Hi Everyone!
Today I am sharing a card with
some Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine.

For my card, I used some die cut stars and stitched around them with some Trendy Twines.

A Colorful Hello

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a project for the

Pink and Main design team.

This month the Pink and Main Challenge is Shakers, I love to make them, love to give them and get them! They are just so fun! So I made a shaker card with the *NEW* Nesting Hexagon dies and used the Hello die as the sentiment.

For the card, I die cut a white card stock panel from the Rounded stitched rectangle die. I made several shaker windows with the smallest Hexagon die then filled them with rainbow and small heart iridescent sequins. Then added the Hello sentiment that is die cut with black card stock then accented with some Crystal Clear Spectrum Noir sparkle pen and added some glossy accents.

I love how sparkly the sentiment is with

the Spectrum Noir sparkle pen and glossy accents.

Camp Create Day 5- Background Bonanza

Hi Everyone!

I am back to share a project for the final day
of Camp Create Day 5- Background Bonanza.

I decided to make a rainbow inspired background with the small heart and sun in the Cheerful Blessings stamp set (MFT). I masked off the sentiment after I stamped and heat embossed it. Then I added the hearts in a rainbow and then suns. I finished it off by adding some shimmer and glossy accents.

For the second card, I used the same stamp set and stamped the sentiment, die cut it with a circle die then added the heart and sun in two shades of yellow to mimic sun rays. I finished this card off with some shimmer and sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Camp Create Day 3- Inlaid made easy!

Hi Everyone!

I am back with Day 3 for Camp Create.

Day 3 was all about Inlaid Die cuts, I don't have many MFT Dienamics so I got some inspiration from a crafty friend ;o) and used the few that I do have.

I created a Birthday card with some fun bright colors.
The sentiment is the Inlaid portion of the project.
The balloons are hand cut then popped up in the panel that was die cut using the Zig Zag stitched rectangles die (MFT). I added some Totally White Trendy Twine for some playful balloon strings. I finished the card off with a layer of Teal card stock and some sparkling Clear sequins.

Camp Create Day 2- Coloring on Kraft

Hi Everyone!

I am back to share some cards I made for
the MFT Camp Create challenge.

Day 2 is all about Coloring on Kraft card stock.

I decided to try and color some of the cute girls I have from MFT, I made these with some of my crafty girlfriends in mind. I can't wait to send them out.

The first card I stamped the girl from Crafty Friends stamp set (MFT) in Black Licorice ink and used my Prismacolor pencils to color her. I made her in the image of a friend :) I added some white gel pen accents and a little bit of sparkle to her.

The second girl I did the same thing, she is from the I Pick You stamp set (MFT) and I plan to send this one to another friend, hopefully to brighten her day.

I really enjoyed coloring on Kraft card stock.

I don't do it enough!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Camp Create Day 1- Foiling

Hi Everyone!

I have been following along and completely inspired by all the great projects being featured this week over at the

MFT Blog called Camp Create.

The first day is all about Fantastic Foiling.

I don't have a foiling machine so I decided to use some of my Stick It adhesive sheets, the Bright Lights alpha dies and some foil. I created two cards for the challenge.

For this card, I die cut a panel using the Zig Zag stitched rectangles from White card stock then I added the die cut letters that were cut from adhesive sheets, next I added orange foil to the top, burnished it then removed. To finish the card, I added some sparkling clear sequins and popped it up on a white card base.

For the second card, I used a Kraft card stock base. I stamped the sentiment "You Make Life" from the Simply Fabulous Saying stamp set (MFT) with some Black licorice ink. Then added the border with a Copic Multiliner and a ruler. Finally, I added the die cut letters cut from the adhesive sheets again then added the green foil. I wanted this card to have a more masculine feel so I kept it simple.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you are inspired to play with some foil.

Have a wonderful day!

Water you up to? Whale card

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a card for Pink and Main stamps.

I was inspired by the all the twine colors that were sitting on my desk and the *new* Nesting Hexagon and Scallop border dies to create a Nautical themed card.

I started out by paper piecing the cute whale

from the Whale of a Time stamp set.

Then I die cut the hexagon and a hexagon frame using two of the layering hexagons. Next, I used the new Scallop dies to create some waves with vellum and blue card stocks. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on a strip of paper to added to the front. For the background, I used some Nautical papers I received in a card kit layered with navy card stock on my red panel.
Finally I used some Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine and some Totally White Trendy Twine and added a star charm and a cute anchor paper clip to the front in opposite corners.

Trendy Twine- Patriotic Flipbook Album

Hi Everyone!
Today I am sharing a project featuring Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine
and several different products from
Annie's Paper Boutique.

I made an Envelope Flipbook album with a
4th of July theme to document the holiday.
I started the album out by adhering four square envelopes together like any flip book but I wanted to turn this into a keepsake album. I wrapped the Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine around the album as the closure.

The front cover of the book.

I made a paper clip with some "Made with Love"

ribbon and Totally White Trendy Twine.

Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine

and charm on the front that says "Made with Love".

Each page has a photo spot inside the envelope pocket with a circle tab. I added a Metallic Silver Mini Envelope with a journaling tag or photo spot and a velcro enclosure. On the top of the page, I used a cut apart from the paper pad and stamped some words from several stamp sets, 'Amazing' and 'Thankful' from the Feeling Happy! stamp set and the 'Blessed' from the Hello Fall stamp set.

On this page, I used three of the cut aparts and added a Totally Red, Totally White and Totally Navy Trendy Twine bow to each one.

For this next envelope or page, I added a photo mat with another cut apart

and I made another paper clip with some Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine added to the top.

This page I made a pocket with a bigger page element and added a tag and small photo spot and another paper clip that added some ribbon and Star & Stripes Trendy Twine.

On the White Parcel Tag, I used a Blue Grid Trendy Page Dot then stamped a few sentiments from the Foodies Stamp set and the lines from the Check It Off: stamp set then finished the tag with some Totally Red Trendy Twine.

On the back of the tag, I added some more lines to journal on from the Check it Off stamp set.

For the last page, I used a Manila Paper pocket and made a tag from the paper and added a Red Chevron Trendy Page Dot and some Totally Navy Trendy Twine to the tag. I wrapped some Totally White Trendy Twine to the pocket to accent the blue.

On the tag, I stamped the "Holiday" and "Family Time" from the At Home stamp set and the bottom heart label stamp is from the Check it Off stamp set and its perfect to document the date.
