget this is the last week we are showcasing  Krafty Red Trendy Twine so stop by the blog and get inspired!

Die Cuttin Diva's - Carnival Theme

Hey there!

It's Tuesday and you know what that means... A new challenge over at  Die Cuttin' Divas. This week we are off to have some fun at the carnival!! We are celebrating National Carnival Day ~ Use something you would find at a carnival or circus.

I went with the most obvious :) 

A circus tent! I used a cut from CAC cricut and some really old paper and I even doodled on my ticket tags. The sentiments are from Craftin Desert Diva's - such a cute set. 

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the inspiration from DT and join us for the Carnival/Circus challenge! We would love to have you.

Die Cuttin Diva's - Kids Theme

Happy Tuesday!
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's challenge. This week is all about the kids! It's always fun to make a project for a child, I love using all the fun kid colors and elements.
I found these great cards on pinterest... so many different versions and styles and you can make them using circle dies. 

I chose a bright lime green with polka dots for the background but you can chose any color. They have some really cute dragon cards in purple... the options are really endless.

First I chose the size card I wanted (A2) then I used my largest circle die to cut a semi circle in my paper but I did not cut all the way through. You actually can cut all the way through but then you probably need a color card stock behind as well. Next I cut 5 - .75" circles for the monster teeth, 2-1.5" circles for the eyes and 3- .25" circles for the nose and eyes. Once you have everything complete, assembly is simple. I adhered the teeth inside the slit, attached the eyes and nose, stamped a fun sentiment from Scrappy Mom stamps and it was that simple.

Challenges

Doubleclick - Happy Birthday Challenge

Die Cuttin Diva's - Say it with LOVE!

Happy Tuesday!
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's challenge. This week is all about LOVE! February is a month filled with love, hearts, pink, red, chocolate & more chocolate :) So come join us at DCD and say it with love!
I have a card to share today using a really old cartridge from Cricut. Create a critter. Wow, I just LOVED that cartridge when I first got it and I looked it over when I made this card and thought I still really love it :)  

So to start I found a cute "Love" cut on the CAC cartridge and cut it using my gypsy. Yes Gypsy... it still works :) 

I'm currently remodeling my craft space. We recently had hardwood floors installed and lower cabinets installed but no counter top. I think we are going to DIY one but just can't decide. I tell you this is going to be a work in progress. For now, it's organized (in boxes) but at least I can find everything. So in all my cleaning and organizing and purging.... I found my edge distresser and thought I would use it. I distressed the edges and forgot how much I like that look :) I love when that happens.

I cut this out and boy it really needed something so I thought I would try and make a shaker out of the heart. Using my gypsy I welded a smaller heart to the large heart and cut it again. It worked perfect. 

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the inspiration from DT and join us for the LOVE challenge! We would love to have you.

"I created my project for Larelyn on the Cut it Up team."

 I wanted to make her a little treat :) So I made a little chap stick treat holder.

I created the holder with some Red and kraft polka dot cardstock and Krafty Red Trendy Twine Just a 3" x 6" strip folder to create a little purse.

I attached the twine to the top and then used a My Creative time Pop up die for the inside to hold the chap stick.

Die Cuttin Diva's - Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday!
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's challenge. This week we have a sketch for you. I love a good sketch. 
I don't usually use the sketch exactly as is. I try to let my creativity take hold and do something fun. To begin with I turned the sketch, then instead of using paper for the base I stamped some word art. I used some pretty sea foam green, black and gold.

I used a star die cut for the middle and a die cut for the thanks.

Instead of using a heart shape or sequins in the corners, I used gold striped washi tape. I just wanted to show how creative you can get with a sketch or keep it simple. Either way come join the fun at Die Cuttin Diva's

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the inspiration from DT and join us for the Sketch challenge! We would love to have you.
