Happy Easter featuring Trendy Twine

Hi Everyone! 

Happy Easter!

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday 

with family and friends.

Today the Trendy Twine design team is 

featuring some Easter projects.

I made a treat holder for my project. 

I am giving this to our daughter for Easter.

For my project, I used Easter Peeps stamp set and coordinating dies from Pink & Main stamps, they are stamped in black ink and colored with copic markers, I used a  white gel pen for some accents along with some wink of stella. The sentiment is heat embossed in white and punched out with two punches and made into a tag and added to the handle using some Grape fizz Trendy Twine.
I colored and die cut the butterfly and added a trail using some Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

 I used some Totally Limeade Trendy Twine to make some grass for the little basket to sit on.

This is a side view of the take out box.

 Clear take out box, 

also available in the store.

Hi, everyone!

This Week's Sketch:

My Design Team Project:

For my card, I used a Long Neck Giraffe digital stamp 

from JustMEdigital stamps on Etsy.

The image is printed and colored with copic markers, 

then I die cut the image and some brown dotted paper with a Lawn Fawn die. I used the Animal Crackers stack for the background and added some Totally Kraft Trendy Twine for a fun embellishment. Next, I added the "FRIEND" sentiment on a die cut oval and added some white gel pen accents to the sentiment and the cute giraffe. 

I know I can always use a friend card 

for any occasion to brighten someone's day.

Some Honey for you!

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a project for 
the Trendy Twine design team.

This month the team is featuring projects using the Bumblebee Trendy Twine.

For my project, I used the  medium candy bags 

also available in the store.

These Medium candy bags hold several 

honey sticks perfectly.

Honey sticks are our daughter's favorite treat. 

The Medium candy bags hold 10 honey sticks each.

The cute Hello Kitty bee is from an SVG Cutting Files exclusive blog hop from last year.

She is just too cute and perfect for a girly 

bee inspired project. 

I used a die cut paper doily and wrapped it around the candy bag and added some Bumblebee Twine with a Hello tag. Then I added the cute Hello Kitty Bee to that. I accented the Bee with some stickles, Liquid Pearls and enamel accents. Then I finished the bag with some more 

Twine on the top with another tiny tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Have a wonderful day!

Card Harmony- You're So Sweet!

Hi Everyone!

Today is the third Monday of March,

So that means its Card Harmony time 

with my bestie, Stacey.

This month Stacey picked Sweet Smiles from Lawn Fawn.

The second part of the challenge was to use some kind of watercoloring on the project.

Sweet Smiles (Lawn Fawn)

stamp and coordinating die

Here is the card I created to send to Stacey.

 I made a rainbow background with some distress inks and watercolor paper and die cut the layers with a Mama Elephant set. I added the sentiment to some vellum with versamark ink and silver embossing powder. The gumball machine and gumballs are also heat embossed in silver, then painted with some distress inks. I added the cute faces and some wink of stella and glossy accents to embellish.

I added some perfect pearls mist to the watercolored panel for some sparkle.

I loved watercoloring this fun image 

so I made a few more cards to go into my stash.

I kept the design clean and simple to let the images stand out.

I used some vellum for the actual glass part 

of the gumball machine.

The last card only has one smiling gumball peeking out from behind the machine.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Make sure to check out what Stacey has made 

with this fun set to inspire you!

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Dino Birthday!

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a card featuring some

 *NEW* Pink and Main Stamps.

I used the Dinomite set to create a fun Birthday card.

How fun is that sentiment? I just love it! This set has a bunch of cute dinosaurs and sentiments.

I stamped and colored the images with copic markers on a die cut stitched rectangle panel. Then I added the sentiment with matching colors and some stars from the set. I added some white gel pen accents and some stickles and glossy accents to the balloons. I added the panel to another slightly larger die cut panel with stars onto a bright orange card base.

Hi Everyone! 

I'm sharing two card I made today for the 

Lawnscaping Challenge: Pop of Color.

Nothing like the last minute because the challenge ends in just a few hours! 

Phew!!

Here are my cards.

For the cards, I wanted to use a set that I haven't yet used. This one is called #Awesome from Lawn Fawn. The first card I used light kraft card stock as the base and I stamped with the same colored ink for a tone on tone background, 

then I added the sentiment to the bottom of the card embossed in white. 

The second card, I went the gray tones and stamped different images from the set for the background. 

The "instagram" cameras I stamped in Desert Sand (Memento Ink) and in Hippo (Lawn Fawn ink) then I used copic markers to achieve a no-line (sorta ;) ) look. I added a little bit of wink of stella clear glitter brush pen to finish off each card. 

I know several Instagram friends that I could send these too! I have made so many wonderful friends there 

and have been very inspired by them.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

I dusted off my cricut for this cute shamrock and of course, I had to add a cute Peachy face to it! 

I used my favorite PK set- Kawaii face assortment (No longer available). The sentiment is This & That from My Creative Time stamps, stamped in black Versafine ink and heat embossed in clear powder. I used the Double dots Bold and Brights 6x6 paper in two shades of green. I added a stripe of green ribbon to the card panel. Then I added some white faux stitching to the shamrock and accents to the face and used some Pink chalk on the cheeks. The card size is 4.25 x 4.25.

For this card, I used one of the new March digital images from 2 Cute Ink digital stamps called Easter Friends.  I colored the image with copic markers and die cut the image with circle dies. Then I cut a scalloped circle with the Birthday Bash cartridge on my Cricut using the Springtime 6x6 paper pad from Doodlebug designs. Next I heated embossed the sentiment using white ink and embossing powder, the sentiment is from My Kind of Peep stamp set from Simon Says Stamp March 2016 card kit.

Greetings From the FUNNY Farm!

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a card featuring 

some new stamp sets just released from 

Pink and Main stamps- 

Funny Farmer and The Herd.

How stinkin cute are those animals and that farmer?? 

Love them!!
I made this card simple to let these characters be the star of the show. I started out by stamping then masking the farmer and then the different animals. Then I colored everything with copic markers and added some white gel pen accents. The sentiment is from the Funny Farmer set. Lastly, I added a little bit of wink of stella clear glitter brush pen to the tool.
These two stamp sets have so many fun possibilities!

PPS 003- Otter Birthday Wishes

Hi, everyone! 

Today I am sharing the new sketch challenge at 

Paper Play Sketches.

Hope you'll join us!

This Week's Sketch:

My Design Team Project:

I stamped this cute otter in brown ink and colored it in with copic markers. I also colored the little gift box then cut his hand so it looks like the otter is holding the gift while floating. The paper is pretty and holographic, perfect for a fun birthday card! I cut the waves using the negative of a scallop border die from Pretty Pink Posh. The banner is a few punches from Stampin Up and EKSuccess that are popped up. I can always use birthday cards and this sketch is perfect for that or any special occasion! I can't wait to see what everyone makes!

Hap-BEE Birthday!

Hi Everyone! 

Today I am sharing a few cards for 
the Trendy Twine Design Team.

This month the team is featuring 
the Bumblebee Trendy Twine.

I made some fun "Bee" inspired birthday cards.

This card is made for a boy.

 This one is made for a girl with her cute little bow.

 For these card, I kept the background white with some honeycomb embossing, I added some yellow and black washi tapes to the panels along with some Bumblebee Trendy Twine, one with a bow and one with an open bow. I colored the cute bees from 2CuteInk- Cupcake Bee with copic markers and added some accents with white gel pen, wink of stella clear glitter brush pen and stardust stickles.
Next, I die cut the bees out with a circle die then added the fun sentiment to curve on the circle edge. Then I finished the card with some more Bumblebee Trendy Twine as a bee trail and bow then added some matching enamel dots to the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
